It’s very unusual to find and acquire such a nice example.
1551 Edward VI Sixpence, mm Tun
GVF- with an exceptional portrait of
the young boy king.  This issue is very often plagued with creases and worn.
This is the inaugural Sixpence issue, and I’m pleased to add such a nice example into my collection.



 

Homer just arrived - in coincard as well as solo in capsule.

Well folks, not quite received today, nor actually mine. A very good friend of mine recently had this little lot from a local auction house. 
Listed as "Mixed Coins" quickly spotted the two Pearse silver 10 Shilling coins had a bid and won the lot. 
Now the quality of picture was terrible but turned out in his favour and it was snapped up for an absolute bargain.
5 Silver Pearse 10 Shillings in all, a group of mini silvers and a few nice interesting coppers. Some I grouped in a picture for less squinting.
All in for the bargain hammer price of..................€32 🤣 
Not a bad day at the office.

Gold Proof Round Pounds   Another three of these handsome fellows, the 2015 Arms being courtesy of@shawy2510. Each 22ct coin weighs in at a respectable 17.98 agw.

I do love 10oz coins.  They have a beauty all of their own, especially close up.
I received a QB Completer today, to go with my Lion of England, Yale, Griffin and Falcon.
I think they are beautiful, and look forward to completing my collection.
(In capsules, so most of the scratches and reflections are on the plastic.)

A couple of shiny silver krugs from @theman73, who very kindly threw in an empty tube for free. Top man.

Add them to the 6 you already have and you are a third of the way to a tube of them. (25....😀)

Been a busy week 🥹

Just nice to own one of only 250 copies. Greetings from Maxe and have a nice weekend.


 

Bought the dip - 1/2 oz Perth Mint Lunar Tiger and a tube of Silver Krugerrand special offer at spot price courtesy of local dealer celebrating its 10th anniversary !
 

 
 

 
 

Had this delivered today.... Rare as rocking horse dung with mintage of 850!

Three (technically six) tiny Pandas in OMP, this morning courtesy of @BleyerBullion. They had three left in stock, and with their multibuy offer, I couldn't resist. Along with the Kangaroos, I think I'll get these annually.
Great deal and swift despatch, thanks to the Bleyer team down in Devon! Any marks/dust is on plastic, coins seem perfect to me. A happy customer indeed!
And a nice little personalised note from Lisa on the invoice. Small things👍.

Thought i would share this here also, as i originally posted in another thread! 
Finally got my hands on my charity winnings from @GoldDiggerDave 😆
Amazing to see this in person, and will be bringing it any forum meets for people to hold! What a stunning, one of a kind coin. 

The one, the only, MS63 RD DPL graded 2017 Penny…found on the floor, and now encased in plastic forever!
Keep your eyes peeled for the next charity auction coming soon..
 

Grail crown off the list for me. 🙂

Big thanks to @arshimo2012 for these two additions 😊

Just picked up a double 2022 bullion sov from Chards……..Bargain!  I could not find any cheaper.
