Loves these, cracking coins

Loves these, cracking coins

Three lovely coins today, two Sixpences toward my Type Set collection and a Mary Groat.
The Mary Groat has matured nicely since it was hammered into shape 469 years ago, VF grade? Queen Mary coinage was only issued for two years prior to her 4 year Marriage and coins then issued under the reign of Phillip & Mary. 
The Sixpences are whippersnappers in comparison, but both very nicely preserved, the Charles II is exceptional  and clearly the star of the three here, presented in a bold EF.
The George I is lovely and again, grades EF I would think.  Came with an old Spink ticket.





 

So, here I am playing with my sovereigns.  I feel slightly inadequate . . .

Less puns than 4 candles....

Been on the forum a month now so figured I'd drop a photo in of progress to date and something I can look back on in a year or so ... ive had a few motivations for getting into stacking.  I've always invested and grown a small portfolio over the years, moving from short term, to being lazy and just riding with the ups and downs.  I moved to cash in time for the last financial crisis but even that hasnt seemed particularly sensible this time around, my situation is also different in that ive got a couple of kids growing up and I keep them more in mind with any saving I do.  Lastly there's a fair bit of pleasure to be had from owning some of the things you can buy - gold with the head, silver with the heart (and some of the head).  Ive tried to buy things that i think will stay reasonably desirable and be easy enough to shift.
Shout out to this forum for being a gem of information and opening up interests that i'd never have otherwise discovered, the membership has no doubt paid for itself already and kudos to the folks ive bought from, lots of high integrity people here.
I'll be pacing myself more going forward, the cost averaging went out the window so far, but pretty happy with the prices ive paid.  (drinking a bottle of sauv tonight, so maybe one last purchase, i do need that kg bar... and a gold QB/TB)
 
 

 

The Perth (the one in Western Australia) Coin fair started today and I could not leave without buying something shiny!
This 1896 Morgan Dollar was perfect. 

Nice collection, how much do you think a graded silver kew gardens will be worth in say 10 years down the line 

Picked this one up from the royal mint recently. Decimal day silver proof piedfort

I / we have at least 1500 x 2022 bullion gold sovereigns, bought and paid for, but waiting for the RM to restart shipping. It is on a pause following the queen's death.
We probably do have at least another few thousand earlier ones physically in stock though. We are down to our last 1841!

One last page as above... These, I picked up on my travels. This is how I will remember the Queen - in her younger days...
N.B. I started collecting bank-notes about the same time as gold etc.
