Fair. Two of these 1 kilo bars popped up a couple of hours ago as well, £14.65 per oz. Gone now, some greedy bugger bought them too 🙈

Perhaps this will help you decide which you prefer between 1/4 oz and Sovs. Probably not though 😄

Personally if premium is equal then I prefer 1/4 oz coins. However usually 1/4 oz trade at a higher premium than sovereigns, and I don't think it's worth paying a higher premium for what are ultimately bullion coins. 

Lol did you get them too

Bairds is legit, lots of people use them from TSF and I've personally used them recently with no issues. 
To be honest they live in capsules out of the house 95% of the time, but that doesn't stop me enjoying a bit of treasure when it's in my hands 😂

All I know is this guy was seen leaving the area shortly after the bars disappeared 😆

There was two of them available, some greedy bugger took them both 😄
I assume given the unusual nature of the bars it's probably not going to be an enduring listing on the website, which is my guess as to why the stock alert isn't available. 

No idea but I have a new item on the bucket list 😍

So today I received my recent order. The first ever purchase of silver to start my stacking adventure. Ordered this on Tuesday and got it today so pretty please with that. Just thought I would share them.

Finally!

This arrived today that I won in an auction, a 1941 dated Netherlands East Indies 1/10 Gulden silver coin, until the Netherlands were overrun by the Nazi's in WW2 their coins were minted in house, during the war various mints in the USA made them for them, this coin was made by the Philadelphia mint and was made from .720 silver , 41 million were made that year by them and 58 million by the San Francisco mint that year alone, this is a tiny coin as seen next to the modern 5p. 
Its a shame that the photo's do not show the lustre on both these coins, what little shows in pictures is just a bright streak that goes across them.


 
 
 
This is a fairly easy to find coin but most I see seem to be well circulated condition, this is a 1938 Dated Swedish 25 Ore silver coin, made from .600 silver, this coin was made by three different mints all having their own designs on the coins, two were made of silver the other was nickel and the dates of some overlap so its worth checking before buying to make sure you get the one you want, this coin of this design had a very long life without change, being made on and off yearly from 1910 to 1941,  3.6 million being minted in 1938 by this mint.
 


 
 
 
And finally a size comparison with a modern tiny UK 5p
 

 

Thanks @Madstacks lovely couple bits 😁

Hi All.         I have just read your email about your history at 79yrs my memory is just about alright but when i made my first purchase of you i think you traded as R & l Coins ? is this correct and what year did you change the trading title. I believe i paid £3 something for a full sovereign prices a bit different now they have unfortunately gone up just like my age but that's life."

Thanks Adrian, @1stsovereign for the Cuba Diez Pesos.  
And a Silver México Chihuahua bought from a Mexican eBay seller.  A huge thank you to @CadmiumGreen for acquiring this beautiful coin on my behalf as the seller didn’t ship to the Uk.  

Here's most of my gold bullion stack.  Remainder plus silver and platinum to follow!
 
 

My first post on TSF - Hello all. Great  site, been reading for a while, thought I might as well take the plunge... my stack is below. It's quite eclectic, I dont really have a plan - I just buy what I like/can afford. Been collecting on and off since 2015 when I bought the sov for £174! Intend to up the pace a little now. Looking forward to getting to know you on the forum.
 

Most of these have already appeared above.
Lions and Unicorns, Britannias, 1 ouncers.  One piece of platinum still (hopefully) incoming - I'm awaiting an exchange of the original coin I bought almost a month ago.
