Today I received... my Sigma PMV! After a couple months pondering and saving-up, plus good week and a bit for shipping, it has finally arrived! I may be offering coin checking services down the line (with videos, live testing if close to my location, etc.) but not entirely sure yet. A project in the works

Honestly it's a releif the coins I've tested right now are real. I'll go through my stack starting with stuff bought off the forum (not that I don't trust you all, I love y'all!). I'm extremly happy at the moment as this is a purchase I've been wanting to do for a while already 😁😊

Trust but verify

Yes, the only challenge is that the sigma pro (whilst more expensive) can pic up better on fakes as includes dimensions. I may do the same in future but through purchase of sigma pro. 
 

I heard a few of the Australian 1oz bars in plastic casings are getting so good it’s hard to tell them apart.

A lovely 1953 New Zealand Commemorative Proof Set.  Inaugural Portrait, fantastic Reverse designs and nicely presented.  
Sets don’t come much more satisfying to own than this.  My favourites are the Crown, Florin and Penny 😃

Royal Mint 2017 Silver Proof Collection

Mintage - 609.

I'm not entirely sure how I ended up collecting these sets, but at least they aren't as mindnumbingly boring as silver Maples or Phillies et al.

I prefer the wooden "Premium Proof" boxes for storage as opposed to the original shiny black boxes.  As yet I haven't landed the 2017 for this collection. Let me know if you know of one for sale.

My second set of such photos - down to about 10 minutes "arrangement" time now @TheShinyStuff. Donning and removing the gloves is a bit of a pisser.

Likely because they are lovely Sets to own 😀  And some of them are rarities.  You have some fantastic coin sets, keep up the good work 👍

Very nice, and well shot. How long did it take to get all the coins in position like that? It looks like the sort of job that would have me swearing like a trooper.

Agreed on both counts. Well done @PapaLazarou !

These 2021 Fiji Cats 1oz AG coins are rather nice. Beautifully finished and double sealed. 

Should make a lovely Christmas present for cat lovers ! 😅

Very nice, which mint makes them?

Native Cat's in the wild are very cool, but can't stand domestic cats. 

50c is the lowest face value I've ever seen on a 1 oz

It's a fairly low premium product, beautifully finished, well packaged and reasonably priced.

So definitely not the Royal Mint !  😂

Just got another fix of hand poured silver. Thank you @AtomicSilver

Lovely piece!

Nice three coin set from a secondary seller...arrived closed in good condition and a lowish number😁 give a quick check and put away ( dare not dig any deeper as we tend to find what we are looking for)

[KevjustKev]

May as well start with the 'cheap' one!

[AndrewSL76]

Nice old Carson City Morgan Dollar. Bought at the last @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Paid a small fortune for it but worth every penny.

 

[Heirlooms]

Another couple of coins to add to my Ghana collection. Just 2 more left. Great condition. Loads of history of military coups, government initiatives and monarchies told through the coin design. Very rare and ever been graded by NGC so I’ll be sending them off to be preserved 😊
