Today I bought.....

[Guest]

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!

I first saw 1800 and thought there were 1800 designs )) I will try to get a Napoleon 1 20f and then perhaps a 100f piece to add some variety.

Won an email bid at Lockdales auction. My first Roman coin. Caligula. Always had a soft spot for that since seeing Helen Mirren when I was a teenager.



Will have it graded by NGC Antique Coins and feature it on the channel.

Thats a nice Roman coin! I gave all my Roman coins (not as good as that to my kids), thats the thing of living in a former Roman city poor quality coins are easily found.  

Edit  Just want to say better coins are very hard to find.

Just bought a silver Britannia anniversary privy......

i got some of these. It is good they came in capsules unlike the standard Britannias. I also did not realise there was such a thing as RM 1/4oz gold lunars.

Came back to work today to find an invoice from an online auction held last week - I'd forgotten I'd placed bids on a few items a couple of weeks ago.

I won my first gold half eagle ($5) - 1897.

Reading different American dealers sites, the 1/4 oz gold lunar issue started with the 2015 sheep. Two sites mention the mintage was 5000 BU for this year whilst another site mentions a maximum mintage of 10,000, which may include bullion grade.

Just bought another 1997 Canadian silver maple. This is either the 7th or 8th I've bought which I will be sitting on for quite some years. I've been lucky in getting previous ones very cheap.

Today I bought..."The Queen's Beasts The Lion of England" 1oz silver proof coin. Not many left on the RM site bow. 90% sold.

[Lindeman]

Quite a bit of silver over the last few days / weeks. 5x Kook 2017s, QB Griffins, 15 QB Dragons, 50 Britannias (for a friend), a few of those for myself, and a PF70 QB lion proof (excited to see that one) and a few others in OMP, and 3 gold quarter QB dragons. 

Needed to recover from my grading grief from NGC in Numistackers recent round !

Beautiful large coin but thin, it is really easy to bend them!

As a stacker I tend to overlook the premium series, but I just scooped some absolute bargains from Celticgold who seemed to be flogging Lunar 2 goats like they were going out of fashion

I got - 

Lunar II Goat 2oz Silver Coin 2015 @ 37.27EUR

Lunar II Goat 1/2oz Silver Coin 2015 @ 9.70EUR

Lunar II Goat 5oz Silver Coin 2015 @ 93.86EUR

I think I completely cleaned them out of available stock at those prices

i got a couple from Hatton Garden Metals as they were something i wanted. They are a big face coin, making a good show but really quite thin, like Medieval coins.

One of the benefits of getting in coins for grading is I get to see special coins and I just ordered a Tuvalu dragon Antique 2017



Mintage 1000 sold out at Perth mint.

I bought mine for issue price at Talisman Coins in the USA.

Wait until you see this coin in person...it's gonna blow your mind.  Talisman is by far the best place to pick these up...but probably not much longer though with a 1000 mintage.  Great score Numi!

I have one in the May grading from@backyardbullion video up soon. That is the reason I immediately went out and bought one! It is a great coin and the mintage is very low for something like this.

[Agpanda]

I got me some more graded pandas today

a 1993 Small date NGC MS 69

a 2003 mirror NGC MS 70

Not cheap but need them

They are amazing coins for sure. I have a second one which I have kept for now...but now I am thinking it might be a good idea to send them both in to see if we can get an MS70 on at least one of them! Thoughts?

Wow, what an idiot I am! You did say in your original post you had a chance to see it...I was trying to think of a good excuse for my bonehead post...I got nothin'. Nevertheless, great purchase!
