  1. @Paul, @Frenchie Don't forget this, in all the excitement this morning. Add another 17% commission on top. Nice.....
  2. Someone I know was in at 1500 and has only just got on. You would have thought they would be on a long time ago and you @Foster88
  3. I used to go to their auctions in Bracknell before the lurgy closed everything. On the day telephone bidding and emails was about as high tech as it got. Definitely agree they are missing out bid wise but great if you were actually there. Got some real bargains on more than one occasion 👍
  4. They release all the auction results tomorrow at about lunchtime on their website. Its a bit of a funny setup with as far as I'm aware no results released on the day.
  5. My Xmas gift from @AndrewSL76, love these little barter tokens, totally different and made by @BackyardBullion. If anyone is worried about a forthcoming zombie apocalypse and would like to exchange for a new Gothic Crown next week then please get in touch otherwise they will remain as a prized part of my collection 😀😀😀
  6. They look like Airtites to me. If you PM @morezoneon the forum here, he sells them and should be able to help you out. Not very expensive and great to deal with 😀
  7. Just awesome, thank you @Allgoldcoins for the fuss free and excellent service. Nice low COA of 57 as a little bonus 😀
  8. Normally I'm a grader but the sets look too nice to break up, so it's a long term keep as is for me 👍
  9. @Paul and @Frenchie, one for you guys to keep an eye on in the forthcoming London Coins December auction. Lot 572 - 2 oz raw Gold Una 👍 https://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Catalogue&startres=400&searchlot=&category=12&searchtype=3&searchterm=
  10. Did anyone pre-order from @Allgoldcoins. A bit of a risk without knowing the mintage or exact design but worth it I think to avoid the RM craziness on launch day. Looking forward to the 3 coin set arriving next week, fingers crossed 🤞
  11. Another addition to the 2005 collection, a 1/4 oz USA Eagle. Thanks to @Darr3nG for the great service and lovely condition coin👍
  12. Fantastic. Count me in with a 2017 Premium Uncirculated Silver Krugerrand and £10 of lottery scratchcards 👍
  13. Finally after the best part of nearly five months, two separate trips across the Atlantic and a label change, my Completer has eventually made it back safe and sound. Definitely worth the wait I think😀
  14. Pair of 2005 Sov's from @ilovesilverireallydo. Still looking for the blue carded half sovereign if anyone has one 😀
  15. Thanks @SilverMike. It's starting to look that I will have to resubmit, but we shall see. Would I be right in assuming that they won't charge you delivery costs again if I do resubmit. The delivery charge isn't cheap by any means and I don't fancy getting charged again when it is their error.
  16. Thanks @UnoWho. Hopefully they can do that it seems a bit pointless shuffling the coin backwards and forwards, but then I guess it all depends on the paperwork needed. Will definitely email on Monday and see what they say. 👍
  17. Hi all, just trying to get ahead of the game of what to expect before I contact NGC directly. I have a coin coming back from the USA and it has been assigned a MS category instead of PF so the label is going to need changing. I understand that NGC will do this for free but what I'm not sure about is whether I will have to receive the coin back first and then resend with fresh paperwork or will NGC UK just keep the slab and deal with it themselves. Also in the meantime shall I pay the invoice now or wait until the coin is correctly labelled. If anyone has any experience of this I'd greatly appreciate some advice. Cheers
  18. Thanks @dangelo. I got mine from auction 2-3 years ago, the first and only time I've ever seen them, apart from Ebay. Would definitely go down the graded route which as you say does incur the extra costs but you do definitely know what you're getting and gives you piece if mind. Maybe put a wanted ad on the forum, you never know what people have tucked away and could be looking to move on.
  19. Hi @dangelo I don't think it is good news with what you have. As far as I'm aware that is a repro that you've got either gold plated or made out of brass for the tourist market. The two main reasons that give it away are that the genuine Cal gold didn't have a bear on it and also crucially there is no value on the coin, eg dollars or cents. I happen to have a graded octagonal from 1871 which is very similar to yours, however you can see that it says 1/4 dollar as opposed to just 1/4. Hope that helps and if you Google "California gold with bear" there is quite a bit of info out there. I'm certainly no expert and have just lightly researched and read into the history. Fascinating era and times. More than happy to be challenged if I've got any wrong and hope you didn't pay too much for it 😀
  20. Sorry folks didn't check the link properly but it is the 245k Completer. Link now changed 👍
  21. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2019-Royal-Mint-The-Great-Engravers-Una-and-the-Lion-Gold-Proof-One-Kilo-1kg-/284365475436?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Anyone seen anything more expensive then this on Ebay. Just think of the commission due on this.... Still on the plus side you get free three day postage, maybe 2nd class signed for. What could possibly go wrong 😀 Now where did I leave my old lottery tickets !!!!
  22. Had to go to Hungerford this morning and whilst having a coffee thought I would Googke local coin shops and to my surprise found there was an actual open coin and stamp shop in the High Street. Popped in there and found this red leather proof set I've been missing. Great price and a really good mix of modern and new coins including a raw Three Graces. Chewed the fat for a while and it made a nice change to get something not posted. The bullion Completers turned up this morning quite by chance as well so all in all not a bad start to the day. The coin shop is called The Coin and Stamp centre and is in Hungerford High Street. I'm not affiliated in any way just thought it was worth a mention if anyone is in the area to go and have a look and keep the small businesses ticking over😀
  23. My 2021 SOTD 50p. The grading gods continue to smile at the moment and long may it continue 😀 Also thanks to Louise and @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions for the grading and great service 👍
  24. Consecutive number 3 coin 2005 Brit set. Very lucky to get top grade on all these coins and big thanks to @Clockpuncher for his help in sourcing.
