Hello stack!  😁 I've missed you 
PF70 memorial five sovereign dropped off today. Seven now, may as well go the whole hog and go for ten I suppose 

1986 silver eagle proof from the San Francisco mint
2020 silver eagle proof from the San Francisco mint 
1st and last coins minted in that design from the San Francisco mint.
1986 coin looks like it has milk spotted which is a shame 

I have been building a collection of half sovereigns for many years now. A significant coin that I have always had an eye out for is a 1918-P. Marsh has this as an R3 with a ‘not known’ mintage figure, but the experts estimates are set at around 250. PCGS also notes the mintage as 250.
So to find one in mint state in an old antique shop at a good price was, I think, a once in a lifetime event. In fairness, I explained to the shop owner that their price was ridiculous and talked through what I would be willing to pay. I had to sell bullion to cover the costs but in the end the shop owner and I were happy. For me karma is important and part of buying and selling coins is honesty and integrity.
To get the grade back as MS64 was a significant moment for me. Especially as I had only recently bought a NGC example in MS63 that I had been planning on sending for cross over. No need now!
The coin arrived yesterday via FedEx and I am overjoyed to have this join the collection. 
 

Got a quite a lot coming in the post/Graded so might as well show some bits off now. While Gold went to the moon I played with my silvers bits.

@Petra It's mainly the special reverse I like although I have got two standard doubles,  I love the doubles great size for seeing the beauty of the coin.
 

Spanish caballo cartajano also available from Bullion by post. Mine arrived today to meet up with its lynx and toro pals.  Beautiful reverse proof finish. Beats the royal mint proof quality in my view, with a much lower premium than the R. M. Proofs. Lovely coins!

El Toro and Mr Cat have a new friend 

Here are the contacts for Nuie, feel free to ask them 

Something a little special and hard to come by. 5 of the 6 y2k privy coins. The Britannia seems to be a one off.
 
Had originally planned on keeping only the Brit and Panda but think I will search the Liberia out to complete the set. If anyone has a spare please do give me a shout  

Some bits that have come over the last 2 day's 

Another nice double sovereign from a forum member. 
 

Not everyone's cup of tea but looks better in hand & a nice addition to a small collection...

All aboard the Atkinsons 10oz train. 😂 Thanks to @BackyardBullion for the ticket! 
 
 

Last sovereign 1965 received today ( actually a couple days ago, but let's pretend it's today )for the set of ten Gillick years.

Happy, got my hands on a 1997 Britannia set, means getting ever closer to completing my 1oz Brit date run, now just missing 1999, 2000, 2010
 

A few goodies today.
Thanks to Atkinsons and @BackyardBullionfor making it possible.
