Some silver USA coinage from auctions.
The boxed Kennedy has iridescent tones of purple, turquoise and burgundy on both sides, which is pleasing to turn in the light. Not so easily photographed.
Another Kennedy is either polished or proof-like from some kind of set, not sure.
The 1929 quarter is surprisingly sharp - pics don't quite show all the wing and tail feathers and the Liberty shield and legends have no wear. Nice surprise, for a junk sale.

This morning started of dry and cloudy then about 10.30am three young Victorian ladies from Melbourne came a calling. Sorry for the poor pics but they ladies will be encapsulated later today. My thanks to Nimistacker for my new interest in the Melbourne ladies. 

Received this 2017 strike on the day BU sovereign purchased from a US seller on eBay. Have another one which was just graded PR69DCAM by PCGS (was rated as a PR coin although it's a BU coin) and so will have another go with this one and hope for the elusive 70 grading.  

2018 Silver Swan (5)
2012 1/10oz Gold Eagle
1886-S $5 Gold Liberty BU
 
Mail man was busy today
 
 

I always wanted to get a 2013 India MS70 Sovereign but even with nearly 500 graded as MS70 not so easy to find at a decent price.
And mounted the wrong way round in the holder!! Does that count as an error?
Joking......

1856 Half Sov, tatty obverse, eBay bad photos. Not a bad price though.

1918 India Sov

2006 Proof Half Sovereign
2 x 2017 Full Sovereigns
Couple of Double 8 Guernesey Silver Pieces
Nice additions to the stack

Spur of the moment buy (it was in a shop window!) £165 1788 Gold Half Guinea
 

A couple of coins turned up after a bump ride, thanks for the brilliant Royal Mail service, and thanks to @oliversw5 for the panda , the 1937 already on its way to @Numistacker，let’s see what it will turn out with 

Received the £5 2016 coin today with the James Butler effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Very happy with the 69DCAM grade.

Second portrait added to my small young head collection.
1866 half sovereign.
 

Here is the rarest 1/4oz Krugerrand. Mintage... 60 
In 1980, the SA mint intoduced the first fractionnal coins and only 60 "VIP sets" were minted with three fractionnals proof  coins (1/10, 1/4 and 1/2 oz)
Not perfect, but I have been really lucky to get this one at a good price. It seems that there is just 2 or 3coins graded  with PGCS  and  NGC 

Been waiting 4-6 weeks for these.  Crazy premium against spot but fully expected for these kinds of things.  Few other pieces as well which I'll showcase when I get some time and daylight.
Iron Man Bust in 24k gold weighing ~18.6g
Kylo Ren's Light Sabre in 24k gold weighing ~18.1g
Luke Skywalker's Light Sabre in 24k gold weighing ~20g
 


 
 

A friend managed to track down thisGeorge Rupee date run in India, and I just received it. There was a premium but much lower than I would have paid trying to acquire these locally in auctions or eBay. 
One has gorgeous rainbow toning.

New member, Just started this month. 4 queens beast lions silver 2oz coins ordered today 

2 and 5 oz Reverse proof Libertads 2017 at a decent price.
Mintage 2000 each and first year for these sizes, not low but a new version.
I now hope that the design will change in the next few years to come so it could become scarce (I just speculate  ) 
 
Not my photos...
