There are officially 101 hens teeth known to exist. This therefore really is rare than.........

The only other thing (that silly old me knows about) with 100 ‘mintage’ is the Christmas Minty Piggy Bank. I received mine yesterday. Photos to follow...

As promised (because you were ALL so excited when I mentioned this on the chat yesterday...) please see below the Christmas edition of Minty and the original edition. They are a lovely little set of piggies.

The Snowman Minty is still being weened off at the Mint. Should be with his new family soon. Will do a family shot when he arrives...

 Yes we get gang raped too on taxes... same rates

Pity. But oh well, guess you can at least consider yourself lucky you don't have an Eirexit to worry about, so trade with the rest of the EU won't be a massive b!tch for you.

Well today I received what I think is Shipwreck Silver. The Coin is Horse Rider Ducaton from the Dutch province West Friesland - All the specifics match. I am just not sure which specialist to take it to for real evaluation. It was part of a 5KG silver coins blind buy. 

It could be 1 of the 50.000 silver coins from the Hollandia shipwreck. 

The coins were found in 1971.

Here’s some more info. (In dutch)

My German numismatic expert thinks so too. He said the markings are consistent with salt water damage and other Hollandia coins he’s handled. But without provenance can’t be marketed that way

@Kookaburracollector is such a great admirer of this design, he might throw in his snowman coin.

Thank you @richatthecroft for highlighting that ATS Bullion 2% above spot sale on One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia 22ct (1987-2012)

https://www.atsbullion.com/one-ounce-gold-coins/britannia-one-ounce-gold-coin-22-carat/#.Xcqt_9XgoUE

They did not have 2003 / 2008 / 2010 One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia (and I am still on the hunt for these) but they had 2009 One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia 22ct. Packaging from ATS Bullion very good and I love the design of the coin and lady Britannia on her majestic chariot.

Well that’s just ruined your Christmas present surprise!...The llama just kills that Pig!

[FunkyChicken]

And then I received something I ordered back in September. 😂

Let's just say I've learned my lesson to not order coins that come with a 4 to 6 week lead time. Especially when that coin is delayed by another two weeks, so I still don't have that yet. 🤦‍♂️I so not have the patience for that kind of sh*peep*... 😬

But okay, until that time I'll just feast my eyes out on the silver coins that I have received today: a 2oz White Lion of Mortimer, a 2oz Britannia & Germania Allegories (yep, it's terribly overpriced, but I also think it's pretty), another 10oz Magnificent Maple Leaf, and another 10oz Unicorn of Scotland. 😊

Others may know better (and definitely will!) but I believe it’s an Indian Princess Head. Beautiful looking coin...

[AndrewSL76]

Actually @CadmiumGreen already called it...see his comment above!
