My stash/collection (Au, Pt, Pd & Ag in coins & medals) easily fits in 2 convenient sized, easy to carry grab bags of Black & Decker tool bags.

Love it. Heavy duty bags those.

what sort of weight do they hold? (Probably more than what my arms can!!)

Not sure of its max weight capacity rating but 10 kilograms in each is manageable to carry for a decent amount of time.

I like those gold coins bottom right what are they? Although are my eyes deceiving me or does it have the word C*NT on!?!?

Yes indeed! Who said Latin was boring?

Here's a better view at the gold.

They are 4 10 Gulden coins, with all four versions of Wilhelmina, heir to the throne as early as 11 years old. The two with heads up are from 1897 and 1898, the other two are from 1911 and 1925 showing the backside. 

There is also one golden Dubbele Dukaat. The weight is close to 1/4 oz, and the 10 Guldens closer to 1/5 oz.

They are really beautiful looking coins!

The one with the young princess usually commands a slightly higher premium due to its unrivalled beauty

The 1897 version was produced 450.000 times, but prior years just a couple of 100, which are also order of magnitude more valuable. There sheer bulk of 10 Guldens are more affordable since there are many millions of the many different versions in circulation, and as with many of our pre-euro currency, sitting unused in dumpsters waiting to be collected by people who still see value in them. Just from the latest design from 1925, 12 million pieces were produced over the years. I paid about 10% premium on these coins, but the rare ones can go for 1000's of euro's a piece. There are also rare editions of these more circulated coins with minimal design alterations, I have these rarer versions, which doesn't reflect in prize because they are still available in a relatively large quantity.

On that portrait facing to the left, Wilhelmina is 10 years old, and on the next version from 1898 11 years old, depicted with crown after the official inauguration. I'm not sure why she is facing the other way but it has to do with throne succession, I believe they face left after succession and to the right in later versions. For some reason they chose these younger portraits because she was 18 years old when she was inaugurated and these coins came out, but I think it has to do with her being the immediate successor at such a young age, despite her mother taking the role of regent during Wilhelmina's childhood.

Wow! They do look good in them cases. 100 sovs is my aim too

[AuricGoldfinger]

Originally i was aiming for 100 sovs then got distracted by queens beasts and Britannias lol. I think my very 1st post on the forum was how i hoped to get 100 sovereigns. Finally made it lol

Great achievement.  You have done well to keep on track and focus, despite the QB’s distraction 😃

[AuricGoldfinger]

Just need the greyhound to come out and then that’s me done for a bit unless there’s a big dip. Everything going back into storage which usually helps stop me wanting more lol.

Sorry one more question, did you just get ones you liked or is did you collect specific ones?

[AuricGoldfinger]

They are just bullion sovs, although have some shield back sovereigns and some jubilee Victoria ones, 2017, it’s a bit of a mix. And i like the QB

Been a long time since I last photographed my stack, so here goes. The pride of my collection is my Supreme Winner Pool table with Strachan 6811 tournament cloth that I took the pictures on 🤪🤪🤪 The quality of the pictures isn't the best as the light above the Pool table is very bright.

Last stack update for a while. See you all next year!

Silver stack mission complete. 

Took this photo the other day as I wave farewell to it all. This is for my kids, they like the sets specially the Kookaburra and some of the little ones in the second pic. The bars, tubes and cases with date runs are going into secure storage only to be visited when added to.

All the single coins I’m now selling off to add to Sovereigns or Brits. Well that’s the plan unless something tempts me 😆
