Got these in dribs and drabs either side of payday, so waited until all here to show. 

Went for the carded Sovs in the end (being Jubilee year) and inspired by the recently discussed world run of 1/10 gold's, I couldn't resist the Royal Arms. Think Unicorny 🤷! A bit of fun, very cute but they are so so small. They are affordable however, and seem popular, so might see where the collection goes. 

Thanks👊

Very nice my friend, welcome to the 1/10th club ❤️. Good luck with it!

Never asked for a replacement, just called to let them know, that both Gothic coins came with open capsules and some other capsules ain't closing. Today i received two new capsules by the mint. Didn't expect that, very nice👍

Also, after a couple of years, the 18th issue of the Greek Culture 10€ series, Xenophon. As always a very nice, perfect proof coin by Athens Mint. 

From Perth Mint the 2022 Koala. Lovely design after many years of almost same looking Koala coins. And Tuvaluan 2021 Sunny Ottifant, i guess only german speaking people remember Otto Waalkes. German comedian with quiet a special humor. Second of his coins by the Perth Mint.

Oh my day's..... It was hard to get just 10 different single ones. You have started along a long and frustrating path but. Hats off to you and I bid you enormous good luck lol😂

And for my daughter's stack a 2022 Dusky Dolphin by the Royal Australian Mint. Lovely coin.

Are you looking for 10 different countries or just 10 different designs?

I quite like it. The above post was my first Sovereign purchase ever. Always went for 24ct for no real reason. 

I will be getting more in the future.

An ounce of tenths is actually quite satisfying and with a bit of flexibility on design's instead of country would be more beneficial if you're looking at acquiring 30 of them.

To be fair, I used 1oz silver as a way to get a huge (well, not huge exactly!) selection of coins, I have a few different 1oz gold's (keeping within my own 3 rule) but this could be the happy medium for a larger variety within my Au stack🤷. Was still aiming to get the Tudor Beasts 1/4s x3 so I'll have fingers in pies all over the place!! So I think I'll just take my time with these, although I do seem to have trouble taking my time🤔.

Now, didn't I see an elephant for sale......

In 2015 the Royal Mint continued a long established trend of giving silver coins to children born in the same year as a royal birth. 

 

Precisely 2015 "lucky" families were presented with a silver penny presentation set, this consisting of a Brilliant Uncirculated silver 1p coin mounted in a comparatively gargantuan picture frame. The entire unholy caboodle was presented in a RM sarcophagus of megalithic proportions.

 

The obverse shows the 4th Portrait of HRH and the reverse is the current shield section.

 

In another display of RM's increasingly tenuous grasp of reality, the CoA - attached to the back of the frame - advises on how to treat proof coins and bangs on tangentially about the Trial of the Pyx. Big yourself up, why don't you?

 

Other than it's rarity and absurdity value this bizarre offering is of zero interest to me. There are many who collect silver pennies nowadays and I had previously never seen this BU specimen offered anywhere ever. Maybe your next quarry,@richatthecroft?

 

If you are interested in buying this numismatic folly please get in touch. Postage will be enormous or collection by JCB can be arranged. 

 

The silver proof £2 Technology coin was not included and is shown merely by way of ridicule.

Und für den Stack meiner Tochter einen 2022 Dusky Dolphin von der Royal Australian Mint. Schöne Münze. 

Mir gefällt die Delfin Serie auch sehr gut, mein Dusky trudelt am Dienstag ein, mit anderen schönen Sachen.

I always enjoy the poetic contempt of your posts @PapaLazarou, but you have outdone yourself here. Hats off to you. Laughed out loud a couple of times.

I dont want the coin, but out of interest whats the going rate for this folly?

[lst65]

Got to love Perth Mint coins…

I also like these. I bought the first 2, then stopped, not sure why, but will hopefully catch up at some point. These have slipped under the radar a bit I think, but deserve more recognition.
