Nice QB Griffin many thanks to @arshimo2012 super quick delivery and well packaged as always
 

The two are together.

Cool a second delivery. Thanks to silver trader. With his discount codes and multi buy got these 2 silver beuts for cheaper than ive seen anywhere. Also thanks to @Stackeradsfor the gold 
The Fanfir really is amazing in hand 

Unfortunately, as JP Morgan are one of the owners of the Federal Reserve they are never likely to see justice served upon them. A $billion fine but no one goes to jail...well ain’t that a surprise!

sent for regrading via @Numistacker with a nice uplift:

Venezuela 1886 (low 6) 20 Bolívares (Caracas Mint), previously XF45 – now AU53. The yellow greenish hue is caused by the silver and arsenic in the alloy which was sourced from local mines.
 

Venezuela 1910 20 Bolívares (Monnaie de Paris), previously AU58 – now MS62. The 1910 issue often presents with little lustre on the fields from repolished dies, which can be confused with wear; the photograph is actually misleading as the coin in hand is much more dull except for the devices.

A real rarity just back from grading, and a far better result than I could have hoped for.

So...why so rare?
Although this coin has a mintage of 2002, something happened in 1968 that resulted in most of these coins being melted for scrap 😱. The price of gold rocketed by over 22% in a short period of time, meaning the scrap value would have been too attractive to resist...So into the melting pot they went!

So far, this is the only 1967 to be graded by any grading company, and I am only aware of one other known example, and that is held in very tight hands.

Nice bit of weight at great prices today from multiple sources
Monkey are on there way to be made into some more lovely pieces for my collection in the coming months 
Love the differences of all the 10pz coin sizes 

A few more arrivals today. The Bond coin is in perfect condition, it is a guaranteed 70, no doubt about it. I have to congratulate the Royal Mint on this one, the quality and craftsmanship is impeccable.
