Perth Mint always have fabulous strike quality.  Their BU coins might as well be reverse proofs.  Nice photos, too.

Your photos make those coins really pop! Look really good

Thanks they look better in real life but my phone is pretty brutal, it seems to exaggerate even a speck of dust and make it look like an angle grinder mark. I just hold still and click 🤣

Photography will do that - It's quite the challenge to get photos of Gillicks that don't like Liz has vitiligo or cystic acne

It’s 6 weeks worth..not that spectacular.

I have donated a Blistered 1oz Celebration Silver bar for tonight’s charity auction on @COBRASTACKER’s You Tube Cannel ( cheap plug). It’s for the Heart Foundation. The 24 hr live Stream by the organiser-The Stack Collector.

@365DaysofSilver, I tore those deliveries open like a possessed child at Christmas. Just sayin’

Stunning haul of goodies @NGMD.💖👌 You've mentioned pamp bars, I love the red packaging. Might look into the luna series too. I think the dragon is next💖👌

Those PAMP lunar series are a little special.Not for the faint hearted on premiums. I picked it up with the Dragon 2 days before the spike on spot😁

From a very reliable source…..Tavex will have the 5g Dragons on the 25th. Don’t pay BBP prices for the same bar.

I love the Durga coin - designs like that are hard to do well, but the artist really nailed it.  There will be a 2024 one at some point.

I got mine from silvertrader, but it didn't come with a COA.  I found out who the artist is the other day.  Her name is Carmen Testa and she's got an instagram account called carmen_testa_artist.  The reason I found this out was that she liked a photo of it that I put up on an instagram page where I've been uploading my photos (still work in progress as the workflow is a bit slow and tedious).

It looks like she does quit a bit of design work for Le Grand Mint.  She's put the concept sketch for the 2024 coin up on her instagram page.

Met with a friend last week that id not seen for about 9 months. When I last visited him I took him a Wright Brothers silver 1oz round (he loves aviation) so when I turned up this time he gave me the 1oz Aztec by way of thanks 👍🏼

I'm lucky to own the 5oz version of this coin. I think it was @MaxeBaumann that posted it on here and I couldn't resist. The detail on these coins are amazing. Enjoy it!

Just received a rotating stand to display my  Singapore “MerLion”

Its BU and not particularly expensive but I really like this coin
