If you like UK coins and Britannia's, this is one pair certificate #064 of 500. Only pop 2 and pop 6 (in this variety) PCGS coins in a Gold Shield holder. I am considering selling, but it is not a low-price version.

And then this week, I got the silver one, was holding out for a 70 but cannot find one anywhere so I settled for a 69, luckily this thing does not have any milk spots! That was my biggest fear…
I grabbed enough aluminum cans Monday night (>2K), mostly out of one dumpster at a boat landing/campground, to purchase another Silver Eagle.
It takes 2000 cans or 60 pounds of aluminum cans to purchase a silver eagle now.
I have 6 silver eagles worth of aluminum cans sitting in the garage at the moment despite the multiple hurricane disruptions. The past two months have been good ones as I've expanded the number of sites I visit. Now I need to find the homes of some more heavy beer-drinkers to take it to the next level. They can provide $50-150 of income per household per year.
I have that saved in my "watch list" on eBay, mostly because I am curious if it will sell or not (way too much for me to afford to purchase, unfortunately).

A recent purchase. Don't know much about it, except it is sort of interesting and I like the older vintage silver the most. I do see a few 1- and 10-ounce versions that sell for a premium.
Some bullion - a nice investment when purchased at $280/oz for gold and $8/oz for silver 25 years ago. This is from my girlfriend's father's estate. It was one of his better investments.
Very nice Asheland.
I picked up this really pretty 1oz. 2021 Ukrainian Mint piece a couple weeks back.
Obverse: Displays the Coat of Arms of Ukraine with “National Bank of Ukraine” inscribed in Ukrainian.
Reverse: Features the Taxiarch Archangel Michael with his wings spread and his sword drawn, surrounded by a quote of T. Shevchenko's Haydamakys in Ukrainian which translates to "for us and souls of righteous men, and archistrategos Michael's strength."
I have been wanting to take a pic of one of these. I found one at the right price in is " mint capsule".
Popped it open and shot these today. think they turned out pretty decent.
I got both of these this week… I love the five dollar even though I’m getting rid of a slightly higher grade one I just like the look of this one better for some reason, and I also finished up my 2023 Morgan and peace set finally finding the Morgan in proof…

Great bar Asheland! Love the older poured JMs and Engelhards.
Thanks!
I went to a local coin shop owned by a friend of mine, didn’t expect anything like this to be in the case! It is quite a pleasant surprise and luckily, I had just enough on me to cover it!
But yes, I agree the old JM and Engelhard bars get me every time!

I think the Mayflower commerative is one of the best commeratives, modern or otherwise. Classic design.
Very cool. 😎

I never showed my other gold Britannia. The half ounce finally showed in the mail and I had the quarter ounce initially.
The picture captured this one very nicely:

And then, just by pure chance, the platinum ones came in the shop on Friday, so I grabbed one of the 1/10 ounce:
This just leaves me wanting the full ounce platinum, and I will then be satisfied with my little Britannia hoard.

Great bars! What does the writing in the circle top stamp say? I can’t make it out.
