Today I received a very welcome package too... 

Thanks @BackyardBullion and @ChrisSilver for making this happen
 

Big brother and Little sister arrived today..... just need to name them now...... 😂

While some members here were eagerly waiting their 2022 Proof Sovereigns, I have been waiting patiently for the release of 2022 Chinese Mint Pandas. 
Picked up two AG and two AU. The design of the 2022 Pandas is both appealing and delightful IMO. 
Edit: The AU pandas here are from the Shanghai Mint. Goodness knows why they are sealed on 3 sides only !!! 
When questioned, the dealer showed others and they are that way when released 🤔

The Eagle (or lion and unicorn in this case) has finally landed.

Slowly ticking these off the off my list. The 20th Anniversary of Ghanaian Independence gold commemorative coin. Though produced by the royal mint historic Ghanaian coins are hard to find. They pop up in auctions around Europe from time to time do when I see them I grab them. Have a couple arriving next week then I’ll just have 2 outstanding. Off to NGC this goes to be preserved

Very interesting (and again VERY heavy!)  package arrived today...

Tied closed for over 50 years...

Even before decimalisation...

Only a fiver worth...

Of uncirculated copper pennies.

from 1967

Well for me this is the coin off the year. I dont really get excited by bullion minted coins anymore but this one has me all hot and flustered 😂 Absolute BELTER of a coin from Minting to presentation 

Got me a half sovereign today!

Which goes well with the rest of the 2021 brits
 

Finally received my 2022 Proof Sovereign set. All seems to be good 😀
 

So, this is my first: Today I Received post... 😋
I love looking at everybody else's coins on here, some really great bits & pieces in there. Some that I really hope to be able to get one day, fingers crossed? Some lovely interesting old and foreign coins aswell as the more modern proof coins.
This is a more modern shiny affair, I know that these pictures are not awesome, but it is a reasonably interesting coin, these were all the rage a year or two ago.
I am quite a fan of Double Sovereigns, I like the interesting different designs that they have, slightly more interesting than just the normal proof or bullion Sovereigns. Some of them I know, are a little bit gimmicky, such as this one, and are not to everyone's taste, but as a general rule I am a fan. A little bit of fun in my opinion...
 

Yet another piece of Napoleonic silver - this time Italian 1811M 2 Lire - much better than the grade suggests, clean fields and lots of lustre. Might have regraded!
 

Not sure how I feel about this one, but I was kind of compelled to get a ruthenium finish panda for something different in my panda run. 
The hologram finish on the pandas is really interesting with a crackled texture, not sure it's to my taste,  but it's the temple side I find looks very cool in ruthenium. 

Just got a little 1g bar courtesy of @arphethean

1/10 and 1/4 oz gold Tigers join the pack today

A frivolous purchase for the Christmas tree!
I wasn't expecting it to come in a star-shaped capsule, so that's nice.

Some new lovely bits of platinum for my stack. Bought before yesterday's dip but should be good long term. 
I love platinum eagles. 

Awesome few bits through the post the past week,
1886 ten D purchased for close to spot at the time and fits well with my 5 D of the same year,
and another tube of constitutional 90% dimes,
both with thanks to @BullionBob

Got to be up there with my favourites ATM 

Stunning 1873 Denmark Christian 20 kroner "The Mermaid" got to be one of the most beautiful coin designs 

Thanks, been away from selling for eons, especially online. All platforms are different and I have trouble deciphering T&cs at the best of times.
looks quite good value to gain access to the inner sanctum. I will inform my great uncle frugal who is considering joining up  
Thank you.
