Tell you what, I'm normally far too tight for proofs but these two half's were bang on the money. More than happy with these.

Beautiful years! 2002 one of my favourites! 🙂

I really need to pick myself up a 2002 at some point. Lovely

Worth every penny fella. Great design imo and less copper finish then the newer special date years.

Bit of a James Bond week.  Both 1980s and 1990s turned up this week.

2024 Six Decades of 007 - 1980's - Silver 2oz and Gold 1/4oz proofs

Octopussy's Acrostar Microjet - actually a real flying jet aircraft.

These two coins turned out to be spotless - a little spot of missing frosting here and there, as usual, but no contact marks.  Although, as shown in the previous microscope photos, the gold 1/4 has a 'wire edge' or 'wire rim' (terms vary) apparently caused when the gold is forced around the edge during the strike.

Lovely, I like the 2012 half 🌞

[Aldebaran]

I love birds - so this lovely set of Belize coins from @CoinCupboard is perfect.

It is fifty years old and in fantastic condition.

Don't have it personally, but from what I hear it can be fortuitous and a minefield in equal measure.

@James32 is right, been a lot of scammers using cloned profiles in the past few months and the odd rogue seller, it is not as safe as it is on here but if your careful there are bargains to be had - not really many more than on here though.

I play it safe on there and only buy from dealers, and a handful of people I have dealt with multiple times in the past.
