Two more gold 1967 added to the collection, Peru 10 Soles and Turkey 25 Kurush. Will be going for grading sooner or later. 🧐

A day off today, so a nice little drive to Royal Wootton Bassett, to see my new friends at @BritanniaCoinCompany, the plan being to buy another sovereign. 

However I timed it just right as they were reducing a load of silver flatware items, basically because they had too much stock, and it was being sold at spot + 10%. Which considering only last week I was paying more than that on eBay and thinking I had a bargain, I just had to have a rummage around and see what I could find. 

First off, they reduced the price of a lovely silver double sovereign holder. (Obviously this wasn't 10% above spot, but I did get it for a major bargain). Superb condition, springs and lock work perfectly. When I got home and researched the hallmarks, it appears that it was made by HV Pithey & Co, and whilst the case was hallmarked in Chester in 1913, the date letter on the coin holding centre part had a different style letter n, indicating this part was hallmarked in London in 1908. Now the company was a London company that hallmarked in both Chester and London, and it seems when they built the case they put parts from different assays together.

The other silver piece I got was a heavy silver key commemorating the 21st birthday of Prince Charles in 1969. It weighs over 3ozt and I got it for 10% over spot, made by Turner and Simpson Ltd in Birmingham in 1969. It should shine up very nice with a bit of Goddard's. 

Oh and I got a nice 1900 Queen Vic sov, which when I got home I noticed it was a Melbourne one. Happy days.

So if anyone is in the area, they've got a silver sale on, grab the bargains while you can.

Doing a bit more research on the key, It appears they were commissioned by the Mayfair coin company in a limited edition of 1000. I've noticed on the edge of my key there is a number "171". Boxed examples with certificates have been going for twice the price I paid, so I've not done too bad.

How wonderful to have an actual use for a double sovereign holder!

I found a good deal on this 1987 Mexican 1/4 ounce commemorative of the US constitution.  This time it wasn't part of the set it typically comes in, which helped make it a good deal. And being a stacker/collector of 1/4 ounce coins, and of Mexican coins in particular, I had been watching for a good deal on one for a long time now.

I just bought a 2020 silver eagle v75 which obviously don't have in had yet but its my first capture from the US mint..shame it wasnt the gold for a nice buy to sell of upto $5000  is like an una ... lol.

[Pampfan]

Was able to get my hands on one of these from the mint today. What a crazy event - took 25 minutes of refreshing of the webpage and non-stop persistence. 

[DHunt94]

@Pampfan Same here took me the best part of 45 minutes, did anyone else manage to get one before all of the scalpers

Yup, paid regular mail and with this trumps formed mail system it might take a while

I was in what is fast becoming my favorite local coin shop, and came across this. Condition-wise, it's rough, but I have wanted to add a Capped Bust coin to my collection for some time, so she looks beautiful to me.

Ordered this 1oz silver bar today which has a mintage of 1000.

[shawy2510]

Today I woke up at 2:30am to win these 2 Half Sovs

1876 is highest graded at either company & 1904 is 2nd highest but looks undergraded so hopefully it will go for regrading.

 

[UncommonSeal]

Attractively designed (and packaged!) 8g 999 Silver 2020 LNY Commemorative Coin . . . it’s of course not LNY 2020, but these are still widely available locally - of course at a substantial premium, but I have a use for them

[Richiesilver]

Just nabbed this to go with my full pf70 2020. Now do I get the double too......hmm. £352 for this delivered and they still have more.
