OK prospector Pete!

[GoodAsGold]

Who issued that 50p piece coin @ZRPMs ?  I don’t recognise the design.

[Brit2023]

Anybody else get one of these to go with their coin?

Not a real 50p. had as joke from the niece along with some medication for the recently attained half a century. The nugget is real and the pay dirt is supposed to contain some gold though.

Yes, it's all @KurtCollects fault

Just shown your witty response to my missus. She’s told me that she’ll get me some of those tablets. I’m not sure that even an overdose will help though!

[Dankanugget]

Maybe they’ll help digest kfc parts and hide the taste of old Doberman?
happy weekend.

From @DuncanWylieWilson. Lovely sovereign. Another shield for the collection.

Got a nugget almost the same shape. Bought in Perth, Australia over 20 years ago. It's 2.25 grams with gold mount.

If I get an 1870 I may end up with a date run on my hands 😬

This arrived today from DuncanWylieWilson (Wilson Numismatics)

1967 Bahamas $20 the same specs as a sovereign. It piqued my interest as the portrait is Arnold Machin and 1967 is my birth year.

Lovely design on both obverse and reverse. 

Nice to see something a bit different with a lower mintage too. 😎👍

I actually don't mind them tbh. Largest part of my stack is modern copper discs.

That’s very wise. Copper is going to the mooooon. Gold is just incidental 😂

I like them too. It came across sarcy but that wasn't my intention. 

I have been selling something else to justify (in my mind) buying some more Sovereigns. 

My hit list (and you have recommended them before) is a 2002, 2005 and 2012 if I can find nice bullion ones. Also a nice 1974 Machin as I am selling some marvel comics from that era and want to make their sacrifice into a mini investment.

No I didn't take any offence 😆 

I was just putting it out there for others, they will be making this way for the foreseeable so no point in ignoring all together
