Today I Received.....

[CoinStruck]

Thought I would add this recent purchase. It’s the 2oz 2020 Kruger proof. Apparently the first year of the 2oz coin. 
 

I also bought some light reading. Yes it’s about sovereigns!

I love the 2oz SP Krug. It was not what I was expecting when I received mine. I thought it would be double thickness. It's like a dinner plate this one! I love it.

The holder is scratched, so I'm getting get it in a Great Britain holder.

I think the G. Britain coin is only for 1955 and later.

Great coin btw! 🧐

A couple of 100gram silver Unimet bars arrived in the post today. Also, my first gold purchase of the year as well as my first 1/10oz coin, a 1989 Isle of Man Angel from my local bullion dealer in the high street.

I have repatriated this 15th century treasure back to the UK from a superb US seller. The photos don’t do it any justice, its absolutely stunning and I’m very pleased!

For those interested, it is an Edward IV Gold Ryal or also called Rose Noble only minted between 1464 and 1470 and the year in that period identifiable by the mint mark in the legend, which on mine is a little difficult to ID but its a Long Cross Fitchée, if in any doubt (see the close up) there were no other crosses used in the period they were minted. This mark puts it as minted between 1469-1470, making it even rarer, only just before Henry VI was restored to the throne. On edwards second reign the mint started producing Angles which are entirely different design. The coin was minted in London, identifiable as no letter in the waves beneath the rose / kings vessel.

7.61grams of gold and approximately 35mm in diameter.

Side note: The coin was also imitated on the continent in the mint of Gorinchem for around 100yrs after this date (and also thought during Edwards exile in Belgium), these are often referred to as a “Flemish Ryal”.  Identifiable if put alongside each an original, one difference being the continental copy is often slightly larger in diameter.

NB, if anyone is wondering what the lump of dirty metal is in some of the photos, its an original brass coin weight for the Ryal that I was able to pick up from someone that had found it in the Thames mud. It was only a few pounds but I though makes a nice collection.

hope you like as much as me 😁

One baby step at a time, but we're getting there slowly but steadily. Glad with the Dutch gold 10 Guilders from 1932 I've received today, especially knowing I bought it slightly under spot. 😂

Managed to pick this up to sit alongside my 2017 PF70...

Oh, that's sad. Some older coins would look good in special holders.

I just went to my local dealer. He was able to get the GB holder ordered. I suppose @Numistacker could also get it done.

I will post a new photo in a few weeks when I get it back.

Some birds from sunny California, big thanks to @ShaolinStacker and rusty little mouse.

Who said that Americans can't offer good trade deal?)))

Picked up this well loved Cyprus Half Sovereign. It’s a low mintage coin that was issued as the first independent gold coin after British left.

Congrats on the pickup! Looks to be an excellent addition to your collection!😃

1939 Proof Victoria Shield - PR62 (en medaille) - It is believed that the coins stuck in medal alignment match the Una and lion and therefore are from the coronation set.

This coin is undergraded in my opinion, I've got another PR62 that is nowhere near as nice as this, and seen other that are verging on "manky" and still got a PR62. It was obviously graded some time ago due to the old label

Thanks to eBay's GSP being horrendous at getting stuff sent to me in the UK from the USA, I now stick with sellers who send stuff out with trusted carriers if I'm buying from the US, and decided to order some coins direct from APMEX on the 17th earlier this month - just arrived today...

 You can't go wrong with some constitutional silver!

Some quite interesting things were found in the roll of walkers too, including a well-worn but nowhere near cull (I'd grade it as being G) 1917-P, and a very shiny (possibly High-XF/Low-AU) 1942-P! I also found a dateless Type II SLQ (1917 - 1924) in the Washington Quarter roll.

All in all, not a bad haul if you ask me! Even though I'm much further afield than the majority of APMEX's customer base, I've never had a bad experience ordering from there!

are those marks on the obverse field? they don't like marks on the fields, seemingly regarding this aspect far more important than any scuffing/wear on the design.

My first Gold pieces arrived just now. Small but perfectly formed.
I really don’t know how @morezone does it…..got these over to me within 24h!

A couple of beauties. I picked up the Panda today from The Coin Cabinet and couldn’t resist asking about the 2001 Proof whilst I was there. What an absolute gentleman Andreas is. I cannot recommend them more.

Will you try for better grade? Send it to NGC?

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Some Ottoman era coins. Shame about the holes but most found tend to have them. These are from the 1800s. 
20ct roughly. 

[Augustus1]
