Received a bunch of coins on Friday.
Firstly two small world gold coins, a 1985 1/20 gold Panda 🐼 (am putting together a date run) and a tiny 1913 1/5th Libra from Peru.  This coin has a tiny 15mm diameter so although it has a 60,000 coin mintage it’s thought that about 75% of them have been lost behind sofa cushions throughout Peru 🇵🇪. 
 
Next a group of coins to add to my world silver collection.
- China 🇨🇳 Kwangtung 1890 20 Fen, lovely EF condition.
- a very cool German East Africa 1910J 1/4 Rupee (Vg/fine). Great helmet, if I had one of these I would never take it off. 
- 1812 one Rouble from Russia 🇷🇺 (fine). Minted the year of the invasion by Napoleon.
- 1953 circulation commemorative coin (100th year anniversary of the birth of Cecil Rhodes) from Southern Rhodesia.
- lovely 1931 5 Latis (EF) from Latvia 🇱🇻.

I have never been this happy to get a PF69UC in my life!.     
 


 

My first Swiss gold coin. A 1915 10 Francs circulation coin with a mintage of 400,000 coins. A small coin with a 19mm diameter and weighing 3.2258 grams, 90% gold.

Yesterday I also received two coins from the RM. This is the new silver proof Piedfort with the privy mark. Mintage 1969.

Received the 1oz silver proof White Lion of Mortimer yesterday. Beautiful coin. Was sent this by fellow YouTuber Gold Digger Dave as part of our monthly mystery coin swap. I sent him the Perth Mint 1oz silver proof rectangle Dragon coin. 

Not bad!

Four sovereigns that just cane back to me from PCGS after conservation and grading. Very happy with the results. 

This eBay buy arrived this week, a Sir Isaac Newton 50p Royal Mint Experience "strike your own" coin in its original RM packaging. I purchased one of these earlier this year graded by PCGS and was on the look out for one in its original RM packaging. Very happy, fantastic design! 

Are you able to strike your own 50p coin at the RM? 

Bought these four fractional gold a while ago but only recently received them here in Australia. 
There are three Chinese gold Pandas (2000 and 2001 1/20oz & 1987 1/10oz) and one Lunar Two (2010 Year of the Tiger) coins. 

A few recent pick ups. 

In the same week seven Queen Elizabeth II proof sovereigns came back from conservation & grading by PCGS and one (the 2013) from the Coin Cabinet auction. 

Bought this Platinum Wedding anniversary strike on the day sovereign when it was released by the Royal Mint in 2017. Sent it off for grading to PCGS and it came back PR68DCAM. So it was incorrectly described as a proof coin (it’s brilliant uncirculated so should be “MS” on the holder) and 68 for a new coin is a bit disappointing.
Earlier this year I broke it out of its slab and resubmitted it for conservation & grading in the hope of achieving a better grade. It just came back. The result? Go take a look the video (“Hitting a PCGS  Slab with a Hammer”) on the Coin Struck YouTube channel to find out. There is a link to the channel at the bottom of this post. 

Won this lovely 2oz silver high relief coin from “TheCoinGeek” YouTube channel subscriber competition. It came all the way from Tucson Arizona to its new home with me in Australia. 

A pair of 2015 20p definitive coins in platinum. Not a matching pair though, as one has the IRB portrait of the Queen, and the other has the JC portrait on the obverse.
Mintage for both is only 10!

Many thanks to @jackflash123 for these lovely coins that arrived today. My partner is over the moon with her first coin, the silver maple, and I'm very happy to add the Goddess Europa to my stack!

Some of the recent purchases. As usual, Perth's Swan is outstanding, will buy some more in silver and will need one in gold as well.
