Ready for valentines day to keep wifey happy, only £40 so not much more than a dozen roses and lasts forever:

I am currently in Mexico City. There are at least three coin shops in the jewellery quarter near the Zocalo. I went a bit crazy, picked up some fractional Mexican coins and some old libertads.  Prices seem comparable to US / eBay.   P.S. the "$" is Pesos, not USD !

 

Received these beauties today from Muenzdachs 😃
The RP gold Libertads are really stunning, got also the Zi Sin Scrofa ghost and normal version (I can't understand hwo these high premium coins can be sold without capsules, and the nice Chad Rhino
 




 

Thanks @PansPurse and @FFkook for the Silver. I bought the 1998 USA set to send to my middle lad, as a little gift and hopefully a boost for him as he always works hard to pay for his keep at University- so I don’t have to! (Keep him that is!).  I told all three of them not to grow up- it being an almighty trap- they didn’t listen! 
The 1968 Set- just because the Gillick is my favourite portrait. 

Thanks @Thomas78 for this beautiful $5 Liberty head

Nice little stash arrive today From the Europeanmint.
63 oz silver
20g gold

What a coin.... 🤗😍
1853 Proof, nothing much more to say but wow! 
I suspect many don't even know this rarity even exists, very very few in existence now. 
Pictures (especially from phone) don't do it any justice, so I will do a 4k video at some point so others can enjoy it

 

Something a little different 
silver proof kew gardens 50p 
NGC PF70
 

A little bit of overseas gold for today 
 

This was Cheap as Chips, rather have this set than the new set Coinsters !!!!!!!!!

Got this sweet 1/2 set of Silver sharks from Perth mint. 

Thanks to @MickD, today I have received this nice 5g UBS kinebar. It looks amazing from a particular angle to see the hologram.
 

I got the Silver proof 50p's today. Have to say I am impressed with the presentation too.
Cheers
