Also received today a gift from a very good YouTube friend from the states.
2018 1oz .999 silver domed proof Dia De Los Muertos ( day of the dead ).
Mintage of 1000

ITS A CRACKER STACKER !!!!!!

This is an 1871 shield back sovereign (Die No.12) salvaged from the wreck of the R.M.S. Douro.  Following a collision, the Douro sank on the 1st April 1882.
I would not normally buy a “Details” coin, but given it has been to the bottom of the sea for over a hundred years, I think a few scratches are quite acceptable – I was buying the history.  And if it was good enough for the Bentley collection...



 

MY FIRST EVER PURCHASE ON THE FORUM, IM MORE OF A VINTAGE ARTBAR/COIN COLLECTOR BUT THIS BEAUTY I HAD TO HAVE.
 1995 ROYAL MINT BENEDETTO PISTRUCCI PORTRAYING THREE GOLD SOVEREIGNS 😋
A BIG THANKS TO @ilovesilverireallydo FOR MAKING MY FIRST PURCHASE ON THE FORUM  A DELIGHT 🍻
 
 

What a coin.... 🤗😍
1853 Proof, nothing much more to say but wow! 
I suspect many don't even know this rarity even exists, very very few in existence now. 
Pictures (especially from phone) don't do it any justice, so I will do a 4k video at some point so others can enjoy it

 

Here's a very cool 1kg silver medal, one of my favorite, the 1980 golden monkey stamp is very well loved in China.

Another buy from the london coin fair very nice coin dont mind telling peeps the price so you all khow prices from there most stalls are expensive but if you look around the is good deals i paid £255 for this of Andreas stall i did spend £2300 with him so he did it for that. Nice bloke 

Very much an impulse buy as I walked passed a pawnshop where they had this beauty in the window and couldn’t resist buying my first 1 kg coin!
Buying on impulse is usually a bad idea, but for less then GBP 500..?

My local coin dealer sourced this little bit of shiny goodness. An 1823 George IV £2, most pleased😁

Will you get it conserved by NCS first before grading?
It appears some idiot has drawn on it with a marker pen 😋

All received today, @Stacknsave had some delays which is understandable. Very much appreciated, big thanks to him and @Bullionbilly for putting the draw together and following up for me.
