SILVERFINGER

This arrived today that I won in an auction, a 1941 dated Netherlands East Indies 1/10 Gulden silver coin, until the Netherlands were overrun by the Nazi's in WW2 their coins were minted in house, during the war various mints in the USA made them for them, this coin was made by the Philadelphia mint and was made from .720 silver , 41 million were made that year by them and 58 million by the San Francisco mint that year alone, this is a tiny coin as seen next to the modern 5p. 
Its a shame that the photo's do not show the lustre on both these coins, what little shows in pictures is just a bright streak that goes across them.


 
 
 
This is a fairly easy to find coin but most I see seem to be well circulated condition, this is a 1938 Dated Swedish 25 Ore silver coin, made from .600 silver, this coin was made by three different mints all having their own designs on the coins, two were made of silver the other was nickel and the dates of some overlap so its worth checking before buying to make sure you get the one you want, this coin of this design had a very long life without change, being made on and off yearly from 1910 to 1941,  3.6 million being minted in 1938 by this mint.
 


 
 
 
And finally a size comparison with a modern tiny UK 5p
 

 

So today I received my recent order. The first ever purchase of silver to start my stacking adventure. Ordered this on Tuesday and got it today so pretty please with that. Just thought I would share them.

Its to make my other coins hopefully look better   , like me going drinking with my mate with no teeth, bad hair an dress sense when on the pull in the 1990's.

It's been through the wars, are you going to send in for restoration and grading?  

Couple of cool bars arrived today

That's supposed to be a stacker ?  😲 you could build a house with those, lovely.

1908 Edward VII Melbourne Mint sovereign bought from Sovereign Rarities. Edward VII was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910, an immensely popular and affable monarch and a leader of society.

Ex Randy Weir Numismatics, Unionville, Ontario, Canada, purchased c.1998. Calendar year mintage 3,078,500 of which 1,648 went for pyx trial.

No patek for me though this loupe is a nice way to look at your coins. 😊

A ‘flock’ (?) of owls today 🦉 - nice coins.

I got this very nice leather and brass full and half sovereign coin holder that holds 40 sovereigns (20 full and 40 half so 40 full sovereigns in all) Ive never seen one like this before so a great pickup 

Recieved a very pricey bit of silver! This medal was supplied with Patek Philippe watches on thier 150th anniversery in 1989 - I have not been able to find out if all watches had one or just some models.... Its 35 grams of sterling.. But the silver value is irrelevant in its value as an item in this case... Its two of my obsessions in one package so i had to have it! Plus i know i will never get a Patek watch so this will have to do 

Not had it yet but chuffed to win this for only £12. Very few people know that America minted these 1944 colonial 2.5 Gulden, specifically Denver Mint. They melted down 60,000 out of a 200k mintage.

Royal Mint 2 x 1 KG Bars.
Nothing too exciting but lovely weight to these things and about the only bars that had stock recently!

They are nice. 🤑

Finally came in today after patiently waiting for 1 month:
 
 

Actually @Roy is right, on left side are attributes of industry, wheel and hammer and on right side are attributes of agriculture, plow and bunch of ears.

Silver finger try a proper Naja made by a local. OMFG
