Today I Received.....

[Guest]

Picked up this ultra rare 2005 Libertad proof set in a trade. 2005 had 3200 1oz proofs which was a low low mintage and these sets in the mint packaging are so unusual they are basically invisible to google ))

S2 1oz proof tiger I received on Monday,just rabbit & monkey to go & I'm up to date on another collection I wasn't going to start LOL

I don't think it would grade that high. I have sent 6 for grading so fat and it looks to be max 61 and maybe Au55 the small lines might even get details grading which is what happened to me.

thanks Numistacker. Was hoping to hear your thoughts. It is interesting what you say. I kinda knew the shop keeper would be overly optimistic since it seems to be part of what they do. But hopefully one Day we'll get an answer.

Picked up a 2015 5oz Libertad yesterday. Was also after the 2oz but had already gone.

Sterling half crowns.

The dragon coiling around that silver bar looks great and makes good use of the format.

Well this has got to be record for me.

Bought a 2001 Sovereign on the Ebay special about 4:05pm yesterday. And I have the coin in my hand now at 10am today.

Received a few modern coins back from grading.

If anyone is interested in an MS69 LRM coin with OMP let me know.

I recently received a package from California that was posted Saturday late afternoon (local time), first thing Thursday morning. I thought this was bloody good.

Finally managed to get the latest 2 Star Trek coins.  I didn't want the captains so had to wait until there were enough items to order to reduce the postage rate/item since the places with cheap postage only wanted to sell them as a pair.  Picked up the 2016 1/10 Roo, 1/10 Monkey and Silver Roo to go with them as well as some spare genuine Perth Mint capsules.

Missed the 1/4 oz Brit offered on here, so was looking at the 1/4 oz Krug at HGM...gone, so thought about that 1/2 nugget....

Settled on a double sov at Bairds which came in cheaper than the half oz from HGM. Less gold I know, but thought I might get something interesting of a lower mintage. (I am not a collector, but a stacker. Repeat 3 times.)

In the end I received a 1983 proof. A high mintage year at 13000 individual and 13000 box sets, but quite happy even though it is without box/certificate.

Another 3 carded Roos

Got my Monkeys from STG today, the capsules they are in, i think are very poor quality,have a ridge round the edging,felt rough to,Capsules where scratched and one coin has a scuff mark,My last Goat was damaged too.Come on STG get your act together.

[UraaniBarbaari]

Little gold for myself and some silver as gifts for the kids. Ordered from Gold Silber Munzen Shop. Have dealt with them few times and it has been smooth.

I really like the condition of the 2.5 dollar gold coin. If it is cleaned or not, can´t really tell.

[Guest]

The. Quarter eagle looks good to me perhaps Au 58 but can't see clearly enough to see any micro scratches. Color looks good.

 

 

[sovereignsteve]

If we're having a guess the grade session, I'll say it's a 60 - 62

[sovereignsteve]

This is the second Sydney mint Aussie type sovereign I have, so I guess I'm collecting them now!

This one is quite nice except for the rather ugly scratch on Vickies cheek, shame but the price was right.

 

[HelpingHands]

Is the type on the obverse usually that skewiff.  It looks like it needs rotating a few degrees anticlockwise.

Baby Panda arrived today and weighs in at precisely a half ounce...

Yes it's the way they are. The truncation of the bust is very sloping and the head as a whole is a little too big for the coin. There's not much room for the date. Also my photo is a little off vertical, if you rotate it slightly, it looks better.
