Platinum shiny!

I don't usually post photos, I bought this peso 20 from Apmex it took over a week to come it's only a 1959 re-strike at first it looks quite good condition but near the snakes head there are scratch marks, can our resident Mexican expert @Numistacker have a look at it please and advise if i should complain or let it go.  It was bought as advertised as there standard Aztec 20 coin but they sell it as nearly uncirculated (what ever that means).  
 

A nice proof 2 coin Kook set to add to the slowly growing collection.

the matt background is not designed by jc, as it was
first available on 2015 britannias which still featured
the earlier irb obverse. there's little objection to the
5th portrait, people just don't like the matt fields.

My 2oz beast arrived today.
I really like these, the pics don't do them justice.
 
 
 
 

Queen's Beats Lion.  Love it.

the new matt background is designed to hide imperfections/errors,
not remove them. it doesn't mean the qc is any better than it used
to be.
 
(it'll take more time to separate those that are mutton dressed up as
lamb)

Just bought a 1/4 oz gold queens beast and two 2 oz silver beasts , just could not resist.

Interesting day today, just shaken hands on a deal with my cash for gold guy, who is going to hold back any sterling silver cutlery / flatware for me for about 5% or less over spot, and picked up on Ebay tonight 33.5 ozt of sterling for under spot at £10.35 an oz , (had an unexpected end of year work bonus, which lasted less than 48 hours in my pocket  )
 
 

Gold, gold, gold.....
 
Today I received three alternative design sovereigns 2002, 2005, 2012  from @sovereignsteve.  
 
 
I also ordered a couple  of alternative design 1/4oz Britannia  2001, 2007, 2010 from another source.

"The Odd Couple" perhaps .... But these are this week's purchases. 
1921 Morgan Dollar and a bullion 2005 Sovereign. Always been after that 2005, can't justify buying the proof, so the bullion version will go into the collection; nice to compare to the 2002. 

Recieved my ebay purchases today, nice and quick delivery as It was only thursday the offer was on

After an 11 day wait  2  1/10 oz somalia elephants and 10 more Congo silverbacks , because of the delay i added 1  1/10 lunar monkey , liking the elephants .

dec 2015 fed rate hike, what actually happened afterwards?

Mexican fractional gold arrived today from coin invest - 2, 2.5 and 10 to go with the 50 Peso. Still looking for the 5 and 20 Peso. 50 peso is my favourite but the 2 peso comes a close second, really nice little coin.
