Nice Libertad Set received today. A tiny 500 mintage of each weight of Gold Proof in 2015- all in sets.  Not an easy set to acquire.  With thanks to @Fivepoundfred for the opportunity to buy this beautiful set.

1939 Proof Victoria Shield - PR62 (en medaille) - It is believed that the coins stuck in medal alignment match the Una and lion and therefore are from the coronation set.
This coin is undergraded in my opinion, I've got another PR62 that is nowhere near as nice as this, and seen other that are verging on "manky" and still got a PR62. It was obviously graded some time ago due to the old label


 

I have repatriated this 15th century treasure back to the UK from a superb US seller. The photos don’t do it any justice, its absolutely stunning and I’m very pleased!
For those interested, it is an Edward IV Gold Ryal or also called Rose Noble only minted between 1464 and 1470 and the year in that period identifiable by the mint mark in the legend, which on mine is a little difficult to ID but its a Long Cross Fitchée, if in any doubt (see the close up) there were no other crosses used in the period they were minted. This mark puts it as minted between 1469-1470, making it even rarer, only just before Henry VI was restored to the throne. On edwards second reign the mint started producing Angles which are entirely different design. The coin was minted in London, identifiable as no letter in the waves beneath the rose / kings vessel.
7.61grams of gold and approximately 35mm in diameter.
Side note: The coin was also imitated on the continent in the mint of Gorinchem for around 100yrs after this date (and also thought during Edwards exile in Belgium), these are often referred to as a “Flemish Ryal”.  Identifiable if put alongside each an original, one difference being the continental copy is often slightly larger in diameter.
NB, if anyone is wondering what the lump of dirty metal is in some of the photos, its an original brass coin weight for the Ryal that I was able to pick up from someone that had found it in the Thames mud. It was only a few pounds but I though makes a nice collection.
hope you like as much as me 😁
 
 

Thanks to @BackyardBullion & @arshimo2012 for these 2 new arrivals
 

Received this the weekend from @InvestInCoins888  

Beautiful coin
My first gold Two Pounds 
I’m very happy with this😀

2020 American Samoa National Park 5 oz silver bullion ATB arrived today.

Received these Silver & Gold Libertads and two very nice display boxes from @PolarPanda today- with thanks for the speedy delivery and bomb proof packaging. 
The 97 & 98 key date Silver 1oz Libertads leaves me tantalisingly close to the 1982 through 2019 Bu date run- just the 2007 to source.  
The 2017 Bu Gold Libertads, leave me very close to sourcing almost one of everything the Banco de México produced in 2017- just 3 more items to find.  The 2017 1/4 Oz Bu is one of a tiny 500 mintage. 







I’ll have to be on the lookout for more boxes 🙄

Just got a 2007 half eagle, the "Jamestown" commemorative. I'm impressed with the detail in this one.
 

I was thinking the same.
