Today I bought.....

[Richiesilver]

Arrgh I'm on a slabbed sov binge!

[Mikenac]

I picked these up today at a store down the street from my office. I've been wanting a Panda for a while now so I was happy to find one locally to grab!

7 silver Engelhard 1982 Prospector rounds. Love that design, and always looking to pick them up. 

Photos when I manage to get them.

My single most expensive silver coin so far. The prices I have seen are above 1000€ for raw and 1500€ for slabbed. Waiting to get it in my hands and send it for grading. 🤞 

Copying from the internet:

The Australian swan was a Pinches production that is both beautiful and has commanded strong bidding in sales we reviewed. When decimal currency came to Australia in 1966 no dollar coin was planned so a competition by a numismatic magazine (Australian Coin Review) resulted in this winning design by Andor Meszaros. The Australian mint did not mint a dollar coin until 1984. Competition organizers decided to issue the swan dollar privately (1500 BU and 750 Proof) and it has become a sought-after part of Australian numismatics.

Such a fabulous coin - that's some good buying right there. 🤩🇦🇺

I've been on the lookout for a British trade dollar for a good while now... no idea if this was a reasonable purchase but picked up the lot anyway. 

(This is the most expensive silver for me so far) 😬

I've recently decided to work on completing a U.S. Type Set.  It's something I've thought of doing for a couple years now.  S I bought an Intercept Shield U.S. Type Set album, and went to one of my favorite LCS' to see about filling some holes.  Besides some modern clad stuff I needed, the interesting bits were an 1826 Capped Bust half dollar that I had to have as soon as I saw it.  It has wonderful details for being a circulated sample.  I also got an 1867 2 cent piece, 1943 Walking Liberty and 1955 Franklin half dollars, and an 1922 Peace Dollar. 

I know this is going to take me quite a while to complete.  The plan is to buy MS grade for as many of the coins as possible, up to the point where they cost an arm and a leg to buy, and try going for VF/EF/AU for those.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.  It's an 1826 CAPPED Bust.  My bad.  Are you using an album?  And if so, which one?

Today bought my next in the ms65 peace dollar set, 1934 p peace dollar...an offer was made and I was hooked, now I'm half way through the date set....just got to wait 6 months while the post rear their new postal mule.

Was lucky to get 2 of the first 100.

Sold out in under 90 seconds

Some of the long awaited proof Griffin QBs in silver and gold. Lets hope the Mint have good quality control on them...given the prices. Oh - and some decent bubble wrap around the boxes would be nice as well....instead of the wrapping that they sometimes use (have had some packages that look like they are recycling old Xmas presents instead of shipping a premium product 😢). 10 days wait to see the coins, but I am happy enough to have noticed the email this morning to get the order in.

I have managed to snap up my share to complete the collection as well. Surprised this last coin sold out within a day given the higher mintage of this release. Never a fan of RM changing the mintages of a series from time to time.... started with 2,500 for the quarter proof Lion to 1,000 for the Hound.
