My gold and silver stacks aren’t as fantastic as any of these because I’m mostly investing in bullion and semi-numismatics.

Pics or it didnt happen 👍

A monster box like that would be a great way of keeping all my gold and silver stacks together! The container looks pretty big from the size of those 10oz Queen’s Beasts.

Yeah it's a decent size and very sturdy.

Fair point. I’ll try to photograph my stacks from above somehow.

My purchases for my first year

Have you opened any of the dragon bar tubes?  If so, what condition do they come in?  This may seem like an odd question...

My proof sovereign collection 1979 to 2018

Very nice Gordon. What did you do for 2015 when there were two proof portraits?

Dutch trading to the Moon?

Not sure about that but the Dutch prime minister got some fake Moon rock (petrified wood) as a present from Neil 'i never went to the Moon' Armstrong and Buzz 'i didn't go either' Aldrin.

This coin is also called "the naughty". The rumors say that the queen and the designer disagreeed whether the doors should be open or closed ( do not remember who would have what ). The queen, of course, got her will. But try to look at the handles, what do you think they look like 🙂

Politicians give bad presented as a gift all the time, good practical joke I say

Edit: ehm, I didn´t wrote ´bad´, I wrote bad

It is, got some more of them too. There is a special delivery line between the Netherlands and the forest moon!!

They really are worth collecting imo...

Hehe, very nice

 

To this day I still convert to guilders every now and then (I am Dutch)

Although, since recently I start thinking -I can buy a coin for that-

I have some of these, the condition is the same as if you brought just 1 as they all come from the tubes. There will be very slight marking on the raised edged where they touch but the bar faces themselves seem fine.

Thanks!!

[Spanishsilver]

Tonight I opened them all up to put some anti tarnish strips in and they all look great. 

One thing though is that the coin is smooth on the sides and feels quite sharp. Probably sharp enough to cut 

so the front and back look great but the finishing is a bit rough. But only on the rim of the coin. 

Hope that makes sense

@NRSovereign, thank you...this is the result of 10 and a half months...I was waiting to do a first year stack photo collection, but I can just do an addendum to this on the full years time.

Slow but steady stack here. Maybe 8ish years of buying on and off. I sold lots of my generics a few years back and have been replacing them over the past year with Brits. 

Wow, silver sovs? Didn't know they existed, now I want one!!!
