A 'holy grail' delivery for me today: 2x 2021 Wombat from the Perth Mint.  Hadn't seen the 2021 Wom for sale at all in the UK, but found these at a reasonable price from Australia via eBay. Hadn't purchased PM's via eBay before so it was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off 😃 

My wombat collection is now up-to-date, just awaiting the release of the 2024.

I have looked at the other years - they are all lovely 🌞

Maybe we need to create an “I’m bidding on this” thread so we don’t bid others wish lists up🫣🤔😳

I agree. 

I'll go first..

I'm bidding on all the cheap but immaculate gold coins coming to the sales page over the next few weeks. I'd appreciate everyone backing off.

Although the literal meaning of Piedfort is "strong foot", a more accurate translation/interpretation would be "heavyweight". The term started off as two words until its first appearance in its current form over two hundred years ago.

 

The "piefort" misspelling first came to light in the late 19th century and both forms are now regarded as acceptable with the bastardization generally more common in our former colony.

 

The pedagogues of the Académie Française must be apoplectic that the Yankee variant has now been adopted into modern French - with the adjusted use of an acute accent - as "piéfort". A delicious irony.

Tis very interesting although if they can't spell "Guarantee" properly and use "Guaranty" instead in their company name, what hope for Piedfort or anything French 🤷‍♂️

Received few goodies back from grading, all good except one 🤦🏻‍♂️

The PF69 seems to be sitting very slanted, the grader must have been drunk that day🤣

You can roll the coin by rotating the slab and get it back into the vertical position.

You never know, it’s triggering my OCD if I’m honest - it made me make a drink 🤣

Actually, what do you mean by rotating the slab? Apologies if that’s a silly question..

@Booky586 Please enlighten us 😀 - this would help me out too.

I recently found out with Royal Mint blister packs, holding a corner and tapping the opposite corner can rotate the coin.

Unsure about NGC slabbed ones. I've seen sovereigns which seem rotated, and that would get my OCD going (which is why I passed buying them) 🤪😂

A dirty hand no doubt, ps: no koalas were harmed in the making of this photo

This fine 2-ounce silver stapler is dedicated to the Ankh, an ancient Egyptian symbol that stands for life, eternal life and immortality. It is characterised by a loop at the top and a vertical line extending from the bottom. The stacker has an antique finish, a very high relief and is supplied in a capsule. Many greetings from Maxe.
