The second gold coin ever issued by Iceland - this one the commemorative 10000 kronur to mark the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Iceland in 874.  Nice design, circulation version (12000 minted only)  - pretty spartan look. Features Ingolfur Arnarson on Viking ship about to throw his posts onto the ground. Has 0.4485 oz of gold. Bought from a good eBay seller from Iceland! 
Here are stock photos - will post the real pics when I get it.

Yup - I saw that chunk out of the rim, and this coin certainly has some stories to tell, at least that's what it think when I see a coin from 1909. I bought it in a very cool shop called Oxbridge Coins (Van Ness and Market, for anyone visiting San Fran) and I can tell you I don't care what the slabbers say! I have never slabbed anything, apart from paths in my garden  and I am not oing to start now! Another thing (now that I am on the topic!) is that you lose the beauty of the rim details - of which there are plenty on this coin. Fascinating history around Roosevelt and St Gaudens as well - but that is well off topic!! Glad you liked it Pipers. 

Today I received a 1/4oz gold American Eagle from Atkinsons. It's a nice looking coin in lovely condition so I may keep an eye out for more of these.
For a moment I thought Atkinsons had given me a free Mexican 50 peso gold coin but alas it turned out to be made of chocolate. Still reasonably pleased with that, though.
 

I've only got the 1oz  Libertads in my collection, now these images have me thinking they need bigger Sisters.

Well it looks like I missed the silver, so I'm back buying silver again.

Don't want to follow the semi-numi path as before, so concentrating on my £/oz average very carefully, as I have done with my gold (12oz at £780 average). No circulated allowed though.

So today I bought a 1kg 2015 kook and a 1kg 2016 lunar S2 monkey, with four 1oz Noah's to make the numbers work.

Added to the two 10oz coins I bought last week, I have 85oz of silver at a sub-£12 average.

Aiming to keep the average under £13 if possible.

Never had a kilo coin before, so quite excited to get them in hand.

The 2015 silver Libertad proofs - 2 and 5 oz. Always stunning coins, such detail.  
Then a big piece of joy today when visiting a San Francisco coin shop : a  characterful 1909 St Gaudens gold $20. It was that or a 2009 gold US 1 ounce Eagle , so the choice was obvious - even if it did cost an extra $200 to land the St Gaudens!

I need to add some of these to my stack!

Finally picked up my third Indian head gold $5 coin, this one a 1911. Enjoying it! 
Really should diversify and buy some other old US designs - but this is my favourite (so far) - so I keep buying them.
