Cully

What finish is that supposed to be? Looks better than standard bullion.

looks like a RM proof capsule too.

Must be my camera work Steve,

Like morezone said its just a generic cap and not a RM cap.

I received my discounted eBay sov from BBP. They gave me a 2015 in a capsule too.

Also picked these up today,

Can't be too careful....

Today I received a lucky dip full sovereign from Atkinsons.

It turned out to be a shiny 2014 which is ok as it's my first sovereign with the G&D design.

Wow, those kooks are stunning...

Oddly enough, I bought one yesterday too along with the half sovereign book.

Really looking forward to reading through them and seeing what I have.

Could be the start of a slippery slope Dan..

Received this today. Thought it was time to get myself edgemakated,

Watch out @sovereignsteve ........ Lol

8 coin Lunar series II 2 oz proof set in the box:)

Very nice, you won't be disappointed

I'd go for a "type" collection to start with, an example of each monarch head and each reverse.

So working backwards:

Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Diamond Jubilee G&D 2012 (you have this already)

Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Single Year G&D 2005 (you have this already)

Elizabeth II Fourth Portrait Golden Jubilee Shield 2002 (you have this already)

Elizabeth II Fourth G&D 1998 - 2015  (1998 and 1999 proofs only)

Elizabeth II Third Portrait G&D 1985 - 1997 (All these as proofs only, you may want to exclude this head)

Elizabeth II Second Portrait G&D 1974 - 1984 (None in 1975 and 1977, 1983 and 1984 proof only)

Elizabeth II First Portrait G&D 1957 - 1968 (None in 1960 and 1961)

George V  G&D  1911 - 1932

Edward VII  G&D 1901 - 1910  

Victoria Old (Widow) Head  G&D  1893 - 1901

Victoria Jubilee Head G&D  1887 - 1893

Victoria Young Head G&D  1871 - 1887

Victoria Young Head Shield  1838 - 1887

and then backwards through William IV, George IV to George III

 

Trouble is, this is more than 10 types for the 10 spaces in your case. You'll either have to rationalise or get another box.

That's given me something to think about.......and yes, it looks like I'm going to need a bigger box.

And what a great start to your Kook collection Cully! The 2008 is possibly the best of the series. Good choice!

Thanks, I managed to pick two more up tonight, only 23 more to go!! lol

well you've got the three expensive ones, the other most recent years should be easy to get. Then you need to start at 1900 and work backwards!

I wish Steve,

I'm still not sure which way to go yet, what would you recommend if you were just starting out collecting sovs?

Today I received the sovereign case from Keith

The next problem I have is filling it,

Today I received a few Britannia's to finish off my date run, thanks to some great forum members.

Also received my first 1oz kook.......

Today I received a 2005 full sovereign & 2 Britannia's, thanks to sovereignsteve

Today I received the 1oz kookaburra proof.

Really late to the party with this one..

Today I received my 2013 Libertads.

Thanks Morezone.

2013 3 coin libertad proof set:)

I didn't receive mine either, maybe tomorrow..

Today I received my 2oz series 1 mouse.

Nice one Cully.

The only saving grace is that you have more on the way.

I don't [emoji35]

I'm sure you'll soon put that right...

Today I received a Perth Mint box for my lonely 2 Oz Kookaburra collection..
