Direct from matt (smithy bullion)in australia I'm not sure as I managed to source these in the uk. I'll be ordering some from him directly later in the year but with the covid situation we wanted to wait. I picked these up for £25 an oz delivered so not cheap but I think worth every penny 😁

Totally agree but my next hand poured purchase will be from BYB I think

[LiquidMetalsUK]

I already have an order in with BYB lol😁🤣

Received  these from Baird mint today, I’m not a collector and not a fan of Queen’s Beasts at all, only bought these Beasts because Baird Mint’s prices were really good, £74 premium for a 24 carat 1oz coin is not bad at all in this corona virus situation.

But what I am very impressed with is the Young head sovereign because I paid £348 for an ordinary Young head sovereign but they sent me a Melbourne Mint young head sovereign 🤩, so that’s a nice little surprise, I see chards are selling Melbourne Mint young heads for £534.

also I must thank @Blehhhh for Recommending   Baird Mint, their prices are really amazing.

And today i’ve received a low mintage (1500) piedfort 10oz Koala.

The success of the RAM's "Kangaroo at Sunset" heralded the arrival in 2012 of the hereunder "Kangaroo in the Starlit Outback".

Proof that stars are indeed created from cosmic dust.

One of my dream medallions. I'm so grateful to have finally got one.

Nice little delivery today

Nice morning of arts and crafts to try and fit the 45mm $5 Bahamas 1971 into a flip (max size 39.5mm) 😂 after about 2 hours and 20 flips later I have a (makeshift) solution but one that I can live with for now.

Whilst I don't normally chop up sets or collect BU coins, buying these coins circulated individually was so much more expensive than getting the whole set and the 4 silvers went in my world silvers folder, 2 animal coins went in my animal coins collection and the remaining 3 are offered for swap so there is little waste.

Been eyeing up these Bahamas coins for a while now and next seeking the 1966-1970 coins which are identical other than the obverse reading 'Bahama Islands' rather than 'Commonwealth of the Bahama Islands.' It's crazy to think that these coins were 'standard circulation' coins at least in theory, with the $5 containing 39g of pure silver- well over a Toz. It also features the then national motto for the Bahamas "Expulsis Piratis Restituta Commercia" ('Pirates Expelled; Commerce Restored') which I think is pretty cool.

These coins are absolutely stunning in design and minted at the Franklin Mint have an excellent finish. Even the non-silvers are fantastic coins.

Another country and 4 more coins added to the folder

Very happy although not sure the serial number is a lucky one🤔

Will find a second to match this if I keep

I often buy at Baird from their Hatton Garden showroom and have to say they have great prices and customer service

This coin was traveling the world since January and finally in my hands! Thank you @Numistacker for the service. 2019 proof Britannia along with her younger sisters.

I have been obsessed with finding a way to  get the right capsules for my piedfort pounds  bought loose. 

Managed to source Sovereign rings that fit Queens Beasts capsules. And love the way my mini hack worked!

Look almost 3D. 

Now to find the right box for them 😂

Thanks @StackSellRepeat stunning 10oz bar. As always first class service

Six coins came back from PCGS this week. I received the grades some time ago but PCGS closed shortly thereafter due to the US COVID-19 lock down and so understandably it’s taken a while for them to get to me. Lovely coins and some great results. 

The 2019 Prince Albert and Queen Victoria strike on the day sovereigns both came in at MS70. 
The 2019 proof sovereign was graded 70DCAM with the 2020 69DCAM.

The 50p shape of a nation 50p was graded 69DCAM. The lovely old 1900 Perth mint half sovereign was graded XF Details, you can’t win them all but still a lovely coin. 

[Bullionaire]

Finally got this bad boy through the post.

Is that a Mexico 20 Nuevos Pesos I spot?!

I have been looking for one of those for a while now! they don't come up too often.

Reason I'm so interested is that I believe it to be the LAST standard circulation world silver produced with production ceasing in 1995!

I've done a lot of research on this matter and although there are a few commemorative coins with silver content that were somewhat circulated probably after this date (such as the French 100 Francs, Italian 500 Lire and Mexican 100 pesos 2004), I think that this is the last coin intended for proper circulation with silver content produced globally

It is indeed 👍 I've been bidding on Ebay everytime I saw one but always went for way more than I intended to pay.

Then this one got offered to me so it was an easy yes to be able to add this to the ever growing Mexican collection 🤣 hopefully you will be able source one soon and I will keep my eyes open as well 

[UnoWho]

A massive thank you to @Numistacker for these (and more...): 

 

[UnoWho]

Many thanks to @TheCoinConnection for supplying a flawless coin and @Numistacker for facilitating the grading:
