1,000 x 2020 gold Britannias

Looks like we timed the purchase badly, we are down about £40 an ounce today.

Anyone want to buy some at cost price?

We do have 1/4 ounces, but they are called sovereigns!

If you mean quarter ounce Brits, no, the premiums on new coins are too high IMO, but sovereigns are relatively competitive, although of course they are not exact 1/4 ounces.

Ah I have a thing for the 1/4 oz brits. Almost a fetish

Just bought another 110 oz of silver with Goldmoney. God the supply must be tight!

Not buying much more physical silver as I have storage issues. I got some in my locker at work!

But overall, I now have about 1500 oz.

[Cointreau]

Just ordered  a 1900  20 dollar dollar eagle and two YHV sovs from Atkinsons. I can't help myself. I love the old stuff.

I doubt they've got much stock left.

[LawrenceChard]

Some bullion sovereigns:

There were more

[Gildeon]

Going around it for some time and finally pulled the trigger! Not cheap but pretty rare coin and if gold continues like this, it may worth as much as bullion in a few months. 🧐

 

[RacerCool]

OK normally I wouldn't do this but I paid the current high premium on silver and scored a roll of Franklin half dollars. Look how BU they are!

Just bought this 1990 proof sovereign from Sterling Numismatics, a local West Australian dealer. This fills one of the gaps in my QEII proof sovereign date run.

Used to have some of these. They look fantastic in antique mate

Air-Tite A22mm Direct Fit capsules. 

My plan is that hopefully sovereigns should just about squeeze into them, as the 22mm capsules should have a little extra space and the sovereigns are only 0.05mm over 22mm.

[Tattoedamat]

Love the seahorses

[RacerCool]

Added another roll of BU silver dimes, and three more modern half eagles to the stack: 1988, 1991, 2018. The middle one is the 2018 rose gold half eagle, the only rose gold coin the US Mint has ever produced (as far as I know).

I bought a 1971 Bahamas 9 coin set because I wanted the 50c, $1, $2, and $5 (all .925) for my collection however there is a problem...

The $5 is an absolute mammoth of a coin with a diameter of 45mm! (and a whopping weight of 42g! of .925 silver)

Now whilst it's great to have a coin with well over a Toz of pure silver in it, I store my coins in lighthouse flips in plastic sleeves in a folder and the largest lighthouse flips made are 39.5mm- significantly smaller than the diameter of this massive coin (a crown is 38.6mm for comparison).

The reason for posting here is that I can't think of a solution to this problem and wanted to have one in place for when the coin arrives. If anyone can help with this there is a small prize (don't get too excited) for the best solution to make the coin look in place in my folder (attached).

Currently the best I can think is to cut out a 46mm circular hole in the lighthouse flip (2"x 2") and somehow use clingfilm to create the plastic sheet 😂

How did that work out for you? I did the same, a Young Victoria sat in there great, 2020's move fore and aft as not gripped tight enough 🤪

American coins rock. You get a much better choice of low cost circulation coins too compared to the UK, lucky!

My silver coin is too big for my collection 😄 It's in times like these though that we all need a hobby and release
