Going on travel regrettably results in the following...

Three Seljuk Sultanate Pale Gold Dinar (1072-1092 AD) VF (Crusades). These coins were struck in Pale Gold meaning that it has about an 80% Silver to 20% Gold ratio.

Dinar #1

Dinar #2

Dinar #3

 

And here we have two Prince Albert 2019 Celebration Sovereigns, in all their magnificent glory and accompaniment for his two Queen Victoria’s received earlier!

One from The Royal Mint...

One from @TheCoinConnection!!

 

Also, picked up a random selection Half Sovereign...receiving a 1987 sadly abused proof.

And last, but my no means least, from the finest silver pouring craft-master himself, Mr. @BackyardBullion, a beautiful 2019 100g The Silver Forum Bar!!

 

The Pale Gold look is amazing, I wish they pushed out more coins with a silver gold mix as opposed to the sovereign copper gold mix. When my first 2019 sovereign turned up from the royal mint i was shocked at how brown it was, might as well be pure copper!

Great pickups @CadmiumGreen.  I love those Dinars.  One reason I love old silver and gold coins, regardless of the metal content value, the history attached to them is awesome.  Hard to imagine holding something used to transact over 900 years ago.  I like your style!

Thank you so very much! From our previous exchanges you and I have very similar likes and appreciation of the unique varieties and history, as others on TSF do as well. That is what is awesome about the camaraderie, encouragement, and sharing on the Forum. I was fortunate enough to see these Dinars on APMEX at a good price during one of the higher gold prices. So took advantage of the opportunity to add these coins with a history in the former Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia region (centered primarily in Iran). I got at least three to satisfy my gold content of at least a half Sov. 😁

The wedgetail is stunning, ain’t it?! I got one too. Love the Krug too. There is something about the 1/10s that I love...not sure what it is but they look awesome!

Postie was nice and early today

Update: only 4 of them made it to the album, the quarter has a little too much wear so it goes into the junk bin

A six ounce silver copy of one of the worlds rarest coins, the 1933 Double Eagle. Only 13 coins in existence and only one in private hands. Fascinating story if you want to look it up. Theft, court cases, a king and the US secret service all involved, amongst others.

Last sold in 2002 for $7.6 million.

Watched a documentary about the coin recently, if I ever remember what it was called I will post it..great story! A guy at the mint swapped a load for 1932’s and had a stash of them at home...only discovered when he died.. then the Feds stole the lot!!

Got my first double Sovereign today. I also considered £2 coins from this forum but it had to be Pistrucci, this time. Still a £5 and a quarter Sovereign on the list. The scratches and marks are on the capsule.

Thank you to @Xander for so quickly selling and sending me these two very fine 250g beasts. I now have nearly 2.5 Kilo of beautiful poured silver, including a half heart mistake which is one of my favourite pieces!

[daca]

@AndrewSL76  Congratulation, beautiful collection. More so that every one of the pieces are unique .

Can the feds steal things that were already stolen?

In theory they weren’t stolen, they were ‘swapped’ ..one ounce for one ounce..but I know what you mean...but let’s be honest...the feds can  steal just about everything they want!

Totally agree with you there. One of my favourite coins I have bought is a Australian proof sovereign which has a good and silver combo. Beautiful looking gold.
