On your way to 2 full sets! That's madness. You will then have to collect all of the 3coin sets

No Chris as you know I've got the full set of Lunar 2oz S1 proofs plus a few spares but I haven't got the full set of 2oz Bu's I set off late with these LOL but now I just need the ox.

 

Re 3 coin sets I'm not going to collect  them I just fancied that one and bought it with some other S1 proofs but you've all seen them before so I haven't posted pics.

My mind skip read the bu. When I see motorbikz my mind automatically thinks proofs.

Funny that I also associate MB with Proofs!!!!

Just picked up a 2013 Silver proof Britannia 5 coin set. For a few minutes I thought I'd got it for £125, but I'm happy enough at just over £150 for the set. That's me officially skint for the next few months

Just looked up Proof Coinage on google (Wikipedia) and here is what it says.

[motorbikez]

Yeah right LOL

It's all monkey business this coin stuff.

Question is whether the next monkey will pay a little more ))

Oi you, I was looking at that........  ........But then I had to go out unexpectedly this evening, and missed it.   However before I left I did chuck in a single bid on a 2000 £1 Piedfort proof, which I surprisingly got for £22 

[Guest]

Picked up a couple of GB Lunar horse proofs in the USA. Might now add the sheep too.

Sounds like my sort of coin fair, being the old gossip that I am, any more details?

[Danny-boy]

I thought it was more a hive of beige Farrah's and brown hush puppies.

I wanted to go, but had parent duties today.

Not much there to float your boat LJ?

What mint marks were the 5RM?

lots of offensive body odours, desperate looking men, over priced gold/silver, pushing and shoving. I dont want to be unpleasant too much, but honestly. Its the 21st century, we have showers and deodorant and everything!
