Today I Received.....

Looking good!

[kimchi]

@augur very nice indeed! I must pick up something Korean myself!

Out of interest as I have a couple of the Certicards without the presentation box and CoA, would it be possible for you to post a pic of the CoA?

[augur]

Here you go @김치

 

[kimchi]

@augur Thank you so much my friend, that is really very helpful and interesting!

I will have a good read later - just spotted 'Issunig Authority' though, bit careless!

Hope it's OK, just linked to your post on the Indian Sov thread as I'm sure it'd interest a lot of folks there?

My 1859 Sovereign arrived









Auction Buy from McTears Glasgow. Rare in Marsh and a very tough date.

I can’t see the extra band on the headband @soveriegnsteve ?

sorry, no.

the 59 tends to have quite a broad lower edge to the headband. In certain light on certain photos, it can look as though it's two lines but if you look closely, you can see they are the two edges of a raised part. This aspect does tend to vary quite a lot in YH sovs.

trust me, I've looked extremely closely at loads of 59's

Grading results back from Numi (thanks - as ever!). 

The good news - PF70 on the 2016 gold Libertad proof 1/4 and Perth Mint sovereigns. Splendid.  

The bad news - even after sifting through a few to select, only got an MS66 QB Griffin 1/4 and a bit better (MS69) for the QB Dragon.  I have more work to do to secure them in MS70! The shame.....?

Surely MS69 is far, far better than a 66? A set of 70s will be very hard to build from what I've heard - they're bullion coins. 69s for most collectors might be the best they can hope to put together without spending 'a lot'.

If you ever sell your 69 Dragon I'd be interested, please let me know

@kimchi- yes indeed, the 69 is better than the 66...but I got spoiled earlier in the series as I have 3 perfect MS70 1/4 QB Lions and one MS69?. I may try to offer up one of those Lion 70s to trade for a 70 in the Griffin.

An absolutely stunning piece by@BackyardBullion. I had to prise this from my wife's fingers to take a quick photo, it feels absolutely wonderful to hold.

My 100gm silver bar arrived today from @BackyardBullion I'm delighted with it. The packing and delivery speed is immaculate.

I certainly do.

[Lindeman]

Some Britannia years I was missing, and the 2008 boxed set (didn't really want the smaller ones - but I love the 2008 1 ounce design!), and some early years (1989, 1993, 1996) silver eagles.  Nothin special - just some more semi - Numi silver.  

[sovereignsteve]

Well yesterday............the postie paid me a visit.

a proof 2005 and some bullion.

 

a 1884 shield half sovereign. was surprised I didn't have one already.

 

 

A lovely 1818 crown in EF condition. obverse maybe shows some signs of a little past cleaning, but hey don't send it for grading

[Xander]

The opportunity to buy another one of these fantastic Sovereigns came along, couldn't resist it. 

The one on the right is the latest addition...rubbish camera.

@sovereignsteve where did you get the bullion 2005's from?

You really need to put somthing like a 50p in the picture to give a scale, you don't get a sense of how impressive the are.
