It should work. I just tested it in an incognito tab.

Perhaps we blocked you?

Works now, the obverse is rare for a reason ?

Nice to see someone else who likes the royal coat of arms.  I didn't take to the Krug at all, but I do love the Buffalo and Libertads.  I'd add the Lunar series, my current favourite is the 2022 Perth mint year of the tiger, closely followed by the 2017 Rooster. 

I'm surprised nobody has suggested the QB completer, unless I've missed a post.

The completer is a lovely coin but I think the idea is a coin series rather than 1 offs?

How about this for a rarely seen coin:

Dutch Lion Dollar

 1 of 200.

[dicker]

Britannias - any date

Nuggets

Kangaroos (any before the vile current rendering of QEII, which I find very unappealing)

Double Eagles

St Gaudens

Double eagles I think that's the 1st nomination for that 1. Google.images here I come👍

[Roy]

Although technically not a 1oz coin, 30.09g, the St. Gaudens has my vote too!

😜

[Roy]

They used to command a premium, for a bullion coin, but I don't know if that's still the case?

Folk are fickle.

[Fenlander1]

Just Google the st gaudens it a nice looking coin.

About six years ago I was tasked with buying £10k worth of gold on behalf of a family member.  Back then you could buy new 1 oz coins from a dealer for about £1000 delivered.  I chose seven 1oz coins and a 100g Metalor cast bar.

The seven coins I chose were basically a World gold collection for countries the family member had been to, plus 3 UK coins including their Lunar year of birth.  I chose:

Buffalo (this is my favourite non-UK modern 1oz bullion gold coin)

Maple

Kangaroo

Philharmoniker

Britannia

QB Griffin (this was the current release at the time of purchase - in hindsight, this was a good decision)

Lunar Rooster

 

My own favourite 1oz Bullion coins (all UK) are:

QB Lion, Dragon and Completer

Royal Arms

2018 Oriental Border Britannia

Two Dragons.

When and if the RM release the Gold Standard in 1oz bullion, that one will be added to this list.  I love that design in 1/4 oz 🙂

Dragon on the qb series is nice

Anything with 4 legs gets my vote.

I forgot the krugerrand ffs... 

Wip out whatever and add a krug.

It's understandable James, it's only natural for the brain not to locate the turd coloured springbok when thinking of gold.

Bring on the rebuttals

RM too busy churning out memorial this and that to every dead and living monarch, and every pop group they can think of to get their a*** in gear with decent coins.

Well guys and gals carrying on this thread I have finally compiled my 1st incarnation of a world 10 in 1oz gold.

From the top left to right.

Eagle

Buffalo

Dbl Eagle (replace with Libertad)

Krugerrand 

Maple 

Elephant 

Philharmonic 

Panda

Royal arms

Kangaroo 

Some will get swapped out eventually as they come along just out of personal preference.

But all in all it has been fun sourcing all these coins and compiling a set.

All coins came from the forum apart from the Elephant and Philharmonic. (Not through lack of trying)

Thanks to all those members that helped me compile this set
