Pipers

I won't buy from Bullion by Post after my recent postal experience with them. The price they are charging for the Peso 20 is ridiculous.    

I have 2 daughters also. I can definitely relate! I heard some grief when I bought the older one a car, even though the younger one wasn't old enough to drive yet lol

In God we trust, but don't slab it mate the rim is damaged above the F. I like the coin and think the slight mark on a 100 plus year old coin is fine but the slab companies take a dim view.  IMO Its a nice coin! I like the Libertads too. 

Pootled along to the auction office and picked up the 1982/3 Libertad Proof Set. The chaps there were very friendly and even gave me a high quality loupe as a present
 
There is a small red dot on the lady but having used the loupe, I can say that it is on the plastic covering outside and not on the coin. Also, because the plastic covering is quite thin and "fluid", the light shines at varying degrees and, well, anyway, that is my excuse I was pleased to see the circular gold OM still clinging to the top of the box lid. that was a real bonus and all the coins are in original nick without having been removed from the one piece plastic casing that sits over the velvet underlay (with the correct sized indentures if you wish to break the plastic casing and lay them out in their respective slots.

Yup - I saw that chunk out of the rim, and this coin certainly has some stories to tell, at least that's what it think when I see a coin from 1909. I bought it in a very cool shop called Oxbridge Coins (Van Ness and Market, for anyone visiting San Fran) and I can tell you I don't care what the slabbers say! I have never slabbed anything, apart from paths in my garden  and I am not oing to start now! Another thing (now that I am on the topic!) is that you lose the beauty of the rim details - of which there are plenty on this coin. Fascinating history around Roosevelt and St Gaudens as well - but that is well off topic!! Glad you liked it Pipers. 

Today I received a bullion grade 1979 Krugerrand and it was bullion grade too.  It has a big scratch and damage to the rim in 2 places it also has small scratches in various places around the coin.  I bought it as bullion so there we have it, I will not send it back to HGM as I got what I paid for.
I also received another Pamp 2.5g pendant from UKBullion, this was bought because I bought one in Madstacks auction the other week for my youngest daughter and as anyone of you who knows if you have more than one daughter what one gets the other has to have, to keep the peace.

I have a few, my favorite is the  1kg Noahs ark 2012 I have, please don't ask what I paid for it from Geiger it makes me cry.

Well it looks like I missed the silver, so I'm back buying silver again.

Don't want to follow the semi-numi path as before, so concentrating on my £/oz average very carefully, as I have done with my gold (12oz at £780 average). No circulated allowed though.

So today I bought a 1kg 2015 kook and a 1kg 2016 lunar S2 monkey, with four 1oz Noah's to make the numbers work.

Added to the two 10oz coins I bought last week, I have 85oz of silver at a sub-£12 average.

Aiming to keep the average under £13 if possible.

Never had a kilo coin before, so quite excited to get them in hand.

Or anything that can't run away

Today I bought a 1/4oz gold American Eagle from Atkinsons. My first USA coin.

 Slabbed an S1, that is criminal. 

Also ordered a couple of 1/10 oz gold maples from Coininvest and Livia combined the postage which i thought was pretty good.

Royal Australian Mint's Bullion Lunar Gold coins.  They're actually distributed by PAMP which I find odd and while doing research, I found that PAMP also distribute the Canadian Mint's 5 Blessings Bullion Gold coin too (no wonder they're so far to locate).
Took a pic and then went to rehouse them and noticed that the obverse had a nice design.  More interesting that seeing just the queens head anyway.

Silver monkey PP 2 oz, 1/2 oz and 5 oz monkey  Bu.

a single 1982 bu unc silver Libertad for 13 pounds 39 pennies.

I would love some silver bars but cant bring myself to pay the taxes. 

Today I received my $5 Liberty head from HGM and it is not a modern coin but a coronet head 1842

If we assume the Fed announcement tomorrow is a 'not yet' on interest rates what will we see in pms?
 
A spike up then a drop back as the talk moves to a possible (read impossible) December rate move?
