You made fotos of your silvercoins on toilett 

I might get some in the close future

Slick negotiating technique I’ve heard...and if that fails :-
 

Got this lot for 1% over spot delivered, thanks to the HGM Black Friday sale. Got a little over excited adding stuff to the basket, no more purchases for me for a long time! 😂

 
Some close up pics; 

Some special and semi_key Pandas
Elusive Bimetallics : 
Hard to find the 1996 Munch coin show  (mintage 1500) at 25/30% below market price
 
 
The bimetallic 10 Yuan 1994 Mintage 3000. Beautiful overall and nice silver  toning for a nice price,  but will need conservation if graded

Semi key  1/2oz 2006 with 10% premium

Key 1/10 oz Panda 2006. I bought it at Metal Market Europe (first time and last time buy). But very disapointed with the quality and MME reply when I asked for a refund. They said that Pandas are only bullion coins and not numismatic coins, when I argued about the (high) premium, they said it's normal for fractionnal coins (150% premium, ouch....). I hope to send it back however and everything will be fine
 

Trades are so much more fulfilling than buying. Thanks @ogb777 for these two lovely coins.

1883 Hungary 20 Forint/8 Gilders MS62

A rare chance to pick up a nice date run of early French 20 Francs...

My 2019 1/2 oz Mexico Libertad Gold Reverse Proof coin. 
I bought both 1oz and the 1/2oz for 2018 because of its first year of issue.
I can only afford 1/2oz for now. 
Very beautiful coin. 

Yea certainly a restrike. This is one for people after low premium bullion rather than the coin collectors I think. Although it is a nice looking coin. 
I'm in two minds myself between this one and the Chards 100 Corona at the moment! 

1% over spot for the re-strikes

Apologies for the photo quality but here is my collection so far (started two months ago). 
 

Spanish 20 pesetas from LMU period ( one of the 2 affordable coins out of 4 existing ) 

Had to show this after triple checking it was legit, 18k, 40g, 36 diamonds adding up to over 1 tcw.....Beautiful, and appraised in 1994 at over $7000.

Got some treasure 😄☠️
 
 

Low mintage loveliness.

Received two Gold coins from Chards today, 1 oz Gold Britannia 2008 (+4.25% spot) and Mexican 50 Pesos (+1% spot). Final picture all the coins received this week (averages just under 3% over spot) and I am still hunt for 1 oz Gold Britannia 2001/2003 and 2007 to try and complete date run 1 oz Gold Britannia's that have unique designs in bullion.

Received from ATS Bullion today a Peruvian 10 Diez Soles- nice coin- a bit bigger than a half Sovereign .900 Gross Weight 4.607g- bought at Spot (it was marked up at +40%) due to a Chilean 50 Pesos arriving with a defect- great customer service. 

Both the skenderbeg coin and the perper are really nice !
2 of my favourite coins in the "obscure" European coin category !

On the face of it (or Obverse) take your pick! having received these coins today, all 1.51oz of them, should have been one of those days as you will have all experienced- collector or stacker alike- a day that fills you full of warmth and optimism that some point in the future, reward for your hard work and investment risk will be rewarded. 
Unfortunately, and an understatement, receiving these coins from two different dealers hasn’t met my expectations- and that warm feeling has not being forthcoming.
I have had redress that has left me satisfied from one of the dealers however, the other one has left me- it’s difficult not to swear at this point- extremely disappointed to say the least. 
I’ll put up a thread later with a thorough explanation of my cryptic post, so that everyone here gets a flavour of what Customer Service actually means to two particular dealers. 

Got some nice old Indian silver. Some for sale some to keep
