This 2019 Matte sovereign was one I minted at the Royal Mint VIP tour last September. PCGS thought I did a reasonable job and graded it MS70. 

6 pieces of the Perth Mint 2020 1oz Silver Tuvalu Black Flag - The Royal Fortune ... purchased at launch (fortunately!) and finally arrived today ...

5 normal halves today. Makes a change from shields 😀😀

A classic set of 9 karat gold cuff links and a 1970's fruit-machine charm. The dials spin when you pull the handle, although sadly little gold coins don't shoot out when you win. Worked out as an 11% premium included postage which isn't bad at the moment. 
 

This is my latest buy a 1944 dated Egyptian 2 Piastres coin featuring King Farouk and made from .500 silver.
This coin replaced the earlier round coin that was made of a higher silver content of .833, the new coin was still minted at the Royal London Mint in England, not sure why they chose a hexagonal shape this time, but it means I have to get some more capsules to fit it in.
This coin was made for one year only in 1944, all latest official sources (Krause/NGC etc) claim that only 32,000 coins were made, making it the rarest of all my coins so far, independent sources claim it was 32 million, I am believing the official accounts until they say otherwise, partly because King Farouk was really starting to losing favour with his populace at this time.

Its a shame its hard to show lustre on the coins without using artificial light or videoing it.

I have shown it compared to the previous 1937 dated type, 2 Piastres I bought a few weeks ago.
 


 


 

...And here is the first in the series that started it all...

Another page of Kennedy’s completed. 12 received today from an eBay sale. Even with postage and tax the total worked out at just under £9 a coin. The premium is high but this is a long haul hold stack and if these are ever sold I am hopeful to get more than £9 a coin anyway!

Lovely delivery today. This was ment to be just the middle madalorian but whilst speaking to mel it kinda of snowballed. Stunning pieces by @StackerQueen. Big thanks 

Just in... Elton John 1oz. Very nice coin! Limited to 7,500. 

I love the colour, makes it pop! 
 

Seventeen medals from Spain of different sizes, mostly bronze and of course all from 1967! 🧐
 

More Queen's Beasts added to collection.
Fractional gold & a couple of 10oz silver

Adding another 2017 50th Anniversary Krugerrand...this one in BU...

Got my second order today.
100 pieces of 1 oz 2020, Nohas arks. 😁
 

This beautiful coin arrived safely from @kneehow2018 today.. Thanks a lot mate .

@terakris great coin. I’ve always been interested but wary of ancients, after seeing yours I might have to take the plunge 👍
Thanks to @BleyerBullion for latest arrival.
 
 

Thank you again @terakris for donating the prize to the raffle, and thanks @ChrisSilver and all the mods for running the site that enables them to happen.
Shiny! 😁 *Also, cool capsule!

Received today from @kneehow2018. It's a shame my camera focus isn't the best.
 

My first ancient coin, a Greek Drachm. Purchased purely cos it has a Bee on it... and Bee's are cool 🤦‍♂️
Will be sent off for grading and NCS to clean up some of the surface contaminants a bit, but not bad for a coin thats over 2k years old.

I think you win the award for the longest sentence on the forum.

Now if someone could put the contents of that book together as a 'real' collection that would be impressive!

Excellent referencing, @SilverTanner!
