Not all received today, but are being ‘shown today’ for the first time.
A few months ago, I fell for these ‘Sovereigns of South America’ (same size, weight etc as the British Sovereign), and started to hoover up as many as I could!
The more observant might have noticed a couple of them appearing on Numi videos recently (1917 and 1966). Lots more heading to NGC soon I hope😃!
Some of these ‘South American Sovereigns’ can have ridiculously low mintages (see numista) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces46644.html
but sell for reasonable prices 🤑...just got to love them 😀.
More information on this coin, and others from South America can be found here on the forum.

3 more Top graded Half Sov's for the collection
 

Got this lot for 1% over spot delivered, thanks to the HGM Black Friday sale. Got a little over excited adding stuff to the basket, no more purchases for me for a long time! 😂

 
Some close up pics; 

Received one of the 3 "rare" silver circulation Escudos coins today (1937 10$00 Escudos).
Not cheap, but certainly paid a lot less than those listed on eBay and the local Portuguese dealers for a similar grade. 
Only 7 left to complete, including 5 currently on their way in the post! Problem is, the other 2 are c. £350-£500 each..... 

Congratulations - you just need a slabbed set now, and then the top Registry Set 😁
Due to a complete lack of funds I only managed to get one of the lots I wanted from the Gadoury auction - it hasn't arrived yet ☹️

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.

My 2019 1/2 oz Mexico Libertad Gold Reverse Proof coin. 
I bought both 1oz and the 1/2oz for 2018 because of its first year of issue.
I can only afford 1/2oz for now. 
Very beautiful coin. 

Another top grade ticked off the list

50 x 10 Schilling (64% silver), bringing my total to 150.
 

Overstrike overload


 
double 77, double L


 
 

2005 5 Sovereign 
getting into collecting the 5 sovereign can be expensive hobby! 

I know it's just a weak strike but this 1912 20 Bolivares looks like an "open O"

 
here for comparison a normal O

Brace yourselves; some coins from @Numistacker but most reholder and a large shipment from @Lr103 containing some acquisitions of the last few months (all before the rise in spot 😊)
 

Always wanted a spanish gold coin...


 
And a French coin full of symbology 

Not all "Received Today" but seen for the first time together today... now on the way back to the Bank. 
Apologies for the quality of the pictures (taken by hand with my Mobile) that don't do the coins justice. Any marks you think you might see are on the plastic cases as the coins are 100%.
I've also got all the Boxes and Certificates for all of these coins. 
If anyone has either a 1979 Proof or 1996 Proof Full Sovereign that they no longer need that they feel would Grade as a perfect 70 (or if you have one already graded 70) please get in touch as that would help me complete my 1979 to 2019 date run all in Proof 70 Grade. 
All of my set are PCGS except for 2 which I will get Crossed Over to PCGS. 

My first circulation 20 Swiss Franc (bought at 30% below spot!)

Another Napoleon franc arrived today - a slightly more difficult date for the Premier Consul type than the one I had😀
