Today I bought.....


Recommended Posts

Bought these lost as scrap pre47 coins on eBay literally a few mins ago. (roughly 0.17 per gram). However I am not sure that the seller realised that the Wilhelmina coin is 72% silver (its badly damaged, but still scrap value is £7) and that the Crown is actually an Australian crown which makes it 925, melt value £10, but still saleable for more than that despite its condition. Also spotted a couple of other pre20 coins - which makes at least some of these coins worth more. So in general, even if I scrapped the whole lot I am probably going to make £10 profit...

I went and bought three Belgian gold coins.
I got the complete package Leopold I Leopold II and Albert I

May I ask what you paid for the Leopold coins? I really like these but the ones i’ve seen have pretty big premiums. 

Edit, just noticed you are in Belgium.

Today I bought a 2018 Perth BU swan plus a 1/4 gold Britannia from Sharps Pixley. As I proceeded through the payment, Sharps have a timer. I had to speed read the terms and conditions and accept before the timer ran out. Had to make sure I wasn't going to wait a while for my coin whilst they sourced it but all was fine in the small print:D

All of them have a premium but you should be able to get the Leopolds for a premium of 2,5 %  They are just bullion and should be priced as such.
Except the Albert which is a 1 year type with a mintage of 250.000

Do you know if the mintage is evenly split over the Flams and Vallon inscription? And what are these variants about position A and B?

 2  half sovereigns from Ebay this morning only for the seller to refund the monies this evening , his pathetic excuse was he didn't want Paypal holding his funds until June ;) but he is ok with Paypal holding onto my money for 7 working days . Would you give him negative feedback ?

Personally I thought that once the buyer has purchased and received the item there is nothing the seller can do.  It's a contract.  You could always sell them back to the seller (+ 5%) ?

Just ordered a Route 66 silver shield, the first in a series of eight. Should be a nice series to collect.

Oh..I didn't know it was only 8 in that series. I thought there would be a lot more and that made it undesirable for me. Thanks
