Huge Thanks to @PapaLazarou for this awesome Christmas gift! A 2011 $1 RAM Kangaroo at Sunset 1/2 oz Silver Proof coin!



And also a great appreciation and tremendous Thank you to @Mox for the 2020 TSF Christmas draw prize! Three excellent Silver 1 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1/4 oz Egyptian coins!








But let’s not forget an additional surprise @Mox used to help obfuscate the silver in delivery!...😁😁
And a special Thanks to @RoslandGold and @ChrisSilver for this great addition from the TSF Platinum Plus prize draw! A 2019 1oz Silver Czech Lion Coin!

My little additions back end of this week.
Another modern sovereign added to the date runs I’m doing care of the excellent service from @BritanniaCoinCompany
Couldn't resist a couple of Britannia privy’s @AgD put up either. This could be dangerous territory now, I feel the urge to collect other privy versions coming on, just when I though my date runs were completed 🙄😂

Six old Engelhard gold diggers to add to the stack (my favourite silver rounds .....the original 1982 Prospectors). 

My first bit of Gold arrived today, 2021 Sovereign proof.
Question is do i go for grading?

Part two of the latest ngc gradings. In addition to the 2002 year set in pf70, there’s three others 2007 & 2009 £5 gold crowns & 1998 double sovereign. The 1998 double is only the eighth to grade top pop so that’s off in my doubles collection. Enjoy the pics
 
Have a good weekend all

Postman woke me up. Couldn’t resist this bargain from Hatton Garden Medals to add to the stack. Great strike for a bullion grade

A stunningly toned 1887-S Morgan dollar. 🌈 🪙 🇺🇸 
 

I've recently decided to work on completing a U.S. Type Set.  It's something I've thought of doing for a couple years now.  S I bought an Intercept Shield U.S. Type Set album, and went to one of my favorite LCS' to see about filling some holes.  Besides some modern clad stuff I needed, the interesting bits were an 1826 Capped Bust half dollar that I had to have as soon as I saw it.  It has wonderful details for being a circulated sample.  I also got an 1867 2 cent piece, 1943 Walking Liberty and 1955 Franklin half dollars, and an 1922 Peace Dollar. 
I know this is going to take me quite a while to complete.  The plan is to buy MS grade for as many of the coins as possible, up to the point where they cost an arm and a leg to buy, and try going for VF/EF/AU for those.

This is what I got from the cash from  @Yorkshiremancand poured by our own @RiverbankSilver and such an amazing piece and the colours just pop out 

Thanks to @DuncanWylieWilson for this lovely 25 Pesos 👍

A lot of beautiful coins to show but I have been lazy with my camera these last weeks. However, here is the last one I have done with the James Bond Special Issue. Very difficult coin to highlight with its lack of nuances.  It often appears flat in the pictures and I have tried to do my best  
 

I finally managed to complete my date run of 1oz kooks. All of them have been bought from the forum so thanks to all of you who helped me out
 

5oz Black Proof Tiffany Art Isfahan 2020, this stunning series is now over and the 3 oz (proof)and this 5oz finish it with beauty (I'll post pictures of the 3 variations later  when I'll have
all them in hands (proof, black proof and antiqued) 
 

Still on my foreign binge, 2 franc, 5 franc, bolivar and a 1 guilder 🙂

Loads of goodies today! 2018 Oriental Border Britannia, 2019 version on the way. Just need the 2017 30th anniversary privy and I’ll be up to date!

Received these back today. First time getting grading done. Really happy with the results. This grading business is a bit addictive. I was like a kid in candy store when I got them. Lol

Heirloom status! Achieved the P(er)F(ect)70 grade. One I will pass onto my kids and stay in the family for sure

Purchased this Quintuple Bullion Sovereign with a ridiculously low premium from Gerrard’s to take Advantage of the current dip and add some weight to my stack .
