Today I bought.....

[watchesandwhisky]

Sounds Like you got some Damn good deals then!:) 

Im interested to see what I can accumulate Sub £12 delivered this year, but really the cost per ounce is of the most important, as long as its .999 purity thats all that matters

Current price per ounce average over 45 ounces is £11.22 delivered at the moment. £12 is the max! 

Will be looking to offload when I can sell in the £20/25 range is the plan..but realistically if we had a big price rise I might feel different. I do like this challenge though because its not hard to imagine a decent profit on anything bought at these prices:)

Yeah, some very fair deals made.

I didn't think sub-12 would be as easy, either that or I have bought the easy stuff and now it gets hard [emoji1]

I must be just under 700oz now and guessing the average is £11.70 but I haven't updated the spreadsheet yet.

I have gone over the 12 mark for some coins I deemed more valuable but I may swap them out if I get obsessed with £/oz. Ha ha.

I'm looking to offload a long time from now, but a big price rise may affect the timing!!!

[watchesandwhisky]

That's an extremely impressive cost average over 700 ounces!  I will be very pleased if I can get to that level. 

I don't think Sub £12 is particularly easy but I don't think its Impossible neither, I think the key will probably being picky with when to buy, unless its a great deal I will just pass. The last few years I was in a rush to buy but now I seem content to just wait out good deals and ebay vouchers ect. 

Lets see how long that lasts

I prefer the Metalor to the Umicore, more satisfying for some reason.

They are not sources that have more, private sales mostly.

Young head Victoria sovereigns, one of my favourites... Beautiful example you have bought there!

[sovereignsteve]

From those scans, it looks like one of Jon Blyth's coins, good dealer, nice coin.

Interesting series, the Sydney 1881 - 1887. Although Marsh gives several of them a scarce rating, the Spink catalogue doesn't reflect this. Like most of these branch mints, the prices are largely determined by the Australian market.

I'll be interested to see what it grades as (I assume you'll do so). I would guess about AU57-59

Yes Jon thinks it might get ms61 so it will be interesting to see. I wanted a Sydney sov and don't really have enough shields

 

This one sold recently by Jon went for 550 and he thinks mine is similar.

You back on the 50% bus MS?

[watchesandwhisky]

Nope still going for .999 @ £12 or less, but I will pick up pre 1947 if the price is tasty, the 275 grams was 13p a gram:)

Edit*, not counting the price of the pre 47 on my cost average for the .999

A 2016 Panda MS70 at £40 delivered. Better than buying one and grading myself. I bought a sheet of 15 that I will keep in the sheet and have one graded one at 69 or 70 for each year (building a set slowly)

 

[lightjaw]

Bought an 1883 s ms63 Morgan dollar for £40 and a 5 reichsmark 1938 e for £13 at the midland coin fair. Always wanted a graded Morgan dollar and £40 seemed fine with me, no idea if that was good/bad/normal or not  . Dont know if it's just me, but the prices seem a lot more reasonable there today.

[Bigchilli]

Nothing too impressive but ordered one of these little beauties from coininvest today

 

[Guest]

Just picked this up in the USA. Won't see it till March

 

[Danny-boy]

I bought three Apmex 10oz bars.

Kindly purchased in the USA for me by a very kind forum member.

Can't wait to get them, liking bars at the moment [emoji1]
