Had to do a bit of research on the oriental one. Never noticed how they changed the border each year. 🙂

Yes, different borders and the proof one is like glass.

Thanks to @Chrisplym for a great looking coin. Looks great in hand.

Not my usual MO and certainly not anything particularly exciting. The last definitives of old Betty and the first of young Charlie.

I think it will complete my collection of Jubilee/Memorial/Coronation coins.

Interestingly the obverse faces out on the Betty set, the reverse faces out on the Charlie's. I'd have thought that the other way around would have made more sense...

Maybe it was an incoming and outgoing monarch type thing?

Did you buy them recently from the RM? I just remembered I bought some of these on the 29th August but the order is still processing.

Arrivals this week.

1) 2023 King Charles III Coronation Strike on the Day sovereign, mintage 1,250 coins. Lovely Matt BU finish. 

2) issued in 2024 as part of the Royal Mints “Great Engravers” series this 2oz silver proof being a tribute to the 1818 Crown with the St George & Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci. Maximum mintage 3,060 coins. Graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo by NGC whose Population Census today shows they have graded 756 of these coins with 328 at 70 (43%), 401 at 69 (53%) and 27 at 68 (3.6%). I wonder how many of those graded at 68 have already been cracked out of their NGC holders?

3) lastly the 2023 proof £2 double sovereign from the Coronation proof sovereign set, mintage 1,250 coins. I bought two of the five coin sets and had the first graded and the coins came back at 70 except the £2 double. So I took the chance and had the raw coin from the other set graded (the one photographed below) and luckily it achieved a 70. 
 

Also my Labrador Popcorn says hello to you all!

Arrival from an eBay seller in China 🇨🇳 Is this 1993 1/20th gold Panda.🐼 

I am putting together a date run of these coins which were issued in this size from 1983 to 2015.
 

According to the Gold & Silver Panda guide mintage was 158,364 coins but most were not sold and melted leaving an estimated population of <5,100.

Fantastic again.

It's bonkers that these weigh the same. They both appear to be the same thickness 🙃 

Thanks @TapiaSTKAu

[Silfrfish]

I like these small poured bars, kinda feel like the less silver there is to work with the more interesting the design has to be to achieve the ‘in hand’ wow factor. Thanks to @Ducat916 for this little beauty 🙏

A rare coin that someone packaged by sellotaping it to a piece of card 😢

Just today received this lovely 1828 United Kingdom 🇬🇧 six pence in probably VF condition.
I have read that the mintage that year was low at around 14,800 coins but that is unconfirmed.
Portrait of King George IV on the obverse and the “crowned lion passant atop a crown” on the reverse.
This design was used from 1826 to 1829.
