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!

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.

Thanks everyone, it's been a good laugh. 

It's 23.01 on my phone, we are done.

Thanks @stackerp5.

Half an hour to go...

£52 winning so far, that's £20ish under spot ladies and gents...

My bid wasn't in totally accord with the auctioneer's rules?😁

 

Your bid was good sir.
