I know the picture isn’t too great, but this piece has been staring at me for the past few weeks, just can’t find anything on it. Looks like an eagle though.
EDIT: Is not mine, is for sale at my LCS for spot.
Grabbed this 1984 Engelhard Prospector (Eagle Reverse) from my LCS for spot +3. I have no experience in shopping for toners, but I felt this one looked cool. It also was 1 of 3 Prospectors in the generic bin, and this one was the only one with an eagle. Is this something worth putting in a capsule? Is this type of toning desirable to others? And what’s the community’s opinion on the “E” vs “Eagle” reverse on either coin?
Edit: I’ve also heard toning on both sides is suspicious, thoughts?
Picked up a 1 gram gold PAMP bar, a IGR 1/2 gram gold bar, a 10 gram silver Viking ship, and a 2025 35th anniversary 1/10 platinum Kookaburra. Traded some odd ball platinum pieces like my Franklin mint mini coin (1.3 grams) and Valcambi 1 gram platinum bar along with almost $100 cash ($221 total) for the Kook, think it was worth it?
A couple weeks ago I posted my stack, and unfortunately since it’s mostly fractionals I got a lot of hate from the premium posse and anti-Goldback association. So I’d like to take this moment to apologize, to absolutely nobody! I’ve added to the fractionals 2x over!! Some of my favorite pieces pictured separate.
Picked this up at my LCS today, always wanted some, traded an ounce of silver, plus $20. 1972 Franklin Mint Journey for Peace 1.3 gram Platinum round. Coin shop warned me about Franklin mint. But does that really matter when it comes to their pure platinum products? I just got it because it was of the small entry point to a new precious metal I’ve always wanted. Thoughts?
Hello all I started stacking 2 months ago, just coming to ask what your thoughts on my method is. My LCS pays no mind to numismatic value and literally buys and sells purely by weight. So I get my fractionals at a 0.30 to 0.40 cent premium. Also it gives me great opportunity to sell personally picked awesome numismatic/sovereign coins for a decent profit. Am I right to be saving and stacking mostly fractionals? I feel they serve the most function and I super fun to collect the different shapes
