After waiting two years .....I have eventually managed to buy a 2017 silver Krugerrand for under £30 inc postage...

Slowly catchy monkey 🐒 ..

I can’t remember how much these were at launch, but I do know I considered it way too much...2018 & 2019 to follow on next group order.

 

 

I see that the 2017 is usually sold by dealers at around £45-50.

Is it of a significantly better quality than the 2018/19 version? I just picked one up in the Group order for around £28 so was reasonably chuffed.

@TheProspector I only have the 2017 so no other Krugerrand to compare against..This coin does appear to be extremely well manufactured.

@Xander. Love the square sovereign. Is there much of a premium ?

The 2017 is a "Premium Uncirculated" and I would say it has a nearly reverse proof finish and this is a beautiful coin. The 2018/2019 (I have some 2018) are pure bullion with unlimited mintage  and their finish has nothing to do with the 2017. Moreover, the 2017 has a "limited" mintage of... 1000000, though I have read that this mintage has been reduced to 630000...I have the 2017 for the pleasure to have it, but unless you get it at a "reasonable price", it will not be a coin to flip for a long time

Thanks for that, I did think it looked a lot better quality than a bullion coin.

In saying that limited to a million doesn’t feel that limited 😂.

Received the 2019 wedge tailed eagle and I backdated the ZI:SIN series.

The flying eagle is great, shame about those awful rays. Hope they don't have them on the proof.

Unfortunately I think they will. They definitely do on the high relief proof.

I think it was a single year issue, but circulation, so there are literally millions of them. Not rare but usually command a small premium in the U.K.

Correct - the Australian "round fiddies" were issued only in 1966. Very popular even today - Stuart Devlin's (famed for 1990 Kookaburra and Australian circulating currency coins) Coat of Arms design has aged well. 🇦🇺 On the obverse Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

Week starts well with a bit of vintage Perth Mint silver 😊 🇦🇺

Shiny Shiny! Hopefully add the Yale in the next group order 🙏

Had to look twice to realise that the mintmarks are in fact platinum Brits

76 x 60% silver coins at £10.35/oz (total just over 7oz silver content)

Today this beauty turned up thank you @SilverStan. Absolutely amazing workmanship by @Alun thank you for pointing me in the right direction 👍

Also had a 2018 high relief proof wedge tailed eagle to go with its family. All I need now is a 2014 and a 2019 so if anyone knows know where I could source these a nudge in the right direction would be great 😀. 

 

[SilverStan]

Looks great and your very welcome

When it rains, it pours...or in the case of today, when it snows, it snows.😥. But I digress...this load has arrived over the past couple of days and I have just been too overwhelmed with everything to do an unboxing! So here is a preview of what is to come courtesy of @richatthecroft, @TheCoinConnection, APMEX, The US Mint, and Bullion Exchanges!...

 

Sorry it has taken so long to get these posted...I think I have received something for everyone this go around! 

First off, a beautiful 2018 Mexico 1/2 oz Reverse Proof Gold Libertad!

Next up, a superb 1880 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle! Thank you very much, @richatthecroft!!

Adding another US coin, received an 1874 $3 Gold Princess...a rare piece bought as a lucky dip XF.

And, evidently the 2019 Gold Sovereign Matt BU isn’t any easier to take a photograph of...Thanks to the screw-type capsule. Welcome back screw-type capsules!! And “Thank you!!” to @TheCoinConnection, for sourcing this great addition to the sovereign collection!

Now, shifting over to some silver...Finally received the 2019 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary $1 5 oz Silver Proof!

The 2019 50p Silver Proof 20th Anniversary of The Gruffalo...

And lastly, for desert, a 2019 Tuvalu 1 oz Silver The Simpsons Donut Proof...This one is pretty cool in retrospect!
