From today i’m proud owner of the 2008 mouse 3 coin proof set. Only 366 sets are minted. 

These are my first proof coins, and won’t be my last. 😎

The S1 mouse proof set should be your next one!

Thank you! Totally agree, they are very nice! Please let me know when you have your second one in hand and I should be able to help out.

Some new stuff acquired, 100 gram Umicore bar(on the far right), some Morgans and Peace dollars, and a 1987 Silver Eagle(insane premium but it's a souvenir) from American Jewelry and Loan (and a selfie with famous Les!).

Where did you pick up the ATB? Been wanting to get a few of these since I seen the Mount Rushmore one

[mr1030]

@Stacknsave Directly from the U.S. Mint.  I have an enrollment for the 5 oz ATB's.  These are the collector versions, not the bullion version, and are initially available directly from the mint.  I am trying to complete a collection of both the bullion and these P versions.  I buy the bullion versions from whichever dealer has them the cheapest at the time.

[Stacknsave]

@mr1030 I can never find dealers with them, certainly not in the uk anyway. 

I’ve been collecting US quarters since I was a teenager so with these basically being giant versions there a must have haha. 

I take it the collectibles are a more proof finish from the Philadelphia mint? 

I will have to keep an eye out if any of the European dealers have them and get a few, don’t think I will ever get a complete set.

 

[mr1030]

@Stacknsave  The Mint calls the surface "vaporblast surface" treatment.  It has a satin like texture to the surface, rather then the shiny raw silver surface you will see on the bullion coins.  Closest thing I can compare it too is the very deepest frosting you might see on some proof coins, except the whole coin is done that way.  The P coins are also limited to 30k mintage although quite a few of the more recent issues have only had half that amount minted.  The bullion coins are minted to demand and can reach as much as 300k if I remember correctly.  The demand for ATB in both bullion and collector versions have declined greatly in the last 4-5 years and the mintage figures reflect that.

Nothing too earth-shattering, but a surprise gift from an acquaintance who knows I like coins. It was passed down to her by her mother, and she said she was glad to part with it knowing it will be in good hands.

The COA describes the coins. The smaller 50p is Cupro-Nickel while the larger Rs.10 is 50% silver.

Chiemgauer.de & Silberling.de usually have the newer issues at a reasonable price.

WTF you are kidding me, I saw a program ages ago about the thieving f@#ks in the royal mail doing this makes me sick.

[Frenchie]

Just got today the 2nd  Leopard Ghana 2018, 5 cedis. Really beautiful coin with nice shades and reliefs. Seems to be a clear  winner  to me with a limited mintage of 8500.

2018 The Snowman 50p Silver Proof. An absolute stunner in hand.

 

[richatthecroft]

Bought this for my football crazy eldest son for a Christmas gift, the coin shares his birth year too. Nice coin this one. 

And this arrived today, almost 200 pages of Sovereign pornography .  

Unfortunately, it was snatched from me shortly after the photo was taken. I’m told by my wife I will be reunited with it on Christmas morning.
