Couple more beauties received this morning

The 1884M from the recent Coin Cabinet auction and the Viente Peso from HGM

 

The 20 and 50 Peso are a little special- very appealing.

You got another 20 before Christmas if I remember.

I've also finally got my 2023 UK BU definites. And for last but most definitely not least. Saving the best till now and probably my favoure £25 coin I have...

2022 KCII Queen Elizabeth II (double effegy) 1/4 £25 proof coin. I'm pretty sure these will be collectors peices some day. I ummed and arred about getting it in 1oz but I do like my quarters.

Might be worth a picture out of the capsule unless you’ve been running behind a gritting lorry with it.

[AaaGee]

Posty (well DPD) dropped this off yesterday. Just one for the stack. Apologies for the poor pic. Was taken in unnatural light.

Yeah I'm really sorry about the photos they really don't do it justice. I will pick a good still day before I expose it to the elements and come back with better photos. I also need to get a mini mobile tripod for my camera. 🤔

Use gloves when opening, you may never intend to touch coin, but the last thing you need is a big fingerprint on it.

[Kitalon]

Yes white gloves is on my wishlist. I may have to use one of our hermetically sealed labs at my school. I've already discovered something of the dangers of exposing a coin to air, but nothing beats seeing a such a coin in the metal.

Don’t stress, that coin has had plenty of experience of being exposed to air already and is sitting in air in its capsule. If it’s going to get copper spots etc. you aren’t going to stop it!😮🤔just get it it out anhave a proper look at it🤔😮😮😁

I did stress a bit at first because of a micro-particulate and then did a reality-check. It is a lump of metal after all no harm will come to it. 😄 I do however need one of those puffy-puff lens cleaners we used to use to knock dust off 35mm camera lenses. But no biggie, except for my OCD. Lessons learned. I probably do need to get a lump of bog standard bullion or old sovereigns to fondle.
