Just wondering if I'm stuck at the 5 sovereign goal or as my collection is missing some of the more expensive and rarer sovereigns could I swap the goal to get one of those to the value of what I manage to save?

I've got a sovereign you can have for that, I'll even throw in postage

Someone told me you were a brass dealer. What year and mint? I might have it though.

2024 my shed mint

But if you're actually interested then it's the young head I have up on ungraded 😅

I have seen it to be honest. I have this year and mint sorry. I'm trying to stick to the coins needed at the moment. Although, under spot gold is tempting.

Of course, I think Paul made this great idea more to allow ourselves to purchase a nice Christmas present near end of 2024 without stress and budgeting issues.

It’s only a £ target, you can spend it on whichever PM’s best fit in your collection then good sir.

I've got a 1872 and 1871 too I think

Think they are London mints

Any good?

Chop and change to whatever you fancy at the end of the savings period - The bigger/rarer the better!

I have those. I have done a list on a wanted post excluding the Rare + ones I hope to save up for here. (sorry @Paul for highjacking your topic)

It's really my half share of an undated 20p. She's a beauty in hand.

There are 28 rare + Sovereigns on the hit list with, if I'm honest, Most of them un-obtainable and down to 51 of the common to rare ones to complete the collection. For this year at least. Then I could start on all the variants 🤣🤣🤣

Check if it has a date. You may have a full share in an undated 20p. Unlike myself with just a half stake

No money update for the first week in March. Just a few pictures of big lumps of machinery that I need to do something with. The JCB and the Princeton fork truck hasn't been started for just over 10 years since the heart attack.

Just don't know what's best to do with them. Believe it or not the old dumper fired up and ran. Last time I started it was perhaps 5 or 6 years ago. God I've collected some weird and wonderful stuff over the years.

Well the more space you have the more junk you collect 🙄

We had 6000 sq ft of covered sheds, the burglars had a field day 🖖

Not good. However, Most of the stuff round my place has had the landfill site manager calling for it for some time now. We have had undesirables snooping on the odd occasion but its either been too heavy or unwanted. The dog's have help deter most I think. Hope you didn't loose too much to the light fingered fairy's.

If you can’t, then get someone to take a look at them. Few bits sorted and fresh liquids they will be fine, then flog🤔😮

With the new speed limits, a couple of those vehicles would make excellent daily drivers.

The dumper is my favourite. Only because I hated the JCB song. Although it might be changed to speeding down the by pass these day's instead of holding up the by pass.
