Here today. Off to the vault tomorrow. 
I wondered why the accompanying wooden box had a slab size hole instead of a capsule hole. The unnumbered COA states that the 400 mintage coins were sent to PCGS initially, hence the slab not a capsule. 389 achieved PR70.
 
 

For some reason am getting lucky with rare bars lately. Here is a lesser known Engelhard and that Patina is awesome 

So I completed the first part of my kids sovereign date run in today’s post and one different sovereign added by @ilovesilverireallydo
Why a date run, my logic if I give them as birthday presents in date runs, it will hold sentimental value, that should  🙏evoke some thought before ever considering disposal - now there’s long term inheritance planning for you 😂

2 down,7 to go. 😂😂

Not very valuable, or exciting to most, but something I like launched in a year that is very important to me. 

My lcscracks open ngc to send into pics, you can get half grade upgrades....I've heard of moving up, cacs and then $3000 coins selling at auction for $13,000 with a half grade higher and can for the sake of maybe $200 - $300 costs.

4 years ago I too started in that same junior school @ZigZag. I was buying Brilliant Uncirculated coins, then silver proofs by 2017,  silver or gold proofs by 2018. I like the larger sizes though, so my collection is small with a dash of wow factor.
If you sell ungraded (raw) coins there may be a difference of opinion on their condition between buyer and seller. A graded coin has been professionally assessed and hopefully buyer and seller abide by that grading and accept it as is.
 The info on the Alderney Una coins was available to read on the Coin Cabinet auction 27 listings in the descriptions of each coin, so I’m no expert.
 But I have learnt a lot over the years at the School of @Numistacker - his YouTube videos are an education in themselves. I hope to see you in class  👍

That coin is what £22k!? At that price probably you can get anything made especially for it.  

Definitely worth it Andrew. I believe it can sometimes be harder to crossover from NGC to PCGS and achieve the same grades, but you know the game and good luck to you.

Now it’s in hand, was the almighty fight on Sunday and subsequent shaking and stress worth it? It’s a beauty!!
I got my half sovs today and they are already on their way for crossover...fingers crossed!

Also from the CC auction on Sunday this 2016 James Butler Half Sovereign. Surprisingly this, I believe was only the third one at 70 auctioned this year so not as common as you might think. 
This now proudly joins the famous five to become the special six.....



 
 

My first success bidding on the @TheCoinCabinet auction this weekend. I got all 3 coins I was after within my max bids. Really pleased with all 3 when they arrived this morning 

Thank you so much to @terakris for parting with the Reverse Proof Libertad. 

I could never tire of the beauty of the Winged Goddess of Victory.  
She looks fabulous sat next to the two other Reverse Proofs, and better still with the wider México 1/2 Onza family. 
 

 

Another Spanish silver 2 reales of Ferdinand VII - this one with an unrecorded overdate 2/0 and the only example I have seen 
I seem to finding lots of new varieties at the moment - the question is will NGC slab it as an overdate??? it will no doubt get a details grade due to the dig behind the bust but as the only example so far who cares!
