My fifth 5 oz Concorde coin with a mintage of 99!.
I have three more at least to go, that I know so far (can't find the two French ones at reasonable prices 😕)
 

New elusive Zhao Yun coin,  first coin in a serie. Mintage 500 for the Chinese market. According to Powercoin, only 10/15% for the rest of the world. I have been lucky on this one at the (already so high), introductory price
 

I love the way you British people are proud of your country and buy Sovereigns and Britannia's and love them like your dearest.
In that same way I am starting my Dutch collection, and after the Lion Dollar Restrikes and a lot of Dutch junk silver, I'm continuing with this beautiful FDC .900 gold 5 and 10 guilders from 1912 and 1897!
Wow, I have been saving up a lot the last months, and finally decided to buy these, they are awesome!!!
 

New Napoleon 40 Lira, sold as 1813. Looks, to me, like the variety with the second 1 over a 0😀
 

Lovely designs. Great detail. Really really shiny in hand which the photos do not do justice to. Amazing reflection of light about these coins. Really crisp minting. Will never make money on them but really classy. Gold plated around the edge. 3rd one of the set out in 2020.

Mixed date silver Morgan Dollars (AU+) for the years 1888, 1890, 1896-1898, 1900-1902, 1904 and 1921 ...

Finally got some time to get latest received photographed...
Huge “Thanks!!” To @silverroller for a magnificent 2008 Gold Sovereign Proof to add to the modern sovereign proof collection. Also “a case of beer” from me for my first ever crypto purchase with @silverroller...a great help in working through the nuances of crypto wallets!

Additionally, @silverroller included some surprise silver coins which I didn’t have in my collection...a 1944 Silver Mercury dime, an 1887 Shilling and an 1889 Florin! Top bloke @silverroller!!

Adding to the Backyard Bullion collection, a couple 2019 1oz  TSF bars and the No. 01, 2019 100g silver BYB Bar! Thank you @BackyardBullion and Mrs. @BackyardBullion for fantastic silver hand pours and top-notch packaging!

Also, @BleyerBullion sent me the latest 2019 2 oz Silver Bleyer Poured Owl Bar in partnership with @BackyardBullion and supporting a great cause with The Barn Owl Trust!

Lastly, added the latest Royal Mint 2019 A Celebration of Sherlock Holmes 50p Silver Proof Piedfort.

Sooo heavyyy @Bullionbilly

The 2oz silver Queens Beasts Falcon of the plantagenets gilded black ruthenium. Up to date now.

My first Umicore Bar! 
As well as another old faithful bar too! 
Both stunning bars courtesy of @Sovereign 👍🏻
Cast bars for the win 😁

I thought the little 1g fella was lonely so I got his bigger brother, care of @SilverTrader, first purchase from him and was really good service.

Received 2019 Piedfort Proof Set from the Royal Mint today.  Beautiful set.  Unfortunately, I'll be sending it back as the D-Day and Wedgewood 2 pound coins have serious flaws.  The D-Day has a a major scratch that must be almost a centimeter long, and the Wedgewood has a ring of blemishes along the circumference of the silver near the transition to gold plating.  Especially with the scratch on the D-Day, it boggles the mind how such a flaw could get past any quality assurance checking and actually be sold.  I'm certainly not a nitpicker that expects every coin to be an unblemished perfect 70, but these two are just bad, and shame on the Royal Mint for trying to sell such lousy quality.  I'm going to give some thought in the next couple days about whether to return for exchange or return and cancel, as now I'm worried what might get sent in exchange.  I wish they would let you just return the defectives, as I really do like the Holmes, and the 5 pound is a nice hefty chunk of silver beauty.

Arrivals this week, courtesy of eBay, @augur, @StackSellRepeat, @silversurf And @BackyardBullion. Thank you all. 

 

Delivery from @SilverStan as always very well packaged (thank you) includes last round from Intaglio Mint allowed me to finished my collection, 2x 5oz Aztec Rounds and 10x Golden Ring Series bullion plated in 24k Gold and Ruthenium mintage maximum 500 per coin https://thesilverforum.com/topic/21102-pre-order-golden-ring-series-new/?tab=comments#comment-252839
1st Panda, Kookaburra Koala coins purchased and have in my stack.

 

Picked up this 1977 Gold Proof Cyprus £50 coin at a reasonable price. Its in great condition, some very very light surface scratches perhaps where someone wiped it with a cloth but overall very good. Prob a PF67-68 after conservation I would hope.



 

6 sovs
 

1993 Half Sovereign. This has the lowest mintage of the 3rd portrait series at 2910.
 

Today I received my 100gm Metalor silver bar from @Sovereign to go with 5 ASE's that I got elsewhere. Also my 1oz swan from @arshimo2012, which arrived last week and a 2002 sovereign that I picked up from my local bullion dealer in the high street today for a good price.

A rather smokey 10oz PM vintage bar (type A) and a riot of early Kooks. 🇦🇺 😊 

These 2 arrived today to add to my collection

Stacking is stacking as far as I am concerned, and at 97% of spot these 9ct charms were not a bad buy... Some may disagree of course. 

I got my order in from the European mint 1 kilo of 90% silver mostly Quarters and Dimes I got 1 Barber quarter but unfortunately slicked out and two Standing liberty quarters with visible date.

Well today I received my first order direct from Eldorado Coins.......excellent experience from start to finish. 
I bought another 10 of these stunning coins. Which when added to the 15 I got via the last SF Group order, now completes that mint tube 😁
The question is now..........which mint coin do I go for next?? Any suggestions?
On a side note they also sent me the 10 coins in a genuine mint tude too which I thought was pretty cool, plus I now have a spare one or another to fill depending on how you look at it!

Just bought the 2004 and 2005 sovereigns on Australian eBay. They seem to be "haze" on their surface and so will send them to be conserved and graded. I bought a 1985 1/2 sovereign from the same seller about a year ok and it had the same condition issue but came out great after a bit of PCGS TLC. 

In the post today 1899 Nicholas II Russia Gold 5 Roubles.
