My British mate @GoldDiggerDave Dave sent through a lot of goodies I have buying in the uk.
I think my favorite is the 2016 Butler sovereign although it’s nice to bring the two 1907 Sydney sovereigns back to Aus. 
Don’t be deceived by the size of the Panda photo, it’s a 1/20th oz and so it’s actually tiny!

This isn’t so much a ‘today I received’ post but more a ‘today (yesterday) I saw’ post.
I spotted it in Aldi and thought of everyone here.

Big thanks to @Rashka for bargain of the day..week..month or even the year.
I'll be there for youuuuu 😅

Saw these today...not my usual bag when it comes to stacking but couldn't say no to these limited editions.
Hot off the presses from Perth Mint.
The "Sixty Years of James Bond" Family Coat of Arms.  I wasn't a fan of RM 007 Bullion range but this one be it a Perth Mint offering does catch my fancy. Simple and elegant.
Mintage 25,000 with only 1,000 carded.

 
Also from Perth Mint..... "GAMES THROUGH THE AGES 2022 2oz SILVER ANTIQUED COIN".....First in the new series which sadly looks like I'm locked into now. Once again not my usual thing but this is just stunning and a full set...well...why the hell not. Mintage 2,500

 

Not very interesting but thought it was about time to put silver on hold and try the proper stuff lol

Nice pickup today, 2021 half sovereign proof with the 95 special mark.
EDIT: Moved discussion to here:

Today I bought..... some lunar gold and  platinum for my collection 
 

Arrived yesterday - a 1973 Isle of Man Sovereign from HGM.
Pobjoy mint turns out some right tripe these days but I do wish they would resurrect this design.
 

And a nice little proof 1/4oz gold 'roo (from @lst65) to finish off today's batch of photos.

@stefffana disagrees eh @Darr3nG? Some right quality pobjoy here....
 
 

Best hope you don’t ever need to replace the capsule on that 10oz!! 

Some big silver.
@Panda6Pack supplied the weirdest 10oz coin I own.  Same diameter as a 1oz, just 10 times thicker.  Don't see this fitting in a vending machine.

And from @Lucylucy, a trio of 10oz Koalas.

Today these 2023 lol (last of Lizzie) Britannia's arrived. I had to double check the tube of 1/10oz Brits as I thought they were 5p pieces. The 1oz are typical poor bullion standard from the Royal Mint with small scratches to her face on both of them. 

Catching up with some recent (and not so recent) arrivals, since my photo gear had been elsewhere last week.  A haul of graded coins.
Finally photographed the PF70 dragon from @GoldDiggerDave.

This beauty from @BackyardBullion MS70.

Thanks for the fun "Buy the coins not the grade" auction run by @Darr3nG for these amazing coins.


From @Shinus73 these two lunar year coins, MS69 and MS70.


And thanks to @Stuh for the 5oz PF69 panda.

Flea market finds today, three silver coins and two non-precious coins that I liked... 
 
 

Thank you @StBeesSilver for this cracking 5oz-er 😃 Sooo much detail and character - the bar shape, the stamping / hammering and the patina. It’s sweeeet 👌

So after my disappointment at being told I was getting a refund instead of a replacement, I had a mystery delivery number sent to me from the royal mail.... It turned out to be this absolutely pristine, completely defect free piedfort sovereign directly from the royal mint. I had it come a couple days ago but I wanted a couple days to make sure it was as clean and as sharp as it seemed at 1st, 2nd and 3rd look. I'm over the freakin moon needless to say. Now I have to decide if I want to grade it or keep it "pure"

Just these 2. Will probably buy a few more then go for some Royal Arms.
 

Thanks to @Ryan and @arshimo2012 for the brits and reverse frosted QB yale.
The rest of the TB party goats came from a dealer beginning with G
 

So, here I am playing with my sovereigns.  I feel slightly inadequate . . .

Less puns than 4 candles....

Fresh from the mint.... 🤮

Worth grading? 

Some nice bits for myself 😆
