Some more £5 Silver Proof’s.  The Royal Birth coins are Bergdahl designed and a nice design.  
The Sapphire Jubilee is a duplicate- but also a lovely design as is the Century of the House of Windsor.
And taking the rough with the smooth in this batch- a design monstrosity of the Royal Wedding.

Agreed- not quite as grim as the William & Kate- which is none the better for the Gold plate over Silver 🤮 
Collecting a run of Crowns is not for the feint hearted 😝 
Not sure how the designer could make one of the most beautiful women look like a Crack addict 😳

Just a couple of 2022 silver Britannias along with a 2000 half sovereign for my stack.

@richatthecroft well I'll give this pal, you've got balls admitting to owning the Harry & Megan crown 😂

Stunning 1.9g gold nugget from W. Australia. It has white and rose quartz. Love it!
10x pictures taken before placing in the 'envelope'.

A few more bullion sovs for the stack (bought before the gold price increases).
 
 

Big thanks to @arshimo2012 for today's arrival. 

A lovely 1905 Sov courtesy of @alexmcsheffrey under spot with SD included 🥳, would also like to mention @LawrenceChard without whom none of this would have been possible😀

Teeny tiny nugget

Only stacking bullion gets a bit boring so had these sent off to NGC. 

Today I received a few nice pieces of world gold, starting with this fantastic 1916 Peru Una Libra courtesy of @Leonmarsh.
This is the first of a handful of coins on their way across the ocean from Leon. I had to judge from photos to decide on this piece and I must say, his photos dont do this coin justice! In person it looks as if it could've been minted in 2016. Clean luster, only very light marking from being stacked in tubes or in bags over the decades. Wouldnt be surprised if it had spent considerable time sitting in a vault or collection undisturbed. Would easily grade on the MS spectrum, IMHO.
Mintage of approx. 500,000, same dimensions and gold content as a Sovereign.
Second piece is one of my favorite old school bullion coins, the Mexican 50 peso. Im not sure how common or popular these are in the UK or Europe. Even in North America they get almost no love. The modern Mexican Libertads are well known for their low mintages and high premiums, but these older pieces are all but forgotten.
37mm in diameter with a whopping 1.2057 ozt, these coins are absolute bricks! You know you're holding gold when you hold one.
They were minted mostly during the 1920s and early 30s, and then again towards the end of WWII. Afterwards, they minted numerous restrikes using the 1947 date mold.

Did someone call my name?

Today arrived the second spherical coin in the barbadian 1 OZ planets series, Mercury. Looks way better than the first one, Mars. First time after a couple of years, i opened  my 2 OZ Galileo 450 years anniversary box with a little real moonstone. I was searching for a 3 OZ spherical earth, same outer packaging. Somewhere i must have a coin with a little peace of a meteorite. 🤔Next time.
I love days like these😊
