    All good mate, keep your powder dry...still a bit of time to go yet ;)
    You're currently leading with your $980 bid (but may have "telegraphed" your next move :eek:)
    I try to discourage members from out-bidding themselves...had a bit of an "episode" with that in an Auction many moons ago (@REDBACK ?!? :p)

    Auction finish starting in around 103 minutes' time :cool:

    Speaking of Under Spot Gold & Silver, we've already had a look at the Olympic Centennial Set (here), so let's dig a bit more into the Hutt River Province (later named The Principality of Hutt River)
    This was a micronation formed in the North-West of Western Australia, when Leonard Casley (later "His Majesty Prince Leonard I of Hutt") had a beef with the Western Australian government over wheat quotas o_O
    Wikipedia have quite a comprehensive page on it here and it basically stood for 50 years before being dissolved last year in August (apparently another victim of Covid? :rolleyes:)
    As for the rounds on offer here, Numista has the Proof Sovereign listed with a mintage of only 2000 (and it weighs slightly heavy at 8.04gms .916 gold :D) with the $100 6oz Silver Proof having a mintage of only 500 (mintage references in the initial post)
    20210605_104307.jpg 20210605_104229.jpg 20210605_104407.jpg (Thumbnails, click to enlarge)
    20210605_124257 (2).jpg 20210605_124257.jpg 20210605_124406 (2).jpg 20210605_124406.jpg (Thumbnails, click to enlarge)

    Also the Numista page has the sovereign in this Auction as it picture reference :D

    These coins are in great condition (although I did notice 2 red spots on the Automobile side of the Sovereign) and represent a great historic reference to our Australian story (and an excellent "middle finger" to the govmint :cool:)

    Auction finish starting in 1 & 1/4 hours' time :)

    I have an old 1 ounce gold blob with a red spot. PIcked up knowingly here on SS as I had done some research and found that they are not common but sometimes occur. Supposedly heating over the red spot with a small torch at a high temp will get rid iof them but I've never tried it. If I remember correctly bubblebobbie2 had something with a read spot a couple years ago but I don't remember more than that.
