[Gildeon]

Ten beautiful Spanish silver medals. Most of them 50 cm with high relief and nice toning.

Not sure about the silver content, I will publish the hallmark in the silver section for more info hopefully.

And yes, all of them from 1967! 🧐 

[Birdy]

Just a nice 1920 Perth mint sovereign. 

[SILVERFINGER]

This is my latest pickup a 1942 dated 'Mercury headed' Dime (or 10 Cents), made from .900 silver by the Philadelphia mint.
This coin design was brought out in 1916 replacing the previous 'Barber Dime' coin, it was manufactured unchanged until 1945 when it was replaced by the Roosevelt Dime design.
The first thing that shocked me when I was first looking at wartime versions of these coins was the fascine on the reverse, this was Italy's dictatorships emblem used by Mussolini, and where they got the word 'fascist' from, it was only when I realised that the design was used on the US coin long before he used it and not the other way around.
The front featured what looked like the Greece god Mercury, but I think it was Liberty wearing a winged cap with it meaning freedom of thought.
Many millions of these were made for nearly three decades, different mints, errors and weakness of the strike from worn dies effecting the value as well as condition, apart from whether or not a coin has all its original mint lustre one way to check the wear on these coins is if you can see the separate little bands holding the fascine's together, if the top and bottom ones look one piece (instead of two) then the coin is probably worn, the centre one can also wear down BUT, a coin like mine that has all its mint lustre probably was made from a worn die making the centre band look like a one piece.
The coins were made by three mints, one had no mint mark the others had letters denoting theirs, this could be found bottom left of the fascine.

Philadelphia, no mark
Denver, a D
San Francisco, an S

My coin had a mintage of a colossal 205,432,329 million minted in 1942 alone, by just the Philadelphia mint, so they are common but also not as easy to find in AU/UNC condition possibly due to the soft high silver content in them and long time in service, which to this day are still legal tender in the USA.

A purchase from a new seller/member @Empire with thanks to the escrow service of @BackyardBullion 

Fantastic coin at a super price. 

I’m happy to recommend the new seller and BYB service, which was smooth with a capital ‘OO’.

I’m going to have to flip this one to fund a purchase I’m desperate for, if you are interested keep your eyes peeled or give me a shout!

Beautiful piece

Many thanks to @LawrenceChard Chards @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer For this super purchase! A bit of an oxymoron, Sussie Gold Silver... Fabulous customer service when the system failed on the payment page, spot ran away, yet Chards honoured the deal at nearly a £50 loss to them.

 

They have also dispatched an order made via Platinum Deals that Chards offer exclusively for Platinum members, thanks @ChrisSilver. Again Chards offered a deal I suspect they may have forgotten about, as they set it up back when Spot was LOW! Yet they have honoured the deal without question, letting me buy the cheapest silver available in the UK! Sent today so watch this space...

Ok have a few more coming but the prices while nice for sellers will slow me down a bit.

@ZatStackz Thank you very much for a smooth transaction! (The Silver and copper dragon) And handling my first transaction via the forums.

[HGr]

A fresh pillow. Wanted one of these for ages, glad I could get one before they became out of reach.

The Sun shines Up North too- Flat cap off, string vest on...even the Whippet has taken his harness off.  

But wait, what’s that lurking in the bushes...?

It’s only a 1924 USA $20 Dollar Saint Gaudens...

 

Plentiful lump of Gold, apparently MS64’s  to 66’s are commonplace.  It’s in a gawd- awful looking slab, might get the hammer out later on.
