Haven't been buying much of late, but got a couple more bits for the collection. Engelhard Eagle bar and 1924 Peace

A nice crispy fresh 35 crown.

Received this silver (.986) beauty today. Edge is mangled which is a shame because it should have some writing on there. Seems very odd considering that the faces look really decent condition!

JM Liberty bar, ~107k mintage, 1982. I could not resist OMP and certificate 😍

Did it make sense to buy the Australian Lunar Tiger in the UK while, on a budget, there are cheaper coins? NO
Did I buy it anyway because it is stunningly beautiful? YES

I think I paid about £115 for a 1/2oz round. I get it. 

Its a personal decision. Personally, I have tailed off my buying of silver because of the premiums, but persist with my Morgan collection.
People on the forum have vaious sizes of stack.... from nothing to many thousands of ounces. Your personal circumstances will dictate what you need to know.

Not mine sadly - never seen anything like this before. Featured in the ALL ENGELHARD Newsletter.
"The First and to-date Only TOP LOGO set of very early Engelhard ingots, and ALL SEQUENTIAL serial numbers! The set includes a 3oz s/n 03002, 4oz 03003, 5oz 03004, 7oz 03005, and 10oz 03006. WOW! And the BOX is Beautiful, and all intact and original! AND we’re more than curious why this US set was presented in an ENGELHARD INDUSTRIES of CANADA LTD. Box!? DOUBLE WOW…."

Why do folk not state the obvious?  There's far to much stuff offered here. Endless bumps and flipped gear offer. Stuff always sold quick be good person to person, stacker to stacker now it's a good amount of amateur dealers hoovering up fairly honestly priced stuff and then offered back to forum. Sadly it's not once it was here. Why do I want to waste an hour trawling through  and using my spare time through, knowing fine we'll there's not much of anything at good value/what I couldn't get from a ln established dealer.
Sorry rant over

The chemist should be able to sort you out with some cream for that

A few lumps for the stack - thanks to @arshimo2012 and @Spence098

And my 3rd purchase this week which complements my earlier purchase nicely was one I’ve wanted for a while. Picked it up in the @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Shout out to @Clockpuncher and @Elements for alerting me to its availability. Definitely my new favourite coin in my collection and quite possibly the best sovereign ever. I think its only right I get the 2SOV to keep them company no?
