Nice to see more anons buying Crowns, the 1952 commemorative is probably one of my favorite designs.

Thanks, I wish my coins weren't stored away right now so I could get better pictures of them. I'll try to be vigilant for an opportunity to arise.

Excellent tastes.
Is the 2 rand you have Silver?

Checked.
The definition of a Good Deal on Ebay depends on what you're buying, but for common, circulated coins a Good Deal would be at or below spot. I don't think it's possible to get rounds and bars below spot without buying a fake.
I know of good deals on Ebay, but I'm not going to tell you about any of them because you'll just snatch them up. If you do some research beforehand and know what you're doing you can get some amazing deals. I got pic related (0.5 ozt. ASW) at spot back in August, and I've done a lot better than that. Canadian Proof sets will usually sell slightly below spot, that would be a good place to start looking.

I see you have a South African Tricentennial Crown. Very nice, one of the best designed commemorative Crowns, you can get them pretty close to spot, too.

You're never going to see designs like pic related in modern circulating coinage, the idea of things possessing an objective form of beauty is too far removed from the artists employed by the government.

I don't see why the Paper Silver shills are getting so worked up over premiums. Premiums are what people who are too lazy to look for better deals pay. Just the other day I bought pic related just pennies above spot, all I had to do was put a little time and effort into finding a good deal.
