Received a large bill from NGC today meaning my (40!)coins are back in the UK so should be with me shortly... for now, a few from the current results;

Great results, still haven't gotten any 70s in my 1967 collection... 😪

Back in 1989 I remember reading the Sunday Times newspaper and in the colourful magazine section was a Royal Mint advert for the special 500^th Anniversary of the Sovereign set.  At the time there was no way I could afford even the half sovereign (I think the half sovereign’s initial cost was about £79).  The double sovereign’s issue price was about £299, and after over thirty years I have just bought an example of this beautiful coin.  I guess that is what you call the impact of marketing!

Zhorro, I see there's one just 3 serial  numbers away from yours, for sale on E Bay. What a price!

Because I got in at the start of the week my price was a bit lower than the one you mention.

Sometimes there are major benefits to working with refiners. This was scrapped in and I picked it up close to spot. 5p for scale

Got to love the classic 90's

Love the back story, inspiring

Awesome item arrived today as well. 

A rather unusual one.

Bermuda Triangle 5oz 9 dollar silver proof. Only 1000 minted.

Not strictly a triangle of course, but a Reuleaux triangle, so has a constant diameter, rather like a 50p coin but with only 3 sides. Hence 9 dollars face value, not 10. The whole series is in multiples of three. There is also a 1oz silver coin with $3 face value, a 1oz gold coin with 60 dollar face value and even a FIVE OUNCE GOLD coin with 180 dollar face value! Why they didn't put 360 dollars on it I don't know. That would seem the obvious choice.

Sadly it was tarnished but a quick procedure amended that.

Before :

and after. A little chemical magic and it's like new again.

Another chunk of my favourite metal from my favourite mint. Wasnt planning on buying with things being what they are at the minute, but couldn't help myself.

A beautiful 2006 2oz kook, some toning on the reeding where someone has been handling it, but otherwise in great shape.

[Robda1986]

Thanks @fehk2001  now to find the gold versions 🤪

[Tn21]

Bit of panic on my behalf and I began to buy for the past two weeks due to the crazy spot price movements.

All from the forum. 

Thank you to those I bought from

And I thought the Tokelau six dollar Chronos was a bit odd.
