Proof 2012 double sovereign from eBay (fingers crossed all good when it arrives - QR code scanned OK at least). Just need to get it crossed over to NGC once I get it in hand. Trying to work out if £1400 was a good deal - feels like a decent price to me

That will look great in hand!😮🤔

Great deal. Would keep it in PCGS though. Only 23 PR70s at PCGS, whereas NGC census has 84.

Great buy! My 69 cost £1,000.

Finally managed to get hold of the 2017 SOTD plain edge Sovereign (having a degree of success on eBay at the minute - hopefully not jinxing it)

Today I bought 2 x 2023 Reverse Proof Morgan and Peace dollar dmsetd when I only ordered 1 got charged for 2 and so now 2 are coming. I also got a 1951 FoB proof set, a royal cypher 1oz silver bullion from RM and a 2023 definitive proof set.

Picked these 2 up today from the flea market/car boot at Fuengirola for €5 for the pair. Haven't weighed or magnet tested them yet ... will do when I get home ... but they make a nice ringing sound when struck so I'm hoping I got a real bargain!

Oh dear, I guess these are fake then. Glad it didn't cost me much to find out 😂

Oh nice pick up! These seem a bit pricey form and that’s for the non SOTD. I may have to settle for the one with the 200 mark by the date.

Unlucky mate but at that price I’d have taken that gamble too….👍🏻

Called into Chard's today. Didn't realise they were appointment only....but they let me in.

Not sure about all the ID requirements..... Dave's bullion down the market doesn't ask for ID, he's same price as well. I like to be an international man of mystery not handing over my knicker size ☹️

[SovereignBull]

Seeing as I’ve paid in full I can now say I bought this beauty today 😍

No I'm done for this month. Think I'm going to buy silver next month to finish a tube.

Just annoy them … get an appointment and go in for a chat or see how many coins you can ask to see before they chuck you out🤔🫢

[Lancashire1]

I was expecting an American style coin shop with piles of silver to sift through 🤣

Nah it's dodgy Dave's bullion down the market for me from now on....

Can I ask how much u paid please? This one’s on my list I need to understand if it’s out of reach! Might need to settle for the privy mark if it’s a lot 😢

please dm if u don’t want to say on post 🙏🏼 

[SovereignBull]

Yet again the Silver stuff draws me into another purchase I don’t have the money for!!! I’m meant to just be buying sovereigns ffs! 
 

This time it’s a 1oz Germania mint 2023 bank of Malta from silver trader

At £30 delivered it seemed fairly reasonable and a lovely looking coin

No probs. I picked mine up on eBay (ungraded) for £842 a couple months ago (I think) but I’ve a feeling that was a very good deal 👍🏼

Thanks and as I thought thats a bit rich for me at the mo. I’m kinda somewhere between 500 - 600 a maximum single purchase.

I guess a privy mark it is then if one pops up.

PayPal credit will be the end of me although very useful if you just need to get some retail coins!

Picked these up today with money I don’t have!

Had to have that amazing coronation design & couldn’t really afford the beautiful gold version (not even the 1/40th) so settled on the 1oz Silver! £20 over the original RM listing price so not a bad deal!
