My first LMU coin.
Belgium 20 franc, really like this coin 🤠

I have searched high and low but across the seas in a strange land I find you poor souls. Do not despair do not weep today you come home and are rightfully repatriated back to the UK.
Bought six more 1oz Gold Queens Beast Yale's from the USA to complete stack of ten.

3 lovely bullion sovs, thanks @Thomast @Heirlooms

Part of a long term ongoing project to collect all silver coins for this year. Still to do is source the annoyingly difficult 5 oz version and the kilo which ironically seems to be a lot easier to find. 

Been sitting on this for a few years and finally decided to submit it to NGC. Only 300 minted. Now to figure out its value...

1991 2oz Piefort

A few arrivals from the past few days, getting very close to my panda goal...
Thanks to @Danny-boy

and to @DavePanda - again!

And a nice chap on the Facebook group for the curiously elusive 2007!

But no thanks to the eBay seller for this fake...


But I'm very almost there with the double date set - just 5 gaps to fill.

 

2003 Silver Proof 1oz $1 Kangaroo - "Jirrah-Watty"   Featuring a design by acclaimed Aboriginal artist Ray Thomas of the Gunnai people in Gippsland, Victoria, the coin depicts "Jirrah-Watty" – the Big Kangaroo – in full flight. With bold muscular line-work underscoring the animal’s power and predominance, a delicate finish applied to the background envelopes the horizon in a shimmering heat haze, along with the distant silhouettes of another stalwart of the outback, the grass tree. Ray Thomas spent many years researching his Gunnai people’s myths, legends, designs and body marks. The patterned line-work and motifs are characteristic of the indigenous peoples throughout South-East Australia.   The corresponding "frostie" has a raised polished image with frosted background and was crafted by Vladimir Gottwald, Engraver at the Royal Australian Mint   This proof kangaroo is, in my opinion, the clear number one of the entire Skippy collection. A truly and outstandingly beautiful coin - I hope it goes some way towards mitigation regarding my previous post.   I hereby close the case for the defence and appeal to the jury of my peers.

The 1902 sov seen fine to me.
But I have reservation about the 1911 coin.
It doesn't look right. Judging from the photo, it seems to be a casted copy.
Perhaps others can comment. 

A few more arrivals today. The Bond coin is in perfect condition, it is a guaranteed 70, no doubt about it. I have to congratulate the Royal Mint on this one, the quality and craftsmanship is impeccable. 
 

Some real rarities just arrived today...3 from France, and 1 from Germany.....eventually!
The coin below will need a new entry creating at NGC census. The 1914 POZG and 1915 PVG will only be the second example to be graded by NGC...the last coin, the 1968 BBB ain’t too common either!

Gorgeous 2x50 Belarussian roubles commemorating the wildlife in Braslaw Lakes National Park (Herring Gull) and Narochansky National Park (Mute Swan).
Both are .900 7.2g fine gold and minted by the Mint of Poland in 2006 for the National Bank of Belarus. Not yet the easiest to find but I was able to pick these up at a good price! There are several more in the set that I hope to come across one day

My first junk silver negotiating in a shop. Not sure I did well but it was high time to start 

Just a simple little pick up....but it all adds up!
Thanks to @greenrizz for my new addition.

The postman just came around! 
Dropped off the 2oz silver Bonds, still waiting for the 1/4 gold. Oh, and a bullion sov to go with the gold price rise
The Bond coins seem fine on first inspection. 

All up to date with my 1oz Gold QB with today's delivery......

8 months in the making and one more to go.....
 

Damn! That is a good deal. I would have grabbed them all given a chance 😉

Been a long time since I last photographed my stack, so here goes. The pride of my collection is my Supreme Winner Pool table with Strachan 6811 tournament cloth that I took the pictures on 🤪🤪🤪 The quality of the pictures isn't the best as the light above the Pool table is very bright.
 

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I owe you a favour!!!😀😀😀

When your luck is in, it's in. I remember reading about these years ago, but totally forgot about it. Thanks again.
