    I think the Mayflower commerative is one of the best commeratives, modern or otherwise. Classic design.

    If you like UK coins and Britannia's, this is one pair certificate #064 of 500. Only pop 2 and pop 6 (in this variety) PCGS coins in a Gold Shield holder. I am considering selling, but it is not a low-price version.


    Very cool. 😎

    I never showed my other gold Britannia. The half ounce finally showed in the mail and I had the quarter ounce initially.

    The picture captured this one very nicely:

    And then this week, I got the silver one, was holding out for a 70 but cannot find one anywhere so I settled for a 69, luckily this thing does not have any milk spots! That was my biggest fear…

    And then, just by pure chance, the platinum ones came in the shop on Friday, so I grabbed one of the 1/10 ounce:

    This just leaves me wanting the full ounce platinum, and I will then be satisfied with my little Britannia hoard.

    Great bars! What does the writing in the circle top stamp say? I can’t make it out.

    I grabbed enough aluminum cans Monday night (>2K), mostly out of one dumpster at a boat landing/campground, to purchase another Silver Eagle.

    It takes 2000 cans or 60 pounds of aluminum cans to purchase a silver eagle now.

    I have 6 silver eagles worth of aluminum cans sitting in the garage at the moment despite the multiple hurricane disruptions. The past two months have been good ones as I've expanded the number of sites I visit. Now I need to find the homes of some more heavy beer-drinkers to take it to the next level. They can provide $50-150 of income per household per year.

    I have that saved in my "watch list" on eBay, mostly because I am curious if it will sell or not (way too much for me to afford to purchase, unfortunately).

    A recent purchase. Don't know much about it, except it is sort of interesting and I like the older vintage silver the most. I do see a few 1- and 10-ounce versions that sell for a premium.

    I went to a local coin shop owned by a friend of mine, didn’t expect anything like this to be in the case! It is quite a pleasant surprise and luckily, I had just enough on me to cover it! :D

    But yes, I agree the old JM and Engelhard bars get me every time!

    @asheland…that is a gorgeous QE! Looks incredible for the grade.
    I agree, that holder is my favorite NGC holder as well. Love the embossed gold back!
    The holder looks as nice as the coin. Don’t see a blemish on it.

  • Options
    ashelandasheland Posts: 24,434 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Downtown1974 indeed the holder is virtually new! It’s quite the package…

    I have a 1906QE that is NGC 66 with the green sticker, I put them side-by-side, and comparing under that format. I consider this to be a solid 65.

    Hmm... they are mentioned on alengelhard.com but bars only, no rounds.. Ebay has this one that sold recently at a decent premium.. I didn't see mintage mentioned however..:

    Paid pretty strong for this one, but I’ve always wanted an exceptional example of the earliest Libertads:

    And recently having found the 1991 type two in my miscellaneous box, I sent them to PCGS and to my great delight I made MS 69 on it!

    So I have both types from 1991, one is MS 68 and the other MS 69 those will look so awesome side-by-side!

    When the type two gets back, I’ll photograph it and post it here…

    Here’s a couple of pick ups that I never posted…

    This one Frontier Mint, was a brand I had never heard of… Cool looking bar so I picked it up.

    This one is fun because I used cashback from my new Apple Card. Every penny of the money used to buy this bar was from cashback points…

    This was stuff I would have bought anyway, so this was essentially a free bar. B)

    I picked this up yesterday for a very low premium, I’ve always liked these and this one is almost a perfect 70.

    $250… How did I do?
