2 full Charlie's, one ½ Ed
Bought before the dip 😃

FINALLY got my hands on the final piece to my Ghana Kwame Nkrumah coin collection. This 1965 gold £2 OAU Summit coin in its original case popped up on eBay last week. I have one graded top pop but only seen 1 other example in its original case online which was sold in an auction years ago. I suspect a lot of these have been melted down so this is a great find. Doubt anyone in the world has all of these in one collection so something to be proud of. @DuncanWylieWilson it took a while but I’ve finally made it to the promised land! 😂

Can't actually see anything wrong with this coin, I'd be interested to know why it deserved a 68, feel bad to break it out but got it for a good price 👍 

Hi guys, I've been a bit quiet recently, but have been logging on and following the gold monitoring thread trying to keep up, not that I understand  much of it, but love the banter.
Took a nervous punt on three halves at the end of March at 1770, and then held my breath and pulled the trigger on three more at 1860 last week. Was excited yesterday, but still ok, even with the drop. 
Regards all

It might not be Christmas but it's still a selection box woo hoo!
We have a delectable choice of two silver ounce Charlies, a pretty little half sovereign to add some sparkle, and an individually wrapped one gram bar of golden pleasure. And why not, It might only be a gram but it's still a gram. And what do grams make? Yup, ounces. Besides, state of gold at the moment I can't afford anything else lo-lol. Happy gold and silver day - yayyyyyy!!!!

Bought pre dip and mid dip demolition.

Very nice Coronation Sov to add to my tiny stack. Thanks very much to @Auronum. 
Will wait for the mythical dip before the next one. 

Buy in the dip😮🤔early delivery 😁

2024 Six Decades of 007 - The 1990s - 1/4oz gold and 2oz Silver Proof
The replacements arrived, and are in pretty good condition.  Love the boat chase up the Thames; one of my favourite Bond scenes.  A good choice for the 90's.  What do they pick for the 2000's?

Walking past my local H&T Pawnbrokers and saw this 1981 1oz Gold Krugerrand priced for £1775. Checked my phone and spot is at £1920. I walked in and asked the guy if that was the price?
He said "yes £1775, sorry but I can't move on that price" 🤩🤑😂

A few back from grading.

Big thanks to @9x883 for the 50p
@kneehow2018 for the baby krugs 
@bigben for the baby brit
 

The joy when I thought I got away with it. But alas no, three weeks later...

A cheeky half for the weekend.

Received today from @JamesH
I am finding because the premiums are literally zero on most coins atm and hugely shrunk on the rest, I can still buy shields at a very similar price I was paying in January
 

I like to collect small pieces of jewellery made from silver coins.
I saw this silver Japanese Yen made into a small buckle in town this afternoon. I also picked up the 1584 silver sixpence.
Both for £34.

It’s only 1oz but that will do for now 😊
 
 

Thanks to @Brit2023 a nice pair of small Britannias. I think you should be able to see them without a magnifying glass😮🤔🤔

1/4 Brit from @James32 and an 1845 Sov from @SamThomasldn Thanks guys 👍🏻

Weird one but it's still silver so hopefully in scope! I like cut half pennies because they are a conversation starter. This one is from ****.
Lol... apparently the censors assume the Danish King of England's name is an anagram of some other word...
