Today I Received.....

Beautiful. Did you have the red box to go with it? Check out ebay I bought the bronze coin, a few of them and swooped out the bronze for the silver. I believe they all used the same boxes, with a little push button latch. Had to get not damaged. 

The Jubilee Medal I received today is the smaller .925 Silver variety 25.75mm diameter and I believe that it was ordinarily issued in just the envelope- but likely the plush red box could have been purchased as an extra at the time?
 I know this was the case for later sets of coins for example, the 1902 & 1911 Proof Coronation Coin Sets were issued in cardboard presentation cases unless upgraded at extra cost for the plush box.  Purchasers of earlier special RM issues had to rely on jewellers and Gold or Silversmiths to produce fitted boxes- there’s quite a trade for them- hundreds of pounds for some of them. 

Photos below of the impressive larger .925 Silver 56mm Medal- a weighty 87grams as well as the 22ct 13g Gold 26mm Medal and the smaller Silver.   I’m looking out for a nice Bronze example and it would be nice to own the larger 56mm Gold weighing in at over 94g  I’ll await the lottery win first of all! Here’s one that sold recently at Sovereign Rarities- I think it was around £9k.

It's actually 28g crown size. It was a gift and came like this. I think direct from RM so probably horribly overpriced...

It is very nice though.

It's a lovely coin mate, very nice addition 👍 they are all gone at the royal mint, I was hoping to get one next month but they are only on ebay and they were already expensive as it is. The mint are doing 75 of them in 5oz gold made to order. Only 12 grand.🤣

Festive purchases/gifts. Happy with this lot.

3 Phil's from @kamik0zi for my plan to fill a tube. Have 8 now (anyone who has an empty tube to sell please let me know). Also got some caps from @WILLIG666. My first of no doubt many Forum purchases. Also my first fractional gold which I hope becomes the first of many...

Good haul! I might now have a tube available, actually. Any idea on price?

I agree and it's very reasonably priced even if Vat gets added which quite often it doesn't. Will be getting lots more in the future and especially as the assay office has confirmed no need for hallmarks so will be zero problem reselling these on if necessary.👍 Go check him out on Instagram and get some

Got some grain last week was busy playing with it. That’s one maple that won milk spot 😂 

These are cool bottles. Can you buy them separately? and how big are they (compared with a pound coin? How much silver grain can you get in the face bottles or Canada leaf? Are these 100ml, 150ml?

Thanks. Regards. Juan

A couple of snowmen for my kids and a 2oz bu libertad for me. Possibly this year's underdog for the 2020 libertads with a mintage of 5500 and the 3rd smallest mintage for the 2oz bu's

Good choice! I got myself a 2oz BU Libertad as well. That's the 3rd smallest mintage ever, but the smallest by far in recent years. This will be a key year for Libertads. The 1oz proof's mintage is also the lowest in a long time, at a similar level. And just 300,000 for the 1oz BU, that's by far the lowest of the most popular 1oz silver government mints around the world. Compare the millions of US eagles, Britannia, Maples and Philharmonics. And collectors love Libertads (for some reason... and I'm a new convert :)).

Love these coins, it's a great series. I kick myself on a regular basis for not getting in at the start and they are stupid expensive to pick up now. Win some, lose some I suppose.

Thanks. The 2oz bu was definitely the one for me this year when I seen the mintage figures. I think the 2oz bu's often slip under the radar with peolpe opting for the 1oz or the proofs but yes definitely a key year all round for sure. I do love libertads myself. Maybe a little to much somtimes 🤣 but I see them definitely more of a collector coin rather than a bullion 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes this will be one to watch for the future, that's for sure. The 2oz proof also has a low mintage, and is a really beautiful coin. I regret not getting a 2oz proof too at a good price, now it's sold out the Coin Connection. Oh well...

Yes I missed out on the proofs also 😥 I suppose I can't have them all although it would be nice. You never no a fellow forum member could have a couple spare for us 😁

My purchases from the Dec 27th @TheCoinCabinet auction arrived this morning. 2 1856 $1 pieces. Same coin, one raw and 1 graded. I really like old American gold coins.

Absolutely beautiful. I am SO envious but also so annoyed that I did not bid more for that raw version. Well done - lovely purchases!
