2014 Horse Privy
 

Perth Mint Dragon bars, .......thought they'd be bigger.
 

Received an 1859 Young Victoria Shield Gold Sovereign in what looks to be VF condition from a seller on eBay. Also looks like there might be misaligned die evidence on the 3 o’clock to 6 o’clock edge of the obverse.

2012 Dragon Privy
 

The Griffin upside down would really annoy me! 

Before you ask I'm not hoarding as many JM bars as possible honest!

Received back from NGC via Heritage

Bought as bullion so pleased to see a proof turn up, no case or COA. Capsule is the RM screw type and has a few marks but the coin looks good upon first inspection
 
 

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

Based on the 1597 Lion Dollar ( Leeuwendaalder), the Dutch 2018 proof 1 ounce 999.9 silver restrike featuring the province of Zeeland. I think its a worthy follower to the acclaimed 2017 Lion Dollar. At 5,000 mintage its not super rare - but should hold its place. The obverse has the knight with the shield depicting a swimming lion.  
One of my favorite designs of the year so far, so I picked up 3x

More Bronze...need to restrain myself

My first silver rounds...until now all of my silver has been in the form of coins or bars.
 

A PF70 Lion Dollar 
 

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!
