Havent heard that brand for donkeys!!!

Hey! They do still exist with a mighty 1% market share! I can't stand a touch screen. The modern BlackBerry's are actually very good- full Android with touch screen and physical keyboard, basically just a Samsung wth a keyboard!

A Nikon D3300 with a Sigma Macro lens... Camera's pretty much entry level DSLR and the lens is a recent bargain addition I'm getting to grips with.

Some phone camera's are phenomenal nowadays (if you want what the presets give you) but I'm not too sure about a Blackberry! 🤣

Either way it looks amazing. My fiance has the latest iPhone- I forget what number theyre on but that has an incredible camera (3 actually) especially on portrait mode. If you see any of my sales posts with nice sharp photos just know I've borrowed hers

This is my first one and I'm delighted with it. They have really nice designs but I don't seem to come across them much especially in job lots. definitely want this one next- looks like a libertad design!

My second PM purchase and first coins. Thanks @UnoWho . I tried to exercise some discipline and wait at least a month between buys, but I couldn't help myself

Alas, it's only a temporary situation. I've saved up quite a lot of cash over a long period and it only recently occurred to me that I'm not going to be spending it any time soon and it's best not to hold a wasting asset like cash. Now I'm converting that into actual assets and trying not to do it all in one go. There are worse situations to be in.

Those Big Five's are very impressive.  Excellent art work!

[RacerCool]

Now I'll amaze you all with the absolute best coinage photography you've ever seen.  I call it "abstract coin art".  New York's Museum of Modern Art called me and they're interested.

So I've been slowly completing the stack/collection of Mexican Onzas/Libertads, and added a 1991, '92, '93, and '94.  A '95 is on the way. The goal is to have one from every year they've been minted. A couple of these have some tarnishing.  By contrast that the '93 has a slight smudge area but otherwise is amazing to look at. The detail and consistent satin finish is wonderful. The camera doesn't do it justice at all.  (They're all pretty nice, really)

Also added yet another 5 peso gold coin, and yet another roll of BU dimes.

(sorry guys, I simply cannot photograph coins to save my life.  I actually blame all of it on the camera, and the sun, and the room, and whatever else besides myself)

All the way from Belgium🤯 it's been a long day. If they were coming from Estonia they won't leave for 3 weeks 😁 been waiting for ages for my 2oz Kookaburras.

[CadmiumGreen]

Received these wonderful 2020 1 oz The Silver Forum bars (#92, #94) from @BackyardBullion! Excellent addition to the annual series!

 

Also, the seventh of eight in the Chia Re-strike series! Here are five handsome 2020 China 1 oz Silver Twin Dragon Dollar Restrike (PU)...

Also, an added Wedge-Tailed Eagle to the Australia WTE collection with this lovely 2015 1 oz Silver Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle High Relief Proof! (The coin is in pristine condition, with the capsule being scuffed)

 

 

And a bit of US space history received! A 

1988 Gold Space Shuttle-America in Space Young Astronaut Medal (0.24187 oz Gold).

Congress approved legislation authorizing this medal; the bill was signed by President Reagan on March 12, 1986, becoming Public Law 99-295. The authorizing law specified that 10 percent of the revenue from sales was to go to the Young Astronaut Council's annual budget. The medals' obverse design was chosen from more than 17,000 entries submitted by YAC student members from across the country. Designed by Brian Kachel, then 12, of Jersey City, N.J., it features a space shuttle in flight. The design was sculptured by Mint sculptor-engraver Chester Y. Martin. The obverse design incorporates the inscriptions LIBERTY and the year 1988. The reverse, designed by Robert Ahlcrona, features a right-facing eagle, with its wings spread, perched on top of the Young Astronauts Program logo surrounded by stars. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and YOUNG ASTRONAUTS are incorporated into the design.

 

Lastly, not a PM, but what should be a must for any Sovereign lover! A Royal Mint Gold Sovereign paperweight! This one is a 1984 dated Sovereign!

[MikeG1978]

Postie delivered these today from Eldorado Coins.

[SILVERFINGER]

Well the last of my auction wins arrived today, need to place some more bids on stuff that's ending tomorrow.

Got these two .500 silver shillings, a 1939 dated Scottish and a 1945 dated English versions, production of each type for these years are as follows,

1939 dated Scottish  10,263,800 minted
1945 dated English    15,143,400 minted

 

 

 

And these two, there its lots of lustre on both of these but its hard to show in the pics, and the tiny 10 Cent coin you can see all the tiny stress cracks from when it was made when its highly magnified.

These were bargain wins, with both for under £5

These are United States of America Philippines 1944 dated .750 silver coins, pre 1941 dated coins are harder to come by as nearly all were dumped into the sea to stop the Japanese getting hold of silver and other useful metals that they were seriously short of when they invaded the Philippines , so any found are usually in bad condition from being under the sea, with the islands being retaken by the USA in 1944, production was restarted to equip the country with currency again, the coins be produced by the Denver Mint, production for the two denominations are as follows,

1944 dated 10 Centavos    31,592,000 minted
1944 dated 20 Centavos   28,596,000 minted
