A big thank you to @9x883 for this beautiful 2003 1oz Britannia.
This is my favourite image, to me it represents courage and sacrifice and I am reminded of the British nurse Edith Cavell, who in WWI was executed for assisting allied soldiers escape from occupied land.

I have been building a collection of half sovereigns for many years now. A significant coin that I have always had an eye out for is a 1918-P. Marsh has this as an R3 with a ‘not known’ mintage figure, but the experts estimates are set at around 250. PCGS also notes the mintage as 250.
So to find one in mint state in an old antique shop at a good price was, I think, a once in a lifetime event. In fairness, I explained to the shop owner that their price was ridiculous and talked through what I would be willing to pay. I had to sell bullion to cover the costs but in the end the shop owner and I were happy. For me karma is important and part of buying and selling coins is honesty and integrity.
To get the grade back as MS64 was a significant moment for me. Especially as I had only recently bought a NGC example in MS63 that I had been planning on sending for cross over. No need now!
The coin arrived yesterday via FedEx and I am overjoyed to have this join the collection. 
 

maybe the today i want to show section was more appropriate, still,... 
a 1887 MS64 jubilee (ex Charles Wander auction) and a 1871 MS64+ (the best year to go for high grades shields)
 
 

I do struggle to understand why investors in pms always seem to have a safe or lockbox across an expanse of water…I mean surely there’s a better place in the high st to store valuables?
it would certainly stop all theses water mishaps.

Maybe mindsets have to change....my nan in law had a farm and she was totally off grid... Lived to 106.

Here another thought. If Barclays start to introduce no more than 20 k cash deposits...I'm guessing per annum would that trickle across to electronic bank deposits?

Thanks very good read.

Very valid questions. We could shift it to countries that would accept it, or we could end up with a barbarous relic!

My take would be that we potentially see an underpinning of FIAT with gold as Central banks try and woo us with financial stability.. but again it'll be a magicians trick/slight of hand. They could go down the compulsory purchase route though and then jack up the price a-la US style...
