[MickB]

2016 French Lunar year of the monkey. Made out of 900 silver but only 5000 made.

[Shinus73]

A 1/4 oz gold Britannia  and one Sovereign - both HGM.

[Oldun]

2oz Hoverboard (2,015 mintage) and a 1oz DeLorean  car with 1oz inside - 7,500 (Yes I was one of those fools ) Wont be arriving until the back end of next month. A silly middle aged dream of younger days.

1/2 kilo lunar mouse, very rare at a mintage of 739 & the only 1/2 kilo coin I will have when it arrives.

Late last night found an eBay 10% off voucher in my basket so used it for a 2014 1/2oz panda from Germany.

With the voucher but allowing for 17e postage ! The amount paid was about £398

Since the 2014 is already at a premium (see Apmex at £500 for the same coin. I think that was a great deal.

Today i bought six Perth lunar monkey's ,from STG. Well i never the kids did, to put away for Christmas.

How many years is a full date run? I like the Fiji taku and Noah's ark coins, don't have any of either, nearly bought a tube of Noah's a while ago from Germany before the tax went up to 19% there, now I am regretting that I didn't, as the silver that is available tax free in EU is a bit limited.

 

What do you think of the philharmonics, compared to other bullion coins in the EU I think they work out the cheapest per oz. For some reason though I dislike them, there is something a bit boring about them.

 

p.s. don't worry I will get the tapatalk thing sorted shortly

Philarmonics are good bullion coins.  Yes a little boring as each year is the same design; much like the America Eagles.

[Guest]

I find Philharmonics as dull as maples )) better to find pandas or lunars or Libertads

Picked up an under the radar $5 1880 in an old slab.

I will break it out and re submit and hope for MS63

Looks to have a lot of flat spots to my eyes to be over 60, but I'm not up on US gold coins. What's a perfect(ish) one look like?

This is a 65 and I think mine may be a 63 or 62

Not a bad design on those, but is it free from milkspots?

I hope it will be.

Bought a slabbed $5 today that I will I slab and send to NGC. The slab says MS64 and I think this is pretty accurate.

@numistacker is this a slab?

Yes it's a secondary grading company who closed and reformed in 2013. It's graders have 30 years of pro grading experience.

[sovereignsteve]

That looks pretty good to me, wouldn't be surprised if it was slightly better.

My guess is 64 )) it has almost no field markings and I have had 63+ with lots of small flecks on that this does not have.
