This little Libertad came in on Friday but I wasn’t in my office to collect it. A nice little beaut from eBay of all places! Tested and all good. It’s only small but the weight adds up quickly.

I love it, the front of the coin is just beautiful thru it simplicity.

Elegant coin, the design of the lady with the wings is superb, lovely coin to collect.

Very nice! As an aside, looks to be a short tail, but hard to tell from the angle. Can you see if there is a wisp of tail hair on the upper left inner portion of the horse’s tail? 

Good question I'm looking at it myself I will try and get back to you and soon as possible.

[gazer]

Just checked again yes there is a wisp where you said to look. Does this mean (short tail)?

Yep, that would be indicative of a short tail variety. Thank you!

These look worth way more than I paid for them...

You get some cool stuff mate 

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Well received a plastic wallet with EXACTLY the right number of pockets for those little gem bars I acquired. Took a gamble they will fit and am happy with the result!

I like this as I can see both sides! 

Now just have to get the 4 missing stones.

i will be honest, this is what stacking is about for me, save some money but enjoy cool stuff too!

Got to say they look awesome

Generic silver coins are nice but the older/ vintage stuff is so cool

Nice catch up today with @1817Karl who didn’t let me leave empty handed. Three nice sets 1950,  1951 & 1953. Proper money.  Thanks Karl.

Lovely proof sets, I'm sure some of the forum members remember using these... Not me!

What a great set of coins, I was struggling between this type of collection or sovereigns one of each of different areas, choosed the sov in the end, but beautiful sets as yours I will collect in the future. Thank you for sharing.

In my opinion you are wise to stick to Sovereigns- you can always count on the intrinsic value.  

I enjoy owning these sets just as much as I enjoy Sovereigns, and also have 1937 & 1968 sets in the red cases but I think I would be baulking at putting down the cash to buy older sets for example, an 1887 Silver set, as much as I would love to own it!

Got my run of 2019 exotic ingots in from YPS. Stamp turned out decent in my opinion.

Grumpy Dave is gonna get jealous!! Don’t let @GrahamDiamond see these!!

With prices going up, sellers are opening up inventory which is nice to see. More silver in my world crown collection. Most will be for sale except a few choice examples. The Peru Sol, NZ Crown, AustraliA Crown, the Ecuador Sucre (very high grade), the Egypt 50 Piastres (to celebrate the evacuation of the Brits) are some that will go into long term storage.

Stunning! I've been toying with the idea of adding a tube of ASE for a while now. I'm just going to have to do it aren't I 😁
