2 x shillings however one weighs in at 5.59 and the other 5.61g any thoughts?
And 2 x 6d’s

Just the one, yet doesn't seem quite right somehow

Some special and semi_key Pandas
Elusive Bimetallics : 
Hard to find the 1996 Munch coin show  (mintage 1500) at 25/30% below market price
 
 
The bimetallic 10 Yuan 1994 Mintage 3000. Beautiful overall and nice silver  toning for a nice price,  but will need conservation if graded

Semi key  1/2oz 2006 with 10% premium

Key 1/10 oz Panda 2006. I bought it at Metal Market Europe (first time and last time buy). But very disapointed with the quality and MME reply when I asked for a refund. They said that Pandas are only bullion coins and not numismatic coins, when I argued about the (high) premium, they said it's normal for fractionnal coins (150% premium, ouch....). I hope to send it back however and everything will be fine
 

To truly understand my obsession with world and fractional coins you have to just see my this months acquisition  
Thankfully dropping this lot off to be parked in long term storage tomorrow.
Apart from the two Timothy Noad half sovs and the Paul Day quarter sov, it’s all stuff a stacker shouldnt be hoarding lol. 
 

Nothing too exciting these last few weeks. Likely to go on a little spending spree on Friday to round off 2019. 
My first 1oz Dragon Bars (2018), thanks to our very own @Guybrush

And a single 2020 1oz Britannia as a gift to a good friends baby over in Portugal to continue a date run for her birthday 'rainy day fund'.

Not collected yet but had some NGC results land today... here are a few of the shiny shiny ones....
 2017 Newton Gold 50p (My favourite gold 50p design)

Nations of the Crown Gold £1 (Possibly for sale)

2013 Strike on the Day Jubilee Sovereign (very hard to get one of these in this grade as they are bullion sovs for the early SOTD so VERY happy with this finally)

2002 Bullion Half Sov. Submitted cos when i brought it looked rather minty.. and it was indeed minty getting a 69DPL grade!

And then this is a bit of a random one - I submitted a 1977 Proof UK Set and asked if they would also slab the medal for me, just cos it goes with the set. They did and graded it, worth nowt but looks good with the set (collect what you love, its not all about the money!)  

 

Thanks @5huggy
 For more shiny stuff!

Had to go and re buy this beauty after selling mine to @Robjw didn’t think I would miss it but I’m not letting this one go. 
Now to stay on beans on toast until new year so I can buy the other two. 😬
 

Something I did not expect arrived today from the European Mint and was freely given, 2 copper rounds and 1/2 oz 2 Dollar Canada coin. Hopefully European Mint also rectified issue @Pete posted about random year coins on which I commented that has brought about this early Xmas gift.

A little bit of liquorice allsorts from postie today, very pleased with the Canadians, just need a couple more to complete the date run... And of course they'll be the expensive ones 😂

And then collected these from @StackSellRepeat
Again really happy with the fractionals slabbed so perfect 
And the extra coin shows he goes the extra mile 
Top bloke 👍

It has been a while but a big thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo
Very nice chain and some nice old crowns 
Top bloke as always
Many thanks👍

The wifes xmas presents turned up today so a quick peek before she steals them off me. Massive thank you to @vicamy for the 1/4 krugg and a few other forum members for the other bits 

1911 half sov. Thanks to @HighlandTiger
 

At long long last..my date run of French 20 Francs Angels is complete, and comes to an end (and an expensive one☹️)!. With kind assistance from @augur I managed to get the ‘Torch’ engravers mark on an 1896....bought at the Gadoury auction in Monaco earlier this month. 
 


This will fit in nicely with the little hoard below...note the difference between the two 1896’s.

Another 1/5 Peru Libra added to the collection. Not easy to get these cheap, got it at spot after rescuing it from the melt pile! 

Not received today, actually back in September when my wife and I did the Royal Mint Gold VIP tour. During the tour you can strike your own sovereign and here it is! 

My first Indian Sovereign, my first gold Mark and my first graded Sovereign (Canadian, label cut off in the photo)
Thanks to @gold and @augur

A very nice 1918 Indian sovereign. 

A couple of gold coins showing the dichotomy of our ever changing world stage...
Firstly, a beautiful 1893 $5 Gold Liberty Head Half Eagle.


And an attractive 1951 Gold Iran 1 Pahlavi BU...oh, how times have changed.


 

Stunning grade well done, you don't see that many grading that well...
