Today my wife bought me a 1911 half sovereign whilst in town today. Quite pleased with it

Thought it would be fun to see a selection of proof sovereigns from over the years.
Took 4 as it's difficult to get the lighting even over all of them at once, and somehow managed to get 2 1997s in there Must have thought it was a 1987, eyes getting old

5x2010 pandas
1x 1995 ST LD panda NGC MS69
1x1993 SD Frosted NGC MS69
Only 7 to go for a full set graded pandas
I will have all years 1989-2017 and all variations
2007 - 2017 is MS 70
1989 - 2006 is MS 69, but will try to get a few more MS 70 to swap

Bought some Chinese medals again.
Nanjing mint 2015 panda 45mm Brass, copper, Antigua Brass and Copper China coin Medal

My 3-coin 2017 sov set came today from @arshimo2012 many thanks. I don't think the coins are totally perfect, they seem to put more effort into the box, which is very nice . The box manufacturer/team should send some of their guys to package the coins.
Also a few 1/10 2017 elephants, 1995 proof IOM angel 1/20
Then a half sov 1843 weight, I had few glasses of wine and not sure really why i bought it, it's just interesting

3 Coin 2017 Sovereign set from the Royal Mint.  Came yesterday but I missed the delivery by 10 mins so had to collect this morning.  I've included a pic of the 3 coins with a normal sovereign and also overlaid the normal sovereign over the 2017 double.  I think the double shows off the design best due to the garter reducing the size of G&D.

Pre-ordered 2017 Proof Soverign at Chards finally arrived this morning?

All four precious metals as Canadian Maples. 
 

It has taken a while but I am now a member of the 2003 Panda club.

Finally arrived this morning.... beautiful.

My 2017 Proof Sov arrived today - I had a half on order but got the full instead - I read previous posts about RM poor packaging and my experience was no different - shipped in its original packaging(no added bubble wrap to box) and put in a cheap Jiffy bag.  I paid £12.50 for postage - All that said I really like the coin and happy I choose a full due to the detail on the rim of the new design.
It makes little difference  but I like the COA number.

SOLD. Thanks 

SOLD. Thanks 

Picked up a couple of IOM 1 ounce Nobles - 2016 gold and the platinum from 1987 (middle of the Noble platinum run which went from 1983-1989, 3000 mintage for 1987). Have to say - the gold noble has instantly become one of my favourites ! 
Took further advantage of the long drop in platinum $ price in early October (to lowest in 6 months) to pick up another ounce, this one a Canadian 2016 maple, and for metal diversity I got my first palladium coin - also a 1 ounce Canadian maple, from 2005.  Interesting to see that the palladium is quite a big bigger (less density than platinum). 
Also from Scottsdale - a 5oz chunky silver bar, and then the pretty awesome Chad King Tut 5 ounce Egyptian Relic Series with its chiselled look antique finish. 
From MCM when they got them back in stock - a few slabbed PF70 silver moon festival medals, which I was initially immune to ...but now appreciate more for the sheer detail packed into the 1 ounce. 
Two Asahi 10 oz silver bars - nice to see how they kept some elements of the Johnson Mathey design, but added some new design features. Core stack. 
Finally - a batch of QB Lion gold quarter ounces (still picking them up ...as I reckon they still hold a lot of collector potential). I am going to look closely under a loupe to see if any deserve grading. 
Need to lay off the PMs for a few days?..but especially enjoyed the dip in platinum, while adding to the collection and the stack. 

Finally arrived this morning.... beautiful.
