1983 proof silver and brass

 

 

New to the panda family , thanks @Numistacker for bringing them across the pond 

456 grams 999 silver round designed based on the Gothic Crown.  Bought couple of pence over spot so very happy despite a small drill hole on the edge. 

Well finally arrived today.  It took a couple weeks longer then they expected to ship.  I think there were some casting difficulties.  Heads or Tales 30+ oz silver Britannia statue.  This thing is fantastic!  I love their products.

@Ares  Some still like sovereigns - Got this from @Quicksand005 today.

Today, I purchased the last Dragon 2018 5oz Silver Antiqued Coin  from the Perth mint they were only available to buy for 7 hours, I also ordered 1 on eBay, guess the next 1 will be the 10oz version in 2019

I got _extremely_ lucky and got one of these sets for _a lot_ less than what i should have paid. The first genuine deal I've ever had at an auction.
I had been eyeing this up for ages now.
United Nations 1995 Silver Proof 36 coin set (with all COA's - this alone is very rare).
There were only 1394 of these sets ever made, most of them got broken up from the sets, though some of the coins exist separate (in their own individual presentation cases).
Some really notable coins in here, the lowest mintage Irish coin (ever), Moroccan 200 dirhams, Argentine Peso, Norwegian 50 Kroner, Latvia 1 Lat, Uruguay $200, Oman 1 Rial, GB £2
The list goes on. Estimated Value is about 1000 quid, I guess. Maybe more.
 
Has anybody got one of these?
 
 
I placed a bid, thinking I'd just lose, but if you're not in, you can't win.
Imagine my delight when I got the email that i'd won it.

(This set is not my one in the picture, but the same deal.)
 
 

A teeny tiny panda ? 

Last week I received two nice items, but very different from each other.
The first is a nice coin from Burundi from the Baby five series. I've been looking for a coin from Burundi for longer, but I really don't like their design in the African lion series. I managed to get this one for a reasonable price in an online auction. It came without the original box, but I think the price makes up for it. I really love the design on this one. The high relief combined with the antiquing really makes it pop out. In real life it looks a bit better than photos with the light playing of it.
The other one is a cool item is native silver of a calcite base. Not for stacking of course, but nice to have the range of silver in it's original form, bars and coins. I love the fine detail on it.

1959 Mexico Gold 20 Pesos with a beautifully detailed Cuauhxicalli Eagle Bowl Aztec Calendar or Sun Stone and edge inscription “INDEPEDENCIA Y LIBERTAD”. Thank you very much to @JunkBond for his advice and inspiration in adding some Mexican gold to the collection.
Also, five 2013 Great Britain 1/4 oz Silver Britannia SS Gairsoppa BU. Having a beautiful portrait of Britannia with the ship’s name as an edge inscription in a lasting tribute to Gairsoppa and her crew.

 
 

Received this yesterday.  Thanks to all who offered sound buying advice to me.  Beautiful coin.

For information Goldsilver.be has really good prices : 49,85 Euros

2oz Lunar 2 Monkey - Been after one for a while and great price also

I just received a BU 1908 St Gaudens a couple weeks ago, and they are magnificent coins in hand.  Congrats!

Just hoping this one is genuine!
 

Nice beast with eBay 20% off

Finally keep my PF70 collection updated [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Hello, bought the new 2018 2oz silver proof "Dragon & Tiger" high relief coin from the Perth Mint yesterday. Mintage of 1,500. Hope you like it. 

2018 Niue 5 oz Double Dragon, and a 10 oz 9 Fine Mint bar from APMEX. the bar is small in height and width, but about 3x as thick as an average 10 oz bar. Makes for a very satisfying chunk in your hand.  Also received 8 90% silver U.S. quarters.

Wowser

In another register ... at a "slightly" higher price per ounce
Mint of Poland Gods serie (first was Ares) 2oz Antique high relief. Mintage 500 ex

Now I have to buy some Britannias in order to lower my average stack price/oz
