I was going to do quiz on this but it would be toooooo easy....show the first pic and see who would get it..... everyone...Anyway, I finally got hold of a 1921 Perth sovereign, my first full one. I'm going to get a box/case for it , could someone tell me if the Royal mint screw caps are the same outside dia as normal 22mm caps?. Thanks... Pics taken with my iPhone and a couple of clip on lenses, one a macro and the other a 60x mini microscope... both very good for the money.
The other coin that arrived today is a Japanese 4 mon from about 1769 - 1817..I quite like the early Japanese coins, different shapes and sizes.

72 ish sovs there ?? wow, I can't even imagine. I'm blown away..... or rather my mind is .... 

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.


 

What a mess! My whole stock of palladium. 🙁

If you don't mind, here are my tubes that I bought and love.

Thanks to @BackyardBullion for creating this Gairsoppa shipwreck recovered silver hand poured bar and round.
The bar is just over 1kg at 1075g
The hammered round is also Gairsoppa silver at 5.05oz and is designed as a tribute to the Bombay Mint stamp on the orignal 1000+ oz bars sunk then recovered.
The wooden box is an ebay cheap one with a 3D printed insert I designed, printed then flocked for a smooth velvet feel.
The QR code takes you to BYB's pouring video on YouTube and it also contains a micro SD card with hi-res images, videos and forum links to the bars creation process for provenance.
 

 

If the 1966 ones are 100pts they will be .800 silver.

This is the start of my stack bought over 8 weeks. Joined the forum recently and bought another 20 x 1oz dragon bars immediately (I should of joined earlier!). Also bought a 10oz stocksdale bar, a few eagles and my first libertad. I work away a lot but hopefully they will all of been delivered by the time I next get back so I can post some unboxing photos 👍🏻

Thanks to Sören of @muenzdachs for the fabulous service he provides. He only received the 2019 set in stock on Wednesday in Germany and arrived here in Yorkshire today.

Today I received:
1oz gold Queen's Beast Griffin (£1325 bought on this awesome forum from @kneehow2018)
500g silver Geiger bar
4 Perth mint dragon bars (to fill up my tube)
Silver stuff came directly from Geiger. I paid a hefty premium on the 500g bar but I just had to get one!
I'm debating with myself whether to take off the vacuum sealed plastic around the 500g bar. I probably won't.
2p included for size comparison.

Libertad fest. Just dropped on the doormat. 
First impression are that there are some duplicate dates to me, so I will post them here for sale later today.  Just in case any of you long suffering Libertad junkies ‘need’ any of them 😂

 

Today I unpackaged a few coins for my newest project - a collection of world silver  Bullion coins. All pcgs so far grades 70. The plan is to make a plaque to hang on my wall to display them.

I got a nice wooden box today and all my stack fits nicely....
 

An out of the blue opportunity to buy some gold arose today, and at well below spot. Not things I would normally buy, but the price was most definitely right!



Shame about the scratch!
 



 

Blanks do look a bit weird.
