Just back from NGC and a pickup from MCM.

Your killing me here... Lol
I assume you are buying the Griffins in capsules? Which is why they are perfect? I have 2 sitting here but they won't be a MS70...

Ahh nice! Yeah the 2 I have are from Pinehurst... I'll try MCM or Bullion Exchange...

Don't know yet. Probably will. Delivered by Fedex so expecting a bill soon. Going to try asking HM rev and customs for a reduction to 5% vat on account of coins being numismatic and quoting the correct code. It's worked in the past.

Having read this, I may even try not paying the Fedex "collection" charge.

Had a quick play with the macro lens. Hope they look ok

Got my hands on a Longest Reigning Monarch 5oz proof to go with my other 5oz collection.

Received my Plain Edge Gothic Crown. A (near) perfect coin only ruined by a tiny scratch.

 

Compared to my Undecimo crown.

1 Oz Lion Proof - The design is nice and clean I am quite happy with it. I think the gold quarter version may be worth a second look.

I believe so too, but for some reason PCGS/NGC label them all as PR.

Even Baldwin/London coins seem to advertise ones they have sold as proof.

Today I received my Dream of red chamber coin set.. Originally i bought the 3rd series then decided to buy the other 2 sets but couldn't get Pf70 on the older sets..

These coins are absolutely beautiful and probably my favourite coins in my collection..

[sovereignsteve]

How could you possibly part with it?

i wouldn't use a way spoil , because if she is going to do that means 1) she cares about you 2) she do well 3) you deserve it  , MAYBE her career is better than yours reguardless what you are doing , i think that is what most parents hopes/ wants  so all positive
