Today received a few more coins to go into my old silver coin date run collection 😁

Another eBay win arrived today, a 1893 Maundy Set presented in its dated case.  Very nicely toned and have not been messed around with over the last 128 years.  What a sweet little Set of Silver coins these are.  

And my outstanding Royal Mint order is now complete.  
 




 

Like busses - My Atkinsons "lucky dip' bullion sovs turned up today (took a while) along with my 1oz gold and silver Una & the Lion bars from RM. Lucky dip consisted of 2X 2014 (as minted) , 1X 1902 Edward VII (ok-worn-ex jewellery), and an ok 1931 George V.  

Did I say no more gold this year? Whoops

Not received today, but just had my camera out. Griffin together with Yale are my favourite QB design.
 
 
 
 

Received my first Full Sovereigns today! Every time(twice 😀) I buy gold the price plummets! Lovely coins though - I’m well chuffed with these!!!

Nothing special just a couple more to my 1/10s collection and the sovereign date run.
Went for a slightly more expensive Somalia elephants as I liked the 2 facing each other, the Sov is plain boring I guess but the gaps get fewer in my goal.

Lovely untouched 1951 Festival of Britain Set arrived today, not a scrap of Silver in sight, just Copper, Brass & Nickel but my favourite arrival of the week.  Thanks to @Becca for the lovely Half's and also my Son and his Girlfriend posted over to me their Silver Three Graces  in preparation for Grading.  The Silver does complement my other Son's Gold.  I'm still waiting for my Silver to turn up 🙄
 


 




 

Speechless...

While I am waiting for my Three Graces to come, I have decided to grade my silver Unas and they all came as PF69 but no PF70 unfortunately , but this is nice to have all my Unas   
 

 
I have also graded my 1995 LD 1/4oz gold Panda, grabbed at bullion price
 
 
 
And probably the most rare Krugerrand ever minted with only 60 proof coins minted in 1980. with an honorable PF66. 
 

 

Got the coins today. Massive props to sharps Pixley! Ordered yesterday, got the coins today. 
I asked for a random sov, and a QE2 pre decimal sov. 
Got a 1980, and a 1965, both pretty much uncirculated. For £308, and £311.
They send them free too, special delivery. In slips, in a nice large velvet bag. 
Highly recommended. 

Second sovereign of the year, this one from the Britannia Coin Company's 'lucky dip' (aka best value) pile - as my last one from Chard's was a '58, we're on a (very) mini date run for the year!

30th Birthday today and the Mrs pulls this one out the bag...
1991 the year I was born.
My first proof double.
Girl done good 🙌
😍

This is TLT (30 year US bonds) and Gold
If bond yields continue to go up expect gold to come down
I wouldn't be shocked if it comes down another 5-10% in the next few months but who knows, will depend on the new normal - how well the vaccines seem to work and how optimistic people are on global economy recovery
I personally think at some point this year an event will happen or a signal will appear that things aren't going to get back on track and that's when gold will kick on but who knows

 

Baby silver but a great story. Now I've found out about Douro sovs I wouldn't mind one of them as well.
 

1997 Britannia, the 1st special reverse in gold, lovely classic design. Been on the hunt for one of these for a while, arrived mint sealed. Now have the 5 Phillip Nathan designs! Will send this off for grading

Picked up this lovely set of world landmarks 0.5gm each. Not sure how many I am missing but pretty cool

I have just discovered a new dealer for me to buy from (In Geneva), and boy am I happy to have found him.

Really good prices, goods better than described, and great communication. Two new Una Libras for the collection:-
A superb looking 1962

And an extremely rare 1926 (only two graded by NGC)

 
 

And finally to top it all off I managed to get this hard to find beauty. A 1/2 oz 2014 silver bu mexican libertad 😍

Many thanks to @arshimo2012 and @Jimmock for these little uns.
 

My stack and collection mainly consists of classic designs. Colourised/non traditional designs have never really been for me. The only thing that makes me stray outside of this...Black Panther.
Massive thank you to @StackSellRepeat for this one. Waiting for another Black Panther “coin” to arrive in the next week or so. Starting to build a little collection!

Morning/afternoon people,
delighted to take delivery today of a 1kg silver bar from @arshimo2012 and to say I’ve fallen in love is an understatement. 😍

Recent arrivals for the collection...
A lovely 2021 1/4 oz Gold Queen’s Beast Griffin of Edward III Proof...



Next up, a 2021 Niue 1 oz Silver Icons of Inspiration - Galileo Proof, really interesting designs on this new series.



And five 2021 Niue 1 oz Silver Icons of Inspiration - Galileo in BU...but looks close to proof like.



Also, a really nice design for The 50th Anniversary of Decimal Day 2021 UK 50p Silver Proof Piedfort Coin.



And lastly, even more stunning in The 50th Anniversary of Decimal Day 2021 UK 50p Strike on the Day Gold Proof Coin.



 
 
 
 

Nice way to end the week

Last but not least.
Another piece to the puzzle
