West Meet’s East 

Ägypten Englisch 001.MP4 I put it with some music (you tube) also on this blog online: https://silberzahn.blogspot.com/2019/10/beautiful-coinset-salomonen-die.html 

$3.80 face U.S, very odd toning on the Morgan

Raw 1818, soo nice 😍

Well I finally managed to get an OCD proof 5 ReichsMark coin, same mint as my 2 Reichsmark (D Munich).
 

 

 
 

Here is my small and humble stack thus far (31ozt). I only started a few months ago. My stack is a mix of generic bullion bars, generic fractional rounds, junk silver and a hint of poured silver.

(Apologies for the crudity of the display. In the process of moving.)

Strictly speaking more of 'this last month, or so, i received....' post!
I've just got back from a nice sunny break in Lisbon where i 'stumbled' accross "Numismatica Diamantino" which had a pretty impressive collection of coins from throughout Portugal's currency history. I could've stayed there all day looking through the books of individual coins from decades gone by, but a glare from both my parents and girlfriend called a halt to proceedings (who i'd somehow managed to convince i was merely 'popping in' as we 'passed by' as it was definitely 'on the route'.......!)

I couldn't get my grubby mitts on a Ponte Salazar (the other Lisbon bridge) whilst i was out there, but since ordered one from eBay to add to the collection. Coincidentally there were 10 for sale here yesterday, which completely blew my mind as i spent hours looking for the right one online for the right price and i could've had 10 from TSF if i was quick enough!
Also received 6 of these fantastic 2019 1oz Royal Coat of Arms bullion coins from our very own @StackSellRepeat. I can't get enough of these. I see a tube of these coming on!

My first 16 Britannia's kickstarting the 'My First Tube' accomplishment!

2020 Royal Mint Lunar Rat. 

And last but by no means least, 6 of the East India Trading Company trade dollars (2 x US, British & Chinese) courtesy of our own @Stackerads and SilverTrader; and 1 solitary Spade Guinea with thanks to @richatthecroft. 
Not to everyone's taste for a 'presentation box coin' i know, but i find something very endearing with these coins (especially, of course, the Spade Guinea). I found myself wanting to pick them up when i first got them and thought a CoinGallery case would be the ideal answer to help scratch the silver itch! Looking forward to the Japanese and French dollars and perhaps another Guinea to fill the gaps! 

Today I received a 1 gram Umicore gold bar and a 2oz silver Lion of Mortimer. Spent too much last month so had to cut back a bit.

I sold this Krugerrand to buye me some smoller sized gold and silvercoins
 

 

A beautiful historical gold coin from Switzerland.

Another slow and steady colletion. 

Stack finally moved to deposit box

Not much activity in this thread so thought I'd get things going again. I hope some long time members could post up their stacks as well 🙂
I collect only premiuim/date runs of Silver, and Gold Sovereigns (Proof & bullion).

A newbie stack started in June

Apologies for the horrendous lighting and picture, I’m clearly no photographer.

The sovereigns, not the greatest picture.

All my 1oz gold coins.

Here is my modest Stack. I’m finally at the 100 Oz Silver goal just need to increase my gold stash now.

7th 1 oz Silver Proof in the Queens Beasts series arrived today, seven down three more to go. Joined his place with his cousins in @Alun stunning box.

Ok, the big reveal... and if anyone has ideas of liberating it, the dogs got it covered... @Sovereign as you were the closet, address please for a small gift (including the owed chocolate).
