Bought this 1937 double Sovereign proof. Needs NCS and reslabbing

You must have a great collection.  Wow.

Today I found the One Quarter Ounce Pamp Suisse Fortuna Bar - It was unfortunetly part of jewelry - but It will serve its purpose until a mint condition one is found. Only one left is the never seen 8gm bar.

I noticed it a few days back on their bullion site & mentioned it on the gold deal thread. I never knew of them until then.

I don't think the RM had them for sale here, I bought the 1/10th last year. I think the quarter may have been for he US market only initially, probably a batch they could not punt.

Just bought 2 x 2015 milk spotted Britannias on ebay. They'll clean up easily

[KevinG]

Already have one of these but bought two more from the same seller.

I haven't been buying much as I have been busy closing on a buy to let in docklands.. well that is now closed and the tenant will move in at the beginning of May so I can now focus on the hobby a little bit more.

I have been looking for interesting things with some potential and just bought this item in eBay auction.



I love coins from this period. I have an 1812 Napoleon I 40 Frank and this got an AU55 when I graded it myself.

This one is 1815 and is a Louis coin.

My 2 latest additions this past week !!!

Someone been watching silvershodow videos ?

1987 5 oz Silver Panda Proof. First 5 oz proof of the series with a low mintage and none graded higher by NGC (didn't check PCGS). Verified with the seller prior to purchase that there's no toning, milking or spotting on the coin.  Looks to be a great specimen.  Gonna send it along to @Numistacker for reslabbing in the scratch resistant holder and the panda label.

UPDATE: Yup, no PR70s from PCGS either and a total of 348 PF/PR69s between the two TPGs!

Nice coin, I keep trying to collect one of each type of gold 20F size coin from across Europe as that would cover many designs - I am a long way from this as there are lots from about 1800!
