A 2006 bullion half sovereign .

[engire]

Last week I received two nice items, but very different from each other.

The first is a nice coin from Burundi from the Baby five series. I've been looking for a coin from Burundi for longer, but I really don't like their design in the African lion series. I managed to get this one for a reasonable price in an online auction. It came without the original box, but I think the price makes up for it. I really love the design on this one. The high relief combined with the antiquing really makes it pop out. In real life it looks a bit better than photos with the light playing of it.

The other one is a cool item is native silver of a calcite base. Not for stacking of course, but nice to have the range of silver in it's original form, bars and coins. I love the fine detail on it.

[SILVERFINGER]

Love that raw silver.

Yeah its one reason I collect poured/cast bars, I can carefully clean them without worrying to much (well I dont at all to be honest)

At the end of the day I like it, and those spots wouldnt bother me too much, proves its real silver, I would own it as it is.

[Sliopjbsail]

Haven’t got a pic as not near the coin but I got a 2015 britannia which was listed £19 for £9 as I received a £10 eBay voucher for selling 3+ items in a month so, super cheap coin ?
