I had some spectacular grading results back of some beautiful coins today, so before they go off to the safe I thought id share this special set. @Chrisplym 🥳😉

Just received these two lovely coins. Will try to get a five pound and a full in future. Not sure why the 2 Sov didn't get CAMEO grading... I believe the cameo contrast looks very similar.

Received this wondrous 1821 George IV Secundo Crown today. I'm absolutely over the moon with this wonderful addition to my Crown collection- the Crown tray in my Cabinet is filling up 😃

Completers feast ! Beautiful QB Completers just arrived from NGC with a nice grade 1oz gold proof (thanks to @Jeffers46who sold it to me) and the 2oz silver proof

Picked up a nice chunky piece of gold on Saturday, and the proof set arrived Monday.

My recent pick up's. All from the forum. A couple of sovs, both proof and bullion and also a couple of 2oz libertads so that I don't forget my routes A huge thank you to who all whom I have bought from 👍

Today I received... My 100g TSF Forum bars as well as a @BackyardBullion custom piece, a 40oz Rolo. She is an absolute beaut! I feel like Christmas has come early. The last picture is her amongst friends

Well what can i say recieved this today and took my breath away Super high releif Attica Athens Owl BC 393 - 294 (2,400 years old) Also recieved this 1900 kingdom of Wurtemburrg another belting 20 marks

An absolute Choice 1911 proof florin.

And these… perseverance has paid off on the 1979, ive graded many many 1979 proofs to get to a 70 🤩

Today I received an email off Louise at CoTR with the results of grading submissions. I really needed a lift having been unwell for a couple of weeks. This did the trick. 1930 sa mint sovereign ------AU58 2018 India sovereign -------MS70 DPL 2019 India sovereign -------MS70 DPL 2000 proof sovereign --------PF70 UCAM 2007 proof sovereign -----PF70 UCAM 2006 proof sovereign ----PF69 UCAM 2001 proof sovereign ---PF70 UCAM 2003 proof sovereign ----PF70 UCAM

Just arrived this morning, much better in the flesh....

A nice 2nd Coin Cabinet arrival that solves a storage/ display problem. The Cabinet has a drawer for coin paraphernalia, the remainder of the them fitted out with Inserts that accept Crowns, which was its intended purpose. As a nice bonus, the drawers are also deep enough to hold 10 Slabs per drawer 😃 and my Peter Nichols Cabinet with my historic Silver sits nicely up on top 👍

Been a while since I added anything interesting to the stack. These LMUS were nice to get to extend my variety. The Swiss one is practically mint state.

Gold 1/4 oz Panther. First 2 showed up today. Looking forward to another plus the 20z and 1oz silvers.

Actually Yesterday, I received 2oz… to add to my 1oz and 1/4 ounce from last week. Nice looking coins. To storage they go…

Received this super quick from @arshimo2012 Key date sov really happy

Beautiful thick boy from @SilverMike My first piedfort! Thickness is very cool in person. I’m obsessed with the 2017s…

Few sovs and a lump of shiney today

Let me introduce you to this big girl 🤠 Many thanks to @Chrispringle85for letting her lodge with me for a while, everyone should have one of these beauties.. Even if it’s just to clobber someone with. 🙃

Back from grading 😃

A little more shopping

Just arrived. Seems to be nothing special, but this is the beginning of my Sovereign collection.

This little beauty came today. Paid the same as a bullion 1/4 Brit so happy days. Tiny little copper spot on the shield but I can look past that quite easily. Really wish I looked into gold a lot sooner than last year as I would love the full set of these.

Small time boring stuff adding a 1/10 2021 just need an 1/2 oz Brit now for a set apiece for my kids. Grabbed an extra sovereign from @BleyerBullionat the same time.

Went to one of the LCS' near my home today and bought a few coins for my U.S. Type Set. 1853 Braided Hair Large Cent, 1889 Liberty Nickel, 1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar reeded edge, and a 1906 Proof Liberty Nickel. The proof isn't going into my type set album. I just bought it because I liked it and I don't have any proof coins anywhere near that old.

Modest 1 oz Gold Brit purchase thanks to @BleyerBullion, decided the kids are both going to have a Brit set each in a walnut box; after that they can decide what they want to collect in the future. Just 2 gaps to fill now.

Hello dear silver friends, today we have received some nice medals, 2 oz silver Ultra High Relief Sekhmet Egyptian Gods Series in BU and Antique Finish. The 2oz Achilles in the curved shape of a shield is an eye-catcher. Then a 10oz silver bar from the Wallstreet Mint in its original welded finish. Have a nice weekend and best wishes from Maxe.

