Lovely couple of shields (43 & 57) from @vicamy and a 1/4 Lib from elsewhere 

Just added four pence to my savings, these have the same grade which really annoys me, one looks like end of life/run strike ,on the Obverse, plus a strike through  by the W on the other.
Plastic cost money.       

Big thanks to @1stsovereign

The 1919 ticks another date off. I've just a 1924 to get now for George Vs 

My 1st 1oz Gold coin and im blown away with it. Sadly its already hidden away and not on show.

Hope you get a good one.  Mine looks fine, as you can see from avatar.  In case you haven’t seen photos already posted elsewhere, here’s a couple….

1/4oz arrived today - really nice coin, can't see any obvious faults - well done RM!

The EIC Masterpiece collection is fantastic. The Una is absolute stunning, portrait, arms and 3G also great. The graces could have more relief, looking a little bit flat. And the milk spot on the 3G is propably also a homage to the RM coin.
First it was just an alternative to the Engravers, because I missed Una. But now I like the EIC Masterpiece a lot and will continue. And the St. George issue looks to be like a holy handgrenade, I always wanted to have. I'm truly thinking about burning a lot of nice colored paper for a 1 Kilo antique finished coin, must look crazy with a 100mm diameter. The details looks to be amazing on this one.

Just ordered a few silvers to slab, this is the joy of this hobby just buying the coins you like rather than always stressing about future value.    The antique colour on the 1kg looks nice would l have liked that on the 1oz. 
 
I also got a few masterpiece 3 graces from them, specification wise it’s closer to the original 3G than the modern 2oz’s and looks more like a proper coin than a medallion. 

@GoldenGriffin this is my EIC double sov. Not fantastically commercial. But I will argue with anyone who says it’s not a stunner.   The Obverse leaves a little to be desired. 
 
it’s has the original legend and shield of arms where the 89 does not.  I like what they try and do with some of their coins.

No argument from me, mate.
I might have to get mine graded.

nothing special today, just a few oz of AG


 

Gooooooold, from @Spyder

Just got 2 more sovereigns from @Sh97if, a 1958 and a 1963. Beautiful colour on these older sovereigns whereas the newer sovereigns look more like shiny 1 pence pieces to me. Probably why I prefer 999 gold coins but these older sovereigns have definitely turned my head.
They look like gold should look.

Finally received my graded 2022 Memorial to complete my graded collection of sovereigns with designs that were available for one year only. Unless I’ve missed any out I now have all 10. Nice round number so I think I might stop here (until the next one 😩🤣)

I feel like this one went under the radar, a wonderful proof like gillick sovereign
 
 

Anything should be better than this beauty

I got more chance in Prince Andrew getting a job as a headmaster 🙄

Ah the carotid artery leech therapy mint error. You've hit the big leagues now
