A small collection of Royal Mint bars.

i have shown these before but this is a good place to post them again. A few PAMP kilo bars

Just picked up two $2.50 gold liberty heads. 1854 & 1889

These two bars in their omp.

Not posted any new arrivals for some time, just don't have time to photograph stuff at the moment!
However, a I have a couple of interesting shields that people may be able to comment on.
1872 Full - Melbourne mint, R according to marsh, seems in pretty good condition so happy with this pickup at 270



 
1872 Half - "Nose to T", but with a die number? "86". Marsh's says that only the branch mints have versions of this coin, so wondering if there are other examples?
 


 
1875 Half - Noticed the Die number is unrecorded in Marsh "305", who will keep records of new discovered dies going forward?

Thought I'd add a pic of my daughters bar stack, just putting away a delivery from @arshimo2012

My first gold coin a 1/4oz 2009 gold nugget from Chards

A couple of bars for megans stack, thanks @arshimo2012

First ever pick up from Atkinsons and first royal mint gold I like the brittania but the sov has to grow on me

an 1877 shield sovereign, which would have been nice if not for the rim damage..

2017 Kookaburra Shark and Rooster Privy, 2017 Koala Kangaroo Privy, 2017 Britannia 20th Anniversary Privy, Welcome to Silverbug Island  - Whirlpool Round, Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (White Horse of Conquest) Round, Royal Mint Refinery - Small Shield Round and 2017 New Zeland Mint Niue Panda.
1oz Gold 1988 South Korean Seoul Olympics - 1986 Turtle Boat Proof coin.  Came with box and COA.  They issued coins from 1986 onward for the olympics.  Only 92.5% fine so has a gross weight of 33.626g and 35mm in diameter.

Today I received my 2 lucky dip 5g gold bars from HGM.

From Arshi, the 2nd in the Kookaburra Evolution Companion Series and is the 2002 Evolution of Time.  5 coin series starting 2001 with Calendar, Time, Knowledge, Numbers and Alphabet.  Originally proof antiqued coins with box & COA with mintage of 15k ish but this is just coin only.  Shame there's a crack in the capsule.  Will replace it one day.  No idea why there's mention of Kookaburra.
I forget how good a 10oz coin feels in hand.

Time for something different from Armenia
 

2008 gold 1/4 proof brit.  A tiny finger print smudge just above the queens crown and a few white specks, but for 290 posted bargain I'd say ?.

1817 Full Sov
well worth the wait  

New Perth Mint 2017 Dragon & Phoenix 1 oz Silver High Relief Proof Coin.  Mintage limited to 5,000 coins.  So far, the only dealer I've found carrying this new release is Directcoins.com  A representative at Talisman said at this time they do not anticipate offering this coin.

I received some good news from NGC today. NGC did give me a detached wing attribution on my 2015 1/2oz gold Proof Libertad.

Today my 1997 silver maple arrived, well thumbed by the looks of it. Not the tidiest example I've got of this date
My wife surprised me in town today as we passed a stall and bought me this Cayman Island sterling silver $25 coin that weighs just a little over 51 grams.
The seller said he got them cheap as he did have three of them. A nice unexpected addition for my collection

These three beauties were in the mail today. In real, they really do look great! 

Bought a 10oz maple. Got to say, very very nice in person.
 

I received afew nice things from NGC today. [emoji5][emoji4]
I wonder why everything is upside down?
