My last photo-post of 2023!…….

In the centre is the shiny ‘Red Devil’ mostly by IRB & JC  I really don’t like this Sovereign which is why I only  collect 1/4 oz gold now. The light puts a different spin on each of the surrounding bullion QBs, but I know that in hand they are what gold coins should look and feel like!. Of course for comparison at the bottom is the popular ‘Gillick’. Let’s hope the yellow gold comes back to the Sovereign stable.

….and a peaceful New Year in 2024.

Hi this is interesting. Anyone here that can give me some idea what is going on here.

Used on silver slide. Sticks to it?

expect to be gold plated US eagle. But this isn’t right. Also used sigma pro. No good. Is it fake. All the other painted eagles come up fine on sigma pro mini. 🤔 

@James32 @Chards any ideas guys?

That gold coin is actually magnetically stuck to the slide. Seems rather odd as the set looks so legit with good provenance from seller. 🤔

Can only be a fake

I know sometimes a geniune silver coin can be coated in nickel or have Iron in the mix ( very possible the gold plate is mixed with nickel or iron ) and have a magnetic reaction, there was a video about it recently. 

Tbh for a stress free life and to save hassle on future resale, I'd just treat as fake and seek a refund. Imagine trying to explain the situation to next buyer? 😆

Thanks for the feedback. I bought the set of 5 for the price of 4 US eagles (that tested good on sigma pro mini) so let’s do a bit more testing. Be nice to find that link to the gold plate mixed with iron if anyone finds it. Thanks all the same for feedback.

If it was just the sigma being thrown then it could be a trace of Fe but to be stuck like that to the magnet I would expect more than just a tiny amount. Having said that I remember a video from (possibly) silver dragons? where he had a silver coin reacting with a magnet although I don't remember how dramatic reaction was.

To get the proper nice coin pictures you set up a light behind coin in a box. I saw this on a YouTube video. Impressive but complex setup with lighting in multiple directions from different light sources.

I'm also looking for a couple more KC2023 sovs. Atkinsons best price so far inc delivery. Most of the usual dealers have slowly added an extra premium on them. Bleyer, Gerards, Bairds, etc

Never tried Costco before for bullion purchases.

[Silverman2U]

What do people think on these?

Considering 5% - 10% over spot? Good price? Any interest? 
 
The gold lunar series are 1/20th Oz and ideally sold as one unit. A nice little collection there!  … probably 10% over spot on that collection with the mouse.

All the rest of products looking at 5% over spot. As you can see these are proof coins with COA and box but for a quick sale they will be listed as bullion grade here. 

PS. There’s a few British gold pound coins in there with no CGT.  

Will list in the next few weeks, if not sold elsewhere before. All tested with sigma Metalytics Pro Mini.

What do we think these are worth? More than scrap? Thoughts. … got more Russian metal. Including Olympics. Coming soon.
