Heirlooms

Thanks. I started collecting proofs just after the Una so I missed out on that then I had the 2oz Three Graces in my cart which then disappeared when I tried to pay 😩. I did get the Gothics but the 2 coin set approach and my OCD of not getting the 1st two made me move them on. The only one I’d add to my collection would be the Una which I’ll never be able to afford but one can dream 💭 

Thanks. My initial focus was bullion but I then moved into (the right) proofs as the price is de-tethered from the spot price. My split currently is approximately 33% bullion 67% proofs

Thanks. The 2oz completer is a site to behold. Not many modern designs that can rival it, definitely no original design I've seen, maybe the 2014 Britannia (both designed by Jody Clark). The Una, Three Graces, 2017 sov and 1989 sov are great designs but they're remasters of previous coins. 

Started seriously stacking/collecting gold just over 3 years ago and breached the 1KG level late last year. The forum has been a massive part of this journey, @ChrisSilver I thank you for creating the community and the work you put in daily to cultivating a thriving environment, long may it continue. Started with silver, then moved onto bullion gold and proof coins thereafter. There's also a bunch of others to thank for the help, guidance, advice, encouragement and inspiration to make it to this point (I'm sure I've left out a load of other peeps):

With the lovely weather of the bank holiday weekend I felt like sharing my collection so here it is. I took a load of pretty pics before putting everything back in lock up. I think I've accumulated a decent collection. I have a few outliers that I'll most probably sell on the forum at some point which are not part of below so keep a look out. I also may part with the bullion Britannia set (feel free to drop me a message if you're interested).
What next? I feel I have enough from an investment portfolio for now but I may start to pick up a few key older sovs, we'll see. Let me know what you think and thanks to you all again:

Tell you what, I'm normally far too tight for proofs but these two half's were bang on the money. More than happy with these.

Thank you @Thomast yet another small one😮🤔

Thanks to @Orpster for this 57, slowly building up a collection of family members birth date sovereigns. 
Next on the hit list are 1985, 1988 and 1989. 😅🤑
And something equivalent in 1960? 🤔 Might have to go to South Africa for that one. 

A little something in the post today. 

Two arrivals this morning, a 2019 Valiant and a 2022 Perth Mint Brumby. Both courtersy of @theman73.
Just the 2020 Valiant to get and I'll have completed a mini date run.

Got my first 1/40 today lol love it, the detail they can get in such a tiny space.. 🤯

Small … very small, but it’s a Britannia!😮🤔😮(and it’s gold😮😮)

Thanks to @Thomast for the quarter sovs (all being decarded shortly, bound for the quarters tin) and to @LiquidMetalsUK for the amazing pirate treasure ‘cobs’ plus a couple other bits from off site

I love birds - so this lovely set of Belize coins from @CoinCupboard is perfect.
It is fifty years old and in fantastic condition.

Bit of a James Bond week.  Both 1980s and 1990s turned up this week.
2024 Six Decades of 007 - 1980's - Silver 2oz and Gold 1/4oz proofs
Octopussy's Acrostar Microjet - actually a real flying jet aircraft.
These two coins turned out to be spotless - a little spot of missing frosting here and there, as usual, but no contact marks.  Although, as shown in the previous microscope photos, the gold 1/4 has a 'wire edge' or 'wire rim' (terms vary) apparently caused when the gold is forced around the edge during the strike.

Another solitary shield arrived today, bought on Bookface
 

Just been in to town …. local pawnshop deal(s), both cheaper than on here!😮😮🤔

Another lovely double from @Thomast
PO weren't delivering yesterday. 

Received today from @James32Gillick. One of my favourite Sovs. Cheers mate.

Received today from @ArgentSmith Great condition—more for the collection. Big thanks.

If you know, you know...
BND267 party time!

I got a #1! 

Took many years but thanks to this forum (  @RDHC @Auronum @Brit2023 @ilovesilverireallydo @Zhorro) managed to achieve the QE2 .999 Brit run and all at pretty much spot! Only possible on TSF!
