Received my 15% ebay Sov from BBP ... very nice 1981 bullion coin, very happy with it.
 

5 oz proof Pre Colombian series.

I dont post in this area often (well this is the first time since being a member).
1st up, I ordered one of the lovely wooden boxes from @Alun for my daughters Marvel coins set ,
Here is some of the specs before the pictures (which were rushed as I my back went last week and I am still suffering).
Packaging - Royal Mail proof, would even go to say 'Yodel throwing over back gate proof'
Dispatch time - Dispatched next day, informed via PM, came within 2 days, 2nd class signed for
Box construction - Solid ash, high quality construction, smaller than expected (which is a good thing)
Price - Classified, but when has quality been cheap, not cheap, not expensive, just right.
Other notes - Element of future proof added into it, there is 'alleged' to be only 6 coin in the set, but he has a secret compartment (which would suit a tiny pistol) for any future releases and to save you money and space.
 
Below is the box with a tiny Belgian FN Browning model 1906 .25 calibre, made in 1914 for size comparison (gun measures only 4" long), these pistols were used for concealed carry, by agents, females being large customers of them and them even coming with sequinned purse holsters, the gun was manufactured from 1906 until 1952 production only stopping during both world wars, the gun and its ammuntion was designed by John Browning and was the first pistol to fire the .25 ACP (or 6.35mm), this gun sparked 100's of clones that are still being manufactured to this day.

 

 

 

Mrs BYB and I bought some sovereigns for 97.65% of spot price - and they arrived already!
First time ever using BBP and it was because of a 15% eBay voucher!

I know I received this a few days ago and I have already posted the pictures but I absolutely love this coin... I planned to sell it eventually but I am not even sure I will, anyway these are pictures taken in a better light than the previous ones.

I have a yellow one!
 

Furia Sabinia Tranquillina. I'll send it to NGC, hope it is authentic.

Nothing ultra rare here, but still very collectable.

20 x Australia sovereigns

Thanks to @kneehow2018 for the safe delivery of this beautiful coin.


 

1841 - Unbarred As  ?

Unusual for Special Deliveries to arrive on Saturdays: first parcel from "agent" Numi with some top grade gold and fine silver (and also a silver grading learning experience)

Today i bought:
1/20 OZ Gold Libertad 2018 
1/10 OZ Gold Libertad 2018
1/4 OZ Gold Libertad 2018

Yes this is a problem so i worked a work around. Use the spacebar - go forwards say a couple of spaces - you have created the buffer. Then use the arrows to go back those spaces - the spaces still exist on the page. Do the @mr-dead  then use the arrows and go forwards into the space you created and you don't get caught up in the username.
