Today I Received.....

[MaxeBaumann]

I also recently received these well-made medals, issued by the Intaglio Mint USA, theme: Western Legends.
If we don't read each other again, I wish all forum members a healthy and peaceful Christmas.

Greetings from Maxe

Here is the common other side.

After a massive backlog with mail, finally got my hands on a few parcels that I've been waiting on. Got a few feedbacks to leave soon as I get the chance.

Today I received these awesome pours by 🔥@ApolloMetalworx

And also many thanks for grabbing this limited run Emptyo bar for me as I would have missed it.

[JamFirstCreamOnTop]

Quarter ounce proof Bowie.

 

And Her Majesty on the Obverse.

 

It is not perfect (on either side) however I don't consider it to be bad enough to send back. I was of course disappointed when I opened it and had a look through the 10x loupe and I would certainly like to meet some of the QC team when I visit the mint next year. Anyway a PF70 it isn't.

Many thanks to @rob6for my Christmas draw coins. Lovely pieces, and perhaps the start of a silver collection for me? 😁

[Artictim]

This little cutie has proved a little elusive in a perfect 70 at a reasonable price. Arrived just in time for Crimbo👍👍

And an epic Americas most wanted art bar

I think that stars/stripes bar is fantastic! I will be on the lookout for a 1oz silver bar with a nice design on it, I have a 007 bar in 1oz flavour however coins are more my thing, I got the 007 because in my opinion it is a nice collector piece 👍

I featured the 1oz version on Monday.  And it's lovely!!!! I agree completely.  The 10 oz shows the details much better. Both of those are having quality problems but mainly if your very picky. A rare few the problems are very noticeable

2008 RAM 1oz Silver Proof " Reg Mombassa" Kangaroo

 

Struck by the Royal Australian Mint, this was the second in the highly successful "Artists" series of 2007-09.

 

"Well-known" and "legendary" Reg Mombassa has been best known in Australia for a multitude of art works and styles as well as music. His art work has graced the Mambo Graphics clothing series, music recording covers, books, calendars and  he has even had the honour of painting one of Melbourne's historic trams. Reg was also extremely famous for his musical skills as co-founder and guitarist in the band Mental As Anything. 

 

Oh, really? Personally I had never heard of him prior to this coin and have had zero intention of ever learning anything more, even based on this alluring CV.

 

"Shining through on this coin is Reg's typical Aussie larikin sense of humour for which he is so well known." Righty-ho, thanks for clearing that up. All well and good if you're an Ozzie, but a load of irrelevant tosh if you're not.

 

Regardless of the sycophantic gushings of the RAM, I really like this rather endearing fellow and it proved to be extremely popular with collectors too, the full mintage of 7,500 selling out very swiftly. Of all the proof Skippies. this version has proved the best "investment" and is still highly sought after - as, indeed, are the both its FrUnc and gilded counterparts.

 

Huge thanks to @CadmiumGreenfor his invaluable assistance in delivering this.

That seems rather unfair!  Looking at his picture I am sure he would have made a very fine, valued and loved BBC children's TV presenter in the 70s or 80s

These just arrived, all beautiful.

2020 limited edition silver proof and a 2020 v75 in pr70uc and the rarer blue label.

I wasn’t quite sure where to go next after my initial foray into historic sets and to follow on from my purchase of the 1902 Edward VII Matte Proof Set.  
Decided on this beautifully preserved 1911 George V Proof Coronation Set- a tiny 952 10 Coin ‘short’ sets were issued.

Once again, thank you to @Elements @Roy & @SilverMike who helped me decide 😀

I hope so.  
Some trepidation prior to purchasing- I had to shed some weight in Gold to help purchase- but the Set in hand has far exceeded my expectations and the verbal appraisal of the vendor- the hi-resolution photographs supplied prior to purchasing didn’t do the set justice.
 I think it will be a worthy investment in years to come. 😃
