Holding steady at 1275-1280
There is a little momentum....

A bit of fun.  

For the next large TSF prize draw to advertise and bring awareness of the forum, which will be in around a month or two. Should we double the prize and have 2x 5oz silver bars up for grabs, 2 different winners each winning a 5oz silver bar. If you think we should then like this post. 

If this post gets 100+ likes we will give away 2x 5oz silver bars. (I have set this target deliberately low so that it is easily obtainable)

If this post reaches 200+ likes, we will add a small bonus  

100 oz of the 1 oz Rectangle Dragon 2021.
This design might become the most popular of the series so far imo.
1 oz gold version ordered as well.




 
 
 

3rd Royal Mint delivery of the week. Took the plunge. One for the future. They look great side by side. Off to grading they go!

Busy weekend so posting late for once haha,
a beautiful 2019 lunar pig and a 2013 Canadian antelope both received from @5huggy for an amazing deal and both in great condition.
a awesome collection of 2017 libertad’s ranging from sizes 1/20 up to 1/2 oz , a 2020 Australian brumby and a 2020 Australian kookaburra 30th anniversary coin both in mint condition. Thanks to @Chrispringle85
 
a beautiful 2019 Australian Perth mint dragon 1oz coin/bar fallen in love with these may need to purchase a tube in the future, thanks to @Jamesd
and last and not least a 2020 half sovereign in its bullion packaging still thanks to @Gypsy
 

1st of a few 2021 Britannia orders arrived this morning, the 2oz premium silver. This design seems to have divided opinion but I really like it and think it will prove to be a key coin in years to come. 550 minted which is pretty tiny for a silver coin. Off to grading this will go

My 2005 haul over the past week or so. My thanks to @Pete @BullionMan89 @Clockpuncher for the help in sourcing most of the items here. Top guys. 👍
No thanks to the useless Royal Mail who took 6 days to deliver 1st class post. 👎



 

One regular from 'forum favourites' H&B and my first Double from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer  - with extra pics demonstrating the importance of getting the 'right' light when photographing gold!

Really nice 2021 Canadian Peace Dollar Reverse Proof. Georgeous little lady...

A few lumps for the stack - thanks to @arshimo2012 and @Spence098

Was looking to add another sovereign to the stack, but since all seemed to be sold out I found a double sovereign available at @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer.
Off to NGC to give it a proper dwelling!

And my 3rd purchase this week which complements my earlier purchase nicely was one I’ve wanted for a while. Picked it up in the @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Shout out to @Clockpuncher and @Elements for alerting me to its availability. Definitely my new favourite coin in my collection and quite possibly the best sovereign ever. I think its only right I get the 2SOV to keep them company no?

Fingers crossed it’s a 70 😊

Cracking pair in from USA 
Firstly emptyo bar. Just love this one 
And another to my vintage movie star pin ups collection a stunning 2oz marilyn monroe. May be a little to saucey for some 😂😂
 

Both of these came quicker than I expected. One RM and one Atkinsons.
I seem to have acquired a few proofs despite setting out as a bullion man 😳

I got this little beauty today... thanks @DuncanWylieWilson :-).. a Star

My first gold piece showed up today, though it's a bit... small...

Received the next day after ordering, these seem to be quite popular.
Now i’ll say prayers before bed that I don’t get any junk mail. 😬 😂
 

Technically yesterday but had to collect 1 sovereign from a friends house.
Nice to add to the stacks! 

Received today from Harrington & Byrne. £299 Sovereign.

Another great buy thanks to @arshimo2012 . 

A great story and amazing coincidence
I remember my Grandad telling me loads of people sold these for melt in the fifties and sixties when silver was worth something and times were hard
I still have his medals in a box where they will stay until they get handed down to my kids hopefully never to be sold
