Thanks buddy, glad to be getting back into things. You have probably seen most of these on your thread elsewhere. I’ll try and post a few more when I can.

 

Here is a piece that I just picked up yesterday.

 

Breathtaking piece!

 

My favorite Bullion coin besides the ASE is the Australian Kookaburra:

 

This 2 oz Silver octagonal pays tribute to an iconic design in American coinage, the Panama-Pacific $50 Gold; rendered as a compliment to the original design.

• Obverse: Features a left-facing bust of Minerva, the Roman goddess wearing a crested helmet, the date appears in Roman numerals at the top of Minerva’s shield. “IN GOD WE TRUST” is seen above Minerva’s head, with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” around the upper circumference of the coin and “TWO TROY OUNCES” around the bottom.
• Reverse: A depiction of an owl perched on a Ponderosa Pine, surrounded by cones. The beaded border is repeated again on the reverse, separating the central design from the legends, “PANAMA PACIFIC EXPOSITION” and “SAN FRANCISCO” on around the periphery. “E PLURIBUS UNUM” can be seen to the right of the Owl, with “.9999 FINE AU” below. The “S” mint mark is just right of the cone below

 

In celebration of the opening of the Panamá Canal, the City of San Francisco hosted the Panamá-Pacific Exposition. In commemoration of the event, the United States Mint struck a variety of both Silver and Gold coins which included a $50 round and $50 octagonal. Apart from Patterns and semi-official Territorial Gold coins, the United States had never issued a $50 Gold piece

 

2 oz Silver High Relief Round - Sons of Liberty, Liberty Tree

Prior to the American Revolution, there were many instances and individuals who were passionately involved in the protection of the Thirteen American Colonies. One such organization that was created was the Sons of Liberty, a secret society formed to fight taxation by the British government, playing a major role in the Stamp Act in 1765.

As a formal underground organization, the Sons of Liberty promoted a unified inter-Colonial effort resisting taxes and laws whose motto became “No taxation without representation”. They would often issue anonymous summons to a “Liberty Tree” for public meetings with well-known organizers and leaders such as Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and the now infamous traitor Benedict Arnold.

 

2021 Saint Helena 1.25 oz Silver Seated Britannia




Issued by the East India Company, the Seated Britannia Silver coin is a unique tribute to both British and colonial history. This coin series, first introduced in recent years, draws inspiration from historical coinage that circulated in British-controlled territories, particularly India, during the 19th century. The design of Britannia seated beside a shield is a classic icon that symbolizes British strength, maritime prowess, and its expanding empire.

The coin's design hearkens back to the British Trade Dollar, which circulated from 1895 to 1935 in British territories across Asia, including India, Hong Kong, and the Straits Settlements. The East India Company, instrumental in Britain's colonial endeavors, issued the currency that represented British commerce and influence in the region. The Seated Britannia figure on these coins is adapted from that history, now representing a modern collector's piece honoring the legacy of trade and empire.
