5 oz Aztec calendar, world of dragons and some Intaglio-mint rounds from @SilverStan as always very well packaged thank you.

Mix bag of stuff today. Interesting one is my first Platinum 1/10 Brit and a 9ct ingot. Also the Yale looks good in gold.

A few more varieties in the post today, nothing rare but varieties I needed

Today I received.

Not pm.s but im well happy today got this. 

So after a few random ASE's from JM Bullion....I  caught the bug and decided to go on a little quest to collect all the dates, so now I have a nice set of BU Silver Eagles from 1986 to present

I think the fact it can help handled without too much worry is a massive bonus 
Plus the fact its been used and has history 

Just picked this up for next to nothing.from a local antiques shop It's a later 5 shilling. But pretty cool

Well I can't say that this 1/2 sov from eBay wasn't well packaged.

Lovely mix of fractionals, but super happy with the 1/4 Onza and the SA 1R both of which have been on my list for ages, both low mintage coins. 
Got the roo and the panda at spot so happy with that result too.

A prussian double crown in a rather impressive grade. 1888 is also the three emperor year with Wilhelm I marking the first Emperor to reign this remarkable year. 

I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.
I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...
I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 
I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it
Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️  
 

This wasn’t received today or even this year, but looking through some bullion I spotted this, think it’s a decent MS grade! Only a few small bag marks. Pity it’s not a very rare year
 


 

-My first Netherland Ducat 
thanks @Quicksand005
-2008 1/4oz proof brit 

Kind of went on a gold bender, thankfully before the price of gold went up...
Huge “Thank you!” to @Pampfan for this beautiful 1987 Gold Sovereign Proof! This completes my minimal date run of 1980-1990 Gold Sovereign Proofs.

Also a surprise gift was included...A Franklin Mint, Flags of the United Nations, United Kingdom Sterling Silver Bar.

Now for more gold...Received The Royal Mint 2019 Strike on the Day Queen Victoria Celebration Sovereign (with the distinctive mark below the dragon’s head, as seen on others). There is one more arriving from another order placed with @TheCoinConnection!
More Sovs!...An 1885-M Young Head Victoria Gold Sovereign. 

A couple of Gold Half Sovs!...A lovely 1980 Gold Half Sovereign.

And an extremely nice 1913 Gold Half Sovereign.

Also received some US minted gold...A 1908 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle.

And lastly a stunning beautiful $2.50 Liberty Gold Quarter Eagle! Just love the color toning on this one!

 

Today I received my Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier Pro.
Now let's see if I actually have any gold or silver.

Think she likes her new home. Thanks for the box @MikeSol.
Just need to find a CofA now and I'll have finished my build-your-own proof tenth oz britannia! 

Bonus pic...busted out of their cages and released into the wild.....

20 x 1/10 Krugerrands plus £75 as part of an exchange for some graded stuff.

Today I received this stunning $10 Indian head, it’s such a beautiful coin that I can’t stop looking at it, thank you so much @Cornishfarmer 

A first..my wife walked in with a coin this evening...I nearly fell over!
A small gift from her employer..every little helps!

 

Only a little mail call today, not so common bit of vintage

Picked up two amazing fractionals today. 
1/10 penny black( yep is a black colour gold coin) mintage 2015 (needs a bit of a clean) 
1/10 2009 Isle of Man Angel Proof Piedfort. Interestingly it’s NOT a 1/10 but 1/5 being twice the weight and thickness  of a 1/10.
The mint decided to retain the 1/10 denomination, which is really odd lol. Mintage circa 499
 

A few more additions to my US coins this month. A $5 liberty head gold coin from @StackSellRepeat 40 more quarters from @DrDime and Franklin half’s and dimes plus a bonus quarter and bag from @Peacemaker very happy with this lot, we’ll packaged and quick delivery from all. This was my birthday treat for the month.
