For information Goldsilver.be has really good prices : 49,85 Euros

Here is the rarest 1/4oz Krugerrand. Mintage... 60 
In 1980, the SA mint intoduced the first fractionnal coins and only 60 "VIP sets" were minted with three fractionnals proof  coins (1/10, 1/4 and 1/2 oz)
Not perfect, but I have been really lucky to get this one at a good price. It seems that there is just 2 or 3coins graded  with PGCS  and  NGC 

I have had the opportunity to grab this Tiffany Art coin from a LCS at a screaming low low low price that I could not miss it !
This is the 2011 "Manueline" . An architectural and decorative style which developed in Portugal in the late XVth and early XVIIth centuries. and which associates traditional Gothic structures with Romanesque, Moorish or Oriental inspired ornamental sculptures.
The coin is not as impressive as the 2019 Khmer (not the same advanced minting technologie) but still really beautiful.
This coin sells around 800£/1000£ on ebay. I got it for the tenth of these prices

Thank you, this is not a special secret, but I have PM you

I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.
I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...
I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 
I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it
Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️  
 

New elusive Zhao Yun coin,  first coin in a serie. Mintage 500 for the Chinese market. According to Powercoin, only 10/15% for the rest of the world. I have been lucky on this one at the (already so high), introductory price
 

Samurai antiqued 2oz. 1st in the new serie "Warriors"
Very beautiful, on par with the "Gods" serie quality, but at half the price for the moment. A winner hopefully 


 
 

Beautiful Napoleon III  50 francs - Paris 1862 . Not really expensive considering the mintage (24418)

Yes, the relief and details are awesome and reinforce the feeling of "presence ". Really a piece of art

I received today the long awaited "Hephaestus" , third coin in the "Gods" serie from mint of Poland 

It will be the black tortoise.
They represent the four mythological chinese symbols.

Yes read limited with quotation marks 😂

The 2017 is a "Premium Uncirculated" and I would say it has a nearly reverse proof finish and this is a beautiful coin. The 2018/2019 (I have some 2018) are pure bullion with unlimited mintage  and their finish has nothing to do with the 2017. Moreover, the 2017 has a "limited" mintage of... 1000000, though I have read that this mintage has been reduced to 630000...I have the 2017 for the pleasure to have it, but unless you get it at a "reasonable price", it will not be a coin to flip for a long time

The beautiful Una and the Lion

 
I have tried to take new shots today with a better light in order to highlight the quintessence of this beauty
I have a special feeling with this coin  

 

Thank you 
This is a pleasure to share

My 6 coin gold proof set Britannia 2014 is now at home. I was so fortunate  to get this rare set and moreover, it was a really great, nice  and straightforward deal with  @gizmo1947, thanks to him. 
This set now joins my other  beautiful 3 gold coin premium set, I bought a few months ago, thanks to @Numistacker , and my silver coins.
Now I just miss the 5oz Gold  (with a low premium of course !)
Did I say that I love these 2014 Britannia ?  
 
 


 

So all you need now is a perfect proof 1/2 oz 

Everything is fine hopefully. I can't be of any help, but I can't imagine toning on a new coin. 
This is a beautiful coin with a lot of relief.

I see only a reflection, and this one is not on the other photo

Some special and semi_key Pandas
Elusive Bimetallics : 
Hard to find the 1996 Munch coin show  (mintage 1500) at 25/30% below market price
 
 
The bimetallic 10 Yuan 1994 Mintage 3000. Beautiful overall and nice silver  toning for a nice price,  but will need conservation if graded

Semi key  1/2oz 2006 with 10% premium

Key 1/10 oz Panda 2006. I bought it at Metal Market Europe (first time and last time buy). But very disapointed with the quality and MME reply when I asked for a refund. They said that Pandas are only bullion coins and not numismatic coins, when I argued about the (high) premium, they said it's normal for fractionnal coins (150% premium, ouch....). I hope to send it back however and everything will be fine
