Had these lovely sets of proof libertads turn up today 
😍 possibly start of an addiction they are stunning 

Not yet got anything from this, but this big tub is waiting for me to go through at my dealers  

Thanks @SilverStan for the fourth in the series Molon Labe from Intaglio-Mint

Series looks amazing so far.....

Some very nice wood working from our own @Alun here on the forum.
Privateer box to hold my collection. Superb quality, Thank you Alun.
 

I got these robins medals that are replicas of the original medals giving to the Apollo 11 astronauts, their families and the crew. The one in the box is 1oz of silver with some space  flown material graded MS70 by NGC and CAG and the one next to the silver one is a copper medal graded Gem UNC. I like the copper one a lot more because of the shine when it hits the light.
Ok, now let’s talk about the real medals. Neil Armstrong’s gold medal was sold at an auction for two million dollars graded by NGC and CAG as MS 67. That medal should be graded MS 70 because it was owned by Armstrong and of course it was taken with him to space. It’s not like it was going to sit in his house.
@Numistacker This is for you.

I found a great deal on the complete set of the US State quarters, the silver proof versions, of course. (50 states plus six territories, not pictured) And the coin capsules and tubes to store them in. Sorry for the horribad pics. I could not get good lighting. 

Not a large amount of silver
but I like them

1973 IOM half sov. Stunning. Thanks @Lea79
Slowly slowly with my half collection. 

Not been shirking my silver duties... 
Added this kilo fortuna with a low “C” today. Monster beauty  💖 

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

Proof Britannia

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.
