Today I Received.....

Have you been vaccinated ? 🤪😜😂

I received from a local auction house today. This 1931 hallmarked 22ct band was made by Albion Chain Co of the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham between the wars.

I find buying the odd 22ct or 18ct gold ring is a great way to ‘stack’ or collect gold.

But there’s something about these old gold rings that’s makes me wonder, who they belonged to? Who treasured it? The symbol of love it once meant to someone? All of which of course I’ll never know. But at a little % over spot after auction fees they’re a great buy. They have that ‘yellow’ gold look, presumably mixed with silver.

At a fraction over 6 grams. I like this.

The nurse that vaccinated me didn't look like that and thankfully neither did my face look like his. 😂

Whilst I own this and the others I have they’ll never meet the melting pot.

(excused the bad photos).

And you can get for spot or less...sell for slightly over and your sweet...if they don't sell,gold goes up a couple of percent you can melt at 95% melt and still make money.

Yes you are right.

I don’t so much see these as a ‘melt’ option.

I see them more as a store of wealth that if I sell one day somebody else might melt, granted.

But personally I never would melt them.

My precious

Recieved today from bullion by post this 5 9's 1oz Canadian call of the wild gold coin. The 99.999% purity is the main reason I like these coins, they are like spinal taps amp that goes all the way to 11.  They are one 9 better than normal 24 ct gold 🤣

I've done both, kept to sell and melted, have a connection with 95% of spot for the worn out and a jeweler for the good pieces but stored the good stuff during covid as the shops were empty or closed..will have to beak them out, maybe $20k in good stuff waiting to sell.

Great annual set mate to get 2 cracking 50p's.  Also like the completer medallion.

And I bet nearly every single coin will be NIFC

Is that an open coin capsule? If so, not the best thing to do to your proof coin...

[TheShinyStuff]

Last few days of shiny deliveries. The Kong/Godzilla (for the kids😁😁) Poseidon cos it's cool and 2 Phils for the tube, that's 16 now. This will be my first full tube, the kid in me is quite excited.

 

[NewCoins]

My first gold sovereign, inspired by a very kind forum member who sent me some old coins. I normally buy new coins. I likely paid over the odds for it but happy with it anyway.

How would some of the more senior silver apes on the Silver Forum respond to this one? I have to follow their examples if I am to obtain their wisdom, maturity and self discipine...

Wait... I know!

Monkey see; monkey do?
