Still 5 sets left at Apmex as of typing if anyone fancies a bit of excitement.

1891 Morgan silver dollar - CC Mint. My first Carson City Morgan, not the best looking Mrgan I have - but nice to see the CC checked off my list ... 

CC Morgans only minted in 13 years, from 1878 to 1893   At around 1.6 million mintage, the 1891 CC is in the middle of the pack - not the commonest or the rarest year. 

So far I keep all my Morgans as they are - but maybe I should pop them all into 38mm direct Airtites?

I do

Although the mintage was 1.6m there's a good chance that a fair few were melted after the 1918 Pitman Act. Meaning it's not that common these days, even though some bags were paid out from the mint in the 40's and 50's so there are a fair sprinkling of mint-state coins.

Yours is the so called "Spitting Eagle" variety but don't get too excited, it's the most common type

[HelpingHands]

I'm sure Lindeman will be pleased to know that there are further variations to collect.

Oh yes I am indeed! Still about 5 years to bag to start with - including the 1895, which will have me spitting feathers - never mind the eagle! Not many of those around for less than £100. 

Ok - airtites will be deployed soon guys   ?

1/4 1984 Gold Panda.  Older fractional Pandas can be quite expensive so I'm happy to pickup fair priced 2nd choice as long as they're in decent condition.

Today my 1987 silver Libertad finally arrived. It has a few knocks and some tarnishing, ah well. Then I noticed the wording around the edge of the coin that I never realised was there when it was advertised. Makes it a little more interesting.

Couple of 1 oz Lunar proofs.

I was looking at them on ebay and it turned out to be a prominent forum member

[sovereignsteve]

The Penny Black proof crown from @HelpingHands "reverse auction"

I love the finish on this coin, it sure shows up the minute dust particles though.

On the contrary @Numistacker..Libertads very good for your spiritual and financial health?

[Silvergun]

A great pickup from @Shinus73 thank you.

Took the kids Alton Towers today and instead of missing the Apmex order I got my dad to house sit for it.

2014 1oz Gold Canadian 5 Blessings - Been after this for a while and back when it was released there were very few places stocking it.  Just like the RAM kangaroo and Lunar Series, this was also distributed by PAMP.

2016 1/4 Queen's Beast - One for myself and some for fellow forum members.  Lion is mint and obverse seems fine apart from some hazing around the outer edge.  I've noticed this with the 2oz silver ones too but they seem to be affected on the reverse.

[mikehosilver]

I received a few additions today. Nothing rare but I was happy to find the 2014 Horse privy Maple in stock at the same place as the other two. I put the Queen's Beast into a 2oz high relief capsule for safe keeping. It's not an exact fit but better than nothing at all.

Where'd you get the cap from Mike?

[morezone]

In a delivery from Germany I have the final coin needed for my 1/10 Kangaroo/Nugget Bullion date run, the very elusive 1989.  Has a massive mintage of over 122k but it has taken me almost 2 years to find and buy one at the right price.  I did see one maybe a year or so ago but passed on it as the postage was €29.  I will take the coin out of the original square cap and put it into a modern round one so it can fit into my coin box.

Also picked up a few bits of silver.  The Fiji Iguana has now been removed from the Certi-Lock packaging and placed in a capsule and the 2016 Congo Gorilla has been removed from the cardboard backing.

Provident Metals sells them. It was $1.89 I believe.

Lol. Is that called a flock of libertads or seagulls ?

I'm surprised you don't have a nice case to display them, all though I'm sure one wouldn't come cheap

Except that his was not from those listed for sale but was a pre-order along with a few other forum members.
