Heirlooms

Today I received this lovely item beautifully packaged by our very own @Jamesd aka liquid metals uk 🙏

1899 Halfcrown
My first silver coin, inspired by the Crown collection of @richatthecroft. I would also like to thank him for all of his help,advice and resource sharing, cheers mate!

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

couple of nice coins today. Crowns inspired by @richatthecroft gorgeous pick ups.








 

something a little different today 
2013 Day of The Dead 1oz silver proof domed round 
 

This isn’t so much a ‘today I received’ post but it’s close enough.
Whilst going through some very old Victorian family photos from my late grandparents house, I found these at the bottom of the box.
I’m intrigued where the 1907, sadly drilled dime came from. I’ll never know.
The 1887 shilling has a nice finish to it.
They put a smile on my face, they wouldn’t grade well but I think they were my great grandfathers.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, now I know where I get it from. 😊

Well, I didn't received the coin today but last week... chuffed to get a 2002 sovereign at last.

My eldest was born back in 2002 and as such this will be a small gesture from dad once she turns 21 😍 Ag & Au... now to complete the two for the next one...

2014 Royal Mint UK Silver Proof Collection   This attractive set of 13 coins holds the little recognised record of having the lowest mintage of any UK silver yearset. Just 368 sets were sold, making the 1p - £1 coins the rarest silver proof coins ever issued in GB, only the BU silver £1 coin of 2009 (mintage of 359) has a greater scarcity among British argentine numismatics.    Needless to say, this set is particularly sought after by collectors and resulted in my having to fork out a not inconsiderable sum in pursuit of my 112th and penultimate ag round pound, the shield pictured below.   Despite numerous  appeals on my part, it appears that not one member of TSF is in possession of a 2012 silver BU pound coin. I am fully chagrined up.  




 

Another 45g of panda goodness! 

Nice little gold addition and plastic addition haha
