On my list of coins to get... at some point... one of the more expensive ones.

Have to say lack of the frost on reverse makes it very hard to make a perfect picture...

Took me good 1h with different lights to capture it to my satisfaction 

This is the final result

Insert better photo. I got a new phone camera and I am still experimenting with it.

Bermuda Silver Proof Flora & Fauna 1990-94 10 Coin Set

This was the first complete silver coin set that I ever collected. I have recently received an offer for this beautiful set, so I thought I'd post photos in case I decide to sell. The condition of this 925 silver is outstanding - no toning, milking etc after 30+ years. 

If anyone knows what a fair price is, that info would be much appreciated.

2005 Bermuda Kilo Silver 5 Sided Quincentennial Silver Proof $100 Hundred Dollars 

I thought this was an attractive coin, and design.

With selective gold plating.

A true historic South American treasure from Bolivia 🇧🇴

A beautiful Brazilian 1752 6400 Reis coin which spent 242 years on the ocean floor after a shipwreck just off the Southeast cost of South Africa was lost to the sea

The coin was owned by 'Clive of India' and was part of a large hoard of Portuguese and Brazilian Gold being transited to India 

The two divers that discovered the treasure became subject to a protracted legal dispute with the South African government who contested ownership of the hoard due to it being found in South African waters 

Eventually the two sides settled out of court with the South African Government receiving a third of the treasure. To Auronum's knowledge, this coin was one of the many that was retained by the salvagers

The coins surfaced in a US auction in 2000 where intense competition saw coins distributed to buyers the world over. A beautiful piece with a very rich history, ladies and gentlemen, we give you a stunning 'Clive of India' shipwreck Gold coin

 Some foreign funny money

[Auronum]

This piece is one of less than 5,000 of these South American gems released to the public

Official records show a further 15,000 issues are held by the Central Bank of Ecuador as part of their Gold reserves

Here is a fine example of a 1 Cóndor from Ecuador 🇪🇨

Showcasing a few Cuban Gold pesos coins

The veinte pesos is a large one-year type (1915) of 57,000 mintage. A very elusive piece that commands a high premium when seen

The diez pesos was minted over two-years and has around 1.2million pieces issued and is more frequently available than the larger veinte pesos

The cinco pesos was also a two-year type with all being .900 purity

The original 1 oz bullion coin

[Silverlocks]

Some experiments in getting better photos - I splashed out the princely sum of £15 or so on a camera tripod with a bluetooth remote dohickey to take the pictures.  Camera is a Samsung Note 10. Lighting consists of side lighting from my monitor and a desk lamp turned away with a sheet of paper taped to it to diffuse the light.  Very high tech.

Oak leaf and Chestnut leaf from the Germania Enchanted Forest series.

A few more -

Hildegard came out OK.

Maltese Knights not so good

And Fafnir came out pretty well.

And the 2020 and 2021 Germania, rotated differently.

This has grown to become probably my second favourite silver coin after my Libertad, 2010 Russian St George the Victorious 1 ounce.

You know, I think you've missed a trick with those cards.  You should get in touch with Nadir Refinery and see how much it would cost to get a batch of their custom 1g assay bars in printed cards made up with your branding.  I have no idea what the minimum order is - depending on how they print the cards it might be infeasibly large, or then again it might not.
