As this country is by and large a circus run by clowns, I see potential for RM to milk this... sorry, I mean realise the potential!
For the full Sov, a nice big top.
Half Sov a clown.
Quarter Sov a clowns squirty water flowery thing.
Double Sov some lions.
Quintuple Sov - Clown Central itself, Westminster

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name's Richard, I'm a new collector from the West Midlands - my habit started late last year: 😉
I first came to coins - and later found this forum - after an article on the back of the FT mentioned old gold coins were an option as investment (and I had a little left in the piggyback with which to diversify). Then having dabbled at an online auction but without buying, I found myself hooked by the shiny pieces of metal (gold, silver - and most recently a '53 PF64 Cameo coronation crown) and their stories / histories...
So, I am a happy amateur collector and have since starting out learned valuable lessons; being burned by some auction charges, getting sucked into a bidding war for a middling half-sov... lovely.
Hopefully it will cheer @LawrenceChard and @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions to learn I've bought from both, and I will continue to do so but am also looking forward to weighing in on the forum trading here as well.
Lastly, I'm going to wish a fair wind and full sail to all forum members as we hove into this weekend - and our winter of discontent, which, let's not forget, was "made glorious summer" in the end.
See you on the threads.

Sounds like you are acquiring exceptionally good taste.
I know you don't have any LCSs (Local Coin Shops) in or around Birmingham!
