Adding a bit of variety to my stack.
Bought from the forum. Delivered today. Courtesy of @GavinDevon Top bloke👌
 

Forgot to add received the 2000 the other week from @Booky586 thank you and a cracking deal on the half thanks too @sovereignsteve
Its great to be here the amount of trust required between members on the forum and for the most part how everyone looks out for one another 🙏🙏

I haven't seen this Laotian coin mentioned anywhere on the forum. Not a country well known for its coins, but this really is a particularly attractive silver piece - so I bought an ambush of them.

DING DONG!!!
 
New Purchases 😍😍😍

Tip off from StackerNoob, first order from Eldarado. Great experience and top packaging. Will definitely order again sometime

Some more of my beloved Beasts.. and a half Sov

Love this stuff

 
Now sealed and protected and off to the vault 😄

Well the last of my auction wins arrived today, need to place some more bids on stuff that's ending tomorrow.
Got these two .500 silver shillings, a 1939 dated Scottish and a 1945 dated English versions, production of each type for these years are as follows,
1939 dated Scottish  10,263,800 minted
1945 dated English    15,143,400 minted
 


 
 
And these two, there its lots of lustre on both of these but its hard to show in the pics, and the tiny 10 Cent coin you can see all the tiny stress cracks from when it was made when its highly magnified.
These were bargain wins, with both for under £5
These are United States of America Philippines 1944 dated .750 silver coins, pre 1941 dated coins are harder to come by as nearly all were dumped into the sea to stop the Japanese getting hold of silver and other useful metals that they were seriously short of when they invaded the Philippines , so any found are usually in bad condition from being under the sea, with the islands being retaken by the USA in 1944, production was restarted to equip the country with currency again, the coins be produced by the Denver Mint, production for the two denominations are as follows,
1944 dated 10 Centavos    31,592,000 minted
1944 dated 20 Centavos   28,596,000 minted
 
 

Received these wonderful 2020 1 oz The Silver Forum bars (#92, #94) from @BackyardBullion! Excellent addition to the annual series!



 
Also, the seventh of eight in the Chia Re-strike series! Here are five handsome 2020 China 1 oz Silver Twin Dragon Dollar Restrike (PU)...





Also, an added Wedge-Tailed Eagle to the Australia WTE collection with this lovely 2015 1 oz Silver Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle High Relief Proof! (The coin is in pristine condition, with the capsule being scuffed)

 

 
And a bit of US space history received! A 
1988 Gold Space Shuttle-America in Space Young Astronaut Medal (0.24187 oz Gold).
Congress approved legislation authorizing this medal; the bill was signed by President Reagan on March 12, 1986, becoming Public Law 99-295. The authorizing law specified that 10 percent of the revenue from sales was to go to the Young Astronaut Council's annual budget. The medals' obverse design was chosen from more than 17,000 entries submitted by YAC student members from across the country. Designed by Brian Kachel, then 12, of Jersey City, N.J., it features a space shuttle in flight. The design was sculptured by Mint sculptor-engraver Chester Y. Martin. The obverse design incorporates the inscriptions LIBERTY and the year 1988. The reverse, designed by Robert Ahlcrona, features a right-facing eagle, with its wings spread, perched on top of the Young Astronauts Program logo surrounded by stars. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and YOUNG ASTRONAUTS are incorporated into the design.


 
Lastly, not a PM, but what should be a must for any Sovereign lover! A Royal Mint Gold Sovereign paperweight! This one is a 1984 dated Sovereign!

The Beasts 

I only collect the silver 2oz and silver 10oz, looking fab in the custom made boxes by Alun. 
Getting closer to the end, it's exciting stuff.

I personally don't see gold going that low anytime soon.  The 1/4 oz gold is what I'm collecting and nearly finished.  Would love to do full 1 oz but that's a hefty sum.  A few of the silver coins I'll get doubles.  The Lion of England is so great looking, as an example.

@marco88  You'll get no argument here re the Queens beast series, it is IMHO the best modern collectable series out there bar none.

hi All, 
just wanted to share my experience ...if not here...where else?? 😊
I recently received 8 Queen's beasts and got hook up to silver. Those are beautiful pieces and the design is just stunning.
My favourite is definitely the Griffon. The level of details are just something else. Also I got to read about them and learning about British heritage!
I'm new to silver, but it's a wonderful world!

Hi Guys, this is aimed mainly at Newbies although not exclusively so, please do a search before asking a question.the chances are it will have been covered in depth before.
 
Part of our hobby involves hunting and searching for information on coins and PM's,so increasing our knowledge on our subject,  it is a good discipline to get into.
 
If you can't find the answer to your question after a couple of searches no problem post one.
 
Thanks guys.
