The Three Graces join Una

1/4 Gold QB set arrived! Few hairs. Would have liked to see an 11 coin set with a centre completer surrounded by the 10 QB. Both my sliver sets have been delayed, so hoping they will send them soon. AAAAAAA.MOV

A new addition to the family, a Whippet puppy named Mink, much to the dismay of our existing Whippet, Fox who is taking his time to adjust. Anyway, I’ve taken time off work this week to help out settling in the new addition and it’s given me time to snap a photo or two. Today arrived the 10 coin Silver 1/4oz Reverse Frosted Beasts set. After regretfully flipping all my Gold and Silver Beasts over the last several years, this set is a lovely momento of the series. The latter two photos depict the meeting of the clan- the tiny Beasts alongside the Silver Proof 5oz, 2oz & 1oz Completer’s and the Proof 1oz Gold. All you Beast fans, enjoy! 😉

Been a lot overwhelmed with everything over the last month and finally had some time to present… A couple of excellent hand poured silver 2021 1 oz Silver TSF bars from @BackyardBullion! Also, the 2021 The Queen's Beasts Completer Two Ounce Silver Proof… And lastly, a touch of gold, with this unique, 1895 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle “Love Token”.

Few back from grade, this one being the star ⭐️ edit: Apologies for the slightly blurry photos! Camera maybe needed a wipe

Received these back during the week and thought id share before they went to the safe. Both beautiful in their own way, but the Unite is very pleasing. Sorry about the cropped photos of it, it is at the extremes of my lens and it was that or a blurry photo. Important coins from a short and interesting part of British history

I couldn' resist and had at least to get the 1/4 OZ QB Set. Was really afraid to see the quality. I have to say everything really fine, no spots. Just one little mark on the frosted area of the white horse coin. Nothing that makes me sad, i'm happy. Don't know if i hold them forever cause they are really small but i have not the nervs to take the risk for the 2 OZ set. But for now i play a little bit with them and the 5 OZ Completer

Quite the variety on this posting… The Queen’s Beasts 2021 Quarter-Ounce Silver Proof Ten-Coin Set. Overall in excellent condition. 2021 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Half-Ounce Silver Proof. As with others, this one has developed early onset spotting. 2021 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland One Ounce Silver Proof Colour. A 1913-M George V Gold Sovereign A 1925 George V Gold Sovereign An 1892-S $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle And lastly, a 2021 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle (Type 2)

I like the design of the George III Military Guinea, just very expensive so I'm happy to settle on this very nice example of a Half Guinea…

Gold Libertad 2020 ! I have other beautiful coins coming back from grading. Pictures coming later

This beauty arrived yesterday…! I dont have any of the beasts themselves, though couldn’t resist owning the completer. The design is just fab. Bullion is all I could stretch to for this!

@GreatBritishBullion @EuropaBullion Stunning, well done 🙂 Best budget silver coin on the market, hands down.

I just got some more sovereigns delivered from my favorite Greek sovereign dealer @SVcollector The bullion sovereign collection slowly getting there.

Fractional golden lunars.

Just received the 2019 1/2 Toz Gold Proof Libertad. Again a stunning coin if you ask me.

This arrived today. Proof edition of Britannia. Under £4K. Only 250 editions ever issued. Nice! .. next stop cool storage till I get a better offer!

Massive shout out to @Clockpuncher for this one. The 1997 1/4oz gold Britannia. That now concludes my collection of the 5 Philip Nathan Britannia designs. Was inspired by a comment by @Roy a while back to collect these. Lovely crenellated border design which brings them together as a collection

2021 5 Sov, matt BU. Nice touch to have the Pistrucci added, as well as the crown privy.

Finally got them back! Thanks @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions and @ChrisSilver

I actually received this yesterday. It slightly sad the the first rule of fight club gold stacking is never to talk about it, so I can't tell friends or neighbours. However, since I am excited about this, I thought I would add it here. My first ever 1oz gold coin: a QB Completer! Only bullion, but apart from some very minor scratches around the rim, whch I think are due to it rubbing against another coin in the tube, it looks perfect to me. I had been agonising about getting an ordinary Britannia, but I think this was worth the small extra cost in the grand scheme of things. 🙂

