My first ever Geiger bars. 10 g and 5g they really are nice. Going to have to look out for some more now.

Got myself the new 2021 Gold 1 oz Britannia!

 

They are excellent definitely my next purchase to finish the year off

[LiquidMetalsUK]

Well these dont come along every day. Massive thanks to Emanuel at @GSTradingI'm blown away. 

[Richiesilver]

Some more random bits!

Nearly there in my quest for the complete set of 2005 Perth Mint Lunar Series 1. Latest 5 oz obtained from USA as there seemed to be nothing in Europe. All I need to do now is get a 1/2 kilo empty capsule, crack open the slab, source and buy the 1 kilo and commission a custom case. Not much to do lol.... work in progress and will be a few months yet before completion I think. 😀

They look amazing buddy. Glad u finaly found that 5oz 

[silversurf]

@Jamesd. Cheers buddy. Not quite as amazing as your Lib though...

[Cking83]

A little something for getting through another heart op, hopefully I won’t need a third op and can just get the 3rd Winnie the Pooh on its own 😃

[Blockhead]

Not very valuable, or exciting to most, but something I like launched in a year that is very important to me.

Ah yes, the good old days when VAT was only 8%. Wasn’t interest on savings accounts similar?

I used to have to reach for the calculator then, but 15% VAT is easier mental arithmetic.

2 down,7 to go. 😂😂

Like buses these gold coins... 

Finally pushed the button (on @TheCoinCabinet) and got myself a Gold Newton 50p in 70. Been pondering for some time and ended up siphoning some funds from my house extension building project to make it happen. Also seeing the updated RM sales figures for the coin being 371 in total (single + in sets) expedited my decison making. 

Now part of my science 50p series to go with Hawking's and Franklin.

Another Spanish silver 2 reales of Ferdinand VII - this one with an unrecorded overdate 2/0 and the only example I have seen 

I seem to finding lots of new varieties at the moment - the question is will NGC slab it as an overdate??? it will no doubt get a details grade due to the dig behind the bust but as the only example so far who cares! 

[richatthecroft]

Thank you so much to @terakris for parting with the Reverse Proof Libertad. 

I could never tire of the beauty of the Winged Goddess of Victory.  
She looks fabulous sat next to the two other Reverse Proofs, and better still with the wider México 1/2 Onza family.

So I completed the first part of my kids sovereign date run in today’s post and one different sovereign added by @ilovesilverireallydo

Why a date run, my logic if I give them as birthday presents in date runs, it will hold sentimental value, that should  🙏evoke some thought before ever considering disposal - now there’s long term inheritance planning for you 😂

My first success bidding on the @TheCoinCabinet auction this weekend. I got all 3 coins I was after within my max bids. Really pleased with all 3 when they arrived this morning

Also from the CC auction on Sunday this 2016 James Butler Half Sovereign. Surprisingly this, I believe was only the third one at 70 auctioned this year so not as common as you might think. 

This now proudly joins the famous five to become the special six.....

For some reason am getting lucky with rare bars lately. Here is a lesser known Engelhard and that Patina is awesome 

[GoodAsGold]

Here today. Off to the vault tomorrow. 

I wondered why the accompanying wooden box had a slab size hole instead of a capsule hole. The unnumbered COA states that the 400 mintage coins were sent to PCGS initially, hence the slab not a capsule. 389 achieved PR70.
