Went to the Perth Money Expo today and picked up the Kookaburra 1oz silver coin with the floral privy mark. This was issued especially for the show, mintage 2,000. 

Copper & Silver Aztecs courtesy of @SilverStan.  Australia Shillings & Pesos from @MikeSol- and the little South American dodgers are from a tat shop- the Columbian isn’t Silver but the pretty portrait makes up for it. 

Today's delivery: A 2020 bullion gold sovereign to get Alun's beautiful box underway, some 50% 1920-1947 pre-decimal silver half-crowns comfortably under spot and a couple of half dollars from our very own @AgD 
 

Today my silverforum mug arrived as well as a couple of silver purchases off ebay. 

My first purchase of 2020 courtesy of @AgD a lovely tube of ASE - 12x2016, 4x2017, 2x2018, 1x2015 and 1x2011 all in great condition.
Quick delivery and amazingly well packaged, thank you 👍🏻
Incidentally that's me now broke the 200oz mark for my little stack!! Took me a year or so but got there in the end......much more to come 😁

1981 and 1997 sovs 
thank you @1817Karl 👍

A couple of carded Kooks from @jultorsk - love the 1oz kooks

Another Napoleon 20 Lire - may not be all it seems!
 

First gold pieces of the year from HGM: a French 20 francs and an Austrian 8 florins/20 francs.

I just wanted to alert you that there are forgeries out there. In specific the 1911 20 Bolívares from Venezuela:


While these forgeries have the appearance of lustrous and uncirculated coins, they seem to be minted from a copy die of a very specific version of the 1911 coin
(dot closer to 1 rather than centred between 1 and L – undocumented)
Especially the reverse is struck off centre and under magnification it will become clear that the letters and numbers of the legend are very weak and mushy:


I have seen two coins on eBay – one in the US and one in Spain. Typically the seller will have low magnification or resolution pictures to mask the shortcomings of the forgery; in terms of weight and size these coins will pass but they are definitely not worth any premium over spot (I haven’t tested the alloy).

Just taken delivery of a magnificent 7 Coins, from over the pond! Peruvian Una Libras..Sovereigns of South America! 🇵🇪

If I could afford to buy these I would, they would make a great coin to collect. A fair few to go after chaps!

Bunch of war medals. I refuse to let them melt decent ones.
