A teeny tiny panda ? 

Wow! I'm going to take all my future photos of coins in bright sun light! My first QB. And look at it. It's immaculate! ?
 

Gotta love the big boys

1904 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle. Very pleased with the condition.
Another big coin for JB! ?
 
 

Just bought the only PF70 gold proof d day to add to my collection extremely happy 
 

My latest purchases:
(Though not really from 'Today' as in the topic's headline)

Top row:
1/4 oz bullion Lion
My first golden Beast; recently decided to collect the quarter bullions.
Syrian Gold Pound of 1950
Israeli 'Sovereign' of 1960
My second one; the other isn't in good condition. The sole Israeli coin in Sovereign specifications.

Bottom row:
1 Pound 1956 South Africa Proof
Mintage 508! Not in proof condition anymore but I couldn't resist.
1/2 Sov 1897 London
Medal made from .929 gold of the Elbe river, Saxony Free State, Germany. Maximum mintage is 999 but six months after launch I received CoA 039/999.

Last week I received two nice items, but very different from each other.
The first is a nice coin from Burundi from the Baby five series. I've been looking for a coin from Burundi for longer, but I really don't like their design in the African lion series. I managed to get this one for a reasonable price in an online auction. It came without the original box, but I think the price makes up for it. I really love the design on this one. The high relief combined with the antiquing really makes it pop out. In real life it looks a bit better than photos with the light playing of it.
The other one is a cool item is native silver of a calcite base. Not for stacking of course, but nice to have the range of silver in it's original form, bars and coins. I love the fine detail on it.

A 2006 bullion half sovereign .

1959 Mexico Gold 20 Pesos with a beautifully detailed Cuauhxicalli Eagle Bowl Aztec Calendar or Sun Stone and edge inscription “INDEPEDENCIA Y LIBERTAD”. Thank you very much to @JunkBond for his advice and inspiration in adding some Mexican gold to the collection.
Also, five 2013 Great Britain 1/4 oz Silver Britannia SS Gairsoppa BU. Having a beautiful portrait of Britannia with the ship’s name as an edge inscription in a lasting tribute to Gairsoppa and her crew.

 
 

Not a great success but George's first appearance on a coin. Won cheaply on eBay and @Numistacker secured the FR designation 

 
I like how the blue label goes with the coat of arms of Zeeland 

1857 French 20 franc coin, 2018-P Voyageurs 5 oz ATB, and the from the 2oz Destiny Knights Series: 1 proof The Shield (#3 in series), and 1 proof and 1 BU The Smith (#4 in series). The Destiny series have fantastic artwork.  Sold thru APMEX if anyone is interested.

Received today from Bullionbypost. I was impressed with their communication and next day delivery. Very impressive coin.

2018 65th Anniversary Sapphire Coronation Celebration Struck on the Day Sovereign arrived! Looks awesome and the capsule stayed secure through the transit!

Got to say the royal mint upped the packaging for this one. Came in a box with all the little foam cushions. Looks great  

Received this yesterday.  Thanks to all who offered sound buying advice to me.  Beautiful coin.

1932 Indian Head Ten Dollars for my little "half oz or there abouts" collection.
 

Photos of my bargain Gairsoppa bar. See the nick they took out of it.

I just got this today. A 1820 gold half sovereign coin with a mintage of just 35,000. Any guesses on what it might grade ?

Second pickup was a 2014 Gold Buffalo.
The depth of strike on this coin has to be seen in the flesh!
Turned into an expensive Sunday!
 

My first 1/4oz gold Britannia. I have quite a few 1oz gold coins, but this is my first fractional coin.
I quite like it. Not as much as the full Britannia, but it's still nice, and still gold!

Recent acquisitions from Baird & Co and Hatton Garden Metals. 

As a Fathers Day gift today: Marsh “The Gold Sovereign” ?
what a great book - don’t know how I have survived so long without Marsh...Now i dont have to Google up the branch mintages! 

Hello, received quite a few coins this week. The last package was from an Australain eBay seller and included the proof 2002 1/2 sovereign, 1990 silver £1 proof coin, the 1995 £2 2nd world war silver proof and the 1986 U.K. BU coin collection. A bit of a mixed bag and was really only after the 1/2 sovereign but the others are nice looking coins. 

From @morezone the before and after!
