Today I bought.....

Finally -- a 2017 1/4 ounce gold Libertad proof. Yes - it's the same design for years in a row. Yes, they are overpriced.
But they are beautiful and I need one...[emoji6]

10 Morgan Dollars and 3 Peace Dollars for just under £12 each.

Not entirely sure of dates/condition, difficult to tell from ropey eBay pics - will be a surprise.

Happy about my newest GV Sov...1930 Melbourne "Small Head" with a mintage of about 75,000 (I think...I'm traveling and don't have my book with me). It's identified as Scarce in the new Sov guide.

I think palladium is interesting, and this is the first time an Eagle has been struck in Palladium.  I picked one up on pre-order to go with my only other palladium coin, a maple leaf.

...and a graded version as well.

Very nice medal - these are always impressive in real life. You will now need all the different sizes it comes in and the different metals!

Yes i hope so, not seen one before!

This is the only one i'll get though, it's the large gold version that was presented to royalty and nobility only, mintage around 3k i think. No need to get the others if you already have this one

Not today but yesterday.

Bought locally on the forum a 2008 1/2 oz silver lunar 2 mouse, been after one for some time now so happy I have managed to acquire one

I've seen this before on the same date 1 Sov and passed on it when I seen it, it was in a DNW sale last year.

Not sure how common this is with these but that's the 2nd I've seen now and always check them for this particular problem.

Sorry but I don't see anything peeling. If you mean the dark areas, that's just reflections of the photographic equipment because of the convex design of the rose. The BU is even harder to photograph than the proof. Or am I missing something?

[augur]

Sorry, this pic is from NGC – can't take others at the moment because 1) coins is not back yet and 2) my macro setup was stolen las weekend 

 

[augur]

Have a look ? the rose is reflecting the surroundings. I think without a soft box and incident lighting through a semitransparent mirror you can't avoid these dark or bright patches. If the coin was silver, it would be even harder to photograph.

Bought this morning some Lunar dogs gold 1/10oz, 1/4oz, silver PP 2oz,1oz,1/2oz, roll of 2oz dogs, roosters, few 1oz ,1/2oz dogs plus Queen Beasts Griffins.

[TheGoldSovereign]

To be honest @shortstack68 i'm not sure why you are so bothered about this, i'm not and it's my purchase.

There seems to be a running theme with any post i come across of yours, maybe try and post a few positive comments every 1/100?

[TheGoldSovereign]

Will do thanks
