Sovereign

1893 proof half sovereign 😁

LCS pick up today.  1909-D $5 indian half eagle.  A $5 indian has been on my bucket list for a long time, so I'm nerding out now that I finally pulled the trigger on one.  Now I'm hungering for the $10.

Someone getting excited lol

I finally ordered the 2019 1/4oz Gold Proof Britannia  from the coin connection. 
Cant wait to receive it. 
 

Had a parcel from Harrington & Byrne today, two more sovereigns for the tube.

Couple of lovely little bars courtesy of @StackSellRepeat. Thanks again!

I’ve been looking for a decent 1821 sixpence for a while. They’re not massively rare but it is difficult to find one in goodish condition. This arrived today and I am extremely happy with it. It’s a dirty little coin but cleaning terrifies me and so it’ll be going into the collection as is.
if anyone does have any thoughts on cleaning, please can you let me know off thread? 

Thanks @SilverStan
 

Just like the royal mint 50p 😁

This is the 2019 Perth Mint Swan 1oz silver bullion coin. They released this on Monday and the Perth Mint sold out within an hour. I got there at lunchtime and missed out but was able to buy one coin from a friendly dealer for the Perth Mint issue price. 

Just picked up this 1917 Canadian sovereign from Australian eBay. Mintage in that year was 58,875 coins. Its always great to receive another sovereign! 

Got this little beauty in the post today, thanks @SilverStan very well packaged too! 

 

Beautiful coins, only %3 premium, not bad at all.

Last week ..but just got one into a deep capsule today: a pile of silver BU Yales. 
Also a gold 1/4  Yale ....sadly got a tiny visible mark on the Queen’s neck, so this will not be going for grading. Yale side is magnificent. 

Thanks to @TheCoinConnection, received the latest Royal Mint releases...
An awesome 2019 1/4 oz Gold The Queen’s Beasts The Yale of Beaufort Proof...

 
The 2019 Peter Rabbit Silver 50p Proof.

 
A really cool design, in hand, 2019 Stephen Hawking Silver Proof Piedfort 50p...

 
And lastly, from APMEX, a 2019 1oz Silver Proof Krugerrand. 

My first Austrian junk, 100x10 Schillings and 20x50 Schillings, although you can't really classify as "junk" the later, which are uncirculated and bought from @HighlandTiger. The tube can take 30 pcs, I should have bought 10 more! 🤔
 

I received today the long awaited "Hephaestus" , third coin in the "Gods" serie from mint of Poland 

Harrington & Byrne sovereigns arrived today. A couple actually feel thinner on the edge than previous sovereigns I have, but the weight ‘feels’ good. I need to get a digital scale. 
Strange they sell these sovereigns so cheaply, and add all this fancy packaging which obviously adds cost. I don’t understand H&B: selling sovereigns slightly below spot, only 3 per household, all this unnecessary packaging, the weird sales call, no email on order dispatch etc. A strange bunch. Much preferred the process with Bleyer but maybe not the price 😄
Also a small order from STG mainly to get me up to date with the Queens Beasts series. I dare say that’s me for a while or the wife will go crazy.
