I was planning to do the regular silver unboxing but silly me forgot to take a photo of the mail before opening itπ
So let's see all those fresh goodies Mr mailman brought me today directly !
A closer look to all the silver treasures π€π₯
First, we have my first ever silver coin from Italy, a 500 Lire:
The coin depicts the three ships of Christopher Columbus's ships, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. I bet @kerrislravenhill would love to have one of these coins, if she doesn't already have a dozen or soπ
When it comes to silver, we have 11 g of .835 purity. Not bad!
Next, three sexy eagles from Germany!
3 x 10 German marks, minted in 1972 commemorating various events that I will cover in future posts. Each piece is 15.5 g with a purity of 0.625. Not great not terrible π₯²
Ok, we got Europe covered. The next chunky box comes from Canada and it's one sexy beast!
A 2000 proof set of coins.
Front and back:
Let's open this bad boy up:
Nice leather like cover!
Let's open that too π
Just look at all these beautiful coins πππππ I already have a couple of them, but most are new additions for my collection. Sweet!
And as the included prospectus informs us...
Six out of the 8 of them is made out of 0.925 silver! Sweeeeeeeet!
And most of them features animals, my favorite type of coins π
Ok frens, that's it for today's. I'll do some follow up posts on all the fresh additions so stay tuned!
