Today I Received.....

[AndrewSL76]

Another page of Kennedy’s completed. 12 received today from an eBay sale. Even with postage and tax the total worked out at just under £9 a coin. The premium is high but this is a long haul hold stack and if these are ever sold I am hopeful to get more than £9 a coin anyway!

This is my latest buy a 1944 dated Egyptian 2 Piastres coin featuring King Farouk and made from .500 silver.
This coin replaced the earlier round coin that was made of a higher silver content of .833, the new coin was still minted at the Royal London Mint in England, not sure why they chose a hexagonal shape this time, but it means I have to get some more capsules to fit it in.
This coin was made for one year only in 1944, all latest official sources (Krause/NGC etc) claim that only 32,000 coins were made, making it the rarest of all my coins so far, independent sources claim it was 32 million, I am believing the official accounts until they say otherwise, partly because King Farouk was really starting to losing favour with his populace at this time.

Its a shame its hard to show lustre on the coins without using artificial light or videoing it.

I have shown it compared to the previous 1937 dated type, 2 Piastres I bought a few weeks ago.

A classic set of 9 karat gold cuff links and a 1970's fruit-machine charm. The dials spin when you pull the handle, although sadly little gold coins don't shoot out when you win. Worked out as an 11% premium included postage which isn't bad at the moment.

My first ancient coin, a Greek Drachm. Purchased purely cos it has a Bee on it... and Bee's are cool 🤦‍♂️

Will be sent off for grading and NCS to clean up some of the surface contaminants a bit, but not bad for a coin thats over 2k years old.

Stunner! Where did you get it?

I really like the look of that coin. Is it a part of a series?

 It doesn’t stop catching my breath how brilliant and sparkly silver is, and the QB designs and mintage really brings out the very best. Many thanks @GSTrading

That’s all folks! 

I’m done for a long, long while in terms of significant purchases.  But what a way to finish.  

Thank you so much to @terakris for taking the risk initially on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Sovereign Set and then for grading them and in turn providing me the opportunity to buy 😄 

Tiny mintages on the 2012 Sovereigns and only 295 four coin Sovereign Sets produced 😮 

The 2017 200th Anniversary Piedfort Sovereign also from Kris.  Thank you also to all who bought my Silver Libertads which helped fund purchasing these beautiful Sovereigns 👍
