Heirlooms

2021 Mexican libertad 5oz. My first ever 5oz silver coin. 

I know it's not silver or gold but still a great coin and I can't believe the size of these things must be one of the biggest coins to ever be in circulation. 
1797 cartwheel two penny 

This is more a @SilverMike appreciation post than anything. Massive shout out for your help in getting this one into my long term collection and getting it graded in a P(er)F(ect)70. Such a great coin

Sent this off to NGC to have the obverse facing the front. Think it looks much better this way around. Most definitely in my collection for the long term 😊

Picked this up on the forum a while back and had it graded. I know there has been a lot of scepticism about the 323 mintage number that was published in the latest Marsh Gold Sovereign book but whether its 323 or 650 its still one of the lowest sovereign mintages ever. Now managed to collect the most significant SOTD coins (in my humble opinion). Next years one could also be a good one with the special reverse

You can have smaller ones. Somewhere inside the slab is a half gram Koala

I just love this series. And the Dingo is a really nice one. Really nice details on every coin. Kangaroo & Dingo my favorite ones.
Niue / Australia at night - The Dingo
1 OZ Black Proof
 
 

This little beauty arrived today, my first foray into older Sovereign's but I couldn't resist... 200 next year!  I need to consider if it's worth grading, part of me says yes, another part prefers capsules?

Sorry for the bad pics, old phone which I refuse to upgrade while it's working 😂

Also received these no cost

Smallest coin I have ever owned…

A very nice and what appears to be, a very honest and straight George V 1927 Silver Proof Set.  15,030 Proof Silver Sets were produced in 1927.  
 
The 1927 ‘Wreath’ Crown was the first Crown issued for George V and the first since the 1902 Edward VII Matte Proof Crown. 
It was an Impromptu Sunday evening eBay gamble.  It’s been on my want list for quite some time and I don’t know why I left it quite so long- it’s a beautiful Set. 





 

Something a little different from my sovereign collection arrived today.
This 1918 Canadian George V 50 Cent coin, .925 silver with some nice toning for its 103 year age.
Thanks again @DuncanWylieWilson

Colossus of Rhodes - the 1st round in the 7 Wonders of the World series. Nice round and very good Gift Box Tin - also available from Apmex separately for 5 usd. 
+ 2 coins from Prehistoric Life series + Equlibrium 2020 (very nice) + African Ounce 2020 Okapi
 

My first addition since 2019 amazingly (got hooked on crypto, the shiny has brought me back...huzzah!)
2019 1 oz Gold Buffalo, amazing how my camera washes out the gold from the picture... this thing is really gold as opposed to the modern coppery sovereign! I think my favourite bullion gold coin.

I love these Australia sovereigns . Another for the collection . I'd like to complete the set.

Nice! Literally just got home to see the 2 that I sent. Got a 65 EPQ and was lucky enough to get a 66 EPQ. Going to keep them as a reminder of the silent killer that is inflation can do to my hard earned fiat currency which isn’t worth anything in the 1st place 😩
