One of your finest investments? ?

Kicking myself here ?

Yep. Bought a low grade 1817 sov to bookend the event. Also got the 2017  3 coin premier set, sotd plain edge, piedfort, 2 sov dpl etc. Hit that series hard :) and this year’s 2018 3 coin premier privy set and waiting for the Coronation anniversary plain edge sotd. Another good one was the 2016 3 coin Britannia gold set with the error cert and the revised one...nice sleeper that one. Tiny mintage

Finally keep my PF70 collection updated [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

My Route 66 shield arrived today and will probably go to eBay as there's a slight mark on one of the faces, just by the right hand number six. I was excited about getting this shield as I want to complete the series eventually but I seem to keep getting coins from this seller with slight imperfections. Must be all the mints in the World with this problem. I'll knock them on the head now and look elsewhere.

Nice beast with eBay 20% off

Nice one ST I got one recently. Still searching for a decent raw see if I can find a potential ms64 or above!

Did you have to pay import fees?

[ST1986]

No import fee's, seller marked the coin as a "Token" and value of $25

Great! Nice pickup I saw that one too

[ST1986]

Thanks, I'm pleased with it, better than the last fake 1911 i bought that is now famous on Numi's Channel!!!

[stackspot]

Very happily received today from @kneehow2018

I am definitely no expert but I put the x5 loupe on it and it looks good to me. Happy to have it.

[KevjustKev]

This may well be the nicest coin I own, had to get it to match my BU version.

These will be so sort after imho with a mintage of only 750, had to grab this PF70. This is only available in the 5 coin "long set", which were 3300 RRP and have sold for 5300 on ebay already, only a few for sale atm at 6-8k.

 

 

 

 

It is a BU coin wrongly marked as PF by NGC. Here is a BU with a PF side by side. You can see the difference very clearly 

 

BU on left real PF is on right see frosting depth difference 

[billyf1]

Wow, would this be a problem for NGC to resolve if @PansPurse overpaid for the BU?

I don’t think NGC would resolve it. Was it bought as a proof? NGC would change the label to MS70 DPL. It’s in a bulk dealer label so was one of the first graded and over the first few months they mistakenly thought these BU coins were proofs

Pity. It's a mess up like that that has long lasting effects, especially for those who are buying it on the basis that it's a proof. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference without you pointing that out.

 

It is a masterpiece, though.

Good spot Numi. Glossed over the photo personally. This forum had a great thread discussing it at the time. And you ended up letting ngc know. How about PCGS ? 

[CoinStruck]

Hello, bought the new 2018 2oz silver proof "Dragon & Tiger" high relief coin from the Perth Mint yesterday. Mintage of 1,500. Hope you like it. 

[Roy]

I suppose NGC will only take responsibility for the grade and not the designation?

Wasn't that the Pistrucci SotD or did I miss another similar thread?

If so I have a PCGS SotD also wrongly designated as a PF with the error cert (which I'm in no rush to have 'fixed'/crossed) but presumably both companies keep an eye on such things/each other and would have made the correction about the same time (?).

Ah you might be right. Been a long weekend :). The BU £5 sovereign is easily identifiable as the Queen’s side is clearly BU quality. Dug out one of numis’ videos. 8 minute mark for the BU

2018 Niue 5 oz Double Dragon, and a 10 oz 9 Fine Mint bar from APMEX. the bar is small in height and width, but about 3x as thick as an average 10 oz bar. Makes for a very satisfying chunk in your hand.  Also received 8 90% silver U.S. quarters.
