Narrowly missed out on an item on ebay and messaged the seller to see if he had another but he didn't, so instead he sent me this coin completely free as a consolation absolutely stunning and almost flawless 1924 Austria

Ebay gets a bad rap. I have dealt with a lot of great dealers, as well.

1837 Sixpence: been cleaned but the wear isn't bad.

2020 Proof Set has .999 silver on the half, quarters, and dime.  I like the cameos on these.

Nothing special really but an upgrade to one I already had, this one has lots of its lustre remaining and the production in 1941 was half what it was of my other coin (1945), just got to get a wet wooden toothpick and my microscope out to clean the muck off of it later.

1941 dated British Six Pence .500 silver, production 23,186,600

 

 

I collect sixpence also. Nice one there.

4 "random" Peace Dollars from Apmex and also a 40% silver Ike. The condition, BU, seems legit.

I sent an email to Apex. 3 x 1923 and 1922 are the most common. So it's not like they close their eyes and pick from a bin. Unless the bin is full of these.

From Apmex. I think the 1878 is a mint. It has cartwheeling both sides.

1939 Proof Victoria Shield - PR62 (en medaille) - It is believed that the coins stuck in medal alignment match the Una and lion and therefore are from the coronation set.

This coin is undergraded in my opinion, I've got another PR62 that is nowhere near as nice as this, and seen other that are verging on "manky" and still got a PR62. It was obviously graded some time ago due to the old label

 

 

Will you try for better grade? Send it to NGC?

I think the G. Britain coin is only for 1955 and later.

Great coin btw! 🧐

I just went to my local dealer. He was able to get the GB holder ordered. I suppose @Numistacker could also get it done.

I will post a new photo in a few weeks when I get it back.

Oh, that's sad. Some older coins would look good in special holders.

Poker win again yesterday!
 

Got my hands on this beauty. 1889 Melbourne full Sovereign. Although not rare not many in this condition available at a few quid over spot. 

also added better photos of the toned half shield. 

 Looks like it was minted yesterday.

 

 

Is this coin real? I see a lot of these on ebay but mostly worn to nothing or very expensive. I forgot how much I paid. I think around $15 and not on ebay.

The cute little 3-pence has less wear than it's older brother, but it has been cleaned and not gradable.

The sixpence has nice tone and i need that variety. Maybe an AU-58.

Continuing with adding US Pre-33 gold coins to the collection...a very nice, slightly copper spotted, 1900 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle BU. 
 

 

Very nice. I guess conservation will fix the spots.

A few odd coins in the Saturday mail.      

Shame that the sixpence looks cleaned. The other two are keepers, though.

1831 proof Penny from the 1831 proof year set

 

 

1839 proof farthing from the 1839 proof year set

 

1797 pattern proof halfpenny 

 

1806 Proof Penny Soho Mint Gilded

 

I love the design of Britannia in the bottom 2, compared to the later. Even though that's nice too.      

I think the earlier version she is more at peace. Beckoning the ship in. 
The later one she is sitting but prepared to spring up for battle. Her gear ready.

A few of my favorite things....           

1953 set; 1970-71 sets; 1887 Farthing

Got these earlier in the month. Small selection of USA silver. Would love loads more but seems to carry quite a premium over here. 

 

 

See?...US coins can be just as pretty as the British stuff

Lovely coins all of the but the crown 😍

The Crown is nice...if I can get rid of that ugly AU-55
