Today I Received.....

[LiquidMetalsUK]

My wife would love that baby groot. May have to look Into getting one for her. Looks great 👍👍

[CadmiumGreen]

Went from old gold to receiving what I believe is fake gold. Received a Saudi Arabia Gold Guinea, new fake variety, as it isn’t like the other genuine examples I have seen. This recent example explicitly states “24” “CT” on the obverse, and looks to be missing the first character in the script if reading from right to left on the reverse.

Also, the weight and size measurements are not accurate to the genuine 1950/1957 Saudi Gold guineas... 7.00 grams total weight, 21.88 mm diameter and  approx 1.23 mm thickness.

I have a voice mail in to Billion Exchanges as I had ordered this from their recent availabilities of Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea AU/BU (Random,1950 or 1957).

 

Closer inspection given the wear of the detail and in consult with @augur (Thank you @augur for the review and advice!), these two are also copies of Saudi Gold Guineas...now I have a solid collection of Saudi Gold Guinea copies!😁

That’s really old, I have seen a 24ct copy but it was 7.33gm and 999 (24ct) Gold. It seems you were sold a coin that is low in gold weight on top of being a copy  that sucks.

Received the 8 oz Hydra silver statue from Heads or Tails, a 2011 Vicksburg ATB, and 2 proof 1 oz 2019 Rwanda Victoria Nautical Ounce.

2 very special deliveries today. I was had pretty much decided I wasn’t going to keep the gold 50p set, but now I have my hands on it, it’s stunning, I have no idea what to do!!! And the Queen Vic Sovereign was always a keeper

[MikeG1978]

Lovely coins these gold coins are very addictive 😁

[richatthecroft]

A nice Saturday turned into a perfect one. A trip to Saltwick Bay with my Wife and the dogs. followed by a couple of nice finds in my now favourite Whitby tat shop, and best of all,  fish & chips on the way home.

Nice quandary to be in Mike- I would say keep the Set and sell if you want at your leisure- 75 mintage and bound to be a good collector following...and that Special Sovereign- keep forever 😉

Beautiful coin. 👍

A trio of 1Oz Valiants and a full tube of 2017 Voyaguers - fancied a tube of something (have been a bit of a magpie pciking up things in 1's and 2's as I spot something pretty) an these came in at a good price/nice balance for me.

Think the valiants look really nice in the flesh, might have to look at getting a 10Oz.
