Today I Received.....

[SILVERFINGER]

Managed to get hold of probably my most favourite coin design of any coin in the era I am collecting, the Hungarian 2 Pengo made from .640 silver this one 1938 dated.
I love the angels flying carrying the Hungarian crown onto its shield and the Mary and Jesus on the other side. 
This coin was made from 1929 to 1939, some years in between it wasn't produced and other years extremely low production, 1938 was the most common year of production with 6,417,000 minted, though not many have survived and of those most are not in great condition, I have read that this could be due to the Hungarians melting lots of precious metal coins down to use to buy weapons from the axis nations as they could not produce enough for themselves during the war, or the Soviets taking control of the country and replacing it with their own currency post war.
The Pengo series of coins had a really short life of around 20 years, it replaced the Korona after WW1 that was being used by the joint Austro-Hungarian empire, these two country's being split by the allies after WW1 into two separate countries, then after WW2, there was hyperinflation and the coin was hugely devalued and replaced by the Florint.
Hungary stopped using silver in its coins when WW2 started in 1939, and cheaper metals and eventually notes replaced the larger denominations.

Its not a huge coin, about the size of a modern UK 50p, but its far thicker.

Oh wow can I ask where did you get the 20oz bar from as they are slightly hard to come by here in the UK. 

[swirl]

I got my coins from the first Coins of the Realm auction. (Sorry if the pictures aren't the best, they are just some quick handheld shots before I forget to take any pictures at all.)

My first proof coin and the smallest gold coin yet, a proof quarter sovereign from 2012. I like the look of the coin, but it is so tiny... We'll see if the coin and I get to be friends...

I also got an old italian 10 Lira coin from 1863 showing King Vittorio Emanuele II. It is made from .900 Gold and weighs 3.3358g according to the auction catalog, 3.2258g according to Numista (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces18756.html) and 3.20g according to my scales.

And i got a third coin that I won't show you as it isn't the coin I was supposed to get. It is a different year and I can't find the coin in the auction at all. I'll wait and see what the auction house will say.

But I got some gold which I'm not unhappy with.

Holding a well milled and etched block of metal is one of life's little pleasures!  It doesn't always have to be PMs.   Have you come across World Rare Metals Mint?  https://www.rwmmint.com I've got my eye on an ingor of Cobalt... just for the hell of it!. 

Totally agree, it is a lovely chunk of metal to hold. I think I will aim to complete the Agosi set, maybe even the Silver too (unfortunately the Gold is way beyond my means!) Once I have that I'll look into https://www.rwmmint.com. Enjoy your Cobalt! 

Just had a thought- I wonder if any TSF members safes would click open with the combination 47-79-78!!! Great username😀

Not PM by any stretch of the imagination, but very nice all the same. A bit of an impulse buy and way too expensive, but I suppose that's how it goes sometimes. 

They also do brass, copper, aluminium and titanium (which is crazy expensive).

Any thoughts - other than it being a relative waste of money that is!

Cheers.

Not something I'd put money into but it's a nice looking lump of metal

another one would be the atomic weight instead of number, making it 108Ag197Au195Pt

Although the actual numbers have to be rounded up.
