This is one of the clearer unbarred As i've seen actually, can't see any bar there at all like on the 1842s and others

Is 1841 one of your missing dates?

 

you mean you can't see the stumps of the bar on each side of the A in GRAT and the faint trace of the bar on the field, where the bar used to exist on the punch?

Indeed it is, so kind of you to offer to donate one to my collection?

Yup, I've not put the coin through the ultrasonic yet or looked under scope but others you can see the stump with your eyes, this is the closest I've seen to an V for A so far.

I paid a pretty penny for it, bonus was the unbarred A variation

My antique finish Queens beast 2oz silver lion arrived today from @arshimo2012  

I quite like this finish and will probably leave it out on display so I can handle it. Worth doing to silver spotted coins as it would give them a new lease of life.

[Olliecobs]

Received these little beauties. 2009 Sov and 2x 1/10 Brits. 

Nabbed these just before the price hike so more than happy ?

Thanks Tim (Sparrowlegs4) for the 2017 SOTD Sapphire Jubilee sovereign. Was looking for this in 70DCAM. A lovely addition to the collection. 

[CoinStruck]

Hello, today received this 2002 1/2 sovereign graded 70DCAM purchased from a dealer. Have the 2002 sovereign in for grading so if very lucky it will achieve a 70DCAM also.

A fantastic surprise this morning courtesy of the lovely @Numistacker

PF70, great outcome for my first time grading

Hello, Today I received (well last week actually ) the start of my QB 2oz Silver collection from a well know dealer.

I know, I know....I could have got them all cheaper if I had shopped around and bought them individually. But I thought this would be the best way to kick things off and be my best chance of getting some good specimens. Well I was lucky, they all are pretty perfect except the Lion which has a mark on the outer ribbed edge (gutted ) I suppose I should think myself lucky really as 4 out of 5 bullion coins being good is not bad at all. Don't Suppose someone would like to swap me for a better Lion out of a full tube of them you may have lying around...I will pay the postage and a coffee .

Ah, ok. Was for a moment worried that someone had been trying to flog cupronickel BUs as silver ?

Bought my first Sovereign today at Hatton Garden Metals. Best price I could find in town and as I moved to the UK recently I now need to get me some Capital Gains Tax free coins.

You really are most welcome - I'll say it again - great feeling to be dealing with somebody so appeciative.

Have a great weekend (dodging bullets?)

If the 1841 wasn't rare enough, how about an 1863 - 827 on truncation?  ? ?

 

 

 

Could you explain what this means and what I am looking for in the picture? Thanks

 Edit: oh I see...I was looking at the date numbers for overstamping
