Hi all, not sure why this 'set' is a thing other than one year follows the other but it is very well put together little velvet box and i was very lucky with the quality of the coins hidden within, I wish everyone all the best for this year

Oops! My photos seem to have fallen over.. one day I'll get the hang of these bloody phones

Couple more beauties received this morning

The 1884M from the recent Coin Cabinet auction and the Viente Peso from HGM

 

It's a nice 20 pesos.  That's one I've got on my hit list.  Maybe also a 50 peso at some point.

Only 1957 and 1964 to go.

Today I received my coin in a bird box...

What a nice little philatelic freebie! Can you guess what the coin will be...?

Nope. "This is not the coin you're looking for" that one comes next week. But you should've known Orpster cos I told you about it already. 😄 But it's a bit of a curve ball.

Two great minds eh Paul, I had to have a think before I bought it and I'm pleased with the condition of the coins but it's  rather a random 'set' isn't it

Trio of doubles this week...

Is it an easy process to bid and did you have to pay a premium on the purchase?

I pre-bid rather than doing it live, there was 6% plus VAT to pay on the hammer price (the VAT is on the 6% not the hammer price)

I wont bid live, I have buggered up too many times.
Once I won a batch of silver £2 coins, I had got distracted and thought I was bidding on the previous lot

I did a live bid a while ago after wine o'clock. I got the highest bid for about two hours and then spent every minute hoping someone else'd out bid me. They did so phew to that lol.

😮🤔Trouble is I have seen auctions where they have gone straight in with the top price some has left as a bid instead of working up to it. The person either doesn’t get the item or pays more than they should have. At the end of the day you can’t beat the adrenaline buzz of being in an auction room live bidding… unfortunately, virtually all coin auctions of any worth are miles from me🤔🙁

The coin collection and coins of the realm auctions are 6% and 0 for buyers. Most of the others are ridiculous at 30% plus
