Always fancied an Indian head. Is it comparable in size to a sovereign?
 

Yep.  Just under 0.5mm smaller. $5 is 21.6mm

Great Mexico silver pesos!

I have looked at collecting these, and the earlier 8 reales, due to the Spanish link and they are very impressive in the hand. I am always tempted at the US auctions as getting mexican coins in the UK is almost impossible (goes for anything from central and south america). I do like the small gold 1 peso for a date run though[emoji16]

I have at least 7 raw Pesos in the same condition if your interested... Eventually I'll send them in for grading as well.

Referee!

I object sir, I would never scoff at a fellow sovereign hobbyist

That's a great collection - all different dates? The leading NGC registry sets must have taken some time to put together - just need to persuade the kids that they will need to complete the various sets I have?

I noticed one in MS67 went at Heritage in January which I didn't bid on as I spent too much on another lot in that sale!

Shame about the big thumb print in the middle of the bar.

@morezone - nice work with the Indian Head half eagle. Not sure if you noticed it (I am sure you have!) - but you got an S Mint mark there, so it's a San Francisco 1911 coin.  Always nice to know if you want to go for a set of the different years or US mints that issued these beautiful coins.

1g 2016 Disney Note from JuneYao Group which was sold through Shanghai Pudong Development Bank

$5 Indian Head from HGM.  Didn't think I would get it as I took so long looking up the stats to work out the % over spot since HGM no longer display it.  I missed out on the $2.5 a week or 2 ago for the same reason.

Australian Domed Southern Sky 1oz Gold Coin from the New Zealand Mint.  Very nice packaging.

So you got the indian head.  By the time I noticed it and went to check out I forgot to tick the terms box and had to go through it again only to find it was gone.

2008 1oz Britannia proof.

I didn't notice.  Just had a look at the coin and it's really hard to make anything out with the naked eye through a capsule.  Just looks like a bump.  Had to blow up the pic I took to see the worn out S.

I was surprised I managed to get it with all the faffing about working out the premium.  The big question is, who got the $2.5 Indian from the other week. I know for next time to not even bother working out the premiums on the Indian heads.  Just buy!  Click, click and click faster!

Just received this 2017 Half Sovereign Proof from@Heisenberg



Now would you open it to look at the coin or keep in original packaging?

Open it - If or when you do sell the next person probably will.

Agree. The plastic bags are easy to open without damage and sort of re-seal. Well, the full ones are.

Panda weekend.

I guess there is no choice but to get the 2003 silver 5 & 1 ozers now.

Yeah I've done that, no worries though. I will clean it and put it in a capsule.

Rwanda Rooster looks great. Happy that I bought a NGC ER MS70 graded early enough. I got it for 55 USD.
