Got a few packages today. 

- A couple of 2011 britannias from Westminster,  complete with a Westminster CofA and capsules:

 

- 2 tenth ounce gold britannias from Westminster, complete with drawstring bag (not as nice as BYB's mind) and still in omp:

 

 

- A Germania and Dutch thingymijig from Martin @ silver trader, compete with capsules and free magnet (I couldn't work out why my invoice was sticking to my scissors to begin with)... really like the scratch-effect background on the germania coin:

 

 

- My cupro nickel snowmen, complete with free royal mint 2017 Christmas tree coin:

I bought a lot of supposed 5 franc silver coins. There is one 5 Lire in there as well but it doesn't bother me. I got them for 13.30€ a piece.

Got this in the post today. Not too often I can buy silver which supports 2 independent businesses (one local) and a charity. Piece looks stunning, thanks to @BleyerBullion and @BackyardBullion

 

Cheers

Boy that was fast! Well done @BleyerBullion - that last minute dash to the post office was well worth it!

[AgD]

Just picked up from the post office a nice little. 925 sterling lot the 3 crowns and 6 half crowns courtesy of @ilovesilverireallydo and the top half crown a eBay purchase 

[Coolsmp]

These came this morning. Paddington at the station and Buckingham Palace. Used the 20% discount Royal Mint were offering on Black Friaday. My son was trying to grab them.. he loves them!

[Stuart7]

Received my expensive 10p coin hunt set today. 1 set for me and another for my niece who loves them. My three favourites are the B, T and X 😃

The 2018 Royal Mint Advent Calendar, The Nutcracker...with Gold Sovereigns, look to be more £5 sized which is even better! OK, so they are chocolate Gold Sovereigns. 😁

Also, perhaps along the festive season, Christmas, and The Nutcracker...a 1989 Palladium Russian Ballerina! Very nice first in diversifying PMs!

[Coolsmp]

Love the Russian coin. Where did you get this???

[AuricGoldfinger]

@CadmiumGreen i take issue with your post.

i cannot believe this is the first i have seen of the sovereign advent calendar and i am GUTTED that i dont have one!!!

Holy bad that is cool! I want one!! Why does the UK always have all the cool stuff... 

[Kritika]

A nice 1856 Shield Back,

This may be a candidate for my first attempt at grading, but still not sure if its good enough?

Its a nice coin, but strange, most of the details seem really good apart from the hair detail above Victorias ear which is near flat, i wouldn't personally grade it, but its your choice

I've just had a closer look at it with a loop and my picture is a bit misleading with the reflections above the ear, but I think your right I will give grading a miss on this one.

are those dents at 12, 5 and 8 o'clock just the capsule?

Ha Ha, yes they are crimps in the Capsule

I picked this up from Bullion Exchanges. Thankfully @mr1030 informed me of Provident Metals having bullion Canadian Palladium maple leafs at spot on Black Friday, but I opted for the Russian Ballerina from Bullion Exchanges, as Provident didn’t have any. A little more premium than the Canadian Maple, but not egregiously so...and I really like the design better on the Ballerina.

I picked up three of these, two for the kids and one for myself, as I just didn’t want to live vicariously through them on this one! There is a real The Nutcracker theme coin on the last day of the advent calendar...and this was by far less expensive than The Royal Mint’s gold and silver crackers!

That ballerina looks really beautiful, it looks like mother Russia! 👌 a way better choice than the Maple leaf! Great catch!

Picked up the new 2oz antiqued silver Dragon & Phoenix coin from the Perth Mint yesterday. Apartently they have sold out at the mint. 

Ordered mine today from Germany not many left at a good price payed 160euro delivered to Spain. I think it’s a winner. 

[Darren9330]

Received this quintuple today, very pleased. Is it worth getting graded? (Sorry newbie question)

Not everyone’s cup of tea.

but I love it.

I did want the oriental Britannia but it had gone before I could pull the trigger. Still happy 😊
