On a serious note, there might be some, we do tend to find them useful for our own storage though.

Some of the world silvers I received today. Particularly like the Australia shilling with great obverse toning - the camera doesn’t do it justice. 
 

Also some rare Norway coins. I am thinking of sending the 1912 krone for grading but am not great at guessing grades- what do you think it would get? (And would it be worth it?)

Such a shame about the holed 1887 krone turning a $150 coin into $10 ouch 😂

 

 

No idea on the grading, but its one of the nicest I have seen, I always enjoy your posts and you collect coins from around the era I like,  your picture of the Aussie one is quite helpful as I see quite a few of their silver WW2 era coins with that design and the animal side always looks pretty worn, (harder to tell from the GRVI side on a bad photo) but on your GRV the king looks very sharp but the otherside is the same as some others I have seen, was the reverse of these coins a little fuzzy even when freshly minted ?

I find grading circulated coins very hard and this is the first Krone I have had in hand so very hard to know what to compare it to! I do wonder why Norwegian silvers are so expensive compared to other coins with similar mintages. Thanks for the kind words about my photos- I love circulated world silvers.

It's interesting what you say about the Aussie coins- I had never noticed it before but looking through my collection you definitely have a point. At a guess I would say that the raised part of the coins is the kanagroo and emu either side of the shield (similar to the date part on the standing liberty quarters) so that part wears first, but looking at the numista photo for the animal reverse, there appears to be a distinct lack of detail compared with the obverse- particularly George V.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice coin, sent all the way from Greece, thank you @SVcollector.
A modern take on the Caballito.  Released in 1985 this 250 Pesos commemorates the 450th Anniversary of the Casa de Monéda and the at the time, the upcoming México 1986 Football World Cup.  It's a 1/4oz fine weight, gross weight 8.64grams .900 Gold and proof finish. I wasn’t expecting the plain edge. Nice coin.

4 "random" Peace Dollars from Apmex and also a 40% silver Ike. The condition, BU, seems legit.

I sent an email to Apex. 3 x 1923 and 1922 are the most common. So it's not like they close their eyes and pick from a bin. Unless the bin is full of these.

🤣Thanks for reminding me, last I heard  "we will let you know tomorrow," ( she never let me know, ) now 2 weeks later I am still on hold on the phone right now and she goes "ya, I will let you know because that would be bad if we lost it or something,"

I go " your telling me, "

She then says "you can try back next week," .... I said "no I'll just keep holding I want a conformation weather or not you lost it today." 🤪

Been on for 30 minutes, kinda sketchy, I'll let ya know if she finds my gold.

Ok just got off she said " ok we found it in a different warehouse but we don't think we have access.." then said I might want to cancel it because she doens't know how long it will be.

Happy saturday. Nice chunk of silver today. Thanks @shawy2510 true gent 

[GoldElliott]

Been waiting on flips for a few days now so had a pile of smaller silvers ready for 22.5mm flips.

There's a little bit of everything here, some nice Russian and Bulgarian coins including an almost proof looking 1913 50 Stotinki.

Some pre-German empire coins and the strangest and most precise silver quantity coin I own! A .4375 silver content Austrian Kreuzer!

A very nice KGV Australia 6 Pence with very strong detail on both reverse and obverse and some nice toning to it !@SILVERFINGER

A couple of Billon coins (I still count these as silver) Inc a 5 rappen 1873.

And my favourite... and quite topical at the moment coin 😂- a 1915 1 Korona HUNGARY (just noticed not Austria!) coin with stunning rainbow toning. Very hard to capture the extent of this beautiful obverse toning, but although the condition isn't amazing, the toning makes this coin very beautiful to look at.

Beautiful toning- Gold coins are all well and good but when you see a coin like this it makes me rethink what I should be Really collecting.  Thanks for sharing.

Another 5 Queen's Beasts arrived today, as well as a case to keep them in. 

Got some doublers now, but they can be used for handling.

Now waiting for the 'White Greyhound of Richmond' to complete the set.

I think gold coins are much better looking than silver coins, but I dont think many people can build up such an extensive collection of gold coins (I certainly can't). To put it in perspective, that Korona cost me about 40p in a huge job lot of silver coins I bought- I know that's a good price for it, but personally I get more pleasure as a collector having lots of silver coins with a hundred plus years of history and culture, having survived wars, famines, genocides etc. than 1/10oz gold mass produced and minted in 2000 something.

I do also collect gold coins, but my favourites are and always will be the world silvers

Crikey your collection is far bigger than mine, some stonking coins there I had another come today so will try and remember to dig them all out for a group shot.

Just started started collecting South African coins and received these from @GoldElliott today. 
 

Very happy with them! It may not be a lot but it’s a start 😅

[adamthetaller]

Some very fancy coins today, 4 of the 5 Eternal Sculptures from PowerCoin - just waiting for the final one to be released in a month or so to complete the set.

[Tattoedamat]
