The 50% rarely sell less than twice spot value. Always in high demand. 

 

Yep.  I keep a look out for any cheeky deals but I can't bear paying twice spot for anything!  More of a stacker than a collector me.

Not rare but nice. Having set up an eBay offer war chest, i picked some premium coins for bullion prices:

i also create some "unsellable" listings during eBay seller offer time and switch then the item in (e.g the 1887 is available as it is too good for my bullion bag but not good enough for grading)

That 1887 is nice.

Lovely Ruanda proofs - from the German dealers; the 2019 Lunar Pig and the 2018 Endeavour Nautical.   Talking myself into backtracking to find the other Lunar proofs🙏🙏. Not the cheapest silver - but some of the most innovative designs.  

[Turkish]

Lovely Rwanda proof, but expensive and without box.
the rooster proof start to tannish. 😞

@Turkish, if I’m not mistaken, in photo, your Rwandan Rooster is BU...the Rwandan Silver BUs come in the sealed plastic “blister” packaging. The Proofs come in the capsules. Great selection though, and I really like the Rwandan Lunars and Nautical series.

I talk about the Perth mint rooster.
The Rwanda Rooster have the most sex-appeal rooster coin i have seen.

I'm virgin to staking silver, the forum help me to chose coin..

I have 20 more Oriental border coin

[CadmiumGreen]

@Turkish, thanks! Definitely agree with the  Rwandan’s do have the best Lunar Rooster...to be honest, the Rwandan Lunars are the only Lunars I have in my collection. I think you made a good choice with the Oriental border Britannias. And I have done similar with taking some sound advice from other savvy members on The Silver Forum. Of which, @coinosseur has a great book he has written and @caloundracats I believe may have a couple of copies left for sale. This might be of help as well...

Received my smallest coin ever, the 2014 1/4 ounce Gairsoppa Britannia. Huge premium but this is a collectors thingy for me..

Just ordered this book myself. My main strategy is stacking gold, but I think reading around the other PMs is essential to get an idea of the stacking/collecting environment!

As part of my upgrading program for the WW I details coin:

1913 Bulgaria 2 Leva MS62+

The obverse has an interesting purple toning, which i struggle to capture. Little known fact: Ferdinand I is a relative of Prince Albert – both are from the house of Saxe Coburg and Gotha.

afternoon, so new in today, I tried to buy this coin six times from a certain German dealer before being successful, by trying to buy it from the website, would not acknowledge the uk! and by direct e mail from a previous purchase, lets say the issue was a language barrier and that's being kind .

anyway as is usually the case I started collecting the1/4 gold beasts in bullion form, but a proof came up at a good price, which lead to purchase of another and we all know what happens next , so this was the last one in proof form I needed ,so I have all 1/4 gold in proof beasts, some at a high premium some at a good premium but when you got to have em you got to have em , now do I have them graded ?

 I haven’t been posting very much in the received thread over the last three months. 

I have been selling more than I have been buying in order to fund a very special purchase.

Today I picked up this special purchase from BSJ auctions.

 

 

 PCGS have graded only 2 coins of this type.  In 1825 they were no formal proof Sovereigns issued. A few were minted as proofs of record for internal or VIP use.

One of these coins is in the tyrant collection -  and the Other is now in my collection...
