2017 Britannia three coin premium gold set  This is the first time I have opened gold coins without being a little excited by the contents.
I must be honest they don't look any better when you see them in-front of you. My only thought at the time was its a nice chunk of gold.
The positive is they are in good condition and the box didn't turn up looking like it was kicked from llantrisant to my doorstep

Now 6

I've emailed RM bullion and mmtcpamp dot com to ask mintages for previous years
Not sure if I will get an answer but* doesn't hurt to ask  

Expanding the collection today with some recent Proof Libertads (2013 + 2014 + 2015) and the 1986 proof Libertad in box and with COA. 
Also 3 new boxes and some other BU coins. Started finally with the Year of the Rooster set also. 
My Britannia 2017 1/4 OZ gold didn't arrive today, i expect him to be here tomorrow. But already a pretty good day today!  

Just bought a 1870 shield back with a clasp on it...landed at £237. Now I just need to get the clasp off...hopefully not stuck or anything silly!

4 Proof Krugerrands back from NGC.  
Original bought 6. 3 from Coin Portfolio and then an additional 3 from Westminster Collection because of delays with my order from Coin Portfolio and didn't want to miss out.  Westminster coins arrived first and 1 went back for exchange.  Coin Portfolio arrived later and 2 coins went back for a refund.  Before I'd even received my coins they were already telling people they were sold out so I thought there was no point in asking for an exchange as there would have been a good chance I would end up with someone else's return.  I know that one of my returns did end up with a forum member here and there was no way that should have been resold as the coin  was scratched.  4 coins went in for grading and I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd come back with super low grades.  Ended up with 2 69s and 2 70s so not too bad.  Not sure if I'm going to bother keeping any.

Couple of sovs 

 

3  x  Victoria Half Sovereign shields and 2 x 2017 India Mint Sovereigns the later being from UK Bullion , thanks for the heads up Numi.

That's a treasure trove right there
How on earth did you manage to get a box with TWO Quintuple Sovereigns?

a top pop 1/4 Lion (as a bedfellow for the 1) from a lovely fellow on TheSilverForum..

2005 Full Proof Sov 
It will be going to @Numistacker next  

My first gold "bar" A 5g Credit Suisse lucky dip from HGM. Can't believe they actually put serial numbers on them. Sorry about the picture quality.

Postie would have been cursing today.....

2005 1oz Silver Kangaroo Proof - very nice condition 

My Britannias have arrived:

Crown gold and Britannia silver

In in the end I decided to celebrate the 30th gold Britannia anniversary with a 30 year old gold coin and the 20th silver Britannia anniversary with a 20 year old silver coin. Happy Birthday Britannia!

My first 1/4 gold coin can't wait

Picked this little ditty up locally for £255 which i was quite happy with 

Took a punt on a smeggy 1/4 dragon with numistacker's grading service and came out a 69. More than happy with that.
 

Recent pickups from Forum members 1913 full sov , 2016 half and a 2017 half sov

Picked this up the other day and put it in a bezel and chain. My new daily hardware  its a 1/4 oz Gold Nature Nocturnal Hunters Series with the Jackal. Had my eye on it for a while.
