Been a bit excited for the last few weeks, but today I finally received this 30 g golden beauty! Hugest of thanks to @Marc
Long story short, i'm a bit of a fan of The Phoenix (sentimental place from my uni+ days), hence my collecting of most things Phoenix such as the dragon and phoenix coins here! https://thesilverforum.com/topic/11158-today-i-received/?do=findComment&comment=247324
During my many discussions with @Marc i told him about my affinity for Phoenix coins and he showed me one he had. From that moment i wanted it. Just loved the super design with the Phoenix and obviously the gold! I've got to learn more about the history behind it too. I think he was very reluctant to let it go, but i'm chuffed he did!
Here its is, A 30 g (¥100,000) gold proof (PF70) coin commemorating The Enthronement of Emperor Akihito (Heisei). This emperor recently abdicated, the first time an emperor has done so in over 200 years. They are not rare coins, about 100,000 of them in proof, but they are very scarce outside of Japan. Now that the emperor has abdicated they probably hold a bit more historical significance! There's quite a story about the Japanese 20 g gold coin from this era, but maybe @Marc can tell that story in another post!

Today I received
20 Austrian Corona with chaplet 1896
20 Austrian Corona without chaplet 1915 (restrike)
10 Austrian Corona with chaplet 1905
8 Austrian Florin 1892
20 Swiss Franc (Vreneli) 1947

Today’s arrivals!

A prussian double crown in a rather impressive grade. 1888 is also the three emperor year with Wilhelm I marking the first Emperor to reign this remarkable year. 

Mr Fedex has just delivered this from Greece. Thanks SvCollector
 

1883-M, not many of these around either and very few in this grade. 

1886-M, 1887-M - The two rarest of all Shieldback sovereigns. 
Finally have the pair 😍👌

Stopped by the LCS to buy a $3 Indian Princess I had him set aside for me, when he showed me a coin that he had just bought an hour before and that doesn't come thru his shop very often.  I was first person to see it and It was love at first sight.  Big, chunky and lots of history.  Oldest coin I own and my new favorite.

Also picked up an 1880 Young Head sov to get over the purchase amount needed here in California for exemption from sales tax.

20 x 1/10 Krugerrands plus £75 as part of an exchange for some graded stuff.

Arrived today. Gold 5 Roubles.

Too late!  You're doomed.
