Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo I today received four Peace Dollars and 10 lovely Kennedy Half Dollars. The jingle is mental. I’m probably going to be smiling all week wishing our fiat could at least equal the noise!!!!
 

Sydney Shield And uncirculated Vicky- shame about the scratch on it.

Always nice to buy from the Forum, better still to trade coins with each other and best of all is doing the above face to face. Nice meeting up with you today@1817SovereignCollector. 
 

Satisfying my appetite for Libertads further, and doing my spreadsheet no favours at all, I managed to pick these little beauties up.  
The 1992 & ‘94 sets are toning nicely in true ‘treasure coin’ fashion.
It’s going to be an effort getting off my backside to do any jobs my wife has left me to do this afternoon- even the potential wrath of an angry women might not prevent me squandering the remainder of the afternoon ogling them. 

JOHNSON MATTHEY BANKERS LIMITED PROTOTYPE, RARER THAN HEN WITH TEETH 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I would be buying it....

Back safely from NGC via @Numistacker - a real nice Mexican Libertad gold 1/4 onza from 2015.  One of only three graded MS70 , so pretty pleased with that. Have focussed more on PF Libertads ....but I see the fun in going for the BU now ! 😉

@Groundz- looks like your going to have to get back there tomorrow and make an offer.  To be honest, for a bit of history, nice grade the premium looks palatable.  Something nice to bore your grandchildren with in the future.  

As Matrawr rightly pointed out btw this coin has an extra premium over general sovereigns because of it being recovered from the douro shipwreck

This morning I completed my last shift with my current employer, and my last night shift ever!  Start my new job Wednesday.  It was definitely time to move on, my colleagues know me far too well and what I like and bought me some wonderful parting gifts- going to get my nose into those Spink books right away.
 

The 1917 Candian sovereign came back from grading by PCGS. Very happy with the result. 

What a lucky lad I am and the gamble I took landed.
Thanks to@Numistacker for all his effort in getting these back to me.  The Sovereign was conserved by NCS prior to Grading as it had been handled and sustained fingerprints.  
And a special thank you to @ilovesilverireallydo For selling this James Butler Sovereign to me in the first instance.  It’s one of my favourite QEII portraits, alongside the Machin and Maklouf but not surpassing Mary Gillick’s effigy.   




 
 

To keep in these things or put the Crown in capsule and the two others in flips?

Holy moly, I initially read that as ‘12 Kilo’ and nearly had a heart attack.

They all say that at first  

Added 0 minutes later... Get a man sized box of Kleenex ready 😜

Certainly droolworthy!
