Today I bought.....

[Fastnick]

Just pressed the button on a 10oz Queen's Beast Lion on eBay for £175 - £30 more than I paid for my other 10oz coins in the series, but it fills what would otherwise have been a sizeable and very noticeable gap in my collection.......

As an Irish citizen myself, I'm sorry to learn that we were bidding against each other

Many thanks. Bought it off Facebook but pretty sure it’s @SilverStan on here.

Very nice. Showed it off to several people who have no idea about PM’s and they were blown away by the size and weight of it. 

Cheers

Another charity shop find 1977 Sterling Proof Crown, this one in lovely complete condition, £10.

Gilded Kook 1993, quite hard to find. Just 1996 and 1999 remaining for complete up to date set! 😎

Lunar UK Year of the Pig, one of the few times that the gilded version may look uglier than the regular coin! 😁

I got my first 2 swiss 20francs in the mail last week and loved them so i decided to splash some cash and went to the local coinshop this morning, this is what i got, 4 vrenelis, 1 helvetia and a napoleon(since there were only 5swiss francs). Sorry for the bad pictures, i prefer a cheap phone and 5 of these instead of an iPhone.

I really like that Swiss stuff. Was there much of a premium on it?

They were at 2.11% above. It changes by the day, usually it's between 1,5% and 2.85% for latin union coins like vrenelis, napoleons and belgian leopolds. Usually the swiss coins have a higher premium than the others but not always, so i wait for the right moment. Check goldforex Brussels for prices and premiums.

Today my wife bought me a Royal Mint 1/4 oz gold standard coin. I think she's after something more expensive in return....
