A little half ounce Pamp pendant from the Bay arrived this morning.

Ordered these from Bairds on Wednesday, delivered 3 days later.. good prices too.

I found this little beautiful Canadian 10c Coin in a lot of mixed silver! It’s currently winging its way back to Canada after selling for 3 figures, more than the whole lot of silver cost.

These are 1943 dated Canadian 10 Cents and 25 Cents, both made from .800 silver, the Canadians used higher grade silver in their coins long after the UK had gone to 50% and were still using silver when the UK had stopped using silver altogether.
The 10 Cents coin featured a famous sailing boat called the Blue Nose, this ship was built as a duel fishing and racing vessel and won many races, it was built in Canada in the 1920's and was wrecked in 1946.
The 25 Cents (or quarter dollar) coin featured a Caribou on the reverse, more commonly known as a Reindeer, Canada's coins feature lots of their national wildlife and still do.
Production of the two coins for their specific years are as follows.
10 Cents 1943 dated,    21,143,229 minted
25 Cents 1943 dated,   13,559,575 minted

The 10 Cents is roughly the same size as a UK 5p and tiny.
 

1911 and 2010

Many thanks to @jbh for feeding my 1977 collection urges and shipping this lovely item all the way from the states to the UK. Now getting sent back to the states for grading

 

Thanks @oooootini.  The nicest Sovereign of this Century?  It gets my vote. 







 
 

On topic, I mentioned in another thread a couple of weeks ago that gold would go to 1600-1700.
You aint the only smartie pants, kiddo.

Eventually got this in the post from Germany today. King Peter II of Yugoslavia 50 dinara silver coin. He never spent much time on the throne and was the last King of Yugoslavia.
