I forgot about these 2 coins I picked up on Monday really liked them 
Straight from pocket into flips 
Nothing special but you have to love the junk silver 

More arrivals from Hatton Garden Metals. My first bars, the one from Istanbul was a surprise. 

Just landed. Most likely going to sell but gorgeous wish could keep! 

Had these lovely sets of proof libertads turn up today

An 1889 20 French Francs. Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo for parting with it. 👍 

 

Still looking for an 1848, 1887,1892, 1894 and 1896 (Torch) If anyone has one to sell!

Couple of vintage bars.
 

Not yet got anything from this, but this big tub is waiting for me to go through at my dealers  

Haven't bought any gold in quite a while so picked up a couple of nice bullion sovereigns at the LCS today to get my fix.  A 1925 and a 1963.

Few recent pickups...

Received my proof Libertad set from year 2006 that I bought from estate sale for melt value.  

Cheers @Pete for the 1986 Half.  And a very nice eBay pick up of a Sovereign 3 Coin Set. 

There should be a new topic for "MEGA" beauties like this that dwarf the average post!!

Well big daddy ducat is here! Beautiful coin thanks to @ogb777! 
Pictured next to a 1 ducat which is about half sov in size. 40mm coin! If you don’t own one, you should consider it!
now I have to get the 100 Corona which is slightly smaller (37mm) but nearly double the weight! 

As per @Silvergun‘s post above- I too received a Gillick Sovereign, from @ilovesilverireallydo a 1962, arrived In the post today.  I enjoyed the 3 days worth of fun banter until we came to a deal! I think I have his 4 Ducat purchase to thank for clinching it and making this deal possible!
And today went to the York Coin Fair and picked up the last three ‘57, 59 & 1963 I really ‘needed’ to make up the remainder of the Mary Gillick Portrait x10 Sovereign run.   Met some nice people there and saw some beautiful and rare Sovereigns. 
Here’s the 4 from today:

 
And here’s the date run together: 

Both purchased from the Forum . A 1959 full sovereign that's another date run complete thanks to ilovesilverireallydo  and a 1902 matt proof half sovereign .

Waiting on the postman and double delivery from  @ilovesilverireallydo
I cannot thank you enough for reserving this batch lovely set of coins really happy as they all have a bit of history
Getting into them was like a  very hard game of pass the parcel

Was out of town for a couple weeks on a motorcycle ride to Montana, and had a couple packages waiting for me at the post office when I got back home.
2019 Pride of Two Nations Proof Set, and 2019 1 oz QB Falcon.

You know you have a problem when you move from 1gm bars to 1/25 fractional coins. 
You know you have a bigger problem when you move from them to 1/10s. 
Problems increase when you move from there to half sovs. 
It gets worse when you move to full sovs. 
Its getting out of hand when 1/4 ounces enter the picture. (Recent acquisitions displayed) 
And am looking for help now that the first half ounce is on the way. (4 ducat - can’t wait!)
I may be too far gone. 

Dun! dun! duh!

Received from Hatton-Garden-Metals.

Came yesterday but only just collected from the post office. Some lovley little half sovs. Thanks @sg86
