Really like them

[Oldun]

They fit in the wallet nicely, as do sovs.....gotta love the Saffers and Brits for practicality.....try going through customs with gold worth a certain percentage more than spot depending on the country......paperzzzzzz please....

I saw this on The European Mint's website a few weeks back and decided to add one to my Group Order list.

It did come at a bit of a premium, but as with most things from the Perth Mint, the quality is of the highest order

I seem to be really getting into Aussie coins of late

Slightly poignant one here today consdiering the D-Day 75th Anniversary that has just passed. This came up for sale from a dealer who I think confused it for a normal silver 1oz Maple as the price was on par with those. It is a 2004 reverse proof SIlver 1oz Maple featuring a double privy mark which would have been for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. Mintage according to Numista is 11698 so nice to add one of the lower mintage Maple privy's to the collection.

Thanks. The coin was meant to come with a Coa, but it didn't... the seller wasn't the most helpful (no-one from here), but the coin was only £100 so I can't complain too much!

Today I received my Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier Pro.

Now let's see if I actually have any gold or silver.

I have troub,e keeping my own paperwork together and some people after they've sold their stuff think they have no responsibility left to help out....I doubt it was worth counterfeiting 1/4 oz gold with the boxes and such but fleabay is usually the best place to buy coa's etc and boxes.

Not really, I only started last year but I plan to continue buying for another 20 years at least, and my first PM purchase ever was a fake, so I  don't want this to happen again. I'm still awaiting my new - bigger - neodym magnete as well.

Curse of the Maple. I was surprised to see it though as I have a number of these which are produced to a much higher standard and this is the first I've seen with a spot. I suspect it has developed though due to being mishandled as it wasn't in it's original capsule. Still the price was right and I can tick that one off the list until I eventually find a complete one in original packaging to replace it

Kind of went on a gold bender, thankfully before the price of gold went up...

Huge “Thank you!” to @Pampfan for this beautiful 1987 Gold Sovereign Proof! This completes my minimal date run of 1980-1990 Gold Sovereign Proofs.

Also a surprise gift was included...A Franklin Mint, Flags of the United Nations, United Kingdom Sterling Silver Bar.

Now for more gold...Received The Royal Mint 2019 Strike on the Day Queen Victoria Celebration Sovereign (with the distinctive mark below the dragon’s head, as seen on others). There is one more arriving from another order placed with @TheCoinConnection!

More Sovs!...An 1885-M Young Head Victoria Gold Sovereign. 

A couple of Gold Half Sovs!...A lovely 1980 Gold Half Sovereign.

And an extremely nice 1913 Gold Half Sovereign.

Also received some US minted gold...A 1908 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle.

And lastly a stunning beautiful $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle! Just love the color toning on this one!
