A well circulated 1889 Morgan (for every day fondling purposes), and an unusual Shanghai Expo 5x30g bar set in a fancy little box. I bought this because it was under spot, I have no idea if its anything more collectable than bullion.

I imagine this to a magnetic turd of a ingot I've just bought. But Amazon can have fun sorting that out when I get it (in a few days time apparently??).
Fun times

Thanks to @jbh, adding this wonderful 1943 Mexico Gold 50 Pesos. Of note this is a one and only variety of the Gold 50 Pesos, with a mintage of 89,000, and were minted on the occasion of the centennial of independence. The denomination does not appear on this coin.

This is my latest pickup a 1942 dated 'Mercury headed' Dime (or 10 Cents), made from .900 silver by the Philadelphia mint.
This coin design was brought out in 1916 replacing the previous 'Barber Dime' coin, it was manufactured unchanged until 1945 when it was replaced by the Roosevelt Dime design.
The first thing that shocked me when I was first looking at wartime versions of these coins was the fascine on the reverse, this was Italy's dictatorships emblem used by Mussolini, and where they got the word 'fascist' from, it was only when I realised that the design was used on the US coin long before he used it and not the other way around.
The front featured what looked like the Greece god Mercury, but I think it was Liberty wearing a winged cap with it meaning freedom of thought.
Many millions of these were made for nearly three decades, different mints, errors and weakness of the strike from worn dies effecting the value as well as condition, apart from whether or not a coin has all its original mint lustre one way to check the wear on these coins is if you can see the separate little bands holding the fascine's together, if the top and bottom ones look one piece (instead of two) then the coin is probably worn, the centre one can also wear down BUT, a coin like mine that has all its mint lustre probably was made from a worn die making the centre band look like a one piece.
The coins were made by three mints, one had no mint mark the others had letters denoting theirs, this could be found bottom left of the fascine.
Philadelphia, no mark
Denver, a D
San Francisco, an S
My coin had a mintage of a colossal 205,432,329 million minted in 1942 alone, by just the Philadelphia mint, so they are common but also not as easy to find in AU/UNC condition possibly due to the soft high silver content in them and long time in service, which to this day are still legal tender in the USA.
