@Mark1234 Intriguing. I have 2 sovs coming next week that are outliers in my collection plan so something might work but I can’t for a few days so happy to see how this works thru on the wider group .. clive

Thanks so much everyone I was absent at the end as we are celebrating my wife’s retirement with a superb trip. I am winning an auction every weekend so I hope this continues for the rest of April . I sold some cgt liable gold last week & this 5g bar is part of proceeds . I am engaged in my wife’s weekend but I will pay up & honour my commitment . Of course I will Clive

23 mins early for the winning £291 ‘worth my weight in gold… no darling, not with spot at £1900…’

Morning TSF I started out collecting an ‘element’ collection, but thankfully got distracted by PMs & Platinum, Palladium & Rhodium. And then I found gold coins. I am looking to cycle back a bit & add any special Platinum or Palladium graded to my collection. I’d be keen to what pieces any of you have. I am trying to not be specific . I have the 2017 Palladium Eagle (first year of issue), & various parts of the 2007 & 8 Britannia Platinum series in grades. Though neither of the 1oz £100 in 70. I also have the 1/4 run of Britannia Pt from 2017. thanks . Look forward to hearing from you Clive

Perfect @Clockpuncher if it comes out at 70 I’ll pay 9.1% above the surging spot ! Ha. I know you will keep me posted. thank you clive

Thank you all for helping I now have a Proof 2021 Britannia £100 so edging my Pt collection up towards the rarefied levels of @Jaconet & @Clockpuncher closing this thread with thanks to TSF clive

Thank you James @James32 whilst this is a very rare opportunity to own the rarest of the Geiger bars ( gorgeous ) i had already decided that 5000g was too big for me. I am not so much a silver collector in any form, though I do have Geiger, a Bond & a couple of Olympics as well as a simply superb Lunar II proof set ( thank you G) & a couple of proof 70 50ps that complement the Au ones. good luck to @kennyruss72 . I hope this behemoth goes to a good appreciative home clive

Hi 9x I am sending you a PM. This is not cos I have one for sale but I made an approach a year ago to a guy who was selling 70 grade special year £5 to buy 3 as a bundle w a discount . Unfortunately , for me, 2/3 sold but he may still have the one you want. But he is not a TSF member & you have to do due diligence . However , a Facebook friend that we share is some I trust & have done many many trades with . Good luck. It was a tough & expensive coin to find but you already know that Clive

@Jimmock yes. You got me started & thank you for doing so . I have enjoyed collecting the Geiger’s & even my PM resistant wife likes the little square bars. delighted to be reminded you got me started. I still have those original pieces of course … in the silver Geiger bag ! clive

For those interested & before this thread closes, I recently took a pic of my Geiger gold progress. glad I started this off with a multi Silver buy of 1g -100g pieces threee years ago Clive

If it’s me I am delighted & not a little surprised that more were not embarking on a Geiger adventure. When you see these bars in their packaging there is something v satisfying about being a collector. These are duplicates for me so will make nice Xmas presents or similar in the fullness of time. thanks Clive

@Clockpuncher these are fabulous pieces & as any Pt collector knows, they are rare. Just the mintage alone was minimal , & few have been graded. like you I am on the hunt for elusive 70 grades in both of these. Those rare quality pieces come up so rarely . good luck & hope they find a good home. I have both of these but not in a 70 😢 clive

Definitely my thing @Upsidedown as others know. bid update
