Finally managed to pick a Coca Cola Sovereign up again. I had 1 for years & sold it I have regretted it since.

Fab coin. Well done Andrew!! BTW the 00001 on the COA is that the serial number?

No that is a generic coa, the coa is one engraved into the coin 10195

Two 2022 sovereigns today - a Memorial and the Platty Joobs (my name, not RM's 😂), courtesy of Atkinsons this time around. I like the Memorial design a lot, but it sprains my eyes trying to see the details without a loupe...

Wow, busy and (for me) expensive week. 

I have filled my collection/stack boots with these lovely Sovereigns bought from @James32 , @Brit2023 and @HowardW

Thank you gentlemen. Seller Feedback on its way.

Very interesting piece. Coca Cola logo looks pretty cool in gold! I’ve only seen the branded silver bullion with the Coca Cola imprint like the small bars. Good to know they actually made a few pieces in gold too.

Few bits of shiny for today. Jubilee and Coronation Sovs plus a tiddler memorial 1/4 for the tin

No it was an online auction that I was viewing. Not Ebay though

I somehow picked up an 1880 young head sovereign for £400 delivered. Fair enough it's only bullion and not in a great grade, but couldn't believe the price when I saw it.

Not looked at it properly, but want to find it in Marsh as there are several varieties there for 1880.

Edit - tested genuine on Sigma Pro Mini

I wonder on closer inspection if it's Marsh 91A - I don't know if it's a 7/8 overdate - some better photos....

Yep saw that one, nearly bid myself. How much was postage from them?

I got some coins from another auction aswel & the same company collected & posted both. The auctioneers don't post so its external. The cost was £55 for both auctions which is insane & currently in dispute with them over the cost. All in all though the Coca Cola Sovereign cost me under spot so happy with that.

That’s why I didn’t bid as too far to drive for me. Good pick up though well done they are a cool coin.

Another coin with a tank on it. Thanks to @CoinCupboard for pointing me at it and not buying it, and your free reward silver is on its way 🤣

Nice coin. What mint is this? 

[James32]

@paulmerton appears to be the wrong bar  🤣 

Will be going back, unless somebody here wants it at cost? £1903+post

Yes being the weak man I am went back to the coin fair and spent the rest of my Hong Kong 🇭🇰 spending money on another 1/20th Panda 🐼. This one is 1992.

View is from the top of Victoria Peak.

One of my favourite places and amazing views. The Big Buddha (Lantau) is maybe my favourite view in HK, the top of the Ritz isn't too bad either 🤗

Strange economics in HK that make gold dirt cheap relatively speaking. No taxes on metals, LPM and Kitco have their Asian HQ there, the gold:Real estate ratio is insane
