Off out soon to see what else I can buy.

Yes I do mean Perth mint.

Cheers

Today I bought......

I could not resist the price crash sooooooo.

I ordered from STG. £13.65 average £/oz.

20 2015 Kookaburras.

20 2014 Britannia With Horse Privy.

20 2015 Koalas.

10 2014 Libertads.

And a 10 oz UK Lunar Horse, BUT this is for the Dutch shift manager in Qatar for his new born son.

EDIT: And a 10 oz Perth Mint Horse, BUT this is for the Dutch shift manager in Qatar for his new born son.

I will not buy any 1kg coins, 10oz is big enough.

Today I received........

The UK Sheep, 2014 Libertads, and the UK Lunar Horses.

I must admit they are absolutely brilliant coins very pleased.

The top ones are ever so slightly marked, but other than that they are pristine for a bullion coin,wow.

The Proofs must be awesome!!!

Wrong topic I have not bought anything.

A combination of being to tired and excited.

I didn't even get a capsule with this just a plastic flip, I don't mind them selling this coin but they should at least make it clear what we're buying, the 2002 sovereign comes at a premium as it is, how is anyone going to sell it on for anything more than it's gold value.

 

rule one, never take your customers for granted, it's a shame because I think most of us consider atkinson's as one of our most trusted dealers.  

Granted and Trusted indeed, but it does not take much to lose a few good customers, maybe thats what they are trying to do.

They would appear to be ding a good job then.

Yes the coin is atrocious.

@MH

They also carry a bit of a premium.

No, But my laptop is set UK time and is correct!!

Not to worry.

When I check back through the other messages they all show around 21:00 but my laptop time is 20:35, and the time in Qatar now is 23:35.

So now I am not sure how that is the case unless it is the server that time stamps the messages.

It's a good price Craig, my max was one bid shy of yours but I already have some 2oz horses so was only looking for a steal.

I'm watching some other stuff so kept my bids low.

Hey DB have you not reset your clock yet!! your time says 21:07!!

What dates do you need now Keith, I'm going to have a look in my local coin shop tomorrow.

Much appreciated MB.

Of course it is one of the most expensive ones 1895, I can get one but as I say they are quite expensive. But have a look and see what they have.

i think three are a couple more but I need to go through all the coins when I get home and update my list. So not too sure what the other dates are.

Keith

Today again.....

An 1894 (S) Morgan Dollar.

Today....

Two Morgan dollars.

A 1878 (S), and a 1892.

Nearly a full date run now from 1878-1904.

1/10 gold proof 2003 Britannia, 25g of gold now so edging towards my first ounce

Keep going MH.

Just ever ever so slightly below 16ozs. (15.986).

Yes they are a different design from the normal George and the Dragon.

No me neither but they did that in the old days!!

Now I have two.

A 2012 Full sovereign....

Like the Goat but 1/10 oz is just too small for me.

i bought a 1/10 oz Gold ASE in Florida and I have bought no more. Enough said.

This might be of interest to some people here.

Same as mine matey. The only one I don't like is the Philharmonic.

I am not keen on these yet they are one of the cheaper bullion coins to stack.

So no logic applied here then.

Keep it up Craig.

OK, 25 coins per tube! Doh! So that is 5 coins will have a milk spot when you open the tube in December. If I am wrong I will donate €10 to charity.

 

Anyone else want to play? Go on, have a punt. Christmas spirit and all that lol!

 

[Perhaps we should start a new thread for this?]

A new thread will be a good idea.

I will video it and post on here so people can see it as I cut, unwrap, and reveal.

EDIT: I do not get back to the UK until December 11th 2014.

Ooohh!! We could open a book on it. Proceeds to charity. How many coins will have a milk spot? Closest to guess gets half the pot, the other half goes to charity.

 

20 coins in a tube. I reckon 20%. 4 coins.

Its full there are 25 coins in it, actually I may have even squeezed an extra one or two there.

I'd be willing to bet at least one coin has milk spots! In fact I'd be willing to bet more than two coins have milk spots.

In that case there will be a December ceremonial opening of the sealed Maples.
