I need to go to some coin fairs I think.
Latest 2 oz proof kook for the embyonic collection, from top man Arshi.

I went to a coin fair today. I saw this 1993 panda and immediately thought it was a fake (It was way too cheap if genuine). Then I went back to look a second and third time and eventually thought it was worth a gamble as I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It feels right - the quality of the minting and the fur seem good. The weight and size are correct. The reeding is correct. The stairs to the temple are correct. There is some toning around the edge indicating that is at least not very new. It's no big deal if it's not right - as I said it was very cheap - but would like an opinion from a panda enthusiast

My 2015 Britannia Ram privy arrived on the doorstep with no ransom note from customs accompanying it:-)

1 oz Britannia proofs

If something's worth saying, it's worth repeating!

Today my dad gave me his collection of shillings and florins which he managed to collect when he was a bus driver. He retired two years ago and I remember when he used to swap his own change for one of these because of the silver content when these were still in circulation back in the eighties.

sovereign are coins without face value?

That 50 peso coin makes the US St Gaudens looks a bit lame, I'm surprised they allow it.
37.5g that's a nice weight of gold.

Yes, got goat as well))

My Perth Mint Lunar II 3-coin Ox Proof Set finally arrived. With a mintage of only 340. This was a hard one to track down. It brings my collection up to date.
 

2 oz silver medal panda monkey , second  in series ,mintage 499.

After 15 months of looking actively for this set, or the kilo set which I missed recently from Germany, the last 2oz proof coin to complete my date run is now in my collection
