Festive purchases/gifts. Happy with this lot.

3 Phil's from @kamik0zi for my plan to fill a tube. Have 8 now (anyone who has an empty tube to sell please let me know). Also got some caps from @WILLIG666. My first of no doubt many Forum purchases. Also my first fractional gold which I hope becomes the first of many...

Just received a nice platinum britannia set 2007. Just 250 sets & looks very nice. See how it graded next.

 
 

A teeny, tiny Silver Jubilee medal in its original RM envelope 
 

My first sovereign purchase! 

Many thanks @1817Karl

first 2 for the year bought with the 10x nectar points so 15 quid saved on each coin amazing how the color varies in the the 1 year 1963 and 1964 sovereign 

5oz Libertad antique and 1/4oz gold. 

Might be willing to part with the spare 5oz 😉
Can anybody help with a capsule for the gold?

I have not been a fun of bars so have only a single 1oz silver bar in my collection. I find most of them lacking in design and not aesthetically pleasing.
But this RM 007 bars floats my boat so picked up five 10 oz !  👍

Received my win and all I can say is super impressed. First win of anything in decades and what a win 
Superbly packaged 
Many thanks again to @RoslandGold and@ChrisSilver
What a way to start 2021👍

From @HerefordBullyun as part of the Christmas draw. 
Was expecting just the nest mini and to have the 1oz it's a great bonus. 
 
Thank you 

The start of a very expensive set, 65 or over peace dollars...this might take a while..lol.

RAM 2015 Silver Proof Giant Sloth Roo   First published c1795 in George Barrington’s  "A Voyage to Botany Bay",  Vincent Woodthorpe’s hand-coloured engraving accompanied the description of kangaroos as ‘about the size of a common deer' was presented to a readership in no position to argue. The image proffers a masterclass in deception, unless one is to believe that common deer were at that time the size of trees and that kangaroo twins are not actually almost completely unheard of.    Reminding me of a schoolbook portrayal of the Giant Sloth, I must confess to  being totally besotted with this quite absurd numismatic offering, one which certainly deserves its place alongside the 2013 Tyrannosaurus Roo in the Skippy Hall of Fame.   In terms of mintages, only 3.098 of the maximum were produced, the only one of the "First Sightings" triumvirate not to sell out. Not an easy fellow to source, this gem arrived from Italy and was my penultimate VAT-free EU purchase.   A magnificent coin.   -Ends  

Today I finally received my 1 oz New Zealand Post 2020 Olympic Team silver proof bar that I ordered at the end of November. The bar is a stunner, shame about my photography though  Also in the post was this 2018 plain fields slabbed Britannia, my second ever slabbed coin.

Thanks @trploving the 2021 gold
As always awsome to deal with 😀

the 3 coin Lunar 3 year of the Ox proof set.
Happy 2021!!

I wish all forum members a healthy new year, good luck and continued enjoyment of our beautiful hobby.

They came via GS.BE 

Final little delivery of the year, A few baby Kooks ❤

Closing out the year with some lovely silver...
The fourth in series, a couple 2020 South Africa 1 oz Silver Big Five Leopard BUs.





 
And lastly, 1 oz silver from the Alaska Mint, 2020 Official White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad proof Medallion. These medallions are numbered and edged stamped, of which this is 028 of less than 100 minted. This one holds special interest to me as can be seen from personal experience...











 



Wishing everyone on The Silver Forum a very prosperous and joyous New Year!

Couple deliveries dropped..some awsome NWTM silver vintage from usa. Fresh as the day they were sealed Only keeping 1 but look great in the sheet 
And some very cool gold 

Got this as one of my Christmas presents, a British 1937 dated coronation 1 crown, minted from .500 silver.
This coin was last crown to be made of silver in the UK, and was brought out to commemorate the coronation of king George VI in 1937, it was made for one year only, with only 418,600 made.
A very large coin, you would certainly know about it with a few of these in your pockets back then.
Surprisingly this coin is still legal tender in the UK, having been revalued at 25p, though they are worth quite a bit more than this now, pics dont do it justice and the coin has most of its original mint lustre remaining.
