Being a masonic ring surely it has to be 33k!! ☺️

Although a sovereign man at heart, this coin is incredible and I think I would call it my best for 2022. The silky satin toning, in very deep blues and purples at the rim of the coin grading across the fields to the soft greys, pinks and gold tinge of the cameo’s, particularly on the Victoria side are very satisfying
 
Happy New Year everyone.

I got a nice 1877 shield in AboutEF condition or thereabouts for a little over £370 a couple of months ago.  It was a nice surprise as I didn't actually order a shield, just a young vic.  There are also some coins from Germania, which I haven't finished taking photos of.

 

I like World Gold and was after a Belgian 20 Francs, but wasn't prepared to pay the 30% premium they typically attract.
I bought a French 20 Franc for 6% premium from HGM instead but when it arrived it was an 1877 Belgian 20 Franc in great condition...reeesult!!! 😃

Despite making a promise on not risking buying ungraded stuffs at auctions, took a punt on a raw 2012 proof sov based on shoddy photos at a random county auction and after NCS it got back as PF70UC. It was not dirt cheap as raw either mind you, but got lucky and was well relieved pleased it turned out good. 😅
Numerous happy purchases from the forum as well in both graded and ungraded sections - thanks to @SVcollector@shawy2510 @richatthecroftjust to name a few.
Wishing all members an excellent New Year, here's to happy and successful collecting in 2023! 🥂 

1/10th Brit Pros= Cheaper than Half a Sov.
1/10th Brit Cons= It's not Half a Sov.
Half Sov Pros= It's not a 1/10th Brit.
Half Sov Cons= It's not a Full Sov.

Might as well lock the thread now - there is nothing more to say.

It was a miracle having  white skinned, blonde hair, blue eyed baby born in the middle east........ I pointed this out in Sunday school and I got really told off for some reason.  Even as a kid you could see there was some serious holes in the plot.  

Welcome, pro tip, what you need is a hoover and reactions of the speed of light to grab the bargains on here 🤣

Welcome. You won't go wrong with your present strategy. No need to complicate things. 😀

Bragging again... 😁

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. That's the best check.

As already said, there are probably more fakes of these than there are the real thing. Also, nobody, absolutely nobody, sells 5g of gold for £99. You already know its too good to be true!
Spend your money safely here on TSF!
Edit - good stuff stacking for your daughter, one day she will be very, very grateful!

I wouldn't even touch those with James' dyson.

if you want to buy some milky doggies i know man called @Gruff who I flogged them to, and he will be up for the sale. 
Transparency is key in TSF...
Same as @stefffana with his his leady spoons.... Hes got about 10 million in his cellar.
@James32 flogs some damaged goods too, only because of the volume of PMs he shoves up his hoover pipe everyday...
Nuff said, transparency is key.....
Im off to bed to now to Read millers silver marks antiques guide because im short sad fat and boss eyed and smell of wee....
 
@LawrenceChard get off the piste and please take note
 

I was gonna say I'd do her, but it seems she's already got your number. 😁

Surely it should have read: "NEIN minute heist"? ☺️
