2017 1/50th ounce proof Krugerrand - PF70 UCAM Thanks to @ZRPMs. Purchased to both break my personal record for the smallest coin in my collection, and as a photography challenge. I've used the microscope to take these pics, since as you can see, the coin is less than 10mm diameter. I will try with the macro SLR rig some time this week, to see if I can a more arty picture. Remarkable a coin this size can be created at all, let alone it achieve the highest grade.

Over the moon to get my hands on the Maundy Money gold set. Stunning coins

Apologies for the potato pics, but this is a rarity to behold! One of only eight 1/10oz gold standards in the hands of the filthy public?

I really love silver and I believe in its potential. I have been attracted from beginning, my first piece of silver ever bought was a teaspoon from a charity shop. Then few high premium ounces (yes, beginner's mistake). I have started collecting and stacking for few years, I have changed in time my stacking habits, until I've been happy with the balance I've found, to satisfy my appetite without destroying my budget. Now, in my stack I have gold and silver in various shapes and purities, trying to keep approximately the same value, so ratio 1:1 gold vs silver. Because everything is going to my daughters and my granddaughter, I am happy. The precious metals I am buying and keeping will not offer me a retirement in Tenerife, but will offer me a peace of mind about a financial insurance for my children and grandchildren.

To finish things off and thanks to @paulmerton for flagging this one, the 1/10 Gold Standard on sale at Royal Mint (looks like I got the final one) 👍🏼

Hi, coin jumped out of capsule and on to tiled floor 😁 posted RMSD ( either cheap stacking or melting pot )

and thanks to @HB1 for this one🤔👍

A few very special items. Australian Gold nuggets 10g, 5.66g and 3.99g and also a killer JM bar with a super low mintage of just 2k ever made and even less thought to still be around as a large number were melted down

Big thanks to @Clockpuncher

A trio of mammoths today via @Adamcahn Lovely design on these ones and hopefully the ice age series will continue longer than the creatures ones did!

Also the 1/2 OZ unreleased Gold Standard bullion from Trial of the Pyx. Premium price but not too bad compared to other RM offerings especially as only 6 of them in existence.

Thanks to @KROfor this slightly unexpected little package

Finally got my hands on this 1/2 ounce Pyx Gold Standard. I was expecting the coin to look a bit of a mess but I'm pleasantly surprised!

Out into town today 🤔😮 back to the usual pawn shop for a little gold …. 😮not quite spot, but still under £200. The boss has told the staff to stop giving me discounts 🤔😮😕 very, very cheap crown from elsewhere (need a box for a better one I have)🤔

Postie has finally been… 2022 half proof sovereign to get stashed away and 3 more bullion sovereigns for the stack! I’m happy with that

Finally received my 2 Oz Gold G&D coin. Had a decent look and all seems good quality wise... thankfully

Another 2018 plain edge SOTD sovereign added to the next batch to send to @GoldDiggerDave

Finally managed to pick this one up from the post office today - they are a lot more choosy with leaving parcels on the doorstep than they used to be (which is probably just as well…). A cracking 20 oz Scottsdale kitkat bar, courtesy of @Tn21 - thank you 🙏

A little pic of what I've managed to pick up thus far, Less my recent ones. Just to try to inspire folk to part with their cherished sovereigns.

Something pretty special. Had been on the look out for a pig for sometime but this is something a bit extra. A special thank you to @paulmerton This will be a cherished item in my collection.

Got my stackers and Silver art back on my shelf......

All present and accounted for. No damage, despite the jingle jangle of the package things were at least not rolling around completely loose. Got this letter from them in the package too. Joke.

SOLD!

Some perfect Maklouf's dropped off today. Can't beat these 1980's QEII portrait's.

Also had this nice arrival from @lxy70713 The late QEII's 95th birthday anniversary. Cheers Daniel for this 1/4oz beauty.

This week's deliveries. A tube of ASEs from @PercyItsGreen 2 ASEs from @bobski 2 ASEs from @ZEE123 And finally 3 Tudor beasts from @Fenlander1

With all this intelligent technical and fundamental talk going on, I thought I should contribute: D'yah like my new mug? 😬
