11 2018 2 oz silver Bulls and an 1892 Austrian 8 Florins/20 Francs gold piece.

A few beasts and keeping up-to-date with some other stuff..[emoji106]

An absolutely lovely delivery from @BackyardBullion - one of the first issue of the 250g forum bars
A stunning piece. It has a glorious heft to it and is just so tactile. The ripples on it are amazing and really I'm amazed that he has managed this pouring by eye. Alas I don't have the video/photo kit needed to do this justice in the way light plays on (and off) this in the most glorious way, so I'll have to use the 'official' photo, but you really have to see this beautiful piece in hand to properly appreciate it. It has such a lovely 'well' of ripples at the top that make holding and playing with it, with a perfect groove for your thumb, as good as any stress reliever - it is just such a pleasure to hold (and behold).
Top work BYB, and thank you!

 

1 Escudos cob just arrived from France.
Gold 1 Escudos cob type (hammered coin)
King Phillip II.
Dated 1556 to 1598
Weight:  3.37 g
diameter:  18 mm
Now have the full set (1 Escudo, doubloon & Double Doubloon), just need to get another stand and dome for it.

3 more full sovereigns added to the date run today, 1903 London, 1904 Melbourne and a 1905 Perth. It's my first Perth mint sov so I'm very happy with that, only a Sydney and SA to complete the mint set and I only need a 1902 and 1909 to complete the Edward set. 

I think this is a good buy for just under £1000

This 1825 George 1V Gold Sovereign arrived today. Really nice coin.

Received this today.  At first I was a bit underwhelmed, but the more i hold it, the more it’s growing on me ?.

.

1937 George VI Gold Sovereign, PF65, to compliment a 1952 South Africa 1£ George VI.

1/2 oz Mouse Colorized ... just to compliment my regular set. I won't be getting others. But it does look really nice.

2 X glass domes arrived to display my doubloons.
Really happy with them and a nice way to display some coins.

Three months getting graded......nice results, both respectively top of ngc and pcgs populations....

I recieved this the other day and finally got a bit of spare time to put it on, it's my first ever 1kg bar, I have always wanted one and it's my biggest bit of silver to date. I can't describe how awesome these are, this will definitely not be my last!
