Today I bought.....

[Petra]

These new Perth Mint coins are available to pre order at Chards and are a reasonable price😮

[Whitebulldog]

Weird one but it's still silver so hopefully in scope! I like cut half pennies because they are a conversation starter. This one is from ****.

Lol... apparently the censors assume the Danish King of England's name is an anagram of some other word...

Seems to be quite a few silver coins graded from Australia that are not seen often especially from royal Australian mint. Seems to be more of he Perth mint which is seen this side of the water.

Have a few of the RAM kangaroos, much better than the Perth Mint stuff😮😮

Walking past my local H&T Pawnbrokers and saw this 1981 1oz Gold Krugerrand priced for £1775. Checked my phone and spot is at £1920. I walked in and asked the guy if that was the price?

He said "yes £1775, sorry but I can't move on that price" 🤩🤑😂

[Lancashire1]

1918 sovereign and 3 silver Britannias 

[ant1882]

2000 proof sovereign.

Slight mark on the coin will probably clean up (not by me lol), but boxed with cert not bad... This place are selling regular bullion for the same price 😂

I put the wrong price 😂😂

[Antwerpstacker]

2 italian 20 lire coins and an impulsive silver putchase from my lcs

 

[CoinCupboard]

A little rescue mission today from coin/antique shop. Plucked this from a charm bracelet to save it from the melting pot. 

Workmanship was too nice to see it getting scrapped. 

I gave my Mrs the choice, she can keep it if she likes it or I punt it on. She's keeping it. 😁

Also this wee toned 2005 Brit needed a new home too. 😎

[Organics]

Three Young heads to add to the collection.

Two 1860 Shield full Sovereigns and an 1885 Shield half sovereign. 

🙏🙏🙏

Of course the Gold Price has dropped today. Yesterday I purchased the largest gold coin I now own - a Quintuple Sovereign.

 

Now I just have to resist the urge to open the packaging 😋

Waiting nervously...

Forgive me father, for i have sinned  

Today, Ive bought some silver 🤮 (but its posh fancy PF70 silver)

It is very like "gold" to the eye if you are dyslexic, cant read & have no sense of weight 

 

Could find very few confirmed sales in PF70 one recent sale on FeeBay earlier this month for same price and last previous only sale on CoinCabinet was 2021 at £525 nothing on COTR/BSJ or LondonCoins auctions 

As Ive got the platinum jubilee bits in PF70 its nice to get this - hope Ive not seriously overpaid for not even an oz of the silver shiny  

Any thoughts anyone ?

To be honest @Petra I wouldn’t mind the price falling a bit further and then I might consider buying a second. Except I don’t think the second coin would remain sealed for too long. There’s just something about gold which makes me want to fondle it. It could replace my Krugerrand as my new pocket piece.

A couple of years ago I had a one ounce Platinum Britannia as a pocket piece, until I dinged it on the marble floor of a bathroom when I forgot it was in my back trouser pocket.

All pocket pieces since are now kept in a little fabric pouch 😌

P.S. I haven’t received this yet which is why I didn’t put it in the “today I received” thread. The photos are of the actual coin provided to me by the seller and it will be in my possession tomorrow.

Asking £399

Buying silver gilt during Chelsea week sounds like some subliminal messaging going on! 😄

Must admit, I have a couple of large gold plated silver coins which I'm hoping will resist milk spots and tarnishing better than plain silver would.  (I did only pay silver price for them though.)

[CoinCupboard]

It was scrappage scheme day at local coin shop, so took the lot. 

Some nice bits in there, some for the albums, some date fillers until I get better ones etc. 

Some lovely German sweetheart coins in the mix too, not something I'd keep, but the history and work engraving them is nice. 

Anyone speak German? 😅

[Thelonerangershorse]

Quick scrub with a brillo pad should bring those up a treat.
