Picked up a $5 half eagle from 1900. Wouldn't normally go for these but the price was reasonable and it's fairly nice condition. The seller also had a 1908 incuse version for the same price that was beautiful condition - except that someone had deliberately scratched the field, probably for an acid test

Can't really afford to stump up for a mint carded 2007 Roo so this will have to do. Not mint but more affordable.
3 more to go.

2x 2016 Maple for GBP 7.57 (with a bit of help from ebay with a GBP 25 gift voucher)! 

1 2016 8g Goldpanda
1 2016 3g Goldpanda
2 2016 1g Goldpandas
The 1g is way to small for me, wont get more of those

I was in the vicinity of the nearest coin shop while out shopping today, so I thought I'd stop in. All I ended up buying was another 2015 ASE, but while talking with the lady that works there, she gave me 2 small loupes that someone had given to them. They were older, and made by Baush & Lomb, but they still work great, so I'm quite pleased that I decided to stop in.

I'm such a liar - popped in again to LBMA dealer on my way back from Kabuki Theater - 175 quid the pair.
 

Free for me - that's why I went. Actually it was Kyogen by the way, not Kabuki.

One Libertad proof 1991, in its nice old box, and for comparison a modern design 2014 Libertad proof. Both 1 oz silver. 
The side by side allows you to compare the diameter - modern being bigger, and the reverse designs - which changed in 2000. 
Mintage 10,000 for 1991 and 4,700 (i think) for 2014. 

Went a bit LBMA registered yesterday.
 
 

I love the reverse of that Libertad, much much nicer than the latest ones with those separate roundel thingies.

On eBay in the US - another 1 oz proof silver Libertad in its box + COA, this one from 1986 which was the second year of the proofs and the biggest ever mintage (30,000) so these are quite easy to come by. $43 which is about £29. When I think about the beauty of these old Mexican proofs and compare to the UK Lunar proof series at £82 a piece I know which I prefer in terms of value /$ , although I confess I am collecting both! The Libertad curse has taken hold ....
