Nice coins, box looks tacky IMHO

Received a $20 Liberty Head from HGM today.  I'm not too fond of the head but with spot being at the lowest point for me and not owning one, I had to buy it.  Since I was paying for postage already I padded the order with 3 half sovs for the £6.50 bracket.  I got 3 different heads so quite pleased.
 
The coin is 34mm but I've squeezed it into a 32mm ring so that it remains in a H sized capsule.  @Lindeman to make it easier to fit into the capsule I used a 40.6 instead of the 39.  Not perfect but better than going up a capsule size.

@HawkHybrid. I missed this post of yours as well. Oops.
My strategy is to try and predict when gold has bottomed. Very difficult too do I know, but if I get within a few % I'll be happy. I will then start to buy bullion gold into the rise. Can't see the point of buying gold and if it goes down, not being concerned.

As for the sheild sovereigns at spot +15%. I'm working on it. I may, and it's a big may, be able to offer them on the forum at spot + 15% + £10 + postage. The advantage will be you get to choose a year and see a picture of the coins available. I'll let the forum know if the deal comes off by posting an expression of interest.

A 20 gram 9ct gold necklace with built in pendant, a large carnelian surrounded by garnets, Id estimate half the weight is stones, £25 so chuffed to bits with that. id estimate a value of well over £250.
 
Whilst the stones are big, the solid mounting on the back is substantial, But I don't think the gold weight will influence the price too much, more the style. We will probably take this to a local auction that has a monthly antiques and collectable sales and see what they estimate it at. If the moneys right it will go into the sale with online bidding from around the world, if not it will go into our joint stack. 
 
Antique centers are mostly a waste of time but once in a while something nice comes up:)
