Didn't feel so much a winner, when I had to meet @DodgyDave near the toilets in the Trafford Centre... I gave him something, he gave me something in return... we both left, using separate exits.

OK

Can someone say sa-weeeeeeeeet! 🤣
Super happy to receive the long awaited 2oz Pistrucci PF70 coin from Dave! Worth the wait and I’m sure I’ll be grading more coins in future with him. ✅ @GoldDiggerDavecheers mate 
For the lurkers - Dave was very open with me from the start and kept me updated on the progress. Everything was transparent and easy to follow. TSF way! 💯
So many temptations and choices one can get overwhelmed but I’m trying my best to take it one step at a time in the slab world proof world. 😂
Thanks also to @NGMDfor nudging me on every now and again. I’m enjoying the journey so far. 😁

This one landed today, detail is incredible 
 

Took a package to the x-ray department today too see if it was safe to open, then opened it to see the coin I won on @treetop1280's Sunday auction.

Take a bow @LiquidMetalsUK this is an absolute beauty and an instant favourite. Thank you sir

I don’t know how much these were originally but it’s considerably more expensive to buy the 2024 version than this is

3 more Sovereigns- 2 from @arphethean & 1 from Atkinsons.
5 more caps to fill till I have a full tube 😊

Bullion kook series nearly complete now. Just the rocking horse one to find.

Sometimes it's nice to buy things just because they look good. Like these copper rounds from @ccfcpaul.

Big thanks to @kneehow2018

A few pieces came back from the Forum’s Dewalt Dude @GoldDiggerDave
 ❤️Something Gold, something Silver, but always interesting. 

2002 Proof 1/2 Sovereign - PF70
Lovely little coin.  Great in hand.  Deserving of top marks

As an addition to the above post, the coloured carded Lunar Dragons: Red, Blue, and "base design"
  

Another one added to the horde,  Still a bunch more to be released from the mint. 
 

This is one I keep meaning to get graded as a mint error (surely this is significant enough, right?) but I have no idea how NGC would encapsulate it without bending bits.

Royal Mint - 1/4oz Proof - Year of the Dragon 2024
Also PF70

I think this deserves a post on its own.
2024 Lady Germania 1 Kilo Coin. 100 Mintage. Shown next to a 1oz Proof.
I saw @BackyardBullion review it at the World Trade Fair and thought it needs to come home with me. 
A little bit nice.

Nearly half-way through the year and I have actually managed to tick off half of this list. I got a graded platinum 20p with a mintage of only 10 (!) and a 5oz silver george and the dragon coin. It didn't really seem possible to wait until the end of the year for those ones.
