Regardless of gold price variations over the past week, still managed to pick up a wonderful 1907 $10 Liberty Gold Eagle before the prices jumped way up, this one joins another 1907 I also have...

Also, just as a show that I still procured during the recent gold highs...a very nice 1899 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Surprisingly, this also joins another 1899 Half Eagle already in the collection!

 

Keep on buying gold, within your means, during these times of plausible uncertainty!!!

Nice pick up and great pictures !

At least it didn’t take as long to deliver as Brexit itself, the Silver 50p finally arrived today.

  U.S Gold octagonal 25 cents. Picked this up today, for some reason it's been on my wish list for a long time. California Gold, different denominations  up to $1, different manufacturers. Not officially recognised by the US government but accepted as currency for a while. 

We are talking tiny here, if you look at the size of it in the slab. How any one kept track of these I dont know, but happy to own a little bit of US history

This week's add-on: 5 x 2017 Chariot Britannia and 1 oz Russia State Museum. I recently got the Russia 5 oz version, this one completes the set. Both will go to NGC. Thanks go to @arshimo2012 for the Brits.

Total count: 495 ounces of silver, 3 ounces of gold, 1000+ US silver coins (dimes, quarters, half dollars). Way behind on my goals....

No PM in March for me, waiting for prices to drop further then I'll need some more gold.

[AuricGoldfinger]

Not PMs but got my first load of the new £20s. Always weird getting used to new fiat, at least gold is eternal!

Hate the plastic notes. Too slippery 

[AndrewSL76]

A nice addition to the growing PCGS phase I am going through...

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Don’t come across these very often. But worth having at least one in the collection. 
shame about the condition

Ordered this a couple weeks ago on sale for $12 over spot just before gold took its elevator ride up and then back down.  2019 Perth 1 oz gold Lunar Landing Anniversary.

[Tattoedamat]

Looks much better than the 5 ounce silver offering

Picked up these bad boys today from sharps pixley, the highest I’ve ever paid for gold but How can you buy gold and not be happy about it regardless of the price you paid for it.

Thanks for showing them. I quite like the more intense colour. Would you mind showing the reverse as well?

I was wondering when exactly they would come out. For how long will the old £20s remain valid in shops?

I completely missed the transition to new £5 and £10 notes, and when I've been to the UK again last year, I tried to pay with the old tenners I still had from the previous trip, only to be told that they aren't accepted anymore. Fortunately I didn't have too many; I ended up mailing them to the Bank of England and got reimbursed by direct deposit. I had to provide an "explanation" for where I had the money from and why I still had it. They seemed to be quite serious about it, but even if they thought I was laundering, 50 quid probably wouldn't qualify as a major operation, so "from a trip two years ago" was good enough apparently.

I googled it back then and found that the new £20s would be introduced in 2020, so this time I made sure to not take any £20s back with me.

For anyone in the UK: Is it normal that apparently every single cash machine only dispenses £10 and £20 notes? No £5 or £50? How do British parents even have the right cash to pay pocket money? Would I even be able to get away with paying with a £50 somewhere? I already had the impression that insisting on using cash instead of contactless put me on some sort of list.

It's not that different in the Netherlands where I live, but I'm originally from Germany. Cash payments are one of the few noticable cultural differences that I refuse to adjust to. I will use cash until it's illegal. I vaguely remember a recent survey asking people if they would trust Facebook with their financial data. Hell, I don't even trust my bank with my financial data.

clarification

The coins I bought from @Gildeon arrived today. Say what you want, but some things just work very smoothly in the Eurozone. Beautiful coins, great condition. 

 

Now to find those new elephants a place between the others. I don't think I'll ever not be delighted about how happy the one from 2018 (lower left) looks.

[AuricGoldfinger]

@dollarydoos

Here’s the reverse. Cash is a dirty word in the UK now it’s a joke.

Takes a while to be phased out, i was in the bank the other day and they were still accepting the old £10 note if it was the last ones produced (they checked serial numbers)

Thanks for showing the reverse. I'm very unhappy to see that they replaced Adam Smith.

Did you have a bank account with the bank that accepted the old notes? I didn't have an account with a UK bank, so that seemed to have complicated things.

[ittle5huggy]

Nah @1817Karl, just an exchange ..... cuppa coffee for a hand off of these lovely's
