introduce myself

Thank you for admitting to this interesting forum that I have already read a bit about.

I've been investing in the well-known silver and gold investment coins for some time now, spreading my savings risks a bit.
I once built a Juliana and Wilhelmina collection in the 1970s. The two full books have gone to my son and grandchildren. Actually, I didn't think about collectibles anymore.
As a child I was already crazy about the silver Rijksdaalders and recently I received a beautiful silver Juliana as a gift. So it started to itch again to start building a small collection of silver Rijksdaalders. My goal was to get one Rijksdaalder from each monarch.
I now have:
1961, 1930, 1862, 1847.
The last purchase (it was hard to swallow :unfused: ) is a Willem I, 1840. (see image)
I am very happy with this because it completes the silver Rijksdaaldervorstenhuis. So a mini collection.

Got some oldies there looks good

WOW, those are beautiful and no doubt extremely difficult to obtain. Well done. You can breath now that your set is complete.

Ive always loved Silver and wanted to have a nice collection of coins and bars etc. But a few years ago, i would ask myself, how i was gonna afford to buy silver bars, coins etc. Every few months i can now afford to buy and collect a few coins from the silver trader uk, and was all ways happy with what i got.

My next purchase is gonna be the Lord of the rings Boromir coins 🤩🤩

Especially the oldest one was hard to get in good quality. The circulation was only 44376 in 1840.

hello everyone , been collecting for a along time, i was that kid dragged around coin fairs with dad and a list of what ever he was after next. now adays its  mostly silver, well anything i like. i would say its just coins but have you seen the korean stacker shields.
coins has always been my main collecting addiction, i did defer to banknotes for a while , always go back to coins

Hi @tray .Those stacker shields are wonderful. I've been hooked.

me too, just waiting on the new one

Which one? There's the Peninsula and the Shield of Henri II.

shield Henry II, what is the peninsula. up till last week never heard of any of them, i now have 3, thats why i never have any money

@tray  I've put in a link below to the AgAu site, which shows the peninsula. I take it you know about the Persona Mask.
