Gildeon

Just arrived...so added to the rest of the crew.

My BYB collection just keeps getting better... 115oz and counting  Thank you, @BackyardBullion

Second and last part of the 1967 collection: the slabs!
 

As last year, I am posting my full 1967 collection as it was in the end of 2020. First part has anything except the slabs. These will follow in the next couple of days, as I don't have everything in one place. So here we have coin and medal sets, large medals, coin envelopes and all the bits and pieces.

The series one Lunar's are stunning - what do think if you had a set of "PROOF's" ? 😉
Here you go @Darr3nG - "DROOL AWAY! 😉👌😍
Some came with "pin badges" 
BTW - they are mine 😉
 

Recently graded.

Posted this set when I 1st got it but just received back from grading and very pleased with the result! Not many 70 grades in theses and there were no bullion gold Britannia’s in 2005, only proofs so not many at all. Thank you for the flawless set @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer! Very tempted to keep the whole set but I need to fund some other purchases so I will be listing the 1/10 and 1/2 at some point
 

The almighty 5oz Zeus... with a almighty premium. 😆
Number 14 out of 50 coins. 
little scratch on the capsule on the queens side. Thinking about sending it to NGC.

First bit of Pt, managed to get this proof baby koala delivered for spot 😊 
Wouldn't normally go for this due to size but I like it's little presentation now I've got it.
 

2008 RAM 1oz Silver Gilded "Reg Mombassa" Kangaroo   Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this was the penultimate gilded Skippy ever offered by the Royal Australian Mint and, at just 5,463,  its mintage was the lowest.   The gold silhouetting of this coin - like most gilded silver issues - is nothing to take ones breath away...but it is certainly still an attractive member of the collection in my eyes.   For further details - if interested -  please see the Mombassa proof listed in this thread here.   I can confirm that the ball depicted is for Aussie Rules, not Rugby.   Huge thanks to @jultorskfor the invaluable assistance in arranging delivery of this fellow.      

Some more Mexican gold added to my collection. Thanks to @SilverMikeand @Jamesd for offering me these. I wasn't planning on buying anything for a while but I've got the breaking point of kit kat when it comes to Mexican coins.
This is now my 2nd 1921 veinte pesos. 2 is always better than 1 right? 
And also a 1/4 oz 85/86 world cup coin which is an absolute beauty 

Picked up the silver version of the 225th anniversary Lady Liberty in SP(ecial)70 to go with her big sister 😊.
 
You don’t see the SP designation used too often and is for coins that are better than a MS strike, but without the polished proof fields. This has an enhanced finish. Curious to know why NGC or PCGS do not use the SP designation for Brilliant Uncirculated strikes. They are most definitely better that standard bullion strikes but not quite as good as proof strikes which would make sense in my layman brain 🧠 

The postman has been very nice today 
Peru 20 soles - 1968 (640 mintage) super rare 
1916 Una Libra - 1916
10oz Vintage Englehard 
8 Reales Libertad - 1895
All in beautiful condition and all at brilliant prices 

Latest addition to the stack
1/4 oz Lunar III Mouse and OX

 
and a 1/10 oz Lunar III OX to go along with the mouse that I've bought last year at only 5 euro over spot.

The wormhole is sooo deeep!!!

Got my coin celebrating 1 year of Ghanaian independence in 1958 graded and achieved the top grade! Chuffed ☺️

2006 RAM Gilded Silver Kangerlily   The Royal Australian Mint in 2006 produced a proof coin that, in my opinion, rates towards the top of the world's most beautiful ever produced.   I can add little to the words of @Roy - "The coin is literal gem. An ethnicity, a history, a close cultural relationship with nature all on the reverse of a silver proof coin.The image could have been copied from an aboriginal cave wall drawing."    "Jirrah-Watty" – the Big Kangaroo - is a design by  Aboriginal artist Ray Thomas   This was the first of seven gilded members of the official Skippy collection and presumably was a cynical attempt to cash in on the anticipated success of the proof - the other two members of the "Aboriginal Designs" trio were only ever available in FrUnc and Pr.   The mintage of 10,000 was the same as that of the proof - both were swiftly sold out.   With thanks to @CadmiumGreen.



 

n.490/500 - The amount of detail in this 2oz beaut is extremely mesmerising, but unfortunately my camera cant capture it that well! This will have to do.
I personally dont get much into collector pieces, not even sure this is numismatic. But I love it 😁

Finished my 2oz Kookaburra collection 😁  All purchased on the forum so thanks to everyone who helped me. With a special thank you to @Danny-boy for the display case. 

My 2017 Collection to date. 

Some good looking .99999 fine 1/10th ozs
