@Cking83 Merry Octmas! 

I'm partial to an East India trade dollar or two myself! Are you keeping an eye out for the Japanese bullion version too? Any ideas who, what, when, where and why? 

Many thanks. Yes I suppose also a merry pre Brexit and prices change from Goldsilver.be too lol.

I saw the proof was out for the Japanese one on .be so Imagine it will be coming out on there as well. Not looked at the timings though.

Couldn't not share this little beauty which arrived from Portugal today for my personal collection. 

This coin is part of the 21 x 1,000 Escudo circulating, silver, commemorative coin range. It's also part of a wider "Ibero-American Series" in particular Series II - Endangered Wildlife. I have no interest in the other countries Ibero-American series (yet, anyway) but the other coins from this series from Portugal are some of my favourites.

It's quite rare compared to the others in the 1000 Escudo collection with a mintage of 70,000 versus 450,000 - 600,000 for the others. Most i've seen for sale over the past month or two for a reasonable price have been in pretty poor condition. This one isn't perfect, but picked it up within budget as i may (or may not have - depends who's asking!) picked up the other 20 in the collection from the same dealer. 

Only 0.500 silver but weighs in at 28g and 40mm in diameter.

*Disclaimer - yes i'm aware my scissor cutting skills are atrocious, yes it will annoy me every second of every minute of every hour of every day and yes i will be replacing it the minute i can get my hands on a colour printer!

Today I received a parcel that was so interesting, that it was opened on two continents by authorities:

South America 

 

and Europe

 

maybe because it was organic matter flown in from Colombia in a nice 2 kg block but it was actually just heavy literature 

 

luckily the coins that this heavy literature is referencing came well packaged on Monday, thanks to @Lr103 who I cannot thank enough for his assistance. 

Little sneak

 

For sovereign lovers this Syrian Libra (also used as reference in PCGS coin facts

 

and a very nice 1966 sovereign 

 

and an almost proof like 2 Rand

amongst many others...

[augur]

and a little @Spanishsilver arrived alongside with @arshimo2012‘s unbeatable bullion offerings

Today I welcome the 500g Umicore bar from @Bigchilli to my Umicore collection.

Only size missing now is the mega 5kg  bar but as much as it would be nice to have such a large bar I don't think they would be an easy sell due to the cost involved. Items above £500+ seem to slow down a lot around here and a 5kg bar would be £2800 so that's me done for the poured Umicores I think.

2p added for size comparison.

 

 They are highly addictive.

 Do it buy the next size up

Very nice! Great selection with the 5oz Monkey King! I just used MA-Shops recently as well for my purchase of a 2 Escudos. They offer some good selections, with a variety of dealers, at not outrageous prices. I would use them again.

Good going but yes you are right, now is where all the money is spent on them, the '92,'97&'98 are definitely the killer's

You are quite right. Without looking at my sheet I can't recall the premium on that one 👍

[LiquidMetalsUK]

This week's arrivals, probably last major buys of the year unless some great deals come along.

Couple of libertads, Canadian mounted police and white lions, tube of 2019 'roos, along with a second Krugerrand (Chard's best value 1Oz, my favourite kind of lucky dip!) and a 1/10 Nugget.

Pretty good stack building haul overall this year for a 2019 newbie, need to decide on my goals going forward now I've established a nice stack. 

[JohnA]

The cute little 3-pence has less wear than it's older brother, but it has been cleaned and not gradable.

The sixpence has nice tone and i need that variety. Maybe an AU-58.

man tons of lovely stuff by the members here!

Todays unboxing (assured my wife its the last this year, and for some reason she believed me. I dont even believe me 🤣)
