Beautiful toning- Gold coins are all well and good but when you see a coin like this it makes me rethink what I should be Really collecting.  Thanks for sharing. 

Nice coin, sent all the way from Greece, thank you @SVcollector.
A modern take on the Caballito.  Released in 1985 this 250 Pesos commemorates the 450th Anniversary of the Casa de Monéda and the at the time, the upcoming México 1986 Football World Cup.  It's a 1/4oz fine weight, gross weight 8.64grams .900 Gold and proof finish. I wasn’t expecting the plain edge. Nice coin.

4 "random" Peace Dollars from Apmex and also a 40% silver Ike. The condition, BU, seems legit.
I sent an email to Apex. 3 x 1923 and 1922 are the most common. So it's not like they close their eyes and pick from a bin. Unless the bin is full of these.

Amazing coin!   Photos dont do it justice, video clip is much nicer 👌 PR66 .... 😬
Thanks for sharing 👍

Few bits today
 
 

My first Platinum and my first silver bars!

I find grading circulated coins very hard and this is the first Krone I have had in hand so very hard to know what to compare it to! I do wonder why Norwegian silvers are so expensive compared to other coins with similar mintages. Thanks for the kind words about my photos- I love circulated world silvers.
It's interesting what you say about the Aussie coins- I had never noticed it before but looking through my collection you definitely have a point. At a guess I would say that the raised part of the coins is the kanagroo and emu either side of the shield (similar to the date part on the standing liberty quarters) so that part wears first, but looking at the numista photo for the animal reverse, there appears to be a distinct lack of detail compared with the obverse- particularly George V.

On a serious note, there might be some, we do tend to find them useful for our own storage though.

Today I received this lovely coin back from its grading journey... a super 1825, any guesses on the grade?

Some of the world silvers I received today. Particularly like the Australia shilling with great obverse toning - the camera doesn’t do it justice. 
 
Also some rare Norway coins. I am thinking of sending the 1912 krone for grading but am not great at guessing grades- what do you think it would get? (And would it be worth it?)
Such a shame about the holed 1887 krone turning a $150 coin into $10 ouch 😂
 

Arrived today. 1st in a series of 3 James Bond 2oz silver proof coins from The Royal Mint. Limited to 2,007.


If you look closely the Bond movie titles have been micro engraved into the '0'

Putting these on here on behalf of my daughter who ordered them from @SilverTrader  excellent service and items she says as always, that's that series completed now.
 




 

A 2007 South Africa Gold Krugerrand Proof Set 
It is one of the dates we have not previously owned, so that ticks another one off the list.

I received these great little Riverbank Silver pieces courtesy of
@grongla 
Many thanks 👍😁

Finally got these bars and buttons out of the vacuum pack for some better photos.
As been said before I also love how they are all unique.

Might just have to get some more of these, many thanks to @StackerQueen

My youngest Son is trading out some of his PM’s to fund his upcoming University Studies so I get first dibs 😉 
Sadly I sacrificed my Chilean Pesos to put towards this fine lump- cost me a lot more than the one I originally bought.  That lad drives a hard bargain, not sure where he gets it from 🤔
