A very nice 1925-dated sovereign (London). It has thick reeded edge so likely being one of the 1940s restrikes. Cracked out of am NGC MS65 holder.

Got to thank @BackyardBullion for this one! 
Beautiful coins, definitely in need of more Maria Thalers!

Nice new double memorial in blister. Even in double there’s a heck of a lot going on and been a bit spoilt with the proof ones so won’t be going silly getting loads like I did the jubilee.

From @DW1777. Very happy with this QB. Just the party goat and completer to go. 

A couple of LMU coins and a bonus below.
Italian 20 Lire from @Auronum, plus a Belgian 20 Franc.




Bonus Rooster and Vrenelli
I've got four different LMU types now.

Ebay purchase, shilling, turned out to be nicer than I hoped, aUNC, mirror like fields to the obverse.

Oops... Wrong photo


£1.50

The Grffin of Edward III returns from PCGS. Very shocked at a PR66!
Obverse has hairlines all of a sudden visible to the naked eye which weren't there when it was with me. it would have gone striaght back to the RM in 2021.
Mine is the only one graded so far at PCGS.
I feel this could be a coin swap.  Let's see if any other Griffin's all of a sudden get graded much higher.
The 1oz Dragon at PR67 I understand because I bought it from a dealer who posted images of a pristine coin but when I got it, I could see why they graded it a PR67.  FFS! Bar Stewards!
Anyway, rant partially over, at least I have one.

A couple of Gillick sovereigns - 1962 and 1963
No Georges this month, for the first time in a while.  High res pics, 1,536px across.  I'm also quite pleased with the lighting - it's picked up decent contrast on the Gillick effigy, which is not always easy to do.  Very little post either, just pulling the contrast up a bit.

Auction win. A nice 2020 Elizabeth II Sovereign Proof Set.

 

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to post in this section and glad to be back. The first baby steps to replenishing my stack arrived this morning courtesy of @James32

Some bits back from NGC via @GoldDiggerDave this week. 
cheers to Dave 👍

Received today, has lovely toning but struggling to capture it on the phone
 
 

Just received today!
Big thanks to @Samuel21 for this belter. Lovely looker! 

20x Germania 1oz silver bars. They're very cute and you could build stuff on your table with them.

Another two common sovereigns...but still love that classic look 😅 

One I’ve had for a while, recently got it slabbed as I wanted a nicer presentation. 
I tracked down Arron West, the designers of the reverse and he kindly signed the Trial of the Pyx documentation.  
 
The 2018 dated BU base metal “Newton” 50ps is one of the rarer 50p’s out there as they used the 2018 obverse die for the SYO (Strike Your Own)  all currency issued were dated 2017.

Another memorial proof thanks to @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions

Some sets I picked up over the weekend  nice start to my long journey 
 

Hello dear silver friends, these 2 coins were also included in yesterday's parcel. I absolutely had to have two proof pieces for the coronation of King Charles III. Best regards from Maxe.

My haul for today. Luckily I pucked everything up all at once. The beautifully stunning unpolished half sov from @James32, the brits from @Ryan, a gold panning kit from Amazon, and probably the most amazing purchase yet: I bought myself a watch as a future graduation gift, not long to go now but this is keeping my eyes in the horizon. Beautiful, stunning watch from @watchesandwhisky.
This watch is not much for some, maybe most, on this forum. For me, this is a milestone and a big point in my financial history as well. Had it not been for PM's and the supportive people around me, I would've spent all my money on drugs, and I don't know where I'd be today.. Addiction is no joke. So it means the world to me to have gotten this far, and this is just an incentive to keep on going and  growing. Thank you to all at TSF! Just thought I'd share my happiness with you all 😁😁😁😁

Yay.. Lovely stuff....😄

Yay.. Lovely stuff....😄

I’m in!!!
My offering is a 2017 Britannia and a 1oz  ‘sack’ by Riverbank Hand Poured. 🎄🎅⭐️🥳

I'm in again with a silver brit and something else. I'll update with a pic later today.
Edit :  OK chaps, here is my entry for this year - 1x2020 silver Brit and 1x1985 silver proof " Welsh Leek"  £1 in a nice little presentation box with a COA.
The box and COA are a bit soiled from storage and I don't know how that happened because it hasn't happened to any of my other little proof coin boxes or certs which were stored in the same place over the years, but the coin itself is in its capsule and to my knowledge has never been removed.
The Fender Strat used as a prop in the pics is for entertainment purposes only and will unfortunately not be included..😅
