Trilogy complete. This is the first release of the 3 coins. My personal favourite 😀

Now something a little special. Firstly a massive shout out to @artincoins. I ordered these from him on friday from canada and they were on my door step today. A quite exceptional collection of coins. These 2 plus the 3rd in the series which I have managed to source today which was hard work to say the least. With a mintage of only 500 I feel these coins reflect our generation very well. They are an outstanding addition to my collection. Hope u enjoy 😃😃 
Also a shout out to @AndrewSL76 for putting me in touch with michael.

That’s all folks! 
I’m done for a long, long while in terms of significant purchases.  But what a way to finish.  

Thank you so much to @terakris for taking the risk initially on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Sovereign Set and then for grading them and in turn providing me the opportunity to buy 😄 
Tiny mintages on the 2012 Sovereigns and only 295 four coin Sovereign Sets produced 😮 
The 2017 200th Anniversary Piedfort Sovereign also from Kris.  Thank you also to all who bought my Silver Libertads which helped fund purchasing these beautiful Sovereigns 👍

Sydney mint 1906 half sovereign, bought this raw from Australian eBay. Came back from PCGS AU58 which looks about right. 

Recent addition, picked up a couple, an extra one for my daughter and her love of horses! A Perth Mint 2020 1 oz Silver Australian Brumby BU!


 

This 2019 Matte sovereign was one I minted at the Royal Mint VIP tour last September. PCGS thought I did a reasonable job and graded it MS70. 

5 normal halves today. Makes a change from shields 😀😀

Just in... Elton John 1oz. Very nice coin! Limited to 7,500. 

I love the colour, makes it pop! 
 

Bought it to flip, but its really nice so keeping it! 😮😄
 

This heavy beast arrived today, to look after the Kilo Aztec Calendar 😆 

2 more halves to the collection

Really nice. 

2010 Silver Proof 1oz Kangaroo at Sunset
This gem is my tenth of twelve needed for a complete set and is the last of the three such proof designs. It is the rarest "Sunset" with just 3,500 of the 5,000 limit actually minted.
The condition is pretty-much immaculate and has been captured extremely professionally by @CadmiumGreen without the need to open the capsule. The detailing on the kangaroo itself is exquisite.

Buying proof's without seeing is always risky....
I got very lucky with the 82s 

Arrived in better quality than expected, to be honest...but alas, like others, no COA...An exquisite 2020 5 oz Silver 007 Proof!!

And cheers to @Cornishfarmer for the Disney proofs - immaculate 👌 

Thanks to a post earlier, I just bought this for the Mrs. Best of all, she liked it that much she paid! Bonus!

Thanks @arshimo2012 for furthering my stamp collection 👍 😅


But more importantly, for this beautiful Sovereign three coin set.  The Gillick, Machin & Maklouf Portraits are my favourite of Her Majesty- even Maklouf’s stylistically engraved initials on the bust are a marvel and worth a closer look.  
 
Thanks again Ash 😁

Couldn't resist.

Got these 1/10 royal arms, was going to sell them but decided I like them too much!! Also this cute little replica eagle. Just under 1gm 22ct. 

2 more for the folder
These New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea) shillings have been on my radar for a while now. Only struck in 4 years with 2 monarchs, George V in 1935 and 1936 and George VI in 1938 and 1945. Standard circulating coinage struck in .925 (which in 1945 I think was one of the last countries to do this!)
Unique design and the only world silver coin I have with a hole in the middle!
That's my first country completed too
