My first PAMP silver bar - 10oz of beautiful shiny courtesy of @StackSellRepeat

A 2002 half shield at 3% over spot, happy with that plus some ingots for my collection and bought half a kilo of 50% silver which included two semi mini coins, a 20 escudo and a Bermuda crown.

Thanks to @StackSellRepeat she is a beauty ❤

Atkinsons pre-owned mixed years Austrian Philharmonic 1oz silver, at £14.65 each including p&p has to be some of the cheapest silver I ever bought.

What could it be in the boxes?

Two and a half ‘special’ year Half Sovereigns- Queen’s Golden Jubilee 2002, The 2016 Butler Queen’s 90th Birthday portrait and the ‘half special’ 2018 with privy mark that commemorates the 65th Anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.


And cheers @StackSellRepeat For the PAMP 

Anyone missed this beauty first time around, there’s more here:

Thanks awfully to @fiveshotdonand @silversky for awesome coins!

Two golds from @arshimo2012. Thanks bud (My OCD isn't happy with you giving me 4194 and 4196 serial numbers though 😛)
 

Hmm. But dark in this car park. Try it again with the flash...

'ats better! 
 

Received my Roosevelt Dimes thanks @MikeSol

A couple of £2 silver proofs.

A little festive gift to myself. Not strictly PMs, but paid for with proceeds from selling something on the forum:

Hopefully this little reference will help going forward and compliment Marsh’s The Gold Sovereign.

Received over the weekend but;
2 Aztec rounds courtasy of @h103efa


And a random eBay win was a 1/4 platinum 2017 Britannia. Not the best design by far but actually looks ok when its small haha. Looks perfect so will probably send for grading and then sell it.

A good day. Bought a loose double sovereign 2005 proof at an auction before the summer for £490 landed. Looked like this (cf pic from the auction website). Sent it in for grading after a bit of TLC at home, plus conservation at NGC and just came back 3 months later at PF70 Ultra Cameo...a perfect coin (£490 plus £65 grading fees). Only 10 PF70UC or DC graded in total thus far at NGC and PCGS respectively. Well worth the punt on grading from effectively a bullion coin buy plus a bit. A rarity. Not a massive win in the great scale of life but a nice result either way and a good chunk of bullionesque level British Sovereign gold
A fun day 
 


She is lookiing better the more ale I drink but all the birds always do  Joking aside, this is the first proof coin  I have of this year and to see it in PF 70 is engaging.

I have sent off the prize for @SilverSnake today despite his prize has yet been drawn. I want him to get it before Xmas.  So in GOOD faith I have done this. 
I know I am trusting him. @Bullionbilly 

Didnt they like this bloke
