Some of the kilo silver bars we bought a few weeks ago:
If we had more time, we could have arranged them into some more imaginative stacks and towers.
Maybe next time!

This arrived in the post today, a British Malaya 20 Cents coin, dated 1943, the coin was only minted in three years, 1939, 1943 and 1945.
This design of coin was first minted in 1939 in .750 silver, 8 million were produced,
in 1943 the silver content was reduced to .500 and only 5 million were minted,
the last year for the silver coins was 1945 with 8 million minted, what gets me is that the 20 Cents was the highest denomination that country had, was it a poor country back then ? postwar there was a 50 Cents coin and after the country became part of Malaysia dollars appeared.
Thats all the silver Malaya coins I wanted now, got a few more coins I am waiting for and bidding on, will have to see how they do.

This truly lovely 1885 Proof of Record half penny. Very rare, as not a proof year. The red / brown lustre is stunning in hand but I just cant capture in the photo’s - sorry. Also awaiting a halfpenny MS64 RB to put along as makes a nice presentation (i think!)

Some good news for me, postie finally delivered some items I had been waiting for (still got a lot to come yet), got some capsules for my Malaya silver 5 Cents, got the next size up so that they will also fit the silver 3 pence I want to get eventually,
Also got this really nice .640 silver Curacao/Netherlands 1/4 Gulden these coins were minted at the Denver mint in the USA (no wonder they look so nice) , they were only minted in 1944 and 1947 with 1.5 million being made in 1944, a shout out to @dicker , thanks for helping me on this one.

I've had a couple where the certificate number was verified but the coin was not on the census - or the other way around, just contact NGC and they usually correct things quickly.
The reason may be that it was recently graded and thus not made it to online census yet, or it was graded a long time ago (in an old holder) and just not been added to the census, or it is just a mistake. Given the number of yours I would guess the former!

Another import from the US of A 🇺🇸, Miami this time...and no customs charge😃.
I have an example of a 1968, but have never seen a ‘Proof Like’ Una Libra before... so ‘had to have it’👍
I can find the coin on the NGC verification page, but cannot find it listed on the census...any ideas as to where It might be recorded would be appreciated.

Another collectibles order having come in. One I had to wait over a month for, it took a while before my LCS had the silver proof 2020 Britannias in.
So yeah, one of the 3 coins is a silver proof 2020 Britannia. The other 2 being a silver 2019 Columbia Allegories, and a (ridiculously small 😂) gold 1915 Austrian 1 ducat, because I thought it was cool to have something dated back to the Austrian-Hungarian empire. 🤷♂️

Congratulations! With a mintage like that it will need grading 😀
I have lost count of the refunds made having been charged the wrong import duty, when you point out they do not know the regulations supported by the appropriate links the refunds are very quick 🙂

A coin I never thought I would see, let alone own.! After a rather unpleasant bidding war in the early hours, an erroneous VAT bill from our friends at Border Force (claim for a refund already submitted), it has finally arrived from the good old US of A 🇺🇸!
A 1961 Peruvian Una Libra (Sovereign of South America) - why so rare?. MINTAGE - 402
Its tricky to take good pictures today (really sunny), so these pics were taken putting the coin under water to stop the glare...a first attempt..comments welcomed on another thread maybe!

Well this cheered me up a bit among all the doom and gloom in the world at the moment, and it does not take much these days.
This is my British Malaya 5 Cents coin 1945 dated, the photos I took do not do it justice, its a really nice shiny coin but to show the features off I had to angle it a bit away from the light.
These coins were made of 75% silver until 1941 when they started to be made of 50% silver, the coins were made at the Royal Mint in London and the Bombay Mint in India, ones made in India are far rarer and are distinguished by a capital i underneath the word CENTS on the obv.
Production for my coin in 1945 only was a whopping 8.8 million (India mint 4.6 million) , such a lot of coins for what was in essence a colony, I think coin production stopped in 1945, and started up again in 1948 when the coins no longer contained any silver.
Its tiny and cute, smaller and thinner than a modern 5p

Bought a few things from the LCS today. Starting with a Spanish 1813 Fernando VII 8 Reales minted in Lima, a French 1827 Charles X 5 Franc, and a GB 1696 William III Crown.
A little bit of hammered. A Felipe IV 1 Tari from the Kingdon of Naples, and a GB Edward IV Light Groat
And a bit of gold. A 1920 Mexican 2 Peso, and a 1952, 1956, and 1959 Iranian gold Pahlavi's which are the same size and weight as a sovereign.
