Today (recently, lol) I received...
This fantastic and scarce coin which for the time being is the crown jewel of my LMU collection.
The coin is an 1848 Republic of Venice (San Marco) 20 Lire. A one-year edition only, as the revolutions of 1848-49 sweeping Europe generally, and the Italian States in particular, turned out to be fairly short lived.
A total of 5,210 of these absolutely breathtaking 20 Lire coins were minted (I believe in Turin, but I haven't confirmed). The obverse is the Lion of St. Mark, and value within wreath on the reverse.
One thing that I have noticed with graded pieces is there is a prevalence of Prooflike designations for these coins. I've tried to capture the reflective, prooflike nature of this coin but its really difficult to do in photos. In hand, it is amazing to see. A very, very beautiful mirrorlike finish. Angle it in the sunlight the right way and you could signal an airplane with it! One of the nicest coins I've had the privilege to add to the LMU collection and one of the very few raw coins I would consider sending off for grading to validate and conserve it.
 
 

On this rainy miserable day there is a ray of sunlight in the form of these two beauty’s I’ve received from @ChrisSilver, lovely set I’ve been after from a while 👍

@Weirdfish9 your bid of 262.50 was the closest.
gotta admit though when @Lyrinn put 269.69 as a joke qnd became closest for just minutes haha.
 
Piggy bank has £264 so far and running out of room

2021 RM Silver Proof Coin Set with Machin Ten Bob Bit   With a mintage limited to a maximum (and as yet unconfirmed) mintage of 550, I was pleasantly surprised to pick this set up at auction at a delivered price equating to a 60%+ discount on last year's issue price. Even for the RM that is a hefty tumble, so I am led to conclude that the auction house's decision to leave the set in its unopened state and offer only a photo of the outer cardboard box worked heavily in my favour.   Standing head and shoulders above the rest is the Decimal Day 50p with the Arnold Machin obverse, a coin only available in this set. A very good-looking coin.   The RM has clearly subcontracted its research to the likes of the criminally inept Gates funded Full Fact. Quadrupedal invaders are precisely what HG Wells did not describe. Notwithstanding, the coin - much like the Logie Baird 50p - is otherwise not unattractive.   The £5 crown and Walter Scott £2 coin both show the unmitigated lack of imagination that fairly represents the lack of thought so prevalent throughout the UK in 2021.

Ordered a mixed year eagle and got a nice surprise 🙂

I have been blown away by the communities kindness and generosity of late on atleast 4 different occasions all of which unprompted.
I have decided to pay it forward in a similar style to something i had done a few months back in the form of a give away. Anyone can enter wont cost you anything and no particular knowledge of coins needed just good old fashion luck.
I have been saving loose change in 50p,£1 and £2s for a few month now to put towards a dated sovereign for a run.
Il attach pictures of daughters piggy bank in question, closest guess to amount wins and no multiple guesses of the same number if i dont clock 2 of the same numbers claimed il take the 1st person who called it.
Prize is a free 1oz silver britannia i cover 1st class recorded.
I did recorded a time lapse of the coins being counted but phone slipped and caught none of it and im not counting them out again haha. 
 
Draw ends friday so enough folk have time to enter say 9pm 
Edit *to promote the random surprises life sometimes throws you*
