Finally got a chance to buy this set from the bay... sending to PCGS for grading shortly. So excited!

Never seen one in the wild. They must be going like arshimo2012 listings. What's the mintage?

I believe 250 sets only. Also it comes with a letter from the Royal Mint saying there is mistake on the COA card.

I believe it was @Gildeon who was selling this. 🤔

It was @Gildeon  Can happen to anyone.

A very nice coin, I wish I had one like this. Always these temptations to buy something different than a sovereign.

I have been itching to buy some shiny stuff recently but the spot price has been putting me off somewhat. Spotted this on Atkinsons’ website on Thursday for £365 delivered. I have quite liked this since release but not at £480 the Royal Mint are asking. It came complete with all packaging etc. 

Itch scratched... for now!

They do have some real gems now and again and I reckon you found this weeks!

I love stuff like this, when ever I get a piece of militaria I research and try and find every accessory, book, paperwork and anything else of historic value, the lovely things here you will probably never see again in your lifetime.

Congratulation

[CadmiumGreen]

Placing a recent emphasis on US gold coins, received a couple of beauties...

An exquisite first for the collection, a 2010-W 1 oz Gold Buffalo Proof.

 

Also, an excellent bit of Pre-33 gold, a 1907 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle BU.

 

And adding to The South African Mint’s Big Five Series...a couple 2019 South Africa 1 oz Silver Big Five Lion BU.

I think the makers of the Big 5 coins need you to do the photography for them, didnt think a great deal to them on their pictures, they look superb here.

Thank you!...All about the lighting! These are a little tricky to get good photos of...especially with an iPhone camera!😁

APMEX specials...not really special, just from APMEX😁. Premium is, how do we say this...exorbitant.

Just found the Lion on European Mint  - so Thanks @CadmiumGreen

Look for the Elephant, as well...that is the one that actually drew me in from the beginning. I have a previous post of that one from a few weeks ago.

Received this Austrian 10 Corona from BW Bank.

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Been after these for a while 80% silver 1 rand circulation Commemoratives. A few unc in there. 

[MikeG1978]

Thank you @ilovesilverireallydo for the 4 panda's really pleased with them 

Also picked up 2x2002 shield half sovereigns 😁

First foray into Platinum.  Thanks @kneehow2018. 

A grotty looking and fingerprinted 2015 Half Sovereign, Jody Clark Portrait from eBay. 

And a Gillick Portrait Set

Bought sans Sovereigns so had to fill it myself.

Best thing is the handy hideaway for the other eight year dates of the Gillick Bullion Sovereigns. 

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Well I am priced out of the gold and silver market for now. So I guess start to collect copper now lovecopperireallydo

[AndrewSL76]

I was very late to the @BackyardBullion party and am playing catch up. Today I received the 2017 1oz bar which was bought via EBay. Lovely to see how the bars have evolved. Just looking for a 2018 now! 

I also bought, courtesy of the wonderful @Peacemaker, a great 1oz Tri-State bar. I wonder if anyone has separated these?

[goldmember44]

A few recent acquisitions. A big thanks to @fehk2001 for the 2018 sov and the lion. I got the valiant 1oz from another dealer... just got one to check it out. And I have to say... this valiant coin is an absolute beauty in hand... pictures don't really do it justice! And the obverse too, looks very shiny and unique compared to other coins. This is going to be a hit for the Royal Mint, I'm going to try to get a handful from the European Mint before silver becomes more expensive. Have to get the money  first lol...
