A couple of chunky monkey SilverStan bars from @shawy2510

Just bought a nice decorative kilo ??

All in good time my friend!

@richatthecroft initially beat me to it but it took only some golden arguments to dissuade him...

Please only like if you also would want @BackyardBullion to finally start casting 1kg bars. I can perfectly imagine the little leaf stamp in the centre of the swirl ? 

Thanks to @Numistacker for his contest. => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jL879JVbBY
I was lucky to get chosen, then skillful in that I guessed 2 out of 3 coin grades
The Mermaid i didn't like that much when it first came out and I saw it in videos and pictures of. But in real life it is really pretty. The Korean coin has a great design also.
I will keep them in the shrink wrap with Numi's name sticking out.
I am not collecting lately, that's why I haven't been around. I sold all my collection except my US coins. 
 
 

Gold rush!
Thanks @Keenstacker for the Krug.

And with thanks to @augur for the 2017 1/4 Bu Libertad only 500 in the Mintage. And also a nice Half Sovereign. 


 

1907 $10 Liberty Head Gold Eagle. Thanks @arshimo2012
 

For some strange reason high relief kangaroos  keep arriving at my house! ?
 

Nice little coin think was mispriced by HGM so under spot (if my workings correct) didn’t realise until I have just worked out

Home from work today to a few packages one from @augur with some .925 one from @649tom with the dragon and Phoenix one from @MikeSol with some .925 and 2 90% halves and a couple of eBay purchases 

Ebay purchase just arrived today, I think it's safe to say I've caught the sovereign bug!

Well last week, more collectors coins than stackers but nice to add to pot

Nice 10 Coronas! Should be ~95£  

??  A real rare treat today!  ??
1874 London Mint - Die 33
For those who don't know this is an incredible rarity, and I think the condition is just lovely considering it's rarity. You'll have to do your own research if interested more in the background as I don't want to copy and paste a chunk here
 

As discussed a little in PM, looks like tooling marks. Found something similar on another YH so maybe someone with die creation knowledge can chime in.

Received this beauty today, hallmarked JM&Co, Britannia, London, 1981, coa with matching serial stamped into the rim of the coin, original bill of sale from Johnson Matthey and original advert from the telegraph, £44 it was back then! Silver was around £5/oz around July 1981 and on the decline so that is a hefty premium, £44.67/troy oz!, nearly 9 x spot price. Today's ratio of spot price would be around £106, while inflation makes it equivalent to £180 today, fun fact I suppose ?

My first 1838, all my photos going forward in this format are untouched, unprocessed, no attempt made to hide coin surface blemishes as it's for archival/website purposes. I'm actually fed up with all these eBay listings making coins look MS when they are bullion!
 

So, turns out the Ansell I posted a few days ago has a very clear error! Means I have to find another now without an error ?
No doubt this is an extreme rarity
 

 

An 1897 bullion half sovereign from Atkinsons .

This week received this very nice 2002 sovereign purchased from a fellow SilverForum member. Have already taken it out of the capsule and put it into a flip ready to be sent off to be graded. 

2017 1 oz gold Buffalo and 2018 St.Helena Spade Guinea. Not sure where the spots on the guinea came from in the picture.  Naked coin shows none of them.

1859 Ansell. Wear/flattening of the hair but the fields and coin overall really clean, very happy as price was fair.
 



 

Some bullion bulls ?
 
 

How about this for a kick in the spuds.. today I received these three items two CO @arshimo2012 the forum legend! 
And I only get to keep the Bull.... which I have to say is a bloody nice coin but that 100oz omg ?
