Something a bit different for me,but think it might be my way forward for a wee while.

London 1858. And I got these for scrap value plus post. 😁😁

Unspectacular collector-wise, but from an investment viewpoint the smartest thing I can think of right now (with the WEF already talking about the next upcoming pandemic, which is supposed to be a cyber attack and will pale the last plandemic) : a CGT free tube of 25 Britannias. Thanks again to @arshimo2012

Received this today. Very happy with it, unfortunately had to pay more than RM price but @Chrisplym was a pleasure to deal with. Great packaging and also very fair and reasonable with the price - enough room for both of us to feel happy with the transaction i hope.
 

Also @Paul offered some very useful advice on what is my first proof purchase, so thanks to him also!

Belting coin 

[morezone]

Last year I wound everything down with the final purchases of the QBs gold bullions.  Then recently the QB completer came out so had to grab that as well and that should have been the end.  But...there was one coin which I should have picked up years ago but there was always something else to buy so I'd always put it off for another day.  Over the bank holiday weekend I decided to make one final purchase and here it is.  I already have the 2, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 but just needed this to finish off the set. Unlike it's little brothers which are stored away and haven't been seen for years, this beast is going to be my fondling piece which will sit at my desk.  Hopefully the .900 alloy will hold up well otherwise it'll end up getting a bit dinged and scuffed.

@morezone you retiring on the metals ? 

No more purchases ever again ?

More or less.  Stopped back in 2018 and only continued with the QBs.  Time for me to start building my SIPP and other investments.

One of my favourites. Its a decent solid coin that looks to good to be true. 

Nice purchase, nice price too!

Saw that on the forum the other day and was very tempted also.

I should avoid my local high street when only visiting town for a short trip. Picked this 1912 half sovereign earlier in the local bullion shop.

My latest PCGS submission came back. These are the regular size slabs (two are double thickness), I will present the large ones in another post. Some notes:

• One came back as "Details", it seems I can't avoid these completely but I have become better... 🙄
• The Austrian medal had come back as "non eligible" from NGC and now it got a great SP69, nice surprise! 😎
• NGC had also refused to grade my Iranian gold coin. Something that had to do with sanctions, which I couldn't understand, as this was from before the Islamic revolution. And they have graded several such Pahlavi coins. Anyway PCGS had no such issue and got a respectable MS65. 🧐
• I am glad that the peculiar octagonal medal was graded, I was not sure about that. It sits a little sideways in the slab but maybe it has to do with the unusual shape.
• Two went in thick slabs and especially glad about the Spanish medal, again was not sure if they will slab it.

Overall pretty happy and it proved that if one company refuses to grade something, you can always try the other one. PCGS seems very knowledgeable with European medals but I had problems with some American ones. I send all the US medals to NGC now and if something fails, I will try PCGS too.

Wow it's SHOCKING that NGC doesn't want to grade Iranian gold coins (old ones) due to "sanctions". How pathetic and petty to push their politics onto international collectors. It shouldn't happen, I mean at least if we call ourselves civilized or intelligent and reasonable.

I think they are not allowed to ship in US or something similar. Which is kind of stupid, because this coin didn't come from Iran and such items can be outside the country for decades or even centuries. Anyway PCGS didn't have a problem, maybe they grade them in Europe...? 🤔

I can't sell them on eBay either. I can get round it by calling them Persian but never really bothered as I find it really bizarre that they are banned in the first place.
