1/2oz in omp,Picked it up at normal bullion price, sweet 

today I received, a 1918 Bombay (I) mint sovereign
 
 

Received over the last week - from different sellers: proof Britannias from 2011, 2013 and the much maligned 2017.  Wanted to work back from the iconic 2014 design.  Must say I love the 2011 almost as much as the 2014.  The 2013 is a tough one to get in good condition in that shiny big field - so quite happy with that one. Each one for less than the £85 that the RM sell them for so good bargains can still be found on eBay.  
Then two nice florins - 1929 and 1931 as I am trying to get all the George V dates.  Love the proportions and design of this beautiful old coin.

For Sale will be 1 of each of the following, PM me if interested..

2018 1/4oz gold Queens Beasts Unicorn MS69

2017 1/4oz Gold BU Libertad MS69

This weeks pickups , a 2005 half sovereign from @Sovereign  3 x Rwanda Lunar Dogs , and two lucky dip full sovereigns and a half sovereign .

Bought my first old US gold from the local coin shop. Seeing the great condition and a fair price it was an easy decision. I know nothing about coin grading but the shop keeper was certain it is not cleaned and thinks it would grade MS65-66. Also what I noticed when looking the coin in detail is that the top part of the nose looks 'broken' or 'missing'. If I have done my research right, this is actually a known variety 4-F. Hopefully there will be a chance to get it graded one day.

1870 Australia one sovereign. Don´t know what it would be worth in its current condition, but I don´t think I did too bad paying the same as the cheapest ´normal´ sovereign.


 
 

Treated myself
 

25 shields, all 1840s. More worn than other years but at the price paid is to be expected. Few nicer ones though and some different variations. 
Haveanother 30 on order so hopefully some rarer overstates etc to come!

10 shields random years, ok condition still have to go through these and the other batch
 

Shields!
Not sure what is going on with the lighting (phone camera pic) but none of them are black like the edges ones look ?
Yet to sort through but they are all very nice, a few cleaned but that's it. 35 more to come tomorrow!

Some new gold  -  the 2017 Libertad 1/4 gold proof, two 1/4 gold QB Unicorns, and then a nice older 0.917 gold piece - the 1930 Uruguay centenary 5 pesos.  I bought two QB Unicorns as I was hoping to get one perfect one to grade, but although it’s too detailed to see in the photos one has a nick on the unicorn and the second has a nick on the usual spot on the Queens neck. So as I am really after an MS70 (greedy ...I know) , I may not actually send either of them in at all to NGC??
Then some silver for the stack: 12 QB unicorn 2 ounce coins (love the new background design on the Queens  side), and a nice 2000 Britannia and a new 1 oz silver bar for me, being a Geiger.
looking at both the unicorn gold and silver QBs compared to the others in the series, must say the unicorn is my second favourite, behind the Lion.
