[Boruta]

Finally, came back from my holiday with new silver pile 😅 Also, special thanks to @Richard82 and @Spyder to set and help with the deal on Golden Yale 🥰.

I was really lucky to buy and add Silver Panda from 2000 to my small collections of Pandas 🤩

Are they easy to distinguish from the base metal proofs?

Actually, I'd need to see one next to the silver proof probably. 

I think sometimes you can just tell when something is silver by the look, feel, taste and smell of it. 😅

Under spot price pick up today 💪 anyone looking for certain mint mark letters/years.

Never bought a coloured coin before, but I loved this design too much. Really shows off this year’s lunar silver.

A tiny 1852 US Gold $2.50 coin and the 2023 1/4oz platinum proof Britannia. Lovely to get these delivered today.

Ich habe noch nie eine farbige Münze gekauft, aber dieses Design hat mir zu sehr gefallen. Das diesjährige Mondsilber kommt wirklich gut zur Geltung. 

Very nice, I bought the two of them in a blister pack, the red dragon comes across even better. Greetings Maxe.

Yes I’m thinking about the carded red dragon too

An 1814 Paris 20 Francs with much lustre, Louis XIII dressed portrait. Quite hard to find an uncirculated sample. Of all Franc designs this and the Napoleon III shield back are my favourite. Cracked out from a PCGS MS63 and spots/grease removed.

Not knowing anything about these.. how do you know it’s a Paris vs. a London… or were all 1814s Paris before you know who came back?

There is an A on reverse, which is the mint mark for Paris. London francs will have an R where A is (next to 1814).

It's not a rare year-mint combination, but they don't appear on the market often. It's also quite easier to find Francs of this grade than George III guineas and sovereigns of the same era, despite probably similar mintage figures, which I find quite interesting.

the best shield sovereign i could "easily" source and buy in very high grade. Of course a 1871

1871 and 1872 are the two easier years. Congratulations! This is such a beautiful coin.

[refero]

yes indeed. This one is a MS64+

🤣🤣that looks in fab condition being so so old…..and you cracked it out a PCGS slab at that grade that will make some folk apoplectic with rage but it’s your coin and I can totally understand it.

If I wanted to sell it I could always grade and slab again. If I thus get a lower grade then everyone knows grading is a total fuss.

A 1913 Indian head $5 cracked open from NGC slab thanks to @Leonmarsh

I like a carded. So bought this to go with my others from 2023. A last treat to myself this year probably.......maybe......
