Bullionaire

Some nice looking 2oz QB's
Coulnd't find a scratch or dent.
 

 
 

The seemingly elusive 1/4 oz proof gold Noble.

This one was just a uk offer open to anyone I believe. Just keep watching on ebay or on here for them to appear. Sometimes they only apply to certain stores on ebay,  sometimes they apply to everything. 
 
They've had a couple of good ones in the last month or so

My under-spot sovereign from the ebay 15% offer. Only got it today, so it took a few days longer than other's on here to arrive. It's a 1981 in decent nick. Hardly any signs of wear or handling.
 
No natural light here at the minute so sorry for the dark pic!

I got theses today and see the 1979 has a crack in the date i payed as a bullion pick coin, and got this young head looks ex mount the front,But the back didn’t seem to have the circle.

And it’s also been a great week for me too! Don’t think I’ve ever had this much in the same week before ?
Thanks to @silversurf for the private deal on the sov, and @shawy2510 for the heads up on the eBay offer ?
 

Here is my meager stack of SAO and CML bars, now sold exclusively as ALBION by Silvertrader, guarded by a 1925 Walther Model 8 pistol .25 acp, this was the pistol of choice of the notorious Dr Joesph Goebbels and was alledgedly used by him to end his and his wifes life at the end of WW2, the gun was a pre-cursor of the famous PP and PPK models and had several new for the time features that would be used in all later Walthers.
 

This is for @caloundracats , this also arrived today, the wife bought me as a present to read while I am incapacitated, I am really pleased with it, to say its this years, A4 sized, 220 pages and full of photographs and all this for only £7 from Amazon ( think its worth more than double this) , infact it says in the back 'published by Amazon' which I wasnt aware they did, it shows many coins and their mintage if known some older ones too, he goes into all aspects of collecting and stacking, he briefly covers silver bars but this is more coin orientated, he talks about all the naughtys that JP Morgan have done and others names connected with silver.
It might not be for the more advanced collecter/stackers out there, but is superb reading for the new to experienced stackers like me.
Wonder if the author is on this forum I really hope he writes more books, one on silver bars would be great.
Pictured below is one of the first ever automatic pistols designed and made, the Belgian FN Browning model 1900, in .32 ACP / 7.65mm, this gun the 1st pattern and made in 1906 (later guns just had FN on the grips).
Another one of John Brownings designs it was his first ever automatic pistol that he designed and sold to Fabrique National, he also designed the .32 ACP cartridge to go with this gun and this was the first to use it.
The gun had some quite unique features for its time and still today, despite being a large gun the ammo capacity is only 7 rounds, this is due to the recoil spring being on top of the barrel instead of below or around the barrel itself, also worthy of note is the sights, unless the gun is cocked and ready to fire a small bar pops up blocking your ability to aim, this can also be felt in the dark as an indication of whether or not your gun was ready to fire.
The gun was used by many countrys by their police and later by the military as trench sweepers during WW1, females were catered for again, being able to defend themselves when travelling the wild areas of the world like Africa and Australia was important, there was two grades of purse holsters available, one was sequinned and the other (shown here) which I think was made of nubuck.
A woman called Fanny Kaplin used one of these guns to try and assasinate Lenin, one of the bullets remained lodged in his body and it wasnt possible to remove it and it was said that this was what made him increasingly ill until his death.
The gun was produced from 1900 - 1911.
 

 


 

 

 

 

Especially as they must have got a lot more orders yesterday than normal. 
Sadly I ordered mine to work so won't get it till Monday!

Received a diverse little bit of gold over the past couple of days...Two 1950 Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea (AU/BU).


And a beautiful 2017 Mexico 1/2 oz Proof Gold Libertad with limited mintage of 700. Photos taken from two vantages to show off details.

I haven't really bought anything since splashing out on the Star Wars statuettes back in April but after a few days of contemplation I decided to pickup the Cola coins in 1oz silver and 12g gold.  They don't look as good as the 6g coloured one but they're still nice.  The premium is a bit of a killer on them though
