Today I want to show.....

[adamantio999]

This 2021 summer is ending (although it feels like here in UK never started). I've been able to make only two purchases during this period, which I am photographing and showing here. I believe that, with the new 2021 design, Britannias are a very cool choice.
Quarter Ounce on a budget, or Full Ounce?

The details in Victorian era coins are amazing. I'm often amazed at how a talented artist can pull detail and dimension out of a small essentially two dimensional medium.

Well, I didn't received the coin today but last week... chuffed to get a 2002 sovereign at last.

My eldest was born back in 2002 and as such this will be a small gesture from dad once she turns 21 😍 Ag & Au... now to complete the two for the next one...

Hello folks, my first post. I started out metal detecting, found my first Victorian silver thru-pence 7 years ago. Caught the bug.. @TheDoc introduced me to silver collector coins, bullion etc. My bank manager and I will never forgive him for it. 

Here is my stash of ten Irish presidential plates. Eight Eamonn DeValera(2500 issued) and Two Erskine Childers(1000 issued) All bought below spot too. 18oz of sterling silver. Lovely unique hallmark for these issues too. Gathered over lockdown, pubs closed so had to spend it on something.

No need to be excessively humble - that's not just a stack but a beautiful collection! What year are those Hungarian 10 (20?) koronas if I may ask?

They are 10 koronas, 1894 / 1904 / 1905 / 1910 / 1911.

Was planing to do a date run, but after i found out there are, i think 2 dates very rare and crazy expansive i canceled that idea. 🙂

Thanks, 10 koronas are really nice coins for a date run, although maybe a bit too small for me, I prefer a bit larger diameters

By the way, in my experience, their date runs are nowadays usually assembled without those rarest years 1895 and 1915 or those years are substituted by restrikes/replicas. The remaining 22 years can still be obtained, although several rarer years are more difficult to find in better grades - but that's part of the beauty of collecting a date run - it should never be too easy!

While definitely not anything special, these are the lowest premium I have been able to get since I recently started stacking. Getting more for my money makes me happy.

Hello everyone

Today I'd like to show you 1 oz of .999 silver coin with face value of 200 000 Polish Zloty from 1992. In 1995 there was redenomination of the currency so 200 000 became only 20 Polish Zloty (around 4 GBP). 

Very nice coin in my opinion.

20 Mark, Wilhelm II (German Empire)

I think I've never shown one of these on here...

One day, little tenth ounce, you will grow up to a full ounce.

If you buy 9 more and trad them in for an ouncer ... 🤣

 

Those golden Maple Leafs are stunning and the soft light shining on them makes them even more beautiful ! 👍

Thought I would show a couple lunars.. nice little 1/4 Oz AU year of the ox (in box) and 1oz year if the pig I picked up. May sell the year of the pig soon…

Over Xmas there was the most awful Geo-Political thread in the gold section which has now literally 'disappeared' (thankfully). I was going to put this photo on as a 'commercial' between the arguments, to remind ourselves why we are here.

Anyway from Mr Britannia himself I give you Silver, Gold and Platinum! and Merry Christmas.

The 2oz 10x proof QB set. 
Limited edition. Lovely gloss finish box.

So thought would show this coin. 
Anyone know what is? Date? Period? Queen? 
 

At moment my best educate thought is it’s a shilling with Queen. It’s pretty legible, I just can’t pick it. I though queen Elizabeth 1st? 1500’s? But have seen Elizabeth shillings and can read it, can’t this one. Something 12th … left side of date I suspect is scrubbed 

Thoughts?

I know right… but it’s taken me 2 hours and I am stuck on deciphering this coin… specially what the rest of writing means and date (in Latin). 

Edward 6th. 12 pence Shilling. ?!??

I’m not that educated in these coins but it definitely looks like the one you’ve found on that page.

did you buy the coin or find it metal detecting?

See the quick link “what I received today” I list a Horde of coins. Have a friend that has asked me to find out about them/price etc. I think based on this effort I may just give them a price! 😂
