Ja, da ich selbst Sammler bin, verstehe ich nicht, warum die Perth Mint so etwas macht. Sie sind meiner Meinung nach die schlechteste Münzstätte der Welt, wenn es darum geht, mitten in einer Serie herumzuspielen oder Dinge zu ändern.

Früher habe ich alle Kookaburras in 2-Unzen-Silberbeschichtung gesammelt, bis sie 2005 damit aufgehört haben, aber ich glaube, 2017 haben sie wieder damit begonnen (korrigieren Sie mich, wenn ich falsch liege), aber ich habe keine Sammlung mit einer Lücke von 12 oder 13 Jahren.

Well, that's the way it is, for me there's no going back to this series, then it's just not complete. I'm consistent and stubborn about that. Thank you for your feedback. Maxe.

So cute! Wish I’d had more than a £100 spare!

Some silver coins and much-loved by me Mason Mint's rounds in antique finish, this time Patriot series' American Revolution, WW1 and WW2.

The photos are rather good - it's nice to see folks putting effort into getting decent pics of the coins.

Ahh, I do like coins with tanks on. There should be more!

Weirdly, I think the oldest coin with a tank on dates from 1981 (or 1980 if you think an 8-wheeled IFV is a tank). I find it bizarre that there were no circulating tank coins during WW2, as there were plenty of stamps with tanks on at that time. Happy to be proven wrong of course!

There is an ongoing 12-coins series issued by Czech Mint on behalf of Niue. I assume, however, they are quite difficult to obtain. Also, unfortunately, the texts on accompanying cards are in Czech language only.

Also, before the war, there were 2 coins produced by private mint in Russia, as well on behalf of Niue.

First batch have landed. No just to wait for the second lot I sent to the vault 🤦‍♂️ instead of delivery

2023 Rwanda African Ounce: Gorilla & Crocodile

I pick these up when I see them for a good price.  I can feel a date run starting, as I really like the designs.

Big thanks to @stefffana and @ST1986

They're very nice for a BU coin.  If LGM's other offerings weren't all expensive proofs I could be quite the Carmen Testa fanboy.

These rounds really do honour both the military and those who serve, have served and will serve.

Today I received the second of my two January purchases. I am very happy with both the 2018 Four Generations of the Royal Family (received this morning) and my current favourite (owned) 2021 QEII's 95th Birthday £25 1/4 oz gold proof coin.

A lovely coin! Seeing as mine is without box I’ve been considering getting it graded! I can’t see anything on the reverse. 

[Kitalon]

It is a really beautiful coin and a true work of art. I never tire of looking at it (although I would never grade/lock away a coin in a slab I prefer to see the unobstructed metal with the naked eye). There are a few really beautiful £25 coins that I would like, especially 2023 KCIII 75th Birthday and 2022 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II commemoratives.

I got mine today, nice little coins 😀

[Orpster]

Another 1872M for the collection, not a particularly high grade but a rare year for Melbourne (first year) and one I have a real attraction to

 

And of course some 1/4 Sovereigns

[Silverlocks]

What's with the rash of quarter sovereigns?  Were they going cheap somewhere?

Royal Mint messed the price up, were selling at £99 when the loose were £135.  Was posted up in the Gold deals page
