After a long search, managed to get hold of the final coin for my 'Mini Series' of the 2002, 2005 & 2012 bullion Full Sovereigns and Half Sovereigns...
Thanks to @modofantasma for the 2012 Bullion half - might be BU as it goes, it certainly looks clean enough to my eye 🧐 (not the best pics, bit too shiny for the autofocus I think! 🤭)

 

 

Shame it wasn't a baker's dozen... today's additions 

Thanks @James32 🙏

Great day today when these beauties turned up (obvs not to the same photo quality you’re used to around these parts). First of each type of coin in my stack. Could easily get addicted to the weight/feel of the full oz Brits! Thanks @James32and @kneehow2018 Also thanks to @modofantasmabut couldn’t get a decent pic of the remembrance 1/4 sov but that also turned up today

I got 1 £5bu and 4 piedforts 🤗

I am impressed with these to say the least!
Denarii bought from @richatthecroft, the 1877 25 Pesetas from @DuncanWylieWilson, the 1878 from @morezone and the grading service provided by @GoldDiggerDave! Thank you all very much, all coins look stunning and wasn't expecting an AU for an ancient coin from my collection! I can't stop looking at these, it's hard to store away! 😁
My samsung camera sucks! Imagine they look 10x crispier and brighter in hand!

Something different 
A rare reef gold nugget 
Weighing in at a mighty 7.73 grams, not often seen in this size 
Specimen nugget from the Perth mint typically 92% to 98% pure gold 
Pictured with a £1 for scale 
More than likely be up for sale, trades 

2022 5 coin proof set. @Darr3nG🤗
 

Haven’t posted for a while but this is lovely.  And at the same price as a Britannia - even better! 🙏

What a beauty free from its plastic.

Just had this lovely addition to the stack arrive, made even better that for once i managed to get the bottom of a dip not the top!  

For some reason I didn't have any of the 'spoke' pattern 1 Oz Brits.... Fixed it.


 

2017 Privy Mark and an 1874M in the post today

Thought I'd better make it 3 posts 😊 - as this lovely Sovereign also turned up today, and didn't want it to feel left out 😏 - big thanks to @reidpj  for a great deal & speedy delivery 👍

 

 
My first 'proper' Shield Back Sovereign (I'm not counting my 2002, as it's only a reproduction! 😅) - and as coincidence would have it, it's exactly the same type & die number as the coin posted by @LawrenceChard in his recent Macro Photos  post here:
Have a feeling this won't be my last Shield Back either 😉

I seldom post on this thread, in fact - only one post so far - but i felt it was time to make it 2 posts.
A massive thank you to @arphethean for a great trade-in deal to enable me to own this beauty... 🥰

 

My first 1oz Gold Bullion coin 😁 🥳 🎉 - keep looking at it like it's all dream and it'll vanish!
You were all right - they are amazing in hand, so much nicer than any picture - especially with my dodgy photo skills 🤭
Never thought in a month of Sundays would I be able to make a post like this, but with the help of quite a few members on the Forum (especially Mr Hoover himself - @James32 for the encouragement to go for this lovely coin & @Paul for convincing me even a 'normal' geezer like me can do it!).  I've bought wisely, sold occasionally and finally traded my way to a 1oz Gold Britannia - Thank you all, it's much appreciated 👍

Was actually last Saturday i recieved this. A friend of a friend was selling at i price i couldn't refuse. £350!!!!

Had this fantastic 2021 1oz silver libertad delivered today from @Domo. He was kind enough to reach out after noticing I was on the look out for one and I'm pleased as punch to have another matching silver to pair up with a 1/10th. 7 more to go to finish the set. 

Finally took the plunge and bought my first Sovereign after some converations with @GoldDiggerDave. 
This one scratched a few itches, as its gold, a sovereign and an older coin. A great deal with @Nick1368thank you.
I had a 2022 arrive today, but missed the postie, so i'll have to wait until tomorrow now
 

I do like a fractional Britannia. Another years 1/10oz Pt added for the date run.

Some shiny

Thanks to @Auronum for 2 x 20 francs 

1718 MS62 quarter guinea 1 year only
Little stunner 


 
 

A little bit of silver thanks to @arphethean and @LiquidMetalsUK

1888 Half Crown to add to the set.
This one has a little more toning than i'm used to, but its growing on me (i think)
 

Received today and absolutely made up 
23 inch heavy Figaro chain for my 40th birthday and a super toned vintage schone bar 
Thanks @Tozer and @arshimo2012
