Received this today:
 

2020 Britannia 3 Coin Gold Proof Set.
Really liked the design on this one so I picked up a set and had it graded.
Very happy with the results, although NGC just cant seem to get the coins level in the holders 



 

Beautiful George and Edward sovereigns in nice packaging received today from @ilovesilverireallydo 

Happy birthday to me.... 🎂

2 ladies in one week. 250g to go with her 10oz sister. Thanks @arshimo2012. Glad I was on the forum when this beauty popped up

Postman making me a happy chappy today
Some reasonably high grade half crowns- 1888 Victoria and 1915 and 1916 KGV. The 1916 has a lovely dark toning to it and better eye appeal, but I think the 1915 is in better condition so decided to put that one in the folder- tough decision really.
An ok 1821 crown but with a few obverse scratches that are quite deep.
Larger than crown sized German 5 mark from the state of Wuerttemberg great condition for the age and size and a lovely feel to it.

More in my world crowns collection. 
these are stunning coins but highly faked for some reason. 

I think I went a little bit crazy on gold purchasing this week 🤪
But I’m proud to say that I bought all of these pieces from the forum.
Thanks @kneehow2018 for the 1oz Britannians. 
Thanks @TheGoldSovereign for the jubilee head.
Thanks @arshimo2012 for the proof Double sovereign.
And Thank you very much @UnoWho for the beautiful 1oz panda , I will not hesitate buying coins from him in the future, he’s a very reliable seller. 

Recieved the latest installment of the Perth Mint Figure of Eight series - 2020 Phoenix & Dragon coin. Nice series and something different. Great ornamental pieces! 
Released so far; 2018 Dragon / Dragon, 2019 Koi Fish, 2020 Phoenix / Dragon.

Just a little Queens beast catchup mostly.

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
 
 

Love this stuff

 
Now sealed and protected and off to the vault 😄

My first silver arrived today. Three separate deliveries, two from this forum. Thanks @Emanuel and @GavinDevon.
