Gildeon

Thanks to @Alun for a lovely piece of workmanship, my photos don't do it justice.

Thanks @DavePanda for this 2005 1/2 oz. Just awesome.

You know you have a problem when you move from 1gm bars to 1/25 fractional coins. 
You know you have a bigger problem when you move from them to 1/10s. 
Problems increase when you move from there to half sovs. 
It gets worse when you move to full sovs. 
Its getting out of hand when 1/4 ounces enter the picture. (Recent acquisitions displayed) 
And am looking for help now that the first half ounce is on the way. (4 ducat - can’t wait!)
I may be too far gone. 

I’ll happily say it again ... 

Received from Hatton-Garden-Metals.

Arrived today with a gift too- Cheers @Nick1368. I’m sure that Fox will enjoy his treats! 

Satisfying my appetite for Libertads further, and doing my spreadsheet no favours at all, I managed to pick these little beauties up.  
The 1992 & ‘94 sets are toning nicely in true ‘treasure coin’ fashion.
It’s going to be an effort getting off my backside to do any jobs my wife has left me to do this afternoon- even the potential wrath of an angry women might not prevent me squandering the remainder of the afternoon ogling them. 

They are beautiful

DING DONG,
 
VINTAGE FRENCH COMPTOIR LYON ALEMAND LOUYOT PARIS SOCIETE GENERALE S.A BANK, WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN 1864, 1 KILO .999 SMALL LOGO ONLY ONE SEEN TO DATE 🤯

My first graded coin, and the slab is huge! 
It’s a 10oz Lunar 1 2001 proof snake. The coin comes from a 5 coin 0,5 to a kilo set. With a mintage of 289 sets it’s quite a rare coin. 
It’s a nice addition to my BU set. Very happy with this one 

Got some NGC grading results back today, some of the good ones;


To continue my 1977 collection, this beauty;


and this coin was picked up as a bullion coin and after an ncs clean turned out to be a proof and get a PF69UC  


Few more Undated 20p's back with a selection of grades, upto an MS63.


And another cheap pickup for the 1977 collection, non-ncs graded coin and graded PF69UC so very happy with that.


 

I know it feels I have been ignoring Silver, but it ain’t true. Just not been posting much of it. Here is a recent stack of bars, such an interesting mix. Top line is a range of 100gm bars.
And a shot of the bars case full enough so dropped it off at the safety box

Best of British, Haven’t had the chance to post this new purchase   Verified as JM by AE 🥳

Today I made a mount for the silver boat I received from ilovesilverireallydo.
Still haven't cleaned it yet

The base is made from "Olive wood" 

This little birdie walked yesterday back into it's nest: first NZ platinum coin, mintage 350, 3 graded but only one as top of the pop.
Big thanks to @Lr103 for helping in the acquisition and @Numistacker for preserving it. 

JM varieties.
 

I have had the opportunity to grab this Tiffany Art coin from a LCS at a screaming low low low price that I could not miss it !
This is the 2011 "Manueline" . An architectural and decorative style which developed in Portugal in the late XVth and early XVIIth centuries. and which associates traditional Gothic structures with Romanesque, Moorish or Oriental inspired ornamental sculptures.
The coin is not as impressive as the 2019 Khmer (not the same advanced minting technologie) but still really beautiful.
This coin sells around 800£/1000£ on ebay. I got it for the tenth of these prices

20 euro Silver domed coin from the Austrian Mint! Was sold out in 1 day, luckily my brother lives close to that mint in Austria, picked one up, shipped it to me! 
Beautiful detailed coin, with glow in the dark stars on it. As a big Apollo mission fan, this is a great addition to my collection!!! Want more Apollo coins! One can be so happy with this!
 

Well this is the type of junk silver I love. Nearly uncirculated quality 50% florins. A kilo of them! 

Difficult to gather and photograph everything at once, as I have several boxed sets that take a lot of space. So starting here with my gilded collection. Unfortunately not all clear in a single shot but in a nutshell they are Pandas, Kookaburras, Koalas, Queen's beasts and five Lunar sets.
 

So I finally bit the bullet and purchased my biggest deal yet
I have to say I am over the moon thank you @StackSellRepeat
you sir are a legend
