@sixgun didn't Johnson Matthey sell their refineries to Asahi of Japan? Or they bought Asahi?

Found it, asahi bought out Johnson

Johnson Matthey bars are a collectors' item in the making. i see dealers advertising them and when you look more closely most are 'out of stock'.

[mmissinglink]

One could say the same thing about OPM bars since they are no longer being produced ("Ohio Precious Metals" no longer exists).

Collecting bars seems extremely boring  but I guess non PM enthusiasts would say the same about coins

Tuvalu 1/2 oz silver Proof Snow Leopards. Nothing special, but I liked it. Going to pick up the other 4 coins in the serie as well.

So this is a little bit overdue. But I only fiddle my coins when I have the time to really enjoy them.

My WMF2017 pick ups. I should have made better notes at the fair. Because now I can't remember what I paid for some. Don't have receipt from all the sellers, just the big ones.

Some maybe don't care, but I know from myself that I wanted to know where the prices lay on this event. Some have really good prices, some are dreamers and some you can haggle with.

1/10 gold maple 2017

1gm sunshine gold bar

2x random our choice un circulated mint coins( 2015 pandas !)

it seems I've jinksed myself forever saying I'll never buy any pandas because of the volume of counterfeits going round and there is a niggle with them the seller I use is very trustworthy but these coins arrived in capsules and on one of them there's a copper tint buy one of the paws I've weighed them done a mag test there no smell of copper so all should be fine why couldn't they of just sent me some nice libertads.

I'm not an expert on Panda's, but the ones I have, have more text on the front.  Weight and purity of the silver in the bottom textured crescent, etc.

Ignore that, it seems this wasn't the case with the pre-30g coins.

Yep 2015 they got rid of the ag .9999 ect I double checked that as well as these were the first I've ever had worst thing is the wife likes them so looks like one a year I'm guessing my avoidance stemmed from I video I watched by cyber curtain twitcher on youtube. Looking into these coins further in bulk they come in a sort of blister pack of 30 and in that pack each individual coin is in it's own capsule  feeling much better about them

Just picked up these WMF Berlin 1oz and 8g Pandas from my neighbour.  No idea they'd shipped.  Made payment on Wednesday and never heard anything regarding receipt of payment or dispatch.

[Sovereign]

1821 Full Sov

love the old sovereign 

 

1887 1/2 Sov PCGS MS62 

[morezone]

Decided to back fill the Shanghai Mint Lunar 80mm Brass Medals.  I'm not up to date.

The dragon was ridiculously expensive.  It came in a broken pouch but I was expecting it to be opened and loose anyway.  It too me forever to make sense of the back.

The Rabbit was the first release for this cycle.  Originally 5k mintage but subsequently dropped to 1k and the styling of the back changed.  Came sealed in the pouch and again, I was expecting it to be opened and loose and is also the cheapest of the series.

really disappointed for you 

I had to look up what that grading means

They believe it has been wiped over causing minor scratching somewhere?

Really cool Medals Morezone! I must say I figured out the back of the Dragon straight away. I am perplexed with the back of the Rabbit. (-:

Today I received my 2006 silver proof Queens' 80th birthday coin that I won on ebay for just over £16.

On top of that in the post was a package with an ASE & a 2017 silver Britannia that I never ordered.

It was addressed to me but had the wrong house number on it. When I opened it there was a receipt with order status 'complete'. Now I then compared it to my recent order receipt from the same firm that had 'processed' in the order status. Duplicate order from Yorkshire bullion!

Me being me, I've tried ringing them but no response. I'll give them another ring in the morning. I could easily say nothing but they haven't done me a bad turn & have been pretty good with my orders.

The owner returned my missed call. A really nice fella who was a bit surprised about the whole thing. I've offered to pay for them so he's not out of pocket.

He's now busy checking to see if any other orders were duplicated and was worried that maybe the case with some sovereign orders with other customers. Hopefully for him it's a one-off glitch.

Good for you, MickB. Honesty and integrity is a scarce commodity in many people today....glad to see you value it in yourself.
