This arrived today after what seemed an age in royal snails hands,

Its a Uruguay 20 Centismos coin made in 1942 out of .720 silver.
This coin was minted one year only in 1942 along with a 1 Peso silver coin, 18 million were minted at the Santiago mint, so not a rare coin nor expensive, but I hardly ever see them for sale here in the UK, and most look to have had a hard life.

Won three other coins in auctions which I am waiting for, lost six auctions (have a strict budget) and currently bidding on five more.

Quite a small coin, the size of a UK Sixpence, as always the pics dont show the lustre on the coin that you see in the hand.
 

lovely coin and you're right Uruguay silver is quite scarce here. They had a strange relationship with silver coinage and more or less stopped using silver in the production of circulating coins in 1895, issuing only a couple of silver coins in a few years since then.

Now that's how you increase your stack in one fell swoop!....what a delivery!

Either that or you've started group orders on the side 🤣

Stunning lot @Troy77  👍🏻

My apologies for the slight overkill on the photos, but I just couldn't resist to share what I have found in a lovely package earlier today.

As the premiums on the regular bullion coins are too high for me (and pretty much everybody else... ), I decided to go for some collectible silver coins, which are all 1 oz silver coins but one.

In that sense, I have grown quite fond of the Tokelau designs, with the Terra 2020 (photo 1), Vivat Humanitas 2020 (2), Equilibrium 2019 (3), and the Chronos series of 2017, 2018, and 2019 (4 & 5).

From other countries/mints, I have gotten the Nikola Tesla series of 2018, 2019, and 2020 (6, 7 & 8), the Redback Spider 2020 (9), the Rectangle Dragon (10), the Laos Panthera Tiger (11), and finally the 10 oz Royal Arms 2020.

Wow......absolutely stunning! 

Scottsdale without doubt produce the best looking cast bars. I just wish they were easier to come by in the UK!

I need one (but ideally 5 ha!) of these 20 ouncers n my stack, plus two or three more of the 10oz versions too!  👍🏻

Lovely double florin from @AgD this morning. thanks  

Took me a while to work out where it should go in the folder- HC is 2s6d and a crown is 5s so I figured it goes between them as its 4s?

Well got a new case today from Kay at master coin cases to go with the one I bought from Shaun here on the silver forum  well chuffed just need to fill them lol 

These look great. Something caught my eye though, it's the very small tags stick onto the capsules. What are they and are they any good? I've been looking for something similar for my own records but haven't found anything as small and tidy as yours.

[shawy2510]

Won this date run of lovely condition Netherlands 25 Cents .640 silver coins, I only wanted one example of this coin but I won all of these for a very low bid, going to keep one (1940) and sell the other two (of which my boss wants first dibs next time I see her).
1941 was the last year that the Netherlands minted their own silver coins when the nazis invaded and stripped the country of anything of value, after this date the only silver Dutch coins were minted by various mints in the USA.

Production figures for the three coins are as follows

1939,  4,000,000
1940,  9,000,000
1941,  40,000,000

They are nice but I do not know the history of them (cleaned/dipped etc) and it would cost more to slab them than they would be worth
