1/4oz gold QB Griffin

 
And since there was no 1/4oz gold Completer, I made my own! 🙂

 
 

Small hand or big coin? 😆

The beautiful historic 1815 R (London Mint) 20 French francs 
Added a bit of history too in the pics 
Beautiful example which are notoriously difficult to get due to the rushed strikes in a panic 
 

Nice! Literally just got home to see the 2 that I sent. Got a 65 EPQ and was lucky enough to get a 66 EPQ. Going to keep them as a reminder of the silent killer that is inflation can do to my hard earned fiat currency which isn’t worth anything in the 1st place 😩

Since deciding last year to fill some tubes of coins and getting 2 empty Philharmonic tubes I have been plugging away. Picked up a few great deals here on the forum, the rest here and there. Got the last 2 at the weekend when Atkinsons very sportingly put some pre owned Phil's up despite spot falling!
A full tube of coins feels nice and weighty in the hand. Makes me want more..... Another tube of these and then on to something different.

I have previously picked up this beautiful Queens Beast Completer coin from @Dazzlinh. I sadly missed out on picking up the designs of this beautiful Queens Beast coin series. I am going back and pick them up as I hope to have the set at some point in the future

not pm.
but got these very cool bar capsules in from sAc yestersay. magnetic ultra caps that are just awsome for those treasured bars. now to fill 5he other 8 😀

Sent this off to NGC to have the obverse facing the front. Think it looks much better this way around. Most definitely in my collection for the long term 😊

Even smaller package through the door this week still playing catch up due to two weeks off due to the China virus, 
but a awesome package none the less  
a half oz pirate round from the hand pourers Hayleybug in the usa, but sourced from the USA go to guy @Jamesd thanks again 

I also had this back from being reholdered, managed to get it cheap years ago on eBay, one night I was drinking and thought I over paid at £46 for this bad boy! I was obviously wrong so I thought I would treat it to a bit of a spruce up 😁 before and after shots…
 

Received these 193-235AD silver Denarii from @richatthecroft yesterday and I love to have these pieces of history in-hand. I might conserve and grade one (or three, or all five ).
Yes, I know the coins aren't exactly centered or on the right orientation. It just is what it is, apologies to anyone with OCD!
 

Have been stacking exclusively bullion coins so thought I should get something a bit more interesting. 
6 taels of silver - 1 x four tael bar and 2 x one tael round.
1 tael = 37.8g or 1.2 oz

This week I received this little beauty from a great forum member, I’ve always wanted one of theses and they’re so tough to find here in the uk.

Been away at a wedding but in the meantime this arrived 2 days ago.

Some awsome pieces for my collection in from usa today 
Emptyo awesomeness 
And a wild pigs round sent for a very early birthday present lol 

Hello dear collector friends,
I am thrilled about these triangular coins in normal and antique design.
I mean it is something different and it enlivens every collection.
collection, I am happy in any case.
I hope I don't bore you with my pictures.
Greetings from Maxe.
















 

This one almost sneaked past me! I actually thought the series had finished. Thanks to a fellow Silver Forum member for bringing this 2021 release to my attention. 
They are stunning in hand and this is the 5th in the series and keeps me up to date 😁

Ok I know these have been getting a bad rep.... but as mine are away for grading and I saw these ( at a very reasonable price) I thought why not... if some of the others don't do well I have these... and must say in very good condition and no issues on any of them

Another kg and a bit of fine silver in some mixed melty coins from @DuncanWylieWilson

Few recent pick ups 😍

Thanks to @arshimo2012 and @Heirlooms for the 2005 coins and @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions for the others (a selection of some of the items I got at the last auction). All investment pieces and my new decision to not concentrate on 70s is going well. Loads more coins and money to spend as a result of taking in 68 and 69s. I would recommend it to anyone who is tied down to the 70 only approach.

Cheers @DuncanWylieWilson for the crown and @Sparrowlegs4 for the Brits 👍🏽

Beautiful 1872 Wilhelm I 20 marks Kingdom of prussia

Had this arrive today, not sure how many there are in the series to collect but this one looks in good condition.
