    This is my latest pick up a Netherlands 10 Gulden made in 1933 from .900 gold, this version of the 10 Gulden came out in 1925 and featured the final mature Queen Wilhelmina portrait, it was only made in low mintages in 1925, 1926, 1927, 1932 and finally 1933 which was also the last year of circulating gold coins in the Netherlands.
    The coin is a similar size and weight to a full British sovereign.
    Mintage for the year 1933 was 2,462,101
    Bought the coin from Bullion By Post as a Christmas present to myself and they were superb, they got a selection out of the best condition coins they had and photographed them for me to pick one, and had it delivered to me the next day, all the dealers I contacted on here couldn't even be bothered to get back to me.
    Pics don't do justice to all the original mint lustre still present.

    Here is my meager stack of SAO and CML bars, now sold exclusively as ALBION by Silvertrader, guarded by a 1925 Walther Model 8 pistol .25 acp, this was the pistol of choice of the notorious Dr Joesph Goebbels and was alledgedly used by him to end his and his wifes life at the end of WW2, the gun was a pre-cursor of the famous PP and PPK models and had several new for the time features that would be used in all later Walthers.

    This arrived today, 1937 dated Austrian 2 Schilling, made from .640 silver, Austria released circulating commemorative coins each year, this one was celebrating 200 years since the building of their main church St Karl, 1937 was the last year Austria made silver coins of their own, the Third Reich invading and confiscated their coinage replacing it with their own in 1938.
    Made one year only, and 500,000 minted.
    The coin I could tell was a bit of a diamond in the rough, it had been kept in a PVC slip for decades, which had turned it into the incredible Hulk, it was dirty and had unattractive toning and probably one reason I got it so cheaply, so I decided this one I would use some MS70 coin cleaner on and it brought it back to life a treat.
     
    As bought


     
    Half cleaned
     


     
     
    And completed, very happy with it, can see all the original lustre now

    Got this as one of my Christmas presents, a British 1937 dated coronation 1 crown, minted from .500 silver.
    This coin was last crown to be made of silver in the UK, and was brought out to commemorate the coronation of king George VI in 1937, it was made for one year only, with only 418,600 made.
    A very large coin, you would certainly know about it with a few of these in your pockets back then.
    Surprisingly this coin is still legal tender in the UK, having been revalued at 25p, though they are worth quite a bit more than this now, pics dont do it justice and the coin has most of its original mint lustre remaining.

    It’s been a big week this week receiving the 1887 proof half and 2021 proof sovereign shown in earlier posts.
    The last two coins for this week are a 1923 Melbourne sovereign and a 1909 Melbourne half sovereign.
    i bought the sovereign from a Queensland based auction house. Lovely coin with a 511,129 mintage that year. 
    The Melbourne half sovereign came from an eBay auction. Condition is a bit worn but it was a circulation coin. I keep a lookout for Australian half sovereigns as the mintage levels were usually low and the coins were used as money and many melted when too worn. For example the mintage for the 1909 Melbourne half sovereign was 186,094 versus over 3 million for the 1909 Melbourne full sovereign.

    Received the 2021 sovereign from the Royal Mint this week. It took a while as I understand the RM need to restock packaging for the coin.
    Well worth the wait. It has the QC “quality control” sticker and the coin looks great. Nice privy mark on the reverse.
