Today I Received.....

[HawkHybrid]

I would be uncomfortable calling the lion one

a bag mark. it's quite thick and not sharp, also

it's on a non raised area so more akin to a

scrape than a knock.

I agree with ss, very good find on the obverse,

but less so on the reverse.

Yeah, I kinda agree with you but it's on the hatched area, doesn't take much to flatten those ridges, could conceivably be done by another coin getting trapped against it by the rest of the bag. Difficult one.

Does this help to decide?

[HawkHybrid]

I think the streak marks within favour a scrape?

Oh. I like the look of that!

What sort of price would something like that cost? @SilverStan et all.

[sovereignsteve]

I think you could do one yourself, I remember seeing  youtube vids on how to do it.

Electronics and telecommunications was my thing but don't need to do such dangerous activities now!

Two gold arrivals so I guess I am still buying in a limited way.

Firstly a very disappointing shield sovereign from HGM my first shield from them and being honest they should not sell coins like this with no warning...








Second is a beautiful 2010 1/10th proof Britannia one of my missing years for my registry set.



Overall mintage on the COA 3,000 compared to 295 for the 2016!!! Both years designs by same designer.

That's a very worn shield for a 69, probably the worst I've ever seen for such a recent coin.

[Roy]

I have to agree 

I'm usually HGM's biggest fan but sadly this shouldn't warrant a 15% premium. (I'm assuming here)

I trust they will do the right thing.

It's bullion what do you expect?

It's not really bullion if they charge 400% extra premium ... is it?

Little silver YuanBao. Just 20g but is hollow so much bigger than if it were a solid piece. Just a novelty item really.

[morezone]

Justed picked up some Fun Show pandas from Parcel Force. Has a charge but still waiting on the letter but I'm in the area so all is good.  Wonder if this letter will turn up as the last one still hasn't.

 

[Quicksilver]

A recent pick-up just over 5oz

Is that Ronda Rousey? ??

[motorbikez]

@morezone I'm surprised they actually delivered the coins without payment,I'd guess they've messed up (the PO that is) & you'll hear nothing I got a package last year delivered by parcel force with charges all over it from Oz & I heard nothing.

Today I received this lovely medal
