Something big and shiny arrived this morning. It's not something I normally collect but I think the design is one of the prettiest around so I couldn't resist when I saw this. 

 

One of my favorite coins!! What a beauty, great purchase!

[Amazing]

This just arrived in the mailbox. Bought it off pmsforsale.

What's the weight on this might save for one as  I am an avid poker player it would be my card cover

Weight is 88g, I paid €135 for it including shipping, so it's an expensive piece. But so worth it!

Thank you. It has already become my favourite silver piece of all time. So happy I bought it.

1852 Half Sovereign. Lovely obverse, bit of a scratch on the reverse but pricey nicey. 

Ebay seller turned out to be a local coin collector and delivered it to me last night. Lovely chap, we chatted for ages, much to the wife's annoyance!

Todays visit from paddington:

Much nicer IRL than compared to the pictures. What did make me laugh was getting in early means you get the last packaged ones, so despite being one of the first I would imagine I have the pleasure of certificate numbers all in the 40k's .... did make me laugh out loud!

Hello, addition to my Chinese panda collection just arrived from a US eBay seller.

First of two coins purchased from respected forum member @Paul

1924 $20 Dollar St Gaudens. It is safe to say this coin has blown me away!

Paul is a top fella to deal with.

I just got this today. A 1820 gold half sovereign coin with a mintage of just 35,000. Any guesses on what it might grade ?

I wouldn’t worry too much about the grade.  What’s not to like?

Second pickup was a 2014 Gold Buffalo.

The depth of strike on this coin has to be seen in the flesh!

Turned into an expensive Sunday!

Not precious but got something interesting in my change today:

Then bartered this one from a colleague:

I have been patiently waiting to strike and bag one of these SS Gairsoppa 10oz Bars at a reasonable price. 

I scored one without the box and COA for £150 a little while ago from a scrap dealer. Basters had out a nick in it to cut to check the purity  But still pretty cool.

I just received a BU 1908 St Gaudens a couple weeks ago, and they are magnificent coins in hand.  Congrats!

Photos of my bargain Gairsoppa bar. See the nick they took out of it.

 WTF, why couldnt they have taken it from the back of the bar where it wouldnt be so noticable, or drill a small hole in it that could be filled with silver, I wouldnt let those butchers touch anything of mine.
