I love birds - so this lovely set of Belize coins from @CoinCupboard is perfect.

It is fifty years old and in fantastic condition.

2024 Six Decades of 007 - 1990s - 1/4oz gold and 2oz silver proofs

Unfortunately, the second set of James Bond coins that came this week, the 1990s, were not in acceptable condition, and I will return.

1/4oz Gold

Mixture of very visible contact marks, big flaws in the fields, and oily residue.

2oz Silver

This is a bit more borderline.  It's basically missing frosting that's the problem, but there's a lot of it.  If this was the only one to return, I might keep it.  Doesn't seem to be anything else wrong with it.

That's some great macro right there. Pity the coin is scuffed. I'll take it off you for a quid

We had the warning in 2006-9 but central banks ignored it and just added new worthless debt to existing worthless debt to create worthless debt squared – an obvious recipe for disaster. - Egon von Greyerz

Elephant and Roo Addenda
 
The 1/10 2024 Somalia Elephant is the 9th overpriced member of the series.
 
Also making an overdue appearance was my 71st RAM silver 1oz $1 Skippy - the 1999 Y2K Privy, a coin of which I was totally unaware until last year. I'm unconvinced that this version is officially recognized by the RAM, but the price from Germany was friendly. Only two members of the official set were minted with a privy, the "F15" and "25", both in 2018, the Roo's 25th anniversary.
 
The 2010 Somalia Heffer "Mule" has the 2009 reverse and was swiftly replaced with the new/correct 2010 motif by the Bavarian State Mint.
 
My appreciation to rumrunner @arphethean for arranging the delivery from Germany.
