These fantastic coins arrived through my door at 0830 this morning, less than 16 hours after @matt1r posted them. A birthday gift for a friend who was schooled in France in the 60’s. Super happy. Silver once again comes to the rescue.

Had this delivered today as I was inspired by @Goldfever20 post yesterday and to be honest, a little intimidated by Greta Thunberg pointing a pistol at me!! 

Killer JM bankers bar with the most amazing natural toning

Added a couple of bars to my stack thanks to @Tangomachine and @Webster my stack is a wee bit heavier now! 🤪

Thanks to @Panda6Pack for hooking me up with this absolute beauty. Pretty sure the pic won't do it justice but it's exquisite in hand.
 

Thanks to @1stsovereign and @ilovesilverireallydo for these beauties!

Got given this from my youngest daughter today. A mini sterling silver tankard. Great for filling with rum or.... With mini ship gold coins!! 

Q: When you can combine two things that you love, should you?
A: Yes - especially if it's art and PMs.
2Oz Ultra-high relief silver coin and, for the life of me, I just can't take a picture that really helps this one stand out as much as it does. It has probably the cleanest detail lines I've ever seen on a coin. Truly, The Polish Mint is astounding for quality. There's so many layers of things going on that it is now my favourite coin. You can just see the cats either side of Freyja in this one, but they pop out at other angles. One day, I hope to have some of my art made into coins like this - gotta have a dream somewhere...!
 
Thanks to@PowerCoin

A wonderful unc 1887 yh half crown

Big thanks to @Schack for today's arrivals 

Look what turned up today.... My ten world 1/10ths conquest has ended with these two absolute belters of coins. 

4 x 2022 silver Britannias along with the 1oz silver 3 graces bar and a 1984 1/10oz gold krugerrand being my biggest spend for a while on precious metals. Not much but my missus keeping a beady eye on my spending. 

10oz and 2x 2oz lion of England. A single eagle (because…premiums 😱) and even a 007 bar just for fun. 

‘21 Congo gorillas , ‘22 phillys and this years Noah’s ark. Love Scottsdale mint. 

An Australian 1925 sterling silver threepence with two die cracks evident.
Probably also the smallest coin I have!

Some nice bits today. 5oz PM tiger, the more Rectangular dragons. 5oz particularly lovely. 

Indeed one of the best relatively new "one-animal" series, Royal Australian Mint does a great job. 

A tube of silver Brits dangling from each ear? 

It's no joke, Lawrence... so many tragic boating accidents, so many stacks lost to the bottom of the lake/sea (delete as appropriate).
With your shop being so close to open water, I'm surprised you can keep any floating stock... 

There seems to be a private joke among some TSF members about boating accidents. Does this Count?

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought this was a fake.
As the shipwreck was in 1784, this coin may have been in mint condition when it was shipped and sank, in which case, what looks like wear must be due to corrosion due to seawater, perhaps aided by currents.

I don't know who wrote on the certificate, but they have put my initials on it!

... a cargo of more that(?) 400,000 coins.

Got to love Perth Mint coins…
 

Never asked for a replacement, just called to let them know, that both Gothic coins came with open capsules and some other capsules ain't closing. Today i received two new capsules by the mint. Didn't expect that, very nice👍
Also, after a couple of years, the 18th issue of the Greek Culture 10€ series, Xenophon. As always a very nice, perfect proof coin by Athens Mint. 
From Perth Mint the 2022 Koala. Lovely design after many years of almost same looking Koala coins. And Tuvaluan 2021 Sunny Ottifant, i guess only german speaking people remember Otto Waalkes. German comedian with quiet a special humor. Second of his coins by the Perth Mint. 

Thanks to @modofantasma for letting me know this little beauty had popped up on a certain dealers site (no prizes for guessing which one it might have been with the 2 FOC brits accompanying it 😉)
Been after this first issue 2016 Gold Standard for some time now. Love these coins! The coin is in near as damn it perfect condition too! Any marks you see are on my airtite cap.
That's all 4 bullion releases tucked up in my stack.....2016, 2018, 2019 & 2020. Shame the mint missed out 2017 🤷🏻‍♂️

received this yesterday. 
Put it on the wrong page.

Got a few of these today... great in hand thanks to @SilverTrader
