This trio of México Gold has brought some light to a murky Yorkshire day. 
A 1926 50 Pesos Centenario, a 1959 (Restrike)Veinte 20 Pesos & a 1907 Diez 10 Pesos.  The Cinco 5 Pesos is en route.  
This trio joining the 1946 Centenario and Dos Pesos, only a 2 1/2 Pesos to source. 














 
 

Got another 3 old school libs now that's the tube of 20 (different dates) done 👍 now onto the next goal which I think will be a tube of Mexican 1968 Olympic 25 pesos 

I call her Stella & Before you ask I ain't no wife beater 😉

If truth be told, I didn't receive these today - I picked up three of them at the Coin Fare in London on Saturday, and the other arrived in the post whilst I was up in The Big Smoke:
Many thanks to @5huggy for the Geiger 1oz bar - I've had one of these on my "must get list" for a few months now
Chards were selling the 2020 Kangeroos off for £20 at the show, and with no P&P to pay I wasn't going home without one
The 1970 is only Nickel-Brass - but I have always loved the design, and to see such a nice example was just too tempting
The 2002 Shieldback Half Sovereign is again one of those coins that has been on my radar for a little while; it's still in a sealed plastic packaging, the price was VERY good, and so it didn't take much to persuade me to press the button

Central Banks are buying more gold - so I countered with a small purchase 2x 2 ounces Queen's Beast + 1/10 ounce Britannia
 

Just got to make sure I don’t spend this coin on a grand day out....

This coin is so nice. I'll have a look around buying one 

Got some NGC results back, due to be collected this week. 


Few randoms for my "1977" collection



(I now have a set of 9 silver 1977 25p crown proofs at PF69). I know they are not "big value" coins and not hugely rare but, collect what you love and coins from 1977 are my "thing" so very happy
 

Big stack of evil coins
mostly 5RM - hoping to have a few key dates in there. 

A few of my favorite things....           
1953 set; 1970-71 sets; 1887 Farthing 
 

23 months in and over this time, I have chopped, changed and honed my Silver collecting. 
Going forward, I’m now only going to pick up Libertads and the odd modern Proof coin/set that I particularly like.  
I’m also going to read up on historic Silver sets- and maybe invest in some.  
Here’s my Silver stack so far excepting a couple of shoeboxes full of boxed Silver proofs- Brits, Crowns and 50p’s. 
Also,  my Gold bullion and odd Platinum coin.  One day when motivated, I’ll post my Gold Proof coins- I have more weight in Proof coins than bullion. 
Boxed Proof Libertads

Bullion Libertads

Single coin Proof, Reverse Proof & Proof- like Libertads

Beasts

Coin sets

Miscellaneous Silver

Gold bullion

So I stopped by the LCS again and picked up some pretty things that he doesn't often have come in to his shop. Maundy.
1859 4 pence.  My picture doesn't do it justice.  Beautiful, bright with proof-like fields.
 


1762 3 pence


And a very attractive 1901 penny.


He also had an absolutely gorgeous 1852 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar.  I wish I had thought to take a picture of it. Some MS Trade Dollars.  A lot of other stuff that all came in one collection he bought earlier in the day.

A little Indian, some Beasties and a winged Victoria all landed this morning. Thanks to @richatthecroft for the Beasts.

 

Delivered today in exquisite condition, a delightful,  46.24 gram bar of what can only be described as "stuff dreams are made of".
From a super forum member 1817Karl. A big "THANK YOU" my friend.
Oh, and the two coins were nice as well.
 

8 Down. 2 to go.
 

$3.80 face U.S, very odd toning on the Morgan

Today I received:
10oz Pamp silver bar from @vicamy
$2.5 Indian head from @Nick1368 (My first coin with any history)

West Meet’s East 

Dutch complications 🤷‍♂️

Got these attractive silver French Francs in auctions over the past week or so, they are identical in size and silver content (835) as the Swiss Francs from the same period (not the 5 franc coin which is 2g smaller).

A BIG shout out to a fellow forum member @1817Karl for itching my need for British AG   
 
Smooth transaction from start to finish, But definitely a very expensive purchase had to upgrade my SD box OHH & remortgage the house 😂
 
Thank You
