Solly

Mystery solved! The full sovereign came in a capsule, while the three halves came in blisters but with empty capsules included.
I think they are all the basic Lighthouse style capsules rather than being like the ones the RM currently use.

Another batch of goodies

@James32. While you're filling your boots at Costco on the free food and wine you can have a little gander at the shiny they have to offer as well. 

Not a bad day to be alive 😁
Big thanks to @SovereignBishop  @kneehow2018 @arshimo2012
For today's arrivals 

Just bought these today, I have only been buying the Lunar series recently but i am finding it difficult to get the 5 0z Australian Tiger coin.

Finally got my half from BBP, ordered 8th Jan I think! Although they did call to update me and sent SD in the end so can't complain. 
Contemplating removing from packaging to fill a tube and horrify some, won't use gloves either 😅
 

Big thanks to @Goldfingafor this lovely 1926 SA half sov
 


And in other news, a completely different half Sov..

Some more stunning 1937 proofs. Some will be up for sale soon 😉

Another cracking delivery from Tavex Bullion... 

I use nylon snooker referees gloves, So i can play with my balls and play pocket billiards as I have holes in my trousers,
And if my girlfriend is around I attempt to sink the pink, but if drunk coming back from the pub and had to many I attempt to sink the pink but go in off into the brown!

Cotton fibers can inflict microscopic scratches on coins....

So knock knock...postie here...delivery from UK for you....

Picked up more silver this weekend and latest edition of coin year book 

Came today. All look in great shape!

My freshly filled Bullion date runs with added proof for their birth years, to be stashed underneath. 
Hopefully they will keep these 18th birthday presents a long time.

2014 6-Coin Silver Proof Britannia Set   Further to a French polishing commission, I have just been given this very generous gift as a "thank you bonus".    The desirable 2014 Britannia 6-coin set was limited to a mintage of merely 1735, this set being number 685 and in all-round superb condition.  

Yes, I've bought a couple times now and their customer service is second to none. Really pleased with it. Made a purchase this afternoon, got it nearly at the bottom, £22.75/1oz Brit. Completed the order, got a call within 15 mins to say that they had received the order and it was being packaged up for RM collection on Monday. 
Yes, big in Europe, getting into the UK market, hence the reduction in price to build a customer base and get reviews to boost buyer confidence. Presentation is on point. I posted the previous delivery from them on the Today I received channel.

Yes, they are very beautiful. Look forward to the next coin in the series. I hope the wait isn't too long this time 🙂

Well it was worth the extra wait   
2oz gold Gothic Crown 'plain edge' in hand, available to RM Mint Marque members
Mintage 125 in this presentation (total 131)  
it will be meeting Una, The Lion & Grace, Grace and Grace for a party at the safe deposit box this afternoon 

The fly in that ointment is that it requires energy.  In a total collapse, firms go bust left right and centre, and energy supplies start collapsing fast fast.  No point generating it when no one can pay for it.
When there is finally an almighty collapse, the very last thing that the majority of people will be doing is worrying about their internet bill just so that they can access their digital bank account debt.  The cabal most likely will try to extend the ponzi scheme in that direction before the end though.  A new fiat to rule them all might add a few short years to the scam if they're lucky.  But slave incomes in the form of "universal basic income" will eventually have to be dished out.  I see that people on receipt of benefits are already getting subsidised energy bills now and that's the start of the end.  Eventually it'll become pointless to even go to work and at that point there's no society left for the elites to spend their ill gotten gains within.  In the past they escaped abroad to do that, but globalism has poisoned that well.
If you've been to Saudi you'll know that the main drag in Jeddah is filled with expensive car dealerships.  Lambo and Ferrari joints.  The elite need a functioning society within which to enjoy their riches and so they dish out enough to keep it functioning.  But the drift is always towards concentration of wealth, and if they don't learn to stop sucking up everything (they can't learn that), then they'll end up with nothing as well when the luxury yacht companies go bust.  Foreign trips to spend your ill gotten gains don't exist when you've captured the entire world.  It always runs up against the buffers when the vast majority have nothing left but debt.  Doesn't matter what the new currency becomes, unless ordinary free people have enough of it to use in fair exchange, it's unusable.
Digital will not be a way to hold wealth through disaster, and the elite know it.  No one is going to turn the computers back on, and expect people to remember what they owed them.  Not after a proper collapse.  That's gold's one and only real job, and unless they discover craters filled with it on the moon, I don't see it changing.  Digital is just a way to entrap the masses and squeeze the very last few drops of labour out of them before the collapse.  Humans are greedy and short sighted and this will happen again no matter how many regulations and restriction the managerial elites try to put in place.  I doubt silver will ever make a return to use as currency, but who really knows.  Both gold and silver have no master in the privacy of a private trade between two ordinary men.  And silver is certainly of a small enough value not to be difficult to barter with.  The elites holding gold may need to wait well into the restart before their gold becomes the premier ledger of wealth again.

@James32  we should petition Anne Jessopp for some new boxes for the SOTD Sovereigns.   We did get better packaging for the sovereigns after a few emails. 
Would be nice to get a box the same size as a proof sovereign, possibly the date and COA number engraved on a small metal plaque, like we get on the 10oz and 1kg coins.   
Those black boxes are nice but they are a surgical glove job......When I hear the snap of the rubber gloves at the doctors I know a black box is about to be handled.........

Bonus buy a lovely 1937 proof crown. 😀

Came today 2022 half sovereign thanks @SovereignBishop
 

I’m loving my new toy, funny thing is nearly all uk silver older than 1900 is only testing silver at 90%
