Today I Received.....

[Guest]

Couple of new arrivals today.

[Kman]

Domed cricket coin came today from EMK, very quick, 3 days, extremely well packaged, probably too well lol was a pain to open

 

 

[Cully]

Today I received my 2013 Libertads.

Thanks Morezone.

[sovereignsteve]

Today I received my first gold sovereign.

Very pleased with it, now I just want more of them!!!

Fight it now. Don't let the obsession get you, you'll be a slave for life!

[HelpingHands]

Libs from Mr.Zone.

 

5x 2014 Ellies, 1/10th goat and 1/10th 2015 panda from elsewhere.

Oh, and some water purification tablets. Since I've spent my water bill money on coins I may have to see what I can drain out of the radiators.

My proof set of Libertads from Morezone, and when I pick up the second set I ordered from the sorting office I think I will make a youtube video. Originally I bought one set, then ordered a second so I could have a set for each my personal collection and my joint collection with the other half..But it has since dawned on me that both sides of Libertads are equally awesome and It will be nice to have two sets - one for each side.

Very good point. I think I need to apply that to all my purchases from now on.

[watchesandwhisky]

Could get pricey! lol, But actually not a bad thing really as could always trade or sell one later and if the set does well then you have two:)

Received my libertads from morezone today as well but my mrs won't let me see them as she paid for them for my birthday which isn't for another couple of weeks. I'm like a kid , I want them NOW!

Talking of Gold Libertads - here is the new 2015 1 oz bullion coin; picked up in the US this week. Finally I can maybe change my picture?!

[Lindeman]

And also got this week a bunćh of the 1 oz Kookaburra bullion coins that I have been rounding up from various US sellers. Very happy with the variety! Plenty more to post up when they arrive. Love to see the Matt burnished finish on the 2006-2008 coins.

A complete flock of kooks must be something else in the flesh.

Are we talking about 28 nice 1oz silver coins or a load of feathery, noisy things in the Aussie outback?

Actually I have only seen the latter in the flesh!!! They are pretty spectacular - used to see them on fences overlooking the pool in Queensland, but that is a topic for another thread. Not yet got the full set of the silver version - still working on it!

My first 10 RM lunar horse arrived today another 20 on the way

[sovereignsteve]

WTF you don't do things by halves do you!? From Glenn?

I just seen good opportunity. It's a bit of gamble.

[sovereignsteve]

Well there's no point anyone else trying to sell some anytime soon!

[morezone]

I was going to grab a few myself but it completely slipped my mind. By the time I remembered, they'd imposed a limit nf purchase qty.

[watchesandwhisky]

Second 3 coin Libertad set from morezone (thanks mate!), will be making a new video today:)

Picked mine up this morning, although a few less than you!

[DrDime]

Picked up 4 coins from the WWF 1974 wildlife series. For 50p over spot, can't go wrong

[Cointreau]

@DrDime They look to be in generally good condition. Were they minted in 74?

Was there much else at the fair? Would have gone but I on holiday.

[DrDime]

Yes I believe they were minted in 1974. All minted by the royal mint with permission from the respective governments. I think there were 12 in total that year and some the next year. They are pretty much perfect and look brand new except for the rhino which has slight fingerprints (it's my favourite). They go for a lot more than I paid on eBay.

There were a few stalls there from the embankment fair as it was off this week. It was mostly expensive old stuff - a lot of Roman etc and £1k - £3k sovereigns etc, but there was stuff here and there I picked up a 2008 Brit and a 1983 proof pound coin at a reasonable price too.
