Well it arrived all safely!:D its a London 1976 mount in a Victorian style, but the stone is indeed a natural amethyst and its huge, using size charts possibly 10ct (its 12mm x 18mm). Im over the moon with it to be honest:).

Well I finally got my first toned coin in, came with 6 other untoned coins from a yardsale:) WW1 era. Photo was taken in sun light as the tones show up abit better.

Thank you Golden Chipmunk:) hopefully it arrives ok and is as nice in person. This was a Ebay buy so i try not to see it as mine until it arrives safely lol.

The Euroace was my first detector and I found it to be excellent, I do beach detecting and found plenty of coins and a couple of gold rings and few bits of silver over the 6 months, along with a whole heap of rubbish!!. I was going often though and was fairly dedicated. Depth level was fairly...

Thank you for the advice guys and thank you for the offer Shiny! but yes I'm in the UK. how do i tell if its double refractive? sorry im a complete novice with any kind of stones. I picked these up at a Yardsale for next to nothing so certainly cant lose with these. This is my latest buy...

So I recently picked up these two silver rings that I believe have some age to them..I think the one in the left is amethyst and I'm not sure about the one on the right..maybe jade?. The amethyst ring is simply marked "silver" and the green ring is marked "Sterling silver" does that give any...

Must just not be enough on the open market to get a price i guess! I really appreciate you looking for me though. Its really cool to know that as of now i have the highest and only one at that grade though:)

Excellent, thanks for all your help Justfishin!

Looking at the graded numbers of 12 does that mean only 12 have ever been sent in to be graded? I'm guessing that's possible because grading isnt as popular here in the UK. Anyone like to take a guess at value?

Wow thats awesome!!! never would have thought it would be the only one! :D

That would be great thank you:). its a one ounce silver proof 25p crown coin from the 1977 jubilee.

Ok so I bought this coin on impulse because it seemed cheap and I don't have any graded coins just mostly scrap. I checked the barcode and it was on the NGC website but I could not find out anything else about it there, Is there a way to find out how many other PF69 /PF70 of this coin there is...

As far as i know all bullion coins still have to pay 20% on entering the uk. But people do chance it and some slip through the net. I believe in germany VAT is 7% and some travel there for large orders, once the VAT is paid in germany it does not have to be paid here. But they are finishing that...

Im in the UK so have the awful 20% VAT on silver, then dealers premiums and postage so at the lowest silver has recently been i could have bought 10 x 1 ounce coins at 17.50 each..but when spot is 12.50 thats just too rich for me, and its never going to get any better. gold of is VAT free so a...

I decided to go a completely different route in the end and bought some local scrap silver coins, they sure dont look as pretty but i was able to get 14 ounces instead of 10 for the same money. I have been stacking since December last year but my funds are extremely low and so my stack was only...

today I bought 50 pre 1947 half crowns at 10 an ounce adjusted, extremely happy with that and goes a way towards lowering my cost average.

They are all literally a few pence per ounce in difference, the maple is 12p more per coin than the cheapest of the three. I did consider the Britannia's, but they work out 10% more per ounce and i have heard lots of problems with the finish, and seen many on youtube covered in scratches. That...

So tomorrow i'll be Making a buy of ten coins and i was wondering about peoples opinions on these coins..They are all about the same price. I am interested with the maples for the 9999 purity, and currently have 7 bisons from the wildlife series..The Armenian's noah's ark look really nice...
