Now I'm done for the year (kinda) 

It arrived!! 
My very first Panda....courstey of The Silver Forum Prize Draw and of course the anonymous premium member who donated it!
I've no idea why these haven't been added to my stack years ago! 
The one I've been given has a memorable date to me too and to my eye looks perfect! Now I want to add a 2013 and 2015! (anyone help drop me a pm)
Thanks again to @ChrisSilver and the generous premium member 😊👍🏻
You need to be in it to win it peeps 👍🏻

more silver inside the box, at the end

Hi All
At the risk of boring you, I am going to post on this thread articles and photos that reflect on the beauty and value of gold through the ages. 
 
I am particularly interested in treasure wreck gold finds because the artefacts recovered are so frequently discovered in mint state despite being in the sea for hundreds of years. 
 
To start, I thought it would work to post a link to the 1715 fleet society which documents the remarkable find of the below bird on the Florida “treasure coast”.   This find is all the more remarkable because eventually both wings were found.

Thanks to @OriginalS - three of the Big Five from the ZA Mint. Thanks for introducing me to a new silver series. Need to keep my eyes open for the last two in the series now..
 

I was going to keep this one private, but I've had a pretty rubbish day so thought i’d share what landed this morning and has given me some joy before it goes to the vault. A very special 2002 4 coin gold maundy set (2002 mintage), a beautifully soft Gillick proof head, look how good the 1p is 😍, its tiny at 0.8g (22ct) . Only showed the 4p and 1p so not to fill the thread 😄
All PF69UC. 

4p

1p 😍

 

 

Arrived today,
 

Received this bit of lovelyness today. Thanks @Melon they are beautiful.

Its been a while since I put any coins on here, that's because I have not found any good enough for sale that I wanted lately, then several came all at once, the first of them arrived today.
This is a British India 1 Rupee coin, dated 1942 and made of .500 silver.
This coin was the largest of the silver British Indian coins that was issued, its size and weight was just under that of a British 1/2 Crown of the same era.
The first 1 Rupee to feature George VI head appeared in 1938 and was only made for two years, 1938 & 1939, these coins were made from .917 silver and had a reeded edge, not many were minted, in 1940 the silver content went down to .500, and this type was made in huge numbers, then in 1942 a new feature was incorporated to prevent counterfeits, a security edge was added to the coins, this version was made until 1945 when silver was stopped being used in the coins.
1942 was the lowest mintage year by far and only one mint made them that year and there was no known variations which was unusual for these coins.
Production figures of the third type GRVI 1 Rupee are as follows
1942,  7,352,000      Bombay Mint
1943,  65,995,000   Bombay Mint
1944,  146,206,000 Bombay Mint
1944,  91,400,000   Lahore Mint
1945,  142,666,000  Bombay Mint
1945,  118,126,000    Lahore Mint
 


 
I wonder why modern bullion coins don't do something like this to make them harder to copy
 

Happy thursday indeed. Thanks to @InvestInCoins888 for the stunning 20g geiger. Cant stop smiling. and @ChrisSilver I was missing my libs 😀 and lastly to @ilovesilverireallydo for the gold pamps and another mexican peso to add to the pile

Just a tube of 2015 Indian Heads or Buffalos..... or Indian Buffalos.... or Buffalo Heads.... yeah ok you get it. Via Reddit.

Vive La France (Very Special Trio) 😍😍😍😍

@arphethean that box is fantastic. That's the oldest Panda I've seen yet but I'll admit I'm quite new to this. It's beautiful. 
 
I got a few things today. I know they're not nearly as impressive as most things on this thread but I think they're neat so I'll share. The Queen is a gift but the shipwrecks are something I was pretty entranced with. No regrets. They're just as beautiful in person. 
 

What's in the box?

A  box!

My new favourite item in my growing Panda collection.

From my birth year, indeed!

No less than 5 ounces of  999 silver!

And in original packaging


Huge thanks to @DavePanda for this beauty. 

Big shout out too @ilovesilverireallydo the crew hit it big 😜😉

Some (3) Philharmonics, 2 Maples and a Peregrine.
Some toning and a spot or two here and there but silver is silver emirite?
