I think it's a pretty safe bet that when labour get elected later this year, CGT will drop to zero.

Maybe. But at least the incumbent incompetence will be gone!

All depends on how thick your reading glasses are! if they're the proverbial "coke bottle bottoms", I've got some PF70's to sell you  

They're not quite Donald Pleasence in the Great Escape! I'll take your PF70s, but I'll be paying PF68 money!

When looking at it with bare eyes it's beautiful, that's enough for me. I'm not going to go looking for problems with a loup, let's face it no coin is perfect. 

If a coins looks good with my reading glasses on then it's good enough for me... 👓

Big thanks to @ST1986 for this double.

A complete bargain when compared to a PF70 single sovereign.

Lesson for the day... Coin collectors are weird 😂

I bet that lovely coin is perfect. If you cracked it out and regraded it I bet 50/50 chance of coming back a 70. I genuinely don't get it. Never will. Coins not cases!😂

Well the ingot posted for sale here isn't listed on https://allengelhard.com/ - the pendant is very similar but it is not the same - this isn't an ingot which had the loop removed - the edge of the ingot is complete whereas it isn't in the pendant version.

No idea how many of these there are - there could be a lot more as i expect the pendant would be unusual but there again if the bar were commoner you might expect it to be listed. Either way i missed this one. I had to take a rental car back and was fussing about that so i wasn't paying attention and missed by a few minutes. Having sad that the bar would have just gone in a box and then into my coffin or someone else would have got it on my demise and sold it for crack cocaine or something similar perhaps.

 As you can see in the pic above, the loop was on a strip that was presumably folded around the rim of the bar - so easily removable with no damage. I'm 99.9% sure it's the same bar.

I'm not an expert, but his from the allengelhard site shows what is is. Interesting that it was originally a pendant. I'd imagine could easily fetch £50-£80.

I'll take if still available.

Mate they are beautiful long haired show lines I imported 2 of them from syberia and one was bought in uk and other 2 Poland they are absolute stunners love them with my hole heart so intelligent and loyal 

I wouldn't own any other type of dog. I don't have a dog now, but grew up with German Shepherds, like you say, intelligent and loyal. And pretty tasty when they need to be.

Many years ago my mum was walking our dog, who was a fair sized unit, in a local park. This was back in the day when you let your dog off the lead, because it was trained properly. Anyway some c@nt tried to grab my mum, thinking she was alone in the park. The dog spied this pretty sharpish and set about mauling the c@nt.

My mum got home and phoned the police (pre mobile times!). C@nt was duly arrested 2 hours later in A&E having his arm sewn back together!

Same dog also did similar after a nutter tried to kick our front door in. My mum heard the commotion and let the dog out the back door. Problem solved.

I'd take a German Shepherd over any alarm or safe.

Great price.

Today I received a curiosity purchase… 5 of these goldbacks, one from each issuing state. Had seen a few things about these so thought it’d be fun to grab some, and they’re really quite beautiful ☺️

These are nice, absolute insanity premium-wise, but still nice. I bought a set months ago and planned to frame them, haven't got round to it yet. Maybe one day!

The bars are too cheap imo.

I like a Brit as much as the next man, but not for £500+. That is a gap I would happily accept in my date run.

At some point, maybe next week, maybe in 10 years, these will appear on the market by the bucket-load.

£171 under spot and you want free postage at £27.75 for full insurance? I met your type before, usually selling the 'Big issue ' magazine, then jumping into a 50k sports car after shift.

 

Yup. I'm the guy parked next to you, except my Lambo is shinier and faster than yours!

Should I buy silver then ? 🤔

Yup. Sell all that yellow muck you have and trade up to a pallet of silver...

We could all come round your house and take selfies with it!😀

Received this directly from the mint. There are "some" spots on the coin and a scratch on the capsule, but if well-trained professionals in the RM's QC department see them acceptable, who am I to say opposite?

 

Thats a shocker. I sent mine back a few weeks ago, it didn't have any milk spots, but it hardly had any frosting either!!! Still waiting for my replacement. If wasn't an absolute belter of a coin I would just have asked for a refund. Hope we get decent replacements...

Claw hammers can make a big difference ye know…..

Kinda shows the whimsical subjectivity of grading I suppose...

Nice coin though, inside or outside the slab.

World silver bullion selection, not sure why I did this? 🤣

Because it's great! I'm doing similar for my kids birth years.

Received my beautiful new addition to the Nautical series, the new 2023, courtesy of Silver Trader.

Could not agree more with @AgD absolutely stunning series. Although I've still not plucked up the courage to take them out of their OMP!

Wish the 2017 packaging didn't have that orange peel textured finish to it though.

Hmmmm still can't pick my favourite one.....maybe the Mayflower or perhaps the USS Constitution 🤔

Lovely series of coins, and couldn't agree more about the OMP, I like them that way too!

I'll take a white lion please!

Today I received my first ever Coins. I now got the bug for coins . I am now  looking for my next purchase. Thanks you @theman73

Great start, welcome to the journey, have fun!

Is it the 2oz bullion?

Yes.

As above, thought I had one, but I don't - turns out I don't have the full set after all, and that quite frankly will not do. So if anyone has a nice clean one for sale give me a shout.

TIA.
