Got some NGC grading results back today, some of the good ones;


To continue my 1977 collection, this beauty;


and this coin was picked up as a bullion coin and after an ncs clean turned out to be a proof and get a PF69UC  


Few more Undated 20p's back with a selection of grades, upto an MS63.


And another cheap pickup for the 1977 collection, non-ncs graded coin and graded PF69UC so very happy with that.

1839 Proof Shield - PR63 DCAM
This is a lovely coin, and I believe the rarer alignment from the una set. 

Gold standard coin from richatthecroft 
Thank you

This little birdie walked yesterday back into it's nest: first NZ platinum coin, mintage 350, 3 graded but only one as top of the pop.
Big thanks to @Lr103 for helping in the acquisition and @Numistacker for preserving it.

Not pm.s but im well happy today got this. 

Well happy fathers day for all those dads. Wife has been sneaky and between herself and @BackyardBullion
Sorted this cool chunk of silver for me😁
Amazing work as always. Thanks buddy👍

Just received the 1996, 1997 and 1998 proof sovereigns. Bought these from an Australian auction. They look great! 

Been a bit excited for the last few weeks, but today I finally received this 30 g golden beauty! Hugest of thanks to @Marc
Long story short, i'm a bit of a fan of The Phoenix (sentimental place from my uni+ days), hence my collecting of most things Phoenix such as the dragon and phoenix coins here! https://thesilverforum.com/topic/11158-today-i-received/?do=findComment&comment=247324
During my many discussions with @Marc i told him about my affinity for Phoenix coins and he showed me one he had. From that moment i wanted it. Just loved the super design with the Phoenix and obviously the gold! I've got to learn more about the history behind it too. I think he was very reluctant to let it go, but i'm chuffed he did!
Here its is, A 30 g (¥100,000) gold proof (PF70) coin commemorating The Enthronement of Emperor Akihito (Heisei). This emperor recently abdicated, the first time an emperor has done so in over 200 years. They are not rare coins, about 100,000 of them in proof, but they are very scarce outside of Japan. Now that the emperor has abdicated they probably hold a bit more historical significance! There's quite a story about the Japanese 20 g gold coin from this era, but maybe @Marc can tell that story in another post!

Big thanks to @Sovereign love it my first libertad very nice coin. 

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 ☺️  
 

1886-M, 1887-M - The two rarest of all Shieldback sovereigns. 
Finally have the pair 😍👌

Back from grading today thanks @Numistacker 😁😁😁

Yep, looks like it....must be a new special feature...lol.  Not complaining as it only cost me £430

After what seems to have been a very long wait...my first ever sovereign has arrived.and I like it..a lot !


 

Wanted this since 16 years old finally got it.
