Lovely pen Andrew

i have given 3 fountain pens as gifts in recent years, & because they are so unusual now, it is a classic gift. 
 

I hope that sublime pen gets a nice new home. It’s a beauty

Intriguing. I have 2 sovs coming next week that are outliers in my collection plan so something might work but I can’t for a few days so happy to see how this works thru on the wider group ..

Thanks so much everyone 

I was absent at the end as we are celebrating my wife’s retirement with a superb trip. I am winning an auction every weekend so I hope this continues for the rest of April  . I sold some cgt liable gold last week & this 5g bar is part of proceeds . 
I am engaged in my wife’s weekend but I will pay up & honour my commitment . Of course I will 

Clive 

23 mins early for the winning 

£291 

‘worth my weight in gold… no darling, not with spot at £1900…’ 

Morning TSF 

I started out collecting an ‘element’ collection, but thankfully got distracted by PMs & Platinum, Palladium & Rhodium. And then I found gold coins. 
I am looking to cycle back a bit & add any special Platinum or Palladium graded to my collection. 
I’d be keen to what pieces any of you have. I am trying to not be specific . 
I have the 2017 Palladium Eagle (first year of issue), & various parts of the 2007 & 8 Britannia Platinum series in grades. Though neither of the 1oz £100 in 70. I also have the 1/4 run of Britannia Pt from 2017. 
 

thanks . Look forward to hearing from you 

Clive 

Perfect @Clockpuncher 

if it comes out at 70 I’ll pay 9.1% above the surging spot ! 
Ha. I know you will keep me posted. 
thank you 

clive 

Thank you all for helping 

I now have a Proof 2021 Britannia £100 so edging my Pt collection up towards the rarefied levels of @Jaconet & @Clockpuncher

closing this thread with thanks to TSF

Thank you James @James32

whilst this is a very rare opportunity to own the rarest of the Geiger bars ( gorgeous )

i had already decided that 5000g was too big for me. I am not so much a silver collector in any form, though I do have Geiger, a Bond & a couple of Olympics as well as a simply superb Lunar II proof set ( thank you G) & a couple of proof 70 50ps that complement the Au ones. 
good luck to @kennyruss72 . I hope this behemoth goes to a good appreciative home

I've just checked back to Jan 6th 2021,and glad to say it was my silver Geigers that got you started. 😂😂

@Jimmock yes. You got me started & thank you for doing so . I have enjoyed collecting the Geiger’s & even my PM resistant wife likes the little square bars.  
 

delighted to be reminded you got me started. I still have those original pieces of course … in the silver Geiger bag ! 
clive 

If it’s me I am delighted & not a little surprised that more were not embarking on a Geiger adventure. When you see these bars in their packaging there is something v satisfying about being a collector. These are duplicates for me so will make nice Xmas presents or similar in the fullness of time. 
thanks Clive 

@Clockpuncher

these are fabulous pieces & as any Pt collector knows, they are rare. Just the mintage alone was minimal , & few have been graded. 
 

like you I am on the hunt for elusive 70 grades in both of these. Those rare quality pieces come up so rarely . 
 

good luck & hope they find a good home. I have both of these but not in a 70 😢

clive 

Definitely my thing @Upsidedown as others know. 
 

bid update 

From someone who is not really a ‘silver’ person , that vintage non-perfect finish is simply glorious. 
I am sure there will be an appreciative winner 

clive 

Thank you @Auronum

i am a proof collector & looking for the 2021 Proof. I have the run of proof 1/4 Oz but the release of the 2021 eluded me & I missed it. 
 

thanks Clive 

Rarer I guess. And traditional. But good point @ccfcpaul

thank you again 

C 

Edited by me. Missing key word. Duh!! 

Agreed. Thank you @ccfcpaul

i will edit or delete / repost 

thank you

Hi TSF
 

I am looking to fill some gaps in my sets & targets in my collection. One I have identified is the 

2014 Britannia £100 Proof Gold PF70 

I am keen to discuss a sale or also have a possible gold bullion options if that is preferred or considered by a would-be seller . But primarily ££ 

thanks . Hope someone can help fill this gap in my collection

Clive 

Hi TSF

hoping someone can help. As many of you know, I am a Platinum collector & got some of the scarcer pieces 

I am missing the 

2021 Britannia Proof Platinum £100 1oz 

it’s a gap I would like to fill . I have a collection of the Britannia 1/4 proofs & also parts of the 2007 & 2008 sets 

if anyone has one they want to consider selling I’d be interested to discuss. I also have some gold for a trade but primarily offering a cash sale. 
 

thanks Clive
