Sorry Mike just started getting into them myself and am trying to stick to quality coins with decent details.

I can't remember seeing any for sale on the Forum.

[MikeG1978]

Me neither I will trawl the usual places 

I do like the aged look of these though, shows a bit of history 

[LiquidMetalsUK]

If u have a good hunt around there are some nice ones on ebay. I picked up an 1889 to have a look. Not sure if I'll keep on with these as they are hard to find and very high premium. I do really like em though

That's what sort of stops me they are twice the price of decent 1oz .999 coins

Plus the value is mainly on the fine and above which can be upwards of 10x spot 

In may just finish my silver buying and start on my gold thinking either sovereigns or 1/4 gold beasts

Yeh I payed £38 posted. And as I'm a little mental if I carry on I will need to fill one of my tubes of 10 with a date run. 😜😜

Received this today courtesy of @MrScottsdale

The second one of these stunning bars to get added to my ever growing stack!

[augur]

A prussian double crown in a rather impressive grade. 1888 is also the three emperor year with Wilhelm I marking the first Emperor to reign this remarkable year.

Yes you’re looking at putting down more than an oz bully equivalent in £ to get a pretty worn one.

Auction at the end of this month;

I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.

I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...

I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 

I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it

Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️  

 

Magnificent specimen 🤩 one question which camera are you using ? or is that a close guarded secret 😉

Thank you, this is not a special secret, but I have PM you

Received the new Destiny round "Mors Draco" proof and antiqued (the two on the right).

I was going for the complete set in antiqued, but picked up some proofs along the way.  Still deciding if I want to call it here or pickup the blacksmith and whatever comes next.

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Lovely mix of fractionals, but super happy with the 1/4 Onza and the SA 1R both of which have been on my list for ages, both low mintage coins. 

Got the roo and the panda at spot so happy with that result too.

Today’s arrivals!

This piece is indeed remarkable in its medal like depth and detail. Not less remarkable the is the disappearance of the culture that created the temple complex and how it has survived millennia in the jungle climate. Or was this temple city in use more recent than his story ans want us to believe...

I love detailed art, one reason I love deep relief carving and coins...but when you can have as mu h fun looking at a coin through a microscope because it's so detailed...that makes it extra nice.

I have a sweet capped bust one cent 1830 I believe which has a small nick on it, doesn't bother me but some anal annie's get all bunched up about it.
