Got some history

Here's my final unboxing for 2019, purchased on Black Friday - my favourite pickup from this particular order has to be the 5 oz ATB, since I don't see those being sold in the UK very often

Got some history

Won this lovely coin right here on The Silver Forum for selling an item in the USA buy/sell section!  Big thanks to @ChrisSilver and @Lr103.
All members who are in the US, there is another chance to win more prizes going on right now, so get up and start selling something

I think this is my favourite coin from my small selection. She's seen some wear, but that just makes me wonder where she's been! A bit squeezed in to the capsule so the rim is partially obscured. 

 

Last nights poker game couldn’t have gone much worse- was £400 down and had to walk away. Luckily placing my last 50 on a 3card poker game yielded a surprisingly decent straight flush which paid out my losses and then some! Hightailed it out and this morning picked up these beauties. 

Finally received a silver order from The Silver Mountain that I placed last late September. 😂
I knew beforehand the 5oz Lunar - Year of the mouse had a 6 week lead time, but unfortunately that got topped up with an additional month due to delays. At least I have learned my lesson in the meanwhile 
The coin I'm actually the happiest with, and I consider it the pièce de résistance of this order, is the 2oz Ancient Egypt coin (which has some flakes of gold in its core). Surely I will have paid the motherload in premiums, but I'm just a sucker that had to have it. 😊

Interesting find looks like my US Commemorative gold five dollar coins collection is growing! 2014 baseball curved coin. 
 
also this poor knackered 1676 crown. 

Today I received a truly amazing stash of silver that would make any collector proud as a🎅🏻 Christmas Raffle Santa🎅🏻 prize
some lovely 925 silver medals (old head on one, young head on the other side) and Australian sixpence 


 
and my first ASE, 999 medal/bar and 999 £20 5 portrait coin


 
This is one truly amazing and generous price that @Jimmock put together so please put your likes on his post here
 

My 6 coin gold proof set Britannia 2014 is now at home. I was so fortunate  to get this rare set and moreover, it was a really great, nice  and straightforward deal with  @gizmo1947, thanks to him. 
This set now joins my other  beautiful 3 gold coin premium set, I bought a few months ago, thanks to @Numistacker , and my silver coins.
Now I just miss the 5oz Gold  (with a low premium of course !)
Did I say that I love these 2014 Britannia ?  
 
 


 

Happy Thursday. Thanks to @AndrewSL76 and @ilovesilverireallydo
