Hi, May be the wrong thread but can always change. Had a reasonably new member say he can source sovereigns for $US430 delivered and insured. Not for me to purchase but for themselves. That equates to AUD$650 delivered. Spot gold for a sovereign is $830, so buying sovereigns $180 under...

Just thought I'd share this pic I took many years ago. The coin is long gone but I just love how this pic turned out and couldn't delete it. It was taken on a phone, no special effects, just nice lighting coming from the right directions and some pure luck. The coin is in a capsule...

Something you don't see every day, so thought I would share it..;) Captured on a holiday in China....

Picked this up today, just thought what a great piece that I am surprised Perth Mint let it get through their quality assurance (although it's an oldie so they may not have cared) I particularly like the back where you can clearly see the press has "jumped" moving the corner and squashing the...

Hello, Went gold panning for a little fun with my missus and actually found some gold (very little) and was just wondering about the best way to store and display them. I have bought a little glass vial with a screw on aluminum cap but not sure if water is the best solution to sit it in or an...

Hi, I have recently purchased a $100 1995 proof Au Floral Emblem Waratah (no box or cert). There are a couple different articles about these coins and whether they are 22ct or 24ct, and some state it is indeed 24ct. I also believe the cert says .9999 I have a precious metals verifier and...

Hi, Have acquired this recently for my collection and was just wondering if anyone knew when this may have been produced or any other info. And also to share the view. A little beat up but still very nice in my books :)

Hi, Finally picked up my Public Silver bar. Actually a very nice looking loaf with nicely rounded edges. Haven't seen these for sale in Australia. Just thought I would share the view :-)

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has come across this before. I have a 1943 San Francisco Mint Australian Florin that only passes a .900 silver test, not .925. I have tested this and another Sanfran 1943 Florin side by side on a precious metals verifier, one passes .925 and the other doesn't...

Has anyone heard of this or know much about it https://www.google.com.au/search?q=public+silver&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis8Ji4vrXNAhWQq5QKHeHTBtsQ_AUIBigB Not sure if this image link will work....?

Hi, Has anyone had any of these coins too overweight? Not talking much but about 1-2grams but seems a lot when most things are .1 grams out. I have tried this on two scales and the same results, the coins look genuine and pass specific gravity checks fine. Have not had them xrf'd as the...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 1987 1/2 oz gold nugget coin that the Perth Mint produced. Just wondering if they ping like Krugerrands and Sovereigns? These ping and seem to resonate forever! The nugget has a light ping but doesn't seem to resonate and goes quiet very quickly. Just...