Recent grading results- The silver ones! It’s been a bigger submission than normal for me so I thought I’d give a shout out to Karl 1817 - The Modern Sovereign Collector for his help getting them graded. It’s taken a while to get them posted as I had the little matter of getting married last weekend 💒🥳. I think imho the design of the year is Gary Breeze design - 5oz silver QE2 95th Birthday. Glad to see that’s come back top pop. Anyone who hasn’t seen it up close, I’d recommend you do so. It’s a real standout. As I’ve mentioned to a few friends on the site, I think the diversity Britannia is great design too, perhaps second only to Gary Breezes above. It’s a coin which given its limited mintage and being the first 2oz silver Britannia, will be a key coin in the future...so I got a few. Many of which were bought from tsf members. Thanks for that 👍. Most came back 70 with a couple of 69s. I’ve posted just one for brevity. The other pics are of the two coin Britannia silver sets - the £2 silver reverse & proof Britannias. Im looking to pick up the reverses for 2016-2020, so if anyone wishes to sell theirs please get in touch. I’d also consider a swap should that be preferable. Anyway enjoy!

Now here is something to behold super super rare Nepalese 1 Ashrafi, Tribhuvana Bir Bikram Numista rarity 97 12 grams of stunning gold https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37040.html Only 3 graded in the world hoping when I send this it comes back as the finest Known example Simply sublime!

Got my 5oz proof back and perfect score 🙌.

10 2oz Silver Bullion Queens Beasts Completer..............Like bullion coins can handle and take photos without stressing of damaging What a stunning coin

2013 Silver Proof Britannia 5-Coin Collection Although this Britannia design is not high up on everybody's list, its simplicity makes it my own personal favourite. Actual mintage 3087. The set was an extremely reasonable price and, aside from a little hazing on the 1/10th and 1/20th ozt coins, was otherwise immaculate.

My first-ever coins tube + 2 very nice coins.

Bought this beauty. it’s a present for my daughter. Need to get a chain now.

A 1oz Gold Queens Beast Completer

Three coins back from grading this week. The two platinum proof Britannia’s did very well. The Sydney mint sovereign is a lovely coin and I did think it would do better than AU55.

Today in the post got my very first ever proof lib , and it’s a beauty of a boxed 3 coin proof set 😍😍😍😍😍

Two belting coins from @ilovesilverireallydo High grade 1898 1 pond south africa and a 1913 military wilhelm prussian 20 marks ( only produced two years in low mintages)

Added to my PF70 brits this morning, plus three very nice sovs from an Atkinsons lucky dip. 1910, 1907 Melbourne and a 1900 Perth! The PF70 2001 1/4 ounce is arriving tomorrow too!

Mandalorian Iron in custom made caps - many thanks to @Jamesd for helping to source & acquire these caps!

Today I received a set of Britannia, Eagle, Maple, Philharmonics, Kangaroo and Krugerrand from @GreatBritishBullion. I normally only stack Britannia for a store of wealth and collect others for my collection being from the UK. But I thought i would buy the ultimate beginners pack to give me a feel for the Eagle, Maple, Philharmonics, Kangaroo and Krugerrand which are the other popular stackers for storing wealth from around the world. They were a good variety at a good price. I must say I do love the look and feel and history of these iconic bullion from across the pond though my favourite is still the one closest to home!

Not so much a "today I recieved" but rather a small assortment of stuff a noob (such that I am) has manage to scrounge together these past 2 months. Only just getting started!

Received the 2oz QB silver proof Completer Coin. The capsule came loose in transit but thankfully the coin looks fine. Really love the design.

Received this beauty back from NGC Thanks @ChrisSilver and @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions!

Was interested to see how the 10oz Britannia looked up close so had to go and get one of course and then compare it to the 1oz.

Still supposed to be selling. Oh well. 1895 M and 1912 sovereigns to add to the collection.

My very first 1oz of gold piece. Hopefully more to come… suit’s my collection very well!

Lovely little 1887 proof sixpence

marsh R4 1848/over 7 not the best condition but certainly one of the best and clearly defined 8 over 7 I have seen

My first Gold Soveriegn purchased right here on TSF, a '58 1 Soveriegn. Many thanks to @Nick1368

Received a few coins back from PCGS today. I noticed that the Queen’s portrait on the obverse is not aligned to the reverse. Has anyone else seen the same die misalignment on this coin?

Ying and yang. Been lucky with the results lately, getting P(er)F(ect)70’s most of the time. Not sure which one I like best

2oz Completer received today from the Royal Mint . Lovely coin.

The Queen Elizabeth II 95th birthday strike on the day sovereign arrived today. Excellent as it’s just in time for the weekend.
