Hallo liebe Silberfreunde,
In all den Jahren des Sammelns fragt man sich, wo man all die Münzen hinlegt.
Als Alternative habe ich mich für stabile Schuhkartons und andere entschieden
Kartons, groß und klein, was denkst du?
Euch allen einen schönen Sonntag. Grüße von Max.

Only been stacking a few months so not got much of a stack yet. Gonna stack gold now and have a sovereign coming in the post. 

my stack to date...... it is after all... 'Treasure Look at Sunday'

Added a sov a 10oz britania bar and a byb 2.3oz since I took this pic need to focus harder in 2020

Is that a bump right side of the coin outer ring above the L? And look round the lip on the edge of the coin as I tend to find if their dinged that's most likely asto where

I’ve been watching the chat for the past week on prices ect, I have noticed that the flippers are all undercutting each other on eBay which is good for us collectors, more to buy and send for grading. When graded 70s get back the prices will rise, I’m looking forward to January for my 2oz gold plain edge to be delivered.   

@PhilB @westminstrel The gold Gothic's finish is nothing like I have seen before, that's why I put next to a 2022 proof sovereign that we all know and a 24ct 1oz bullion.
I do not know how the RM has achieved this finish, something I will try and find out over the next few weeks.  It could be the result of the high relief frosting, this coin has no way been made in the modern way, the digital, laser cut low relief dies thats common place now, the second I opened the box the colour difference was very noticeable.  
@PhilB I do very much agree with you about the colour of modern sovereigns and the older sovereigns with more silver and less copper in the alloy are dramatically more attractive.  Not just the older sovereign there are some low cost gems to be had, the Gillick Sovereign (QE2 first portrait) Are made with a fraction of silver in the alloy some tested by XRF to have only 1 part per 1000 but this give the coin a lovely hue.  I'lll send you some pictures if you are interested.  
Cheers Dave 
 
 
 

Know the feeling ....When I put the mountain bike on the back of the car it doubles the price of my car!

😰😳😠 F.. ing capsule is open seriously wtf

Think it's just luck of the draw as to one or 2 it's a screw up their end regardless 

No hate to anyone receiving two of the 2oz coins, but seeing people receiving two makes me wish i had added both the single and continuity set to my basket! 😅
My one hasn’t been dispatched yet, but hey I got the 2022 Sov & 3 coin set two days after ordering, so can’t complain. 

Also pleased with today's other deliveries (even if one of them should have arrived a week ago)
I wasn't expecting the 2005 Sovereigns to be carded BUNCs, so that's a nice bonus!

Same. Coin looks ok thankfully. The lid was only partially on with coin not sitting flush. They’re not very good caps imo. Fiddly and annoying to try to open/close

😰😳😠 F.. ing capsule is open seriously wtf

A quick pic of the 5oz Gold Gothic......The colour is fantastic is has an aged patina to it.  I'll stick some more pictures up on to day I received once I dig out my better camera.  
I knew this was going to be special but Wow !

Mine has just arrived and thankfully, everything looks good.

New to this..
 
When the portrait version comes out...  How rare is it?
I mean - it has two queens on it - Elisabeth on one side - Victoria the other..
 
Is this unique? - are there many coins in the last few centuries like this?
 
The two longest reigning female monarchs, on one coin - Collectible Coin Heaven - or just a curiosity
(when the Queen is no longer with us, it won't happen again either) 

anyone else still in the Gothic queue?

First sovereign to the collection. Not bad for an Atkinson's mix date sov 
 

6x 2oz baby kookaburra and a 2008 proof sovereign courtesy of @arshimo2012thanks.

I’ve several 1911 proofs off at ngc currently all with the lovely blue hues. Obviously if you send anything for grading they’re not going to tone any further once slabbed. I also have a gorgeous complete set arriving hopefully tomorrow, here is the florin from the set.

Last arrive
 
 

After queued at 3000 by 8:55 on launch day of Gothic Crown, I am now trying to heal my pain by looking at the Godless Florin.
