New purchase  “VINTAGE POURED”  😋

This week's arrivals, probably last major buys of the year unless some great deals come along.
Couple of libertads, Canadian mounted police and white lions, tube of 2019 'roos, along with a second Krugerrand (Chard's best value 1Oz, my favourite kind of lucky dip!) and a 1/10 Nugget.
Pretty good stack building haul overall this year for a 2019 newbie, need to decide on my goals going forward now I've established a nice stack. 

Todays unboxing (assured my wife its the last this year, and for some reason she believed me. I dont even believe me 🤣)

Received the latest 5 oz silver bullion ATB, the 2019 San Antonio Missions.

One of my recent additions to my 1937 collection.
1937 Proof Penny graded PF67 BN By NGC with a top population of one.
This coin was advertised on the famous auction site. Unfortunately the seller would not post outside the USA.  So I could see the coin but not purchase it.
This is where the forum and the community helped me out. 
Thanks to the help and efforts of long time forum member @Pampfan I was able to acquire the coin.
Thanks @Pampfan you made it possible 😎
 

Today I received these 2 coins from El Dorado Coins
 
Cheers

Thanks to @Tomcbol my two 'Big Five' coins have arrived this morning. 
 
Portugal 20 Escudo's (0.800 Silver - 1,000,000 mintage) from 1953. I've almost got the full set of circulating, commemorative, silver Portuguese Escudos now. Think there are two more left in the collection. Ended up paying a little less than the advertised price (including delivery from Spain). 

And finally, nothing too special here. A circulating 1951 5$00 Escudos coin (Silver - 0.650) which i saw going cheap on eBay from a UK seller. No doubt a standard silver Escudo circulation collection will happen at some point!
 

Nice addition today from my local coin aficionado 🙂👍

Today's bits from a good friend, always nice to add sets where possible. This is the first Ducat that I've managed to get hold of 
 

Just a few pick ups from when I was away at work.
Some world silver coins.

Finally got myself the mighty 1986 ASE:
 
 

I took redundancy from RAF in 1994, commuted half my pension for a lump sum, so got a wee bit until I hit 55 when it doubled and was back indexed linked. Not a massive amount but sticking it into AVCs via payroll means I can retire at sixty, if I want, and it'll make up the shortfall in state pension until 67.  So hopefully a few wee trips to Germany/Holland in the future.................

I was at Bruggen 2003-2006. Good times. 

frikandellen spezial, it was the Dutch border after all, had one at a Dutch place in Prague a few years ago, was closed when I went back a year or so later ☹️

If only I'd known in the late eighties, never mind, do miss the schnellies though...................

It’s Libertad Tuesday...again 😉
All the way from Germany in two days and only €7 shipping.  
Just think @MickD how much Silver we could have accrued- instead of visiting the NAAFI Bar and the Schnellimbiss on the way home- these came from a dealer in a town just up the road from Brüggen and even closer to my old camp at Menden. 

This holder came in the post today and a massive thanks to @ZatStackz for his help in getting it so looks great now the gold has a home.
And a nice addition to the Aztec family courtesy of @SilverStan the 2oz 

Picked up some slabs from NGC this week, nice trip down to the smoke and NGC handy for Euston/KIng's Cross😊
Took a few pics before they went to storage.


 

Thanks to @Madstacks for introducing me to these a few weeks ago.  Nice little items of workmanship that don't break the bank.  Picked this one up for about £20 plus postage.

Got this pair on the way from the U.S, bit pricey due to global shipping costs but Ive looked everywhere, im sure this will keep me busy for a lifetime, I know I will never 100% fill them but I will have fun trying

Very good condition by the look of the nice shin. That will go up in value
