This is a better photo:

As is this:

Almost as good as the original 1847 silver crown.
Now all I want is an 1853 version!
😎

This just came in via Purolator Courier about 15 minutes ago.  I had my eyes on the 2021 Iberian Lynx, but never thought I was able to get my hands on one due to the limited production run (and mainly a coin that is predominantly available in Europe only).   So guess my surprise when I saw on Silvergoldbull.ca (Canadian online bullion dealer) had this available for sale.   I pulled the trigger immediately.   Details are gorgeous, I'm so glad I picked it up.  Enjoy! 

Today we photographed a gold coin which appears to be a Fanam of Prithvi Vira Vikrama a.k.a. Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah.

But which way is up?

One of our team, who is Indian, managed to recognise one of the Hindi letters / symbols, शु , representing the sound "Su". I may need to enlist her further help in working out which way round this coin should be, and also whether the attribution shown on its coin holder is correct.

It probably weighs about 0.3 grams, and has a tiny diameter, about 6 mms.
Anybody out there care to contribute any more information?
 

Got these two back from grading, sorry about the terrible photos, not much sun in .Florida today.
 

Stunning rare 1820 1/2 Sov with a mintage of 35,000 in a nice grade 
Stunner 
Hoping to add the 1818 and 1817 to complete the run 

Couple of auction wins picked up this morning, got them to potentially move on, like them both to much to sell 🤣 The £1  has some edge toning , hadn't realised it was such a nice little coin and the Kruger looks mint. Both proof.
 

This arrived yesterday, is it permitted in "Today I Received".

I was going to count the edge serrations, but there weren't any.
Should I send it back?
😎

These arrived today and I am linking them the more I see. Also COA 1👍

The picture is made in your left pocket? If yes, should be a loose quintuple sovereign 1989. I am right, isn't it?😊

Any coin minted by the Royal Mint?
 

I received my 2 oz silver proof Britannia today and think it’s a beautiful coin.  The black lacquer case made for a very nice package.  I ordered the coin on 3/8 and it showed up today in California- I don’t get shipments that fast from the US mint.  
 
I passed on the group coin, maybe a mistake but I just didn’t like the design.

Thanks to @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer i received yesterday this little beauty. Great service, good packaged and declared, arrived with no issues. Thanks for that, allways a pleasure.👍And the coin looks better, than i thought.

3 x portraits just arrived in the post. All look good, on first inspection, except...
Coins #1 and #2, which have consecutive serial numbers, were found to be in capsules which were open.
Coin #1 was stuck at an angle in the bottom part of the capsule, it required careful manouvering to get it to sit back correctly.
Coin #3, which was sealed in its capsule and quite difficult to open, had some particulate/flashing on the portrait side, but this was easily removed.
Looks like I'm adding these to the stack.  

I am happy to report that two very lucky people are now the owners of these two spare coins at issue price. 
In addition, a few members honour showing through as I had put an honesty clause in the sales post that only those without any of these coins should buy them and NOT to instantly flip for profit. 
I am an eternal optimist and it's nice to see such honour shining through on this forum.
I enjoyed this good deed, I feel like I might do this more often with Royal Mint releases. 

Received these three today.



 

This week is getting better and better...
Didn't expected the release of the 2020 5 OZ Palau Black Panther coin on 25th March 2022.🤣🤣🤣 
This is my absolute favorite Smartminting design. Absolutely life like look, stunning details. Had the 2 OZ, but this one is so much better. But watch yourself. Right now i'm like a little kid with a sugar overdose. This coin is a really bad boy. But the packaging, box and COA is only for purists.

That's a good start of the week. 3 OZ Millenium Falcon, well done by the NZ Mint, or should i say Perth Mint, @LawrenceChard?
Whoever minted this, did me a favor. 🥳
Could be projected and minted by B.H. Mayer and CIT Coins, like the 1 Kilo Death Star. Their Smartminting technique has no contenders, only followers. 😏 I don't like every design by them, but in modern minting they are the undisputed grandmasters in my opinion.

Congratulation and stunning photos Paul !  it would be great if you can take pictures of the 4 coins all together ! 
My coins gone for grading are coming back slowly and I hope to get my Quartered Arms shortly, hopefully with a PF70. (Meanwhile, I got PF70 for my whole 5 coins Sovereign set 2022  ) 

Silver 1oz and 2oz BM (for the first time, I was lucky in the queue today) and GC Portrait ordered   
Even if there is a quality flaw, I think it worths the risks, anyway I could send them back so no hassle

That's great news for the 2022 sovereigns, encouraging values for the £5 for sure, a 70 in Jan on feebay was was £4000, feebay feb sold £4500, coin cabinet yesterday was £5750.  Ungraded x5 coin set £7,750.  As ive no interest in selling any time soon, i will visit grading myself in years to come 
Thank you @dikefalos very happy to own the plain edge pair.  Hopefully will be future classics in years to come, once the dust has settled and the collectors market is strong again. Ive no interest in flipping them
