Centenario Tuesday.  
Received this México 50 Pesos today.  And thank you @Abyss for the 1/4oz Gold Standard coins.










 
 
 
 

So this is the gem I picked up today, If you know me I love VINTAGE. Seen this gem & I had to have it, who needs two kidneys aye
 
This is my oldest 🇬🇧 SILVER BULLION bar which was born in London in the 60s, Father - Johnson Matthey - Mother (UNKNOWN). Comes in It’s original old wooden crate dated 1968, Folk this is over half a century old 🙌
 
 

DING DONG
 
missed my package yesterday so went to pick it up, Just my luck to find this when I get back 🤦‍♂️😂

Received my lion(s). I start to grow on the design. I showed the coin to my wife and her reaction was: ”Lion in a coffee cup”. 

Big Disney fan 🙂
Rare Mickey Mouse coins:
Mickey and Friends - Carnival in gold  &  Mickey Fantasia in gold + silver

Just got my ice age Goldcoin and 5 oz Silver Black Flags, lets have a closer look & you tube unboxing, thanks for watching!

 

Todays unboxing (assured my wife its the last this year, and for some reason she believed me. I dont even believe me 🤣)

When I saw the mintage figures for the 2020 Proof Half Sovereign - a tiny 2000! - I knew I had to pick one up, especially after my dad ordered the accompanying proof full sovereign. I was quite lucky with the mintage number here, being #308! Second gold coin in my growing stack, and the second half I own.

Sometimes I like to stack spoons...

Ten Queens beasts from @SilverStan
Normally a great seller,But i feel not enough stamps were used to post the item 🤣😂

Today my bars have seen a bit of light after being in the dark for quite a while. 

Thank you to JunkBond and Bullionbilly....why??
I’m not too old to take advice and act upon it...and a big thank you to StackSellRepeat as well.
 
 
 
A rare bar indeed..

Mostly Engelhard.
 

Received these little gems today, not a bad grading result from the same set! Would consider a straight trade for an Aston Martin...

What a lucky lad I am and the gamble I took landed.
Thanks to@Numistacker for all his effort in getting these back to me.  The Sovereign was conserved by NCS prior to Grading as it had been handled and sustained fingerprints.  
And a special thank you to @ilovesilverireallydo For selling this James Butler Sovereign to me in the first instance.  It’s one of my favourite QEII portraits, alongside the Machin and Maklouf but not surpassing Mary Gillick’s effigy.   




 
 

Got these in the post today within less than a day of buying them from @Robjw  
 

One more to go lol

Queen Victoria SOTD sovereign
The RM postage packaging was a lot better than last time I ordered a year ago, actually came in two boxes rather than just a jiffy bag 

2000 and 2001 proof sovs 
2016 1/4oz proof libertad 

For ten years I was a professional photographer. The best way to photograph a shiny object is to use 2-1 lighting from either side angled at 45° and angled down by 60° to the centre line of the line of sight.
It’s a pain in the a*** to do but it works. You’ll get the detail and depth.
The quick and easy method is put a diffuser over the flash unit. If you can, angle it to the side.
There are other methods but it’s 04:10 and I’m not writing an essay at this time in the morning. (The joys of insomnia).

Thank you @morezone  😊

Thanks @shawy2510 for the Half Sovereigns and @HighlandTiger for sending me my Favourite design of Britannia. 

This post is  a few days old but I order this 1959 sovereign on EBay. I'm nervous that it may be a fake but someone checked the serial number on the slab and it's seems to be real but I hear that people steal real serial numbers and use them to fool people into thinking that will receive a real coin. Anyways, all you British people have wonderful gold coins and thank you @Numistacker for all the sovereign videos as this purchase was because of you. As an American, I could buy a lot more of these than pre 33 gold. 

Will you get it conserved by NCS first before grading?
It appears some idiot has drawn on it with a marker pen 😋
