Gildeon

Received 2019 Piedfort Proof Set from the Royal Mint today.  Beautiful set.  Unfortunately, I'll be sending it back as the D-Day and Wedgewood 2 pound coins have serious flaws.  The D-Day has a a major scratch that must be almost a centimeter long, and the Wedgewood has a ring of blemishes along the circumference of the silver near the transition to gold plating.  Especially with the scratch on the D-Day, it boggles the mind how such a flaw could get past any quality assurance checking and actually be sold.  I'm certainly not a nitpicker that expects every coin to be an unblemished perfect 70, but these two are just bad, and shame on the Royal Mint for trying to sell such lousy quality.  I'm going to give some thought in the next couple days about whether to return for exchange or return and cancel, as now I'm worried what might get sent in exchange.  I wish they would let you just return the defectives, as I really do like the Holmes, and the 5 pound is a nice hefty chunk of silver beauty.

The 2oz silver Queens Beasts Falcon of the plantagenets gilded black ruthenium. Up to date now.

Delivery from @SilverStan as always very well packaged (thank you) includes last round from Intaglio Mint allowed me to finished my collection, 2x 5oz Aztec Rounds and 10x Golden Ring Series bullion plated in 24k Gold and Ruthenium mintage maximum 500 per coin https://thesilverforum.com/topic/21102-pre-order-golden-ring-series-new/?tab=comments#comment-252839
1st Panda, Kookaburra Koala coins purchased and have in my stack.

 

Picked up this 1977 Gold Proof Cyprus £50 coin at a reasonable price. Its in great condition, some very very light surface scratches perhaps where someone wiped it with a cloth but overall very good. Prob a PF67-68 after conservation I would hope.

Well today I received my first order direct from Eldorado Coins.......excellent experience from start to finish. 
I bought another 10 of these stunning coins. Which when added to the 15 I got via the last SF Group order, now completes that mint tube 😁
The question is now..........which mint coin do I go for next?? Any suggestions?
On a side note they also sent me the 10 coins in a genuine mint tude too which I thought was pretty cool, plus I now have a spare one or another to fill depending on how you look at it!

I got my order in from the European mint 1 kilo of 90% silver mostly Quarters and Dimes I got 1 Barber quarter but unfortunately slicked out and two Standing liberty quarters with visible date.

Some 10oz coins i recieved today. A sweet 2019 Kookaburra i wasn’t sure if i would like the valiant coins, but in hand there absolute stunning! 

Today I received  this beautiful Iranian 2000 Rials coin courtesy of @Marc which means a lot more than just a gold coin to me.
absolutly in love.
 

Got my massive 2110gm (67.8 oz) delivery of @StackerQueen hand poured Marvel and DC Characters. I love how raw they are. All hallmarked too  

Got the latest 10 oz Queens Beast recently and added it to my box.  I'm halfway through!
 

 

BU and Proof versions of the latest (5th) in the 2 oz Destiny  Knight Series.  Have always been able to get them from APMEX in the past as they were released, but had to order directly from the issuing company this time.  Also picked up a few odd silver ounces that I didn't have examples of.  2018 and 2019 Elephants, 2018 Bird of Paradise and 2019 Swan.

Got this bar in a Dublin fair, my first Engelhard, for bullion price. Not sure if it has any collecting value. 🙄
