Libertad Friday.
Thanks to Sören of @muenzdachs for this little lot of Banco De México's finest Silver. 
The 2017 35th Anniversary of the Libertad Silver Bar & Coin Set is a step nearer to me holding one of each of the releases that the Mexican Mint produced that year.  




 





 

Got this today, yes, today...ok, yesterday but I needed to check it was all good...18k, VVS diamonds and superb saphires....custom piece another add to my treasure chest, the best way to stash gold I think.
 

This has to be the pic of the day! 

Received these 2016 1/20th Libertads today care of @ilovesilverireallydo Thanks. 

I bought this 2017 1 Onza Libertad from @kneehow2018 in Summer 2018, But only submitted it recently- back today from NGC- and very pleased with the PF70 UC result.



And at last, the 2017 Libertad 5 coin ‘set’ altogether.  
All bought individually from the Silver Forum over the last 18 months or so.  Thanks to @augur, @austack, @kneehow2018 & from the USA @mongo28 for parting with them. 



 
 

At long long last..my date run of French 20 Francs Angels is complete, and comes to an end (and an expensive one☹️)!. With kind assistance from @augur I managed to get the ‘Torch’ engravers mark on an 1896....bought at the Gadoury auction in Monaco earlier this month. 
 


This will fit in nicely with the little hoard below...note the difference between the two 1896’s.

Tried to get a decent full spread shot, like some of you guys manage to take, but failed miserably.
New camera for Christmas. 🤔
 

Stack update.

Condensed Silver stack down now. Probably will keep it at this as its too heavy to transport. 

Only looking to add the 2012 and victoria anniversary sovs to this i think. Then it will just be bullion sovs going forward.
Have the new lion in the post on the way. Will then get the last 2 and that will be me. Probably just brits going forward.

Not a coin but coin related. A Harrison's improved sovereign balance. The coin needs to be the right weight to balance and the correct thickness fit through the slots.
 

I have been itching to buy some shiny stuff recently but the spot price has been putting me off somewhat. Spotted this on Atkinsons’ website on Thursday for £365 delivered. I have quite liked this since release but not at £480 the Royal Mint are asking. It came complete with all packaging etc. 
Itch scratched... for now!

Finally completed my set of these Intaglio Greek  coin inspired 2 oz rounds. Thanks to @SilverStan

Isn't it fun when a bunch of your purchases arrive at the same time 

Big thanks to @BackyardBullion @SilverTrader @arshimo2012 & @Sparrowlegs4

The Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea Coins were only minted in 1950 and 1957, I think your coin is a modern reproduction of the coin and could still be 22-carat gold a bit like the jeweler's copies of sovereigns from the middle east some times with 22 stamped on them. The reason I think this is your coin looks to weakly struck and very soft detail with no obvious signs of wear. I hope you get to the bottom of the mystery and look forward to what you find out

Many thanks to @Lr103 who was absolutely amazing in helping me acquire and receive some georgeous coins. 
This is just a little selection to give you all a little flavour for the London Coin Show,  where there will be more than just sovereigns...

Finally got some time to get latest received photographed...
Huge “Thanks!!” To @silverroller for a magnificent 2008 Gold Sovereign Proof to add to the modern sovereign proof collection. Also “a case of beer” from me for my first ever crypto purchase with @silverroller...a great help in working through the nuances of crypto wallets!

Additionally, @silverroller included some surprise silver coins which I didn’t have in my collection...a 1944 Silver Mercury dime, an 1887 Shilling and an 1889 Florin! Top bloke @silverroller!!

Adding to the Backyard Bullion collection, a couple 2019 1oz  TSF bars and the No. 01, 2019 100g silver BYB Bar! Thank you @BackyardBullion and Mrs. @BackyardBullion for fantastic silver hand pours and top-notch packaging!

Also, @BleyerBullion sent me the latest 2019 2 oz Silver Bleyer Poured Owl Bar in partnership with @BackyardBullion and supporting a great cause with The Barn Owl Trust!

Lastly, added the latest Royal Mint 2019 A Celebration of Sherlock Holmes 50p Silver Proof Piedfort.

Sooo heavyyy @Bullionbilly

Nice work.
 

Got my massive 2110gm (67.8 oz) delivery of @StackerQueen hand poured Marvel and DC Characters. I love how raw they are. All hallmarked too  

Nice case for my Lunar I set (along with some tubes and a slab case) from @morezone
 

I know, that some, might not agree, but i think, these coins are special enough, to be in my collection. 

This month was “add to the stack” 
Picked up five 2 oz Monarch poured bars and a 1/4 oz kuggerand.  The kuggerand is beautiful, I’ll have to save up for a 1 oz.
Brings the current stack up to 460 oz silver and 3.16oz of gold.

Bought a 1905 $2.50 Liberty quarter eagle, 1907 $10 Liberty eagle, and a 1932 $10 Indian eagle for my gold type set.  Only need the $3 and all 3 types of the $1 to complete the set.
