Received a nice 1912 20B with struck through material imprint. Struck through grease (e.g. blocked up letters in the legend) seem quite common but does anybody have another struck through piece from the Monnaie de Paris?


In hand under the loupe you can even make out the threading of the piece of string but on the pictures only the fibres are visible. 

A very nice stamp to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Peruvian Libra coin, Peru Mint background.

Couple nice ones today. Thanks to @richatthecroft for the helvita. Been after one for a while. And thanks to @DavePanda for the kooks.

This time, some copper! These two Dragons landed in my mailbox (actually already yesterday) thanks to @BackyardBullion! Thank you very much. 😉

Some recent pamp pickups over the past month. Some small gold - and boom - the Huge Rosa bar.
Does anyone know who the Soccer player is on the bar? @sovereignstevemay have been the model ? 😉

Thanks @BackyardBullion for the Silver forum rounds. Received 2019 3 oz round a while ago but they were waiting for their bigger brother that arrived today. Last photos contains previous 2018 3 oz rounds as well (group photo). 5 oz TSF hammer round is now my favourite piece of hand poured silver.

Small poker win this weekend again. Luck must have carried through as I got these proof quarter sovs in original capsules at 2% over spot. Picked up a 1gm in assay too for the collection 

Not all received today, but are being ‘shown today’ for the first time.
A few months ago, I fell for these ‘Sovereigns of South America’ (same size, weight etc as the British Sovereign), and started to hoover up as many as I could!
The more observant might have noticed a couple of them appearing on Numi videos recently (1917 and 1966). Lots more heading to NGC soon I hope😃!
Some of these ‘South American Sovereigns’ can have ridiculously low mintages (see numista) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces46644.html
but sell for reasonable prices 🤑...just got to love them 😀.
More information on this coin, and others from South America can be found here on the forum.

Almost to the end of the year collection has arrived...
Decided on the 2019 1/2 oz Gold Libertad BU for this year.


And now for some silver treasures! 
From the immense talent of hand-poured Silver, @BackyardBullion, has provided me with this year’s 2019 Silver Round collection...incredible, simply incredible...TSF 5 oz Silver Hammered Round (#19/25, as selected by BYB) and two TSF 3 oz Silver Rounds (#26 and #27).









And the much discussed 2019 Una and The Lion 2 oz Silver Proof. Quite a beauty that stands the test of time in design and craftsmanship.




And lastly, a little fun with some Silver PEZ! A 2019 30 gram PAMP Suisse Snowman PEZ Dispenser & Silver Wafers (w/Box & COA). This is staying completely packaged to avoid any mistaking as real candy...and prevent anyone taking a potentially painful chomp into a Silver PEZ!😂

 
There may be one more special set arriving before the end of the year! Please stay tuned...and wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!

Just received this 1900 Perth Mint half sovereign, an Australian eBay action buy. 1900 was the first year the Perth Mint issued half sovereigns. A rare coin but it definitely has a lot of wear from use as money.

Hello,
This anniversary Kookaburra could be a winner. Mintage 15000, 1/10 oz  gold. I'd be curious to know if this is a one shot or the first in a new serie

Today I received my 2018 forum round and @BackyardBullion hexagon.
Many thanks to @AndrewSL76

Just received these today.
St Helena Trade Dollars, Germania Britannia & Germania and Ukraine Archangel Micheal.

Received this 1989 panda today from @ali187 for the collection 👍👍
