Today I Received.....

I would have thought any posted photos may end up on google images no matter where they are posted.

I'm not aware of the photo gallery having any other duty other than being a place to post and view photos.

@Cully We could do with that photo in

 

 

Done, although I didn't need much of an excuse..

Picked up a couple of IOM 1 ounce Nobles - 2016 gold and the platinum from 1987 (middle of the Noble platinum run which went from 1983-1989, 3000 mintage for 1987). Have to say - the gold noble has instantly become one of my favourites ! 

Took further advantage of the long drop in platinum $ price in early October (to lowest in 6 months) to pick up another ounce, this one a Canadian 2016 maple, and for metal diversity I got my first palladium coin - also a 1 ounce Canadian maple, from 2005.  Interesting to see that the palladium is quite a big bigger (less density than platinum). 

Also from Scottsdale - a 5oz chunky silver bar, and then the pretty awesome Chad King Tut 5 ounce Egyptian Relic Series with its chiselled look antique finish. 

From MCM when they got them back in stock - a few slabbed PF70 silver moon festival medals, which I was initially immune to ...but now appreciate more for the sheer detail packed into the 1 ounce. 

Two Asahi 10 oz silver bars - nice to see how they kept some elements of the Johnson Mathey design, but added some new design features. Core stack. 

Finally - a batch of QB Lion gold quarter ounces (still picking them up ...as I reckon they still hold a lot of collector potential). I am going to look closely under a loupe to see if any deserve grading. 

Need to lay off the PMs for a few days?..but especially enjoyed the dip in platinum, while adding to the collection and the stack.

Got a bullion 2016 sovereign and a 2014 Indian I mintmark half sovereign. Strained my eyes to see if the 'I' was there

Series 1 1996 1/4oz lunar mouse. May send off for grading just for fun. Looks clean under a loupe (despite there appearing to be a scratch on Lizzie's head which isn't on the actual coin) but doubt it's a 70 of course. With only 1390 of these as a declared mintage, it might be worth slabbing this one just to protect it. 430 quid delivered so happy with that regardless.

A big thank you to Silverstan - A bought a couple of the Silverbug Proof first coin in the eight coin issue - 'Welcome to the Silverbug Island' from Silverstan last year and he sourced the next two issues for me - many thanks for your time - top man!

Also two of his limited addition bars - my photos don't do them justice - very nice indeed - A stocking filler for my kids.

Picture of the first issue also shown.

Finaly they arrived

Got COA 975 and 976 out of 980 made

Two 2017 Sovereigns arrived. My first impression even better than I thought they would be.

Am not sure it would add much at the moment. Better to watch price movement and see if it ever adds value.

My 2017 Proof Sov arrived today - I had a half on order but got the full instead - I read previous posts about RM poor packaging and my experience was no different - shipped in its original packaging(no added bubble wrap to box) and put in a cheap Jiffy bag.  I paid £12.50 for postage - All that said I really like the coin and happy I choose a full due to the detail on the rim of the new design.

It makes little difference  but I like the COA number.

when mine came from the mint it wasn't even a signed for service. Lucky I was in when the post arrived

Apmex pre order. That is all. UPS arrived yesterday but was out. Really really well packaged and protected. Really top class

[morezone]

Some 2016 1/10 Wedgies.  Couldn't wait for EU dealers any longer and was far too expensive to import just the 1 so bought a few as spares.  Will be offering a few here for any crazy collectors like myself.  Real shame they never did a 1/10 for 2014/15 and would be amazing if they did a 1oz in bullion.

[Rich99]

Another couple of full sovs, 1980 and 2009 no dings on the edge of these!

Also was tempted by a low price for a 1/2 ounce 2001 proof britannia.

 

[Oldun]

Got my first modern silver sixpences from the RM today. Have you ? 

 

[sovereignsteve]

Are you going to put them in your pudding then?

[Oldun]

Yep  Call me old fashioned.

I have lovely memories of popping one in the mixing bowl with my sister as little kids and wondering who would get it after the pudding had been soaked in brandy, set light to, and then served with vanilla ice cream.....yummy.
