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:

• 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 sure this is for fear of US government sanctions. While there are valid arguments for sanctions in general, it is too easy for powerful players, like the US government to use bully-boy tactics, and act like would-be dictators.

I noticed a later comment mentioned submitting it as Persian, and I always try to differentiate between past and present country names.

When it is a historic artefact, it strikes me that applying sanctions is an attempt to rewrite history.

It stikes me as bad that NGC would refuse to grade Iranian coins, but I wonder if this is NGC company policy, or simply an employee interpreting rules mindlessly. With big companies, particularly American ones, it is often difficult to find out, and frustrating trying to.

Do ebay and Amazon permit listings of Weimar Republic coins, some of which have Nazi symbolism? This is only a (semi) rhetorical question. If they still permit them this week, they may ban them next week, particularly if someone complains. 🙂

A mixed lot of deliveries! Totally in love with this Saudi Guinea 😍

[MickB]

Bought my missus a watch earlier and the jeweller threw in the silver coin for free 

[ilovesilverireallydo]

My favourite pick ups of all time. 1/10oz pure 9999 gold animals. Should have been a set of 12 (zodiac) but three were damaged beyond recovery so a set of 9. Stunning pieces.

It would be easy to Google this, but I like to think I’m not the only ignoramus on the forum......so please tell more and we can all benefit!! What’s the difference and how do you know (aside from the NGC label!!!)

Imagine if you’d bought the coin and they threw in the watch. 😆

[GoldDiggerDave]

My replacement 1oz gold Una and The Lion bar.

First one was sent with the plastic case smashed.  

Looking forward to see if they offer a 3 graces bullion bar.

My large slabs from PCGS. Four silver, one bronze and one silver/bronze. Some are definitely the first ones graded from their type.

 

[LiquidMetalsUK]

Also a nice toned victory to go with my enamel 

[darkninja1985]

Might not be much of a coin but manage to get this at a pretty decent deal off eBay

 

[modofantasma]

Another one of those horse riding coins 

[matt1r]

Pretty good haul today and that’s without the bullion 😊

Type 2 is the new reverse eagle design that will feature on ASE coins going forward  thus 2021 type 1 and type 2 will be low mintage compared to other years as there only minted for half the year. I intend to grab as many graded as possible for the deep stack. Just a bonus that ASE is my favourite bullion coin 😀😀

[Scaffstacker]

Some nice bits through the post this weekend, 

two more 1 gram bars to fill my pamp box slowly with another three this Friday haha,

a royal mint card which think me has me hooked for more, and a heraues one thanks  to @Gordy @AndrewSL76

[TheDoc]

The postman was nice to me today. My 1st Libertad in the collection. A random 1oz round, Morgan Dollar a 1oz U.S. Dollar and a Yugoslavian 1000 Dinara along with 2 Vatican commemorative coin sets.
