Latest received this week includes five of the coolest China dragon restrikes...2020 China 1 oz Silver Water Dragon Dollar Restrike (PU)...



Also, making a land speed record from the UK to the US, courtesy of our very own TSF quintessential member and purveyor of quality coins, @fehk2001...A very fine 2016 Gold Sovereign Proof in PF 69, a special issue with obverse portrait by James Butler!




And adding to the bullion Sovereigns, a great quality 2020 Gold Sovereign, also courtesy of @fehk2001! He was gratuitous enough to have procured via H&B, thus alleviating me from costing H&B spending thousands of £ in mailing me their tons of coin porn advertisements! 😁


@fehk2001 also graciously sent me a nice addition of a 1988 China 5 Yuan and a neat NGC Slab condom!


Lastly, I blew the rest of my PM budget on a 1937 Edward VIII Gold Sovereign Proof (Replica)...yes, I am an idiot!😆

Lucked out today on the hunt. picked this up for spot. 
Qajar Dynasty, Nasir al-Din Shah (1848-96), gold 1/5-Toman (2000-Dinars), 0.57g, Tehran. Similar coin sold in 2017 for £240.

Another 1911 Five sovereign proof
O yea and it's little half brother
 
 

 

Is this the last coin, or is this fantasy?
Caught in a Mint 'queue', can't escape web reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
May be a poor strike, we'll get no sympathy
Mintage 'easy come, easy go'
Far too high, far too low
So nevermind the mintage
Doesn't really matter to me, to me
The Mint, just $%^&ed up release
Put 'Innovations' on the coin
I pulled the trigger, now its mine
Mama - series just began!
But now they've gone and thrown it all away all of us are going to make a shedload of money on the first one
Royal Mint, ooh, ooh
You didn't mean to make me cry
But if I'm not back again next time for the next 'proof'
Carry on, carry on as if QC doesn't matter
Too late, the coin has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Quality's lacking all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to grade...
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth!
Mama, ooh (anyway the grade goes) I don't want to sell
I sometimes wish I'd never bought this at all!
 
Etc etc etc (radio version edit fades out here ).
 
 

Thanks for the heads up
Bought one of these (I think) but was more interested in the gold
Ah well, hey ho 🙂

This is the 1992-1993 silver proof commemorating the UK’s presidency of the EU. Great design. Have been trying to pick up the EU/EEC 50p commemoratives and can then complete the collection with the upcoming Brexit coin.  

Really ? I think the spheres of influence extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine and are sensitive enough to create a cold war, if not more. Ukraine is just an excuse in this geopolitical chessboard