First humble small 1937 to get me started - have been waiting for a cameo one for ages, so and to grab this when it came up. what do you prefer? 63 cameo or 64/65 normal? I think I’d stick with cameo!

Lovely and very rare coin received today- a lucky early and what turned out to be a very much overlooked Sunday morning eBay auction win 😃 Orphaned from an extremely rare 1923 Proof South Africa Set- a lovely chocolate coloured Bronze Penny, nicely toned, a nice Plain edge and just about as struck. A Wonderful coin 👍

Another crown for the collection 🙂

Thanks @SilverMike, lovely Sovereign.

Following on with my Pre- Decimal Crown collection (1820 through to 1960) and whilst I do some reading and get a better understanding of Crown issues prior to George III, I have decided to move forward with Decimal issued Crowns (or £5’s). My aim is to collect all the modern Commemorative Royal issues- to date- and in as many formats as possible- Piedfort, Silver Proof, Proof FDC & Base Metal. By my reckoning there have been 39 different Monarchy themed Crown issues since 1972- this should keep me busy for a while, so if you don’t here from me, that’s what I’m up to 😂 These arrivals came over the last several days. With thanks to @Richym99 for the eight Piedforts and the freebie display case was appreciated (I’ll need it!). And thank you @PapaLazarou for the Crowns. A couple more were eBay pick ups. Piedforts Crowns- Silver Proof & Base metal Also nice to get together all 6 of Her Majesty’s Portraits in the Crown sized coin.

Sublime rare 1882 H newfoundland 2 dollar graded NGC AU58 The Newfoundland 2-dollar coin was issued in intermittent years between 1865 and 1888. It was the only circulation gold coin issued by a British colony. Although few coins were issued, it was broadly used in Newfoundland and eastern Canada. The coin became scarce in 1894 because of hoarding following the collapse of Newfoundland's banks and monetary system. The H ia for Heaton mint Birmingham, one year only as the royal mint was overloaded with work and subcontracted the work out

Some mixed bullion and some bargain slabbed Morgans. The toning on the MS63 is lovely.

A few new bits and pieces this week. Love the Royal arms design

Lots of tiny things from Germany! I'm such a sucker for buying the same thing in different packaging

Got carried away with myself once again over the weekend and ended up picking these up.

Hallo liebe Silber und Goldfreunde, da das Wetter draußen nicht gerade einladend ist habe ich ein paar Fotos gemacht die ich mit euch teilen möchte. Viel Spaß beim Schauen und Grüße vom Maxe. Hoffentlich langweilen euch meine Bilder nicht, habe gerade richtig Lust. Den Anfang machen Schiffe, die nie auf den Meeren fuhren. Ich liebe diese schönen Serien aus Ruanda, original verschweißt sind die sehr edel. Die Aliens in BU und Antik Finish finde ich auch sehr gut gelungen, auch der Tiger der Komsco in PP ist super. Sehr gut gelungen sind auch die Restrikes aus China in BU und Antik Finish. Und zum Abschluss noch etwas für die Goldfreunde, Gold aus Deutschland, 12g Goldmark, 3,89g Deutscher Wald und heimische Vögel und 1/2oz Einigkeit.

Another super rare coin for you today, been working very hard refining my stack Tunisia 100 francs tiny mintages of 3,000 Beautiful design, breathtaking actually https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11229.html

Absolute belter today and rare 1814 Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy 40 Lire minted in Milan with the coat of arms When parts of Northern Italy were under the rule of napoleon What a coin for 207 years old, bit of further info for those interested https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy_(Napoleonic)

Gorgeous proof sixpence.

Got my first 1/4 gold Britannia today courtesy of @Tn21 just need to get a 1/2 and 1oz to complete a little britannia collection

Another 45g of panda goodness!

Got my first lot of silver. 5 tube of 25 1oz coins.

Couple of lovely lots delivered today! Firstly thanks to @PatrickV for a wonderful tube of 2021 Brits! @ilovesilverireallydo thank you very much for this stunning piece of gold form the former country of Yugoslavia I think it will be in my stack for a long time to come! Thanks to both of you for helping to build my stack! 😁

Not exactly precious metals, but not particularly cheap either! A pair of 1.5-inch solid metal cubes. The tungsten one weighs exactly 1kg, which feels unearthly heavy for something so small (unless you happen to have a 1kg gold bar!). In contrast, the aluminium (sorry, aloominum) cube feels unfathomably light and it's hard to believe it's not hollow.

What a design 👌

Recieved today a stunning world gold hoard in wonderful condition 1915 cuba cinco pesos 1878 Hanseatic city of Hamburg 20 marks 1885 Liberty Head $5 dollar 1847 Louis Phillipe 20 french francs 1877 Wilhelm 10 dutch gulden Stunning examples, enjoy
