Yesterdays safe deposit visit for summer stocktaking, arranged some of the big boy gold for a couple of pics   
I must stop buying proofs and stick to bullion 

So after several years of acquiring PMs, I decided it was finally time I had a box! 
Dropped off my first bits today, although compared to the stacks I see here I really don't have much at all... But with some luck the coming years will be more prosperous for us financially and the stack will grow exponentially
Thanks @Paul for the advice 😁👍
 
 
 
 
 
 

Had a little visit this week 

Popped along to visit my modest collection again today, and thought I'd share a new addition...

Finally received my Double 2022 bullion sovereign in blister pack, so now have the full bullion set ☺️

Another visit to the stack today, to play musical coins - Platinum 1/10th Brit came out as it's sold and 3 and a half Sovs go in..
A 2022 loose Full sovereign, and two Gillicks (1963 & 64) taking my Gillick set up to half way complete - thanks to @brnlx639 for the Gillicks.
And a 2022 half sovereign in blister pack...

Which means I now only need a Double 2022 sovereign in a blister pack for the four coin set... And they're out of stock at the Royal Mint... Typical! 🙄

The three coins do look good together though 😁

Actually visited the stack Yesterday, but only just gotten around to adding the pictures 😊
Dropped off some recent additions...

The 1oz Britannia 🥰  (thanks @arphethean for a great deal) the 1869 Young Head Shield back Soveriegn (Thanks @reidpj for my oldest coin so far - 153 years old!) and the Elusive 2012 Half Sovereign (thanks @modofantasma) - which now completes the 'Mini Set' 😁 - and here they are!

L to R - 2012 Full and half Sovs, 2005 Full and half sovs & 2002 Full and half sovs 

Dropped off the latest additions. 

Finally had to join the Box Club 😏
Feels a bit surreal that I have anything worth putting in one tbh, but I do, so took the plunge...
Here's the majority of the stack (1oz Brit tubes wouldn't 'quite' fit - but the tube of 1/4 oz 2021's did) here's the pic before I tucked them up for the night 😁

Visited one of the boxes this week 🤤

So i added the 2 sovs required today. 50ozs!
Gonna try and put the breaks on any more gold purchases for now.

Yesterdays safe deposit drop offs 
Two - Platinum Jubilee £5 gold crowns only issued in the "2022 annual set" with the Jodie Clark portrait
Mintage of just 100 and both in PF70. Beautiful weighty pieces in hand 
"honi soit qui mal y pense"  spoken by the medieval ruling class in England, meaning "shamed be whoever thinks ill of it", usually translated as "shame on anyone who thinks evil of it" It is the motto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter, the highest of all British knighthoods
Hopefully will be an in demand coin in years to come 

Today i visited the safe deposit box. Nice to see them again. Had a little count up as wasn’t 100% on the exact amount of sovereigns.
 
151 sovereigns, 1 half sov and 14 1oz coins. So depending on how many decimals I’m either 2 full sovs or 1 and a half sovs away from my target for the year of 50oz.

Ooooohhh what a lovely pair. 2oz gold plain edges Quarter arms and gothic portrait side by side
and
a nice high grade 20franc from France 

Found some tubes that fit sovs in capsules and happen to be with a couple of mm for the size of my box.
20 sovs to a tube and I can fit 7 tubes in the box. Basic bullion sovs I just put in the RM tubes without capsules so I could easily fit 5 of these plus 4 RM sov tubes. 

In the same spirit as the 'today I received ' thread
Some of us only meet our stack a few times a year, if we keep it in safe deposit box.
Feel free to share a pic or two of your visit
* a random coin/bar,
* a coin your forgot you had,

* In fact Ànything from your vaulted stack 
(To keep all ok, safe and stalker/robber free, ensure your metal vault locker box is visible/shown in your images

One for the forum to have their say on what they think this set will achieve, I have a rough figure in mind but would just like the general census of the forum to see if we are on the same page, I know their are a few wise souls kicking about.
I'm just thinking of reducing my premium coins and putting it into more gold.
As some would know, the mexican libertad is one of the lowest minted government backed bullion rounds, compared to the maple, brittania & ASE, they are technically not coins as the silver value of the onza is determined by the banco mexico.
The condition of my date set is not bad at all a few spots here and there and toning to some but this is to be expected in some of the due to the age.
It took a lot of time and effort to compile this set, a few were imported from the states, Germany & Belgium and the very rare 1998 come from a collector in Sweden.
Over to you guy's and girl's.

Here's a Gold coin I recently acquired to add to my collection.
The coin is from the Eastern Roman Empire dated AD 457-474 from
the Constantinople Mint. The obverse depicts Roman Emperor Leo I
and the reverse portrays Victoria who was the Goddess Of Victory in
both war and peace. This Solidus was a highly pure solid 24k Gold coin issued
in the later Roman Empire weighing in at 4.45 grams and 20mm 
in diameter. The solidus was the main gold coin of commerce during
late Roman times and this particular coin was also handed out by the late Emperor to 
Roman soldiers for 1 months pay as well. 
The meaning of SOLIDUS is an ancient Roman gold coin introduced by Constantine
(4th century) and used to the fall of the Byzantine Empire (15th century). This is my first
Gold coin purchased and imo, for myself I couldn't of picked a better one to start off my
Gold coin collection. 
 
 
 

Includes the:-
2021 coin showing the Kangaroo and Emu
2022 New South Wales, Kangaroo and Waratah flower with Lion on reverse side
2023 Queensland, Crane, Bull and Ram, Stag on reverse.
50k mintage on each coin.
£109 for the set, delivered RMSD UK only.
Great coins in original mint capsules.
Still awaiting the 2024 coin issue.
