Lovely coins.  The shot of the elephant is especially good, with a little shadow bringing out the surface texture and relief.

Thank you.  On coins with a polished background or device, I think it's good to have some variation in the light, so I moved it around until the light was just falling off at the edge.

Although hugely lacking in quality shots, these little beauties arrived this morning from @flyingveepixie to continue my little backward date run of Sovs, to match my 1/4 Brits. 

Still need 2020s at some point🤷.

Anyway, very happy with these, great condition and a lovely person to deal with. Thanks Pixie

Beautiful coins. I have discovered the Spanish coins and got the Lynx, the Bull in 1/10 oz, and also ordered the Horse in 1oz. If I am able to find a good deal for the Lynx in 1oz, I'll grab it too. The elephant is also gorgeous...I am considering the 1/10oz as a very liquid investment and even with higher premium, this is not a problem as I get it back when selling, even to some dealers who pay a premium for these coins. If the spot will rise (and I think it will), the 1/10oz and the 1/4oz sizes  will be the sweet spot and could become very sought after

I might get the bull at some point.  There are a few tenth coins knocking around that I want to get pics of.  The bull, maybe a proof krug if I can find it, and a maple - plus any number of previous year coins from Perth Mint if I can find them.  I think this will be an ongoing project of buying one or two here and there and taking pics of them.

Bought this shipwreck golden ducat. This is one out of 2000 found in the Dutch VOC shipwreck Vliegent hert which sunk in 1735 in a brutal storm.

Yep, normally I buy modern gold and silver. But couldn’t resist to buy this one. A coin with a beautiful story 👌

[Silverlocks]

3 LMU 20 Franc Coins A 20 Franc Rooster and a 1947 Vrenelli courtesy of @James32, and a 1909 Vrenelli from @goldmember44.  Got these a few days ago, but I've been a little busy so just catching up with the pics.  Note the slightly different colour of the 1909 Vrenelli - more silver in the alloy gives it a more yellow colour.  Really nice lustre on the Rooster and the 1947 Vrenelli.

Thank You for the info, I've noticed so many gold kroner/krona coins from late nineteenth early twentieth century from Norway, Sweden, Netherlands Denmark and so on with fantastic portraits and as a major bonus many have superb shieldback designs. It's a whole new rabbit hole for me but I must resist... I tell you... I must resist...  the prices look good... No I must resist!

Received today... Another Atikitsons purchase. I've got a soft spot for the 2002 shield backs so can't help grabbing an extra half here and there when I can, I'm low on oxygen today so ability with the camera is poor again..

Quite right - those shiny little suckers are difficult to focus!  Try Nitrous Oxide instead of oxygen. At least you’ll have a laugh!

This was my best attempt…..😁
