Bullionaire

Launching on 3rd October:


I love the 50p!
 
 

And sorry it's taken so long, but this is beautiful.  From @SilverAngel and the charity auction.

Almost 2500 years of coin minting evolution. The Cook Island's 1 OZ silver Pegasos together with , a Corinthian silver Drachm Pegasos from around 350BC with a portrait of Aphrodite. For sure, that would be my favorite goddess in ancient Greece. If i had the time to watch trees and clouds, i would think about what has been paid with this coin 2000 years ago. 
I'm a fanboy of many CIT Smartminting coins. Crazy accurate strikings and unbelievable reliefs. And this one is a great example of their abilities.

Just a simple wee addition to the stack today and continuing the series.
Superb service from Martin at Silvertrader as always.
Coin is immaculate, all the wee blemishes are on the capsule 😊

Bought my very first coin on Thursday and have just received it. The first of many, and to say I’m happy is an understatement. 😁

Received yesterday, a very nice and special Five Pound Piece.



 
 

Hi Peeps
Not coin or bullion but thought you may be interested in this
I like to tinker on my cnc when I'm not taking piccies for @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer
I made this over the weekend.
It's 14mm MDF (painted dark navy) set on an oak plinth with an acrylic plate for the cypher.
How it came about - we're striving to get the rotations correct / consistent on the images of coins we take and one way to do this was to draw a silhouette around the monarchs portrait that we can then line up and rotate the image to fit.
So...I started doodling with them late last week and came up with the 1st portrait embedded within the 4th portrait.  It looked quite nice for a mock-up coin that @LawrenceChard liked.  So over the weekend I thought I'd cut it out and see how it turned out.  On these white background shots it's not too apparent that the 1st portrait is actually a cut-out.  
Anyway - I decided to donate this to Amazing Graze - a local soup kitchen who do some great work - they're thrilled and are currently auctioning it off.
Just thought some of you may be interested to see it

On a more modern theme I’d like to show a few 1989 nickel-brass  commemorative £2 coins which attracted me a few years ago, (with apologies  for the 2 silver Piedforts) The pairs shown are the English Bill of Rights and the Scottish Claim of Right. The top 4 are Unc. 5&6 are Piedforts. 7&8 are Proofs. 9&10 are BU. Usually the Claim of Right is more expensive than the Bill of Rights. I believe @Stuntman likes these as well!😄 Underrated and overlooked IMO

Bale of Yeaufort arrived with another lion so it didn't get lonely in the post. Hopefully @DrDave buys one too then we can see a better photo 🤣

Todays arrivals, thanks to @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer and @brnlx639

Another 2022 double Sov from @LawrenceChard here. Been wanting one for a while and they were out of stock most places, so I snapped one up while I could. 
Lovely size and coin (the mark near the unicorn's gob is just fluff, not a dent)

Few coppers and some other bits and pieces today

Thanks to @Mox @Midasfrog @Prodigy for today's bundle of blinding brightness 🌞 

Bagged a couple of these from @arphethean. Just a good looking coin to go on the stack.
