Not even silver or gold but cupro-nickel!
1947English and 1951English shillings in BU which completes my George VI shillings which I thought I had done long ago ?

a rather nice 1875 shield back half.



 

Something a little different courtesy of silverstatues.com
 
I was really hoping these would be VAT exempt on UK import since they're both collectable and art but that wasn't the case.

Received my Plain Edge Gothic Crown. A (near) perfect coin only ruined by a tiny scratch.

 
Compared to my Undecimo crown.

1869 shield full sov .. good grade ,
can't go wrong with them  

1872 melbourne mint shieldback sourced locally and graded at vf-ef. Seems fair.
 

Good grades, AEF are very nice coins that usually command a decent premium, I have lots of sixpences at that grade!
I was tempted by the MS64 1930 in the recent St James auction as there are very few at that level but couldn't do it.

Three rare(ish) half crowns (2x 1930, 1x 1925) from a local auction., and some odds'n'ends silver coins from GS.BE

Just got these yesterday.  
Bought directly from a coin shop in Japan in Japanese.
こちらにも誰か日本語が話せる方居ますか？
Small gold and silver bars directly from Japan, the money during the samurai era of Japan.
Very happy with the quality and packaging.  

From several different eras, Ansei, Meiji, etc.
All from around 1850.  More than 100 years old.  

Another NGC submission was delivered today!!

Created in Birmingham by @GoldBenj this 4oz silver bar was a birthday present for my father. It has the full Birmingham Assay office hallmarks. A beautiful paper weight or just fun to play with 
 

A couple of 1/10 gold lunar tigers

That's a great collection - all different dates? The leading NGC registry sets must have taken some time to put together - just need to persuade the kids that they will need to complete the various sets I have?
I noticed one in MS67 went at Heritage in January which I didn't bid on as I spent too much on another lot in that sale!

3rd box from NGC (I disagree with the artificial toning tag as I've seen may toned fake and real, but I guess it's open to interpretation from NGC)

Bought a 1937 pf66 cam half sov.......get into coins and you will never have money for booze and drugs......

Today I received my 2006 silver proof Queens' 80th birthday coin that I won on ebay for just over £16.
On top of that in the post was a package with an ASE & a 2017 silver Britannia that I never ordered.
It was addressed to me but had the wrong house number on it. When I opened it there was a receipt with order status 'complete'. Now I then compared it to my recent order receipt from the same firm that had 'processed' in the order status. Duplicate order from Yorkshire bullion!
Me being me, I've tried ringing them but no response. I'll give them another ring in the morning. I could easily say nothing but they haven't done me a bad turn & have been pretty good with my orders.

A couple of Lunar 1 1/10ths.  Capsules were damaged but after pointing it out to the seller they refunded the cost of replacing the caps.

2012 & 2013 China Lunar 1/10 Gold & 1 oz Silver Commemorative Coin Sets.
Looks like they changed from the wooden style to the plastic style box after the dragon.

26 1992 1/20 ounce libertads 

Way too complicated and volatile with so much new unchartered waters around like Italys' referendum ,elections in France and Germany coming up soon......"Mad Dog " General appointed US Defence Sec, Japans ecconomy just about flushed down the bog, more QE, etc etc.....Personally can see it dropping to £880..£850 wouldnt surprise me at all..........NOTHING would at the moment including people who think they know what will happen..........simple truth is nobody knows.
Longer term outlook 2...5 years I'm still very bullish for gold but going to be some big waves to ride.............glad I'm not a flipper must be having some hellish sleepless nights.......so much easier to just buy it, put it away and forget about it.............

Rushed pictures but my first HGM pickup arrived and I'm quite happy.
Got to love the shield's
