Couple of very near-spot rounds from eBay, just to get the stack weight up a bit and play with.

Latest ATB’s

I wonder if someby at La Poste went through the effort to sum up those stamps since a lot are still in French Francs and not in Euros...

Anyway, this collage contained an overstrike overload 20 Lire, the 1877. This one is not listed in numista ( @gustavus only resource I would know of) and I can blame @whuamai who brought this coin to my attention:


 
double 77 on the obverse 

and double L on the reverse 

Some of my favourite type of pickups. 
Couple of Crowns, a bullion Lib, and (I am a sucker for these - LOVE them) vintage 90s trade units (ones 2009). The Peace dollar one is ace. 

got another 13 oz today, Still just starting so lots more to go!

First post! Hi all!
Picked up 25 2017 Silver Brits this week. 
Should they have the shadow underneath the extended arm? Its on every coin but kind of appears out of place/like a mark?

The other day I received, for a second time, my 1776 Maria Theresia Taler, after it was graded, thanks to @Numistacker. Some might describe the grading result as a disaster but I still like it, it's still AU and it was conserved so it is almost as shiny as a new bullion coin, now. My first graded coin - I would have imagined the NGC slabs bigger, from the photos and videos. They are actually quite handy. Given the "detail" result, I will probably still get it out of the slab and put it into a capsule with a foam ring. It still makes a very nice, historical, ungraded coin.
Before

and after conservation:

10 1oz Scottsdale Silver Bars ...

Just ordered 10$ 1894 liberty head. Nice mixture of gold and history.
Now hoping local post will do its work properly. Worked ass off to fund it.

This 1 gram Heraeus gold bar arrived in record time from @goldmember44. Considering the distance it travelled I'm impressed that it only took under 18 hours.

2005 5 Sovereign 
getting into collecting the 5 sovereign can be expensive hobby!

Very pleased with the two MS70s.

My first circulation 20 Swiss Franc (bought at 30% below spot!)

A tremendous “Thank you!” to @ZGrizzlyWord for this beautiful 2016-W 1/2 oz Gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar Centennial. I have been looking at this since since I read one of the recent articles in “Coin World” concerning the US Mint wasn’t authorized to Mint this coin as a commemorative.

Also, from @Lr103, I received a 2010 Gold Sovereign Proof at a great price! @Lr103 has some really great coins and is awesome to work with!

Lastly, had a silver pick up with some 100x 1 gram Silver Bar - Valcambi Silver CombiBar™ (w/Assay)...never know when you may need to pay someone with a pinch o’ silver!
