Just a simple wee addition to the stack today and continuing the series.
Superb service from Martin at Silvertrader as always.
Coin is immaculate, all the wee blemishes are on the capsule 😊

Another little indulgence from Germania mint - Knights of the Past Malta.  In many ways I prefer these to Germaina's gilded and technicolour offerings.  If Malta were to mint Euros with Templars on the reverse I'd be ever so happy.

Fun fact: I had sheep's brains for dinner in Malta once and bought a bottle of prickly pear liqueur.
 

Only been stacking a couple of months and had a memory of my parents giving me a half sovereign when i was a kid, had no idea where it would be.  Been searching for it for a few days now and today i finally managed to find it in some old files... so today i kind of got a freebie and found a coin that I first looked at about 35 years ago.
 

Did mention in a previous post that I would show a comparison of why you buy the coin and not the slab. These 2 1911 proof florin coins are nearly the same grade but the eye appeal imo isn’t even close. It makes you think do we need a CAC equivalent in the UK. Just for the record the toned one is 65+ and the one with a cameo (but not graded cameo) is a 66. 

Season 3 is coming February 2023, so I got some new Mandalorian prey. Great looking Bo Katan proof and a bullion IG-11
This is the way...

Had to take down my photo set-up to go shoot at a movie premiere (yes, I am that cool).  Anyway, it's back now.
Thanks to:
@James32 and eBay for the proof Tudor Beasts (yes, bargain Lion in good condition on eBay, who knew?). @jackflash123 for the Rwanda silver (much delayed in the post, thanks Royal Mail). @fiveshotdon for the excellent Sovereign (final year Gillick).

First pair of double Sovereigns arrived from Chards this afternoon. Think these might become a firm favourite. Lovely looking coins. Thank you @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer (You’ll probably want Dave’s photos for publicity as opposed my poor man’s attempt 😀)

Also arrived today was my first double sovereigns, both 2022 courtesy of @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer.
I'm looking forward to winning the prize draw too @LawrenceChard👍

Through the generations...Vic to George.
Has these arrive more than a few days ago but only now time to get some family happy snaps. Also my first Sydney Mint sov which I was quite chuffed with.
Thanks to @ShlomoGoldberg a member of TSF and Silver Stackers in Aust for these lovely additions to my sov stack.

Also purchased from Shlomo, this delightful sov holder. Naturally some wear on the exterior due to age, but the opening clip and internal spring both still solid and working...I thought, well if you are going to stack sov's, why not have a sov holder too.

As requested by @Orpster, the sheild (and St George) reverses of the Sovereigns that we traded on.

Off out on the boat this arvo... Hope I don't lose such a beauty of a coin

Got this from the coin connection for a very reasonable price ( sub £500 )
There are still (relative) bargains to be had out there.

I'd decided to collect this series long before the events of last thursday. Still waiting for the final one from RM, but they tell me there will be a delay due to a world silver shortage?
By the way, the detail in the medals on the reverse is quite impressive

Big thanks to @ArgentSmith @GoldDiggerDave @P3T3R and a mystery dealer for today's arrivals 😃

Recieved today a stunning 4 sovereign set all graded NGC 70 Ultra Cameo 
The double is simply a thing of beauty 
RIP your majesty I will hold your coins with pride, her death affected me more than I had ever thought so felt compelled and managed to secure at a non arse penetrating price

A clutch of Young Head Queen Victoria Sovereigns from @Orpsterarrived today! A ice kick start to my collection!!

Two Gillicks and an Indian walk into a bar....................................
Well not quite but it'd be a sight to see....
A few lovely sovs arrived today thanks to @Chrispringle85. My phone and lighting do not do these sov's any justice...In lovely condition and a great addition to sov stack.

 
 

After a long wait, finally arrived today. I love this beautiful series. 5oz Black Flag The Rising Sun and its little brother as well as a few other beauties. Have a great week and love from Maxe.

@DrDave Thanks👍
Recieved these 2020s today.  Scratch itched.
Must resist any more coins for now as im off to Goodwood Revival on friday and need some spending money for that.
 
 
 

Payment details for what, you buying it off me lol

Just pulled it out the safe for a picture 
What do you think

Arrivals from the last couple of days:
The 1918i and 1895m from @Nick1368 1876s from @Sh97if and the 1877s/78s/79s shield sovereigns were from Atkinsons 

 

 

I've been slow to post here, since coming back from holiday last week.  I will try to catch up over the next few days.  I'll start with these...

Had this fantastic 2021 1oz silver libertad delivered today from @Domo. He was kind enough to reach out after noticing I was on the look out for one and I'm pleased as punch to have another matching silver to pair up with a 1/10th. 7 more to go to finish the set. 

Finally took the plunge and bought my first Sovereign after some converations with @GoldDiggerDave. 
This one scratched a few itches, as its gold, a sovereign and an older coin. A great deal with @Nick1368thank you.
I had a 2022 arrive today, but missed the postie, so i'll have to wait until tomorrow now
