Before anyone asks, my excuse is I had to average out the postage cost.... 😄

I bought these to bulk out another purchase, but having received them these are quite beautiful. 

Another fractional gold addition to the stack. Emirates this time

1844 Crown now just waiting on my 1937 crown to arrive and then the set of circulating crowns from 1800 is complete! (thank god the Gothic crown was a non-circulating coin!)
With a mintage of just 94,200 this is the scarcest date of the young head shield crowns (non-proof). The reverse shield design is remarkably similar to that used on the half crown but is slightly narrower.
The inescutcheon featured on coinage by William IV and George IV in the middle of the coat of arms was removed and instead the shield stood bare. This was because Victoria, by virtue of her being a woman, was unable to become Elector of Hanover so the inescutcheon had to dissapear from the coins
Despite being pretty worn and dented on the obverse, the reverse shield has a beautiful rainbow toning to it but as usual the camera struggles to do it justice.

Every little helps, from Silverpaolo

2017 1/4 proof Britannia

A 5oz proof lunar S2 2012 Dragon. Got it for almost the same price as a 5oz BU. 😎

 

@Thomast took a while mate, but got to sunny Spain safe and sound 💪

Found one! not quite PM, but PM related 😃 perfect for the fancy stuff.

2020 Britannia - Rat Privy. I'm still on the hunt for the illusive Pig Privy.

This arrived today, 1937 dated Austrian 2 Schilling, made from .640 silver, Austria released circulating commemorative coins each year, this one was celebrating 200 years since the building of their main church St Karl, 1937 was the last year Austria made silver coins of their own, the Third Reich invading and confiscated their coinage replacing it with their own in 1938.
Made one year only, and 500,000 minted.
The coin I could tell was a bit of a diamond in the rough, it had been kept in a PVC slip for decades, which had turned it into the incredible Hulk, it was dirty and had unattractive toning and probably one reason I got it so cheaply, so I decided this one I would use some MS70 coin cleaner on and it brought it back to life a treat.
 
As bought


 
Half cleaned
 


 
 
And completed, very happy with it, can see all the original lustre now
 


 

1897P VAM-10 slightly doubled 1 "Bearded Eagle" is a much cooler name since the doubling in the 1 can be invisible

Received today from @StackSellRepeat! 

A nice little delivery for me this morning. A few more ozs to add to my newbie stack.
