Few more pieces I'd love to share. 
First off is the work of @StBeesSilver brilliant bars and highly addictive stacking potential 🤣
Second is a date run of silver threepence' still looking for a 1912

Just a few tiddly bits. I must admit I do like the new 2021 brittania design.

And a couple cheeky bits of gold just turned up.
The 2g Orianas dont come up often. 😀

John at @StBeesSilverhas been at it again 😀😀
Box is now finished 😀 many thanks to @StBeesSilver @BackyardBullion @RiverbankSilver and @StackerQueen for filling it 

My 2021 silver Britannia arrived today.

A really well packed custom silver bar from @Troy77 and I'm well pleased with it. Thanks Troy 🙂

Finally got my 1/10 libs. All lovely 2019
And picked the mint ID up as I was intrigued by them. They are really nice in hand 

My daughter turns 16 in a few days.  She's mad about the classical world and civilisations and Romans and that sort of thing, and one day, wants to study or get a job related to that.  Anyhow, she was telling me all about the vicious life of one Emperor Caracalla who was known as Rome's ugliest Emperor and who, by all accounts lead a pretty brutal, miserable life, ( I had to google him!) and who, after murdering his mother and brother, was assassinated by a centurion.  She found this story hilarious for some reason.... So I was blown away when I managed to find this little beauty.  I keep looking at the CoA and shaking my head because I can't get my head round the fact that this little scrap of silver is 1800 years old!!  She's going to love it.  Can's wait to see her face when she realises who's scowling, grumpy head is on this coin!!

Arrived today 😊
5oz gold proof Queen

A lot of churn in the stack lately, many out, these are the first two back in.

This is my latest pickup and keeper, a 1943 dated, United States 'Walking liberty half dollar' minted from .900 silver.
This design of coin came out in 1916 and was made unchanged until 1947, three mints made them, Philadelphia (coins with no mint mark) , Denver (a D mintmark) and San Francisco (an S mintmark), some years and makers being rarer than others.
The front of the coin feature the American Eagle walking and the reverse Liberty walking draped in the US flag, the walking liberty design is still used on the 1oz bullion coins, something that puzzles me is why they only had a 1/2 dollar during the war years and not a 1 dollar coin.
Production for my coin was,
53,200,000 by Philadelphia in 1943,  
The coin seems to be a good strike for the war years and the lustre is really nice on this one, it just has a couple of bag marks on the liberty side but that does not bother me.
 

Jimmy Bond 1oz and 10oz Silver Bullion Bars
 

NO 70's in this house! - actually not bad for the date at all
I seem to need to complete date runs - a problem I have been dealing with for many years and there seems to be no cure
 
 
 

Received the 2021 1/4 oz Gold Queen’s Beast White Greyhound of Richmond Proof. Let’s just say the quality is slightly above par from what will be presented next...







...And this...which will soon be making a ‘skip across the pond’ journey back to it’s maker. The second in the James Bond series, 2020 Pay Attention 007 1/4 oz Gold Proof, with an aqua spot on the field to left of “Wet Nellie”...I get that it’s an underwater scene, but come on!!






 

My gold Greyhounds have arrived - photographed before and after putting them in the Quadrum capsules alongside the rest of the Beasts:
 
 

Just arrived home to find this beauty waiting for me.
2017 Royal Mint Pistrucci Gold Half Sovereign, PF70 ultra cameo.

A fast turnaround by the mint.
I have a nice shiny Pooh to add to my honey pot.

5 Proof $5 1/10 oz. AGEs for under regular coin prices
 

Nothing too special just a Cinco peso , never a bad idea to get some Mexican gold albeit not a original 

Nice QB Griffin many thanks to @arshimo2012 super quick delivery and well packaged as always
 

The two are together.

2.5g bar and 1/10th Britannia.
