Lovely half sovereign today, back from grade:
 

Finally received mine after order mix-up with The Royal Mint…

Finally received mine after order mix-up with The Royal Mint…

Went from old gold to receiving what I believe is fake gold. Received a Saudi Arabia Gold Guinea, new fake variety, as it isn’t like the other genuine examples I have seen. This recent example explicitly states “24” “CT” on the obverse, and looks to be missing the first character in the script if reading from right to left on the reverse.
Also, the weight and size measurements are not accurate to the genuine 1950/1957 Saudi Gold guineas... 7.00 grams total weight, 21.88 mm diameter and  approx 1.23 mm thickness.
I have a voice mail in to Billion Exchanges as I had ordered this from their recent availabilities of Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea AU/BU (Random,1950 or 1957).

 
Closer inspection given the wear of the detail and in consult with @augur (Thank you @augur for the review and advice!), these two are also copies of Saudi Gold Guineas...now I have a solid collection of Saudi Gold Guinea copies!😁

Thanks to @RiverbankSilver for this little gem today. 5 into my 10x world tenths. 

I don't normally post in this 'ere thread, what with that tragic mishap on a boat involving Sixgun, a case of rum and my stash I don't have things to share!
That said these beauties came today courtesy of @Mox. Hallmarked bullion silver at a very fair price, they look great too. 

new arrivals for me.... thanks to @StBeesSilver @Mox and @BullionMan89 

Big thanks to @Mox @arphethean and @BullionMan89 for today's arrivals. 

Sending this beauty from the opal series also to NGC. Only 5,000 mintage - sounds promising as a long-term investment.

Got this little lady this morning thanks to @silversurf and @MickD being a gent, cheers guys 🍻 
and she fits perfectly!

Thanks to @StBeesSilver and @Ieuanhazle666 for the 2 four dragons blessings bars and the lovely 10oz Brit bar. One happy stacker here.

Just a couple of 2022 silver Britannias along with a 2000 half sovereign for my stack. 

Love these low-mintage coins from the Perth Mint - hopefully this time a I get a 70 from NGC.

Some more £5 Silver Proof’s.  The Royal Birth coins are Bergdahl designed and a nice design.  
The Sapphire Jubilee is a duplicate- but also a lovely design as is the Century of the House of Windsor.
And taking the rough with the smooth in this batch- a design monstrosity of the Royal Wedding.

1/10 Panda from Morezone,
100g silver bars From Mom.Metals
Thank you to you both 

Today arrived the second spherical coin in the barbadian 1 OZ planets series, Mercury. Looks way better than the first one, Mars. First time after a couple of years, i opened  my 2 OZ Galileo 450 years anniversary box with a little real moonstone. I was searching for a 3 OZ spherical earth, same outer packaging. Somewhere i must have a coin with a little peace of a meteorite. 🤔Next time.
I love days like these😊

 
 
 

Did someone call my name?

The ‘streak’ of Tigers is nearly complete…



No idea why that loaded again…!!! 😂

Thanks to @BullionMan89 for the bar lovely stuff in the words of alan partridge!

@Mox Love it! Anyone considering a MOX bar do it they are ace.

Just arrived, small but perfectly formed.
 

Only stacking bullion gets a bit boring so had these sent off to NGC. 

Today I received a few nice pieces of world gold, starting with this fantastic 1916 Peru Una Libra courtesy of @Leonmarsh.
This is the first of a handful of coins on their way across the ocean from Leon. I had to judge from photos to decide on this piece and I must say, his photos dont do this coin justice! In person it looks as if it could've been minted in 2016. Clean luster, only very light marking from being stacked in tubes or in bags over the decades. Wouldnt be surprised if it had spent considerable time sitting in a vault or collection undisturbed. Would easily grade on the MS spectrum, IMHO.
Mintage of approx. 500,000, same dimensions and gold content as a Sovereign.
Second piece is one of my favorite old school bullion coins, the Mexican 50 peso. Im not sure how common or popular these are in the UK or Europe. Even in North America they get almost no love. The modern Mexican Libertads are well known for their low mintages and high premiums, but these older pieces are all but forgotten.
37mm in diameter with a whopping 1.2057 ozt, these coins are absolute bricks! You know you're holding gold when you hold one.
They were minted mostly during the 1920s and early 30s, and then again towards the end of WWII. Afterwards, they minted numerous restrikes using the 1947 date mold.
