Great price and only 5 working days! Bairds...

Fair enough the reason I asked is because they had zero stock when I tried a couple of weeks ago

Thanks! I've recently got into the older US coins. They're lovely coins but aren't cheap in nice grades! Came across these 2 which someone drilled (ouch) and half thought about putting them in the collection but decided against it

This truly lovely 1885 Proof of Record half penny. Very rare, as not a proof year. The red / brown lustre is stunning in hand but I just cant capture in the photo’s - sorry. Also awaiting a halfpenny MS64 RB to put along as makes a nice presentation (i think!)

Two Royal Mint dinosaurs!

Today I received this beautiful set of 1973 Isle of Man sovereign, thank you @InvestInCoins888 ,  I always wanted to have a Isle of Man sovereign, now I have four of them all in different sizes 😍

My favourite is the Quintuple sovereign 💕💕

[KevinG]

I got these 3 coins today. It took almost two weeks to get here from France.

Received today from @InvestInCoins888, 2013 Double Sovereign and a free gift (yay!). 

[shawy2510]

Strike on the day 2012 Sovereign, not often seen

 

[richatthecroft]

Thank you @InvestInCoins888 for this wonderful Isle of Man Proof Sovereign set and also, for helping me out by not only the offer of a lower price, but also holding it until I got funds together to pay for it. 

The little free gift sent with the set was a nice surprise 😄

Also, thanks to the Forum members who bought and are currently looking after the items I sacrificed from my collection to secure the set.  Hope you all enjoy your purchases, for now, I’ll be pestering you all in due course, for them back 😉

I very much appreciated the advice taken from a Forum member I have much respect of prior to making the purchase: ‘Rich,  the Reverse is a little bit Marmite’. But who could deny that the Machin Obverse is an enduring classic.

What I like about this particular set is its completeness- Sovereigns untouched and sealed in the presentation case, COA, original invoice for £388.50! and even the little waxed envelope the Jeweler supplied it in!

Anyway, enough waffle, here’s the lovely 46 year old set.

So glad you love it too! Definitely one of the nicest sets I’ve ever been lucky enough to buy... Makes me feel warm and fuzzy that it’s gone to a collector who will give it the love & respect it deserves 😉

[Bxlsteve]

What a wonderfull set! 
congratulations!!!

The reverse proof Maple Leafs were one of my first loves when I started buying coins in 2010.

This is the 3rd time I’ve started a collection - I’ll keep them this time, maybe.

Start at the beginning with the 1998 tiger.

Think this was the first SOTD the mint did... I have a couple of them... nice find mate.

This arrived in the post today, a British Malaya 20 Cents coin, dated 1943, the coin was only minted in three years, 1939, 1943 and 1945.

This design of coin was first minted in 1939 in .750 silver, 8 million were produced, 

in 1943 the silver content was reduced to .500 and only 5 million were minted,

the last year for the silver coins was 1945 with 8 million minted,  what gets me is that the 20 Cents was the highest denomination that country had, was it a poor country back then ?  postwar there was a 50 Cents coin and after the country became part of Malaysia dollars appeared.

Thats all the silver Malaya coins I wanted now, got a few more coins I am waiting for and bidding on, will have to see how they do.

Haha good luck with that buddy

It's been an absolute age since I've posted in this thread.  I'm no longer adding weight to my collection and have recently sold off bits which I'm no longer continuing with in order to swap out for the remaining QB 1 and 1/4 oz Golds.  2 more 1oz and 3 1/4 oz to go to complete the collection which I should  finish at the end of the year when they release The White Greyhound of Richmond. 

Ordered the Yale and White Lion from Chards on the 17th March.  I completely forgot about the Yale so I was scrambling to find one quick since the White Horse was being released which meant minting for the Yale would be stopping and premiums going up.  Atkinsons had already increased the Yale premium and some places were already out of stock.  Managed to get in at just over £1200 spot just as demand and spot was rising and just before the lockdown.  Ended up with a bit of a wait and were delivered today.  Unfortunately the Queen on the Yale has been attacked by her Corgis.

@morezone I remember the time when it felt like every other day you were receiving some new shinney. Nice purchases^^^^^^😀

Bought some silver and platinum from Bairds last night myself, I think that will be the last fir a good while, not touching gold currently and am not a collector.

[GoldElliott]

Thanks @ilovesilverireallydo

 for this unusual 9ct charm
