Today i received lovely Australian Coat of arms, great design by the RAM, and the RAM Lunar Ox, both sides georgeous. And the third issue of the Barbados Blue Marble Series. This time the Marble at night gildet. Looks a bit bigger then my other, the first Blue Marble, don't know which i like most, both are fantastic.  

Isn't there an oceanless marble too?.

Received last week, the proof 1oz Britannia, but I’m on the fence with this.

I think the design will divide opinion.

Its kind of mint error of the first one. There is another marble at night, that one i missed. Is like the gildet one, just not gildet.

Thanks mate - you inspired me in my very first post about QB collection - i remember you said that you have the full proof gold set?!

Let me know if you spot any for sell, they are hard to find!

Purchases over the last week or so. The Galileo is from last week, the new dragon is lovely, the bottom 3 are for the stack. The tube of mixed date phils is almost halfway, only 4 krugs so far and no tube as yet!

If anyone has an empty krug tube please let me know.

I don't have a picture but I just finally received the first gold I ordered. (Ordered and received a few other things since.)

8 2021 sovs

1 2020 double sov

1 2021 gold ounce kangaroo

Worth the wait. They are all like shiny mirrors. Unlike any other bullion I have, especially the double sovereign. It's worth buying at least one double brand new.

Wow, that is starting with style! Congrats.

Thanks @Touvex that's kind of you to say 😊

I do have gold bullion and have seen the QB's in bullion form and the difference is significant enough to make you dig deep into your pocket for them! 😅  The RM's bullion version of the QB's is not as good as some other bullion ranges out there, like from Perth mint. 

I do have the full set in quarter oz (apart from 1) and full set in 1 oz and a few 5 oz pieces - I couldn't resist, they're so unusual and stunning!

I've seen some gold proofs on Ebay queens beasts gold proof | eBay and some aren't graded, so depends on how bad you'd want them to be in 70 grade?

The QB bug is difficult to shake off!

I'd have to rob a bank to compete with this kind of collection 🤣

@GoldenGriffin - i forgot you also had the 1oz proof, that's insane! But massive congrats. that's very impressive. I dont even see many 1oz QB proofs for sell at all. I'm only after PF70 so won't be buying an raw coins. my OCD will just destroy me if i get one that has a mark on it... Your sare not graded right? will you ever grade them?

@Connor - sell your house 🤣🤣

I thought about collecting them but the prices kept bouncing around.

Did you see @mr-dead 's 10kg of gold in the custom briefcase? If not then search for it, amazing to see.

Thanks @Touvex I could have focused on stacking bullion only, but I went off the rails a bit with the proofs, but couldn't help it! 😅

I've not submitted any of my QB's for grading yet - I've been sending other coins off for grading at the moment.

I will start to send the QB's off at some point though - I've been letting some time pass, just to allow for any copper spots to appear first before sending for conservation and then grading - I want to make sure that when they're in their holders, they're at their very best condition, if that makes sense!?

I'm a bit OCD too! 😁

If I get a mix of 69's and 70's, I'll still be happy, as I'm just glad to have them and I don't think you can tell by eye if it's a 69, so as long as they're protected for the long haul, it's all good!

Recieved today from @DuncanWylieWilson a stunning world war 1 sovereign set with 1914 London Sov and 1918 India emergency issue in a beautiful presentation case. Leaflet also makes a great read

Missed this set first time round pleased to own it

My mistake, only 9kg and a few little bits and pieces. Like you I can only dream of a stack like this, but it doesn't hurt to look....😂😂😂

[Leonmarsh]

Can't work out if this coin is a keeper, recent sale of one on the forum inspired this purchase so you maybe seeing it for sale or exchange soon was going to go for the one listed but then opted for this 

zecchino of the last doge ludovico manin (1789-1797) a beautiful ducat with amazing detail given its age and that it was used for trade 

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces77766.html

Even included is a pic of the doge himself for you history buffs
