No patek for me though this loupe is a nice way to look at your coins. 😊

A ‘flock’ (?) of owls today 🦉 - nice coins.

2nd delivery of the day - almost unheard of in these times.
With grateful thanks to @Sparrowlegs4 and indirectly to @ST1986
This SP70 is my first graded coin. It's not unattractive imo.
 

I got this very nice leather and brass full and half sovereign coin holder that holds 40 sovereigns (20 full and 40 half so 40 full sovereigns in all) Ive never seen one like this before so a great pickup 

All from the forum, past two months tbh
Thank you to Domo, eppteink, Coppernut, Sparrowlegs4. 
I sold a bit of of stuff recently and have pretty much replaced the weight but at less of a premium and a bit of extra £ in my pocket. 

😁 Thought I'd have to import one then one just turned up 

A mob of the 2020 RAM Frosted Red Roos bounded into my porch this morning. They are much more attractive than the online photos had led me to believe. The 28th "Frostie" and this series is still going strong.

Recieved a very pricey bit of silver! This medal was supplied with Patek Philippe watches on thier 150th anniversery in 1989 - I have not been able to find out if all watches had one or just some models.... Its 35 grams of sterling.. But the silver value is irrelevant in its value as an item in this case... Its two of my obsessions in one package so i had to have it! Plus i know i will never get a Patek watch so this will have to do 

Not had it yet but chuffed to win this for only £12. Very few people know that America minted these 1944 colonial 2.5 Gulden, specifically Denver Mint. They melted down 60,000 out of a 200k mintage.

Just received the 2020 1oz Perth silver swan coin. I live in Perth but was late getting to the mint and they sold out within the first hour. Ended up buying one on eBay. Anyway looks very good with the other three. 

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 🤔

After the curry I had the other night won't be any issue with worms 🤫🤯🤯🤯

Haven’t found a 1/4 oz gold Britannia at a price I was willing to pay for a while, so this had to do instead.

My favourite silver coin on the lower left, with Pearse and Cu Chulainn on either side. I have my Father's coin, given to him on his confirmation day. Love it!  

Found some old coins today, which I think all contain some percent of silver.

Perhaps @richatthecroft was right, but the like the swastika it wasn't always a communist/nazi symbol.

Won this beauty in an auction, I really like the design of both sides of the coin, its a 1931 dated Czechoslovakian 10 Korun made of 70% silver, I think the reverse shows republica (the woman) tending to a Lime Tree (or Linden Tree as its sometimes known) which was the national emblem of Czechoslovakia and the wood from it was used for painting of Christian icons on.
Does anyone know what it is she is sat on especially the thing bottom left which looks like and hammer and something else ?
This coin was minted for 4 years only and is a little bit larger than a UK £2 coin.
Mintage figures below
1930   4,949,000
1931   6,689,000
1932   11,447,500
