...Your doomed, doomed, I tell you...

Bought my first Sovereign today at Hatton Garden Metals. Best price I could find in town and as I moved to the UK recently I now need to get me some Capital Gains Tax free coins.

Thanks to @kneehow2018 for the safe delivery of this beautiful coin.


 

20 x Australia sovereigns

Coins back from grading ... not by @Numistacker but he gave me some help when I first started ❤️ 
These are not "worth" grading, I know. As far as investment or flipping. But I plan on passing my coin collection on to my nieces, so for them it's worth it.
I was hoping for better grades. I sent the coins in unopened Mint packaging. Probably would have been better to leave as is, but whatever. Fun
The 1976 Set is 40% silver. The 1992 Columbus $1 is 90% silver. The .50 is Cu/Ni. I also have a 1986 MS Eagle same grade, so now a nice pair.

Nothing ultra rare here, but still very collectable.

Thanks to @BleyerBullion
 

Yesterday I received:
1) The Piedfort Sovereign 2018
2) Two Israeli gold coins from an auction (KM 73 and 41)
I was tempted to touch the Piedfort to enjoy the double thickness, but, of course, I didn't do it :)

Recently @msagan75 contacted us about a trade and we were very happy to add one of his pieces to our stack!
The only problem is which one? He does so many sweet pours and we had to decide together. Well we haven't made it 28 years by fighting over little things so we told him, his choice! We love to give the artist a free hand to do something they enjoy or wanted to try that is our favorite way to add to our community box. So we sent out our side of the trade and today we received our piece in the mail!

when we opened it there was a sweet metal COA a pretty velvet box and a STICKER!!! we love stickers and this one is so very cool!!!

It had been a few days of anticipation

so together we opened the soft black velvet bag

What an awesome Thor's Axe Stormbreaker was the weapon of early Thor and after he lost his hammer he went back to his stand by the Jarnbjorn that can cut through anything as it is blessed with Thor's Blood! This is an awesome piece,it is fun to hold with a great weight balance, you feel like it could be a little magic. Here is another look at this gorgeous piece!

Dixiesilvergirl definitely is a fan of things comic book hero's and Thor is at the top of the list(right after Hulk) so she is pretty excited!
Thanks for an awesome trade and if you haven't already seen his sweet pours give him a follow on the following social media sites;

Thanks for reading and happy stacking!

mailman just delivered these 9, 2018 South African Krugerrands and a 2015 Panda! What do you think!?

Hi Bart,
I haven't heard of Elephant copies so far but I don't know if anyone would bother to create imitations of such a particular coin.
I have the gilded version of 2003 and I post the pictures below for comparison. For me your coin seems fine.
Have you tried to weigh/measure it?

Square!

 

4 new Silver Dragons, 

Hi,
Today I've received my Zambia Elephant 2003.  I got it at a very nice price.
Can you tell from the pictures is this is the real deal or a fake?  It passes the magnet test like it should, so my first impression is that it is the original coin.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge about these Zambia's elephants can give the answer.
Greetz,
Bart

Yesterday I got this stunning example of the Australian 1927 parliament house florin 

Group order coins plus my dinky roman silver coin. Slight size difference

Came back today from my holiday at Gran Canaria and the mail man brought me some pleasant surprises.
My fifth Lunar 1 10oz 2005 the Rooster. 
And a nice storage box for those shiny beauties! Thanks @Gildeon

5 Sovereign, pleasant surprise delivery today from R Mint. I must admit this Sovereign is pretty awesome. I like the way they have given Pistrucci this recognition for his interpretation of the reverse. 

MS 64 FH quarter - veeeery nice!

Recently came across this gem, I’ve purchased 100s of poured bars over the years and never have come across anything alike. Poured in 1977 to commemorate lizs silver jubilee, very rarely you see any sort of bars associated with the Queen let alone a poured beauty ? #WELLPLEASED  

Unusual for Special Deliveries to arrive on Saturdays: first parcel from "agent" Numi with some top grade gold and fine silver (and also a silver grading learning experience)

6 2 oz Egyptian Gods: Khnum from Provident.   I really like this series.

Received an older date Gold Sovereign and reborn silver...
An 1825 George IV Gold Sovereign in great condition with a grade of AU58.

And five 2014 Great Britain 1/4 oz Silver Britannia SS Gairsoppa BU, added to my 2013s.

Here are a few of the favorites from the PCGS grading. 
2017 plain edge Pistrucci sovereign. Bought this from a US eBay seller ungraded and it achieved 70DCAM so am very happy with that. Also a well traveled coin going from the Royal Mint in the UK to the US onto me in Perth Australia, then I sent it to a dealer in Sydney for submission to PCGC so then back to the US and finally after grading then back to Aus!
1981 sovereign graded PF70DCAM, bought this for a few dollars over spot as an ungraded coin. 
1974 bullion sovereign that a achieved a respectable MS64.
The 1983 £2 at PR69DCAM. This came from the three coin set, the other coins did not grade so well. cc
 
 

Hello, received two coins purchased from a dealer this week along with 10 others that came back from grading by PCGS. The coins purchased were a lovely 1911 proof £2 (66CAM) and the 2017 proof £5 sovereign (70DCAM). Have pictures of these two below.
