Finally picked up the two lovely gold one - ouncers that I bought in the dip a few weeks ago. A 2017 eagle and a 2017 anniversary Britannia. Nice to contrast the colour and the designs, with the US eagle of course being 0.917. Sorry about the poorer photo of the Brit - but I am reluctant to take it out of its capsule. Regarding the designs; while the Eagle is very good (and with a big ounce you can see more of the finer details of the eagles nest and the White House ), it does make me appreciate that the Royal Mint here in the UK is willing to take some risks and plays with new tweaks to the designs on the front and back. Lets face it, we do grumble about the RM and pile into them when they get it spectacularly wrong (eg the 2018 lunar dog) but at least they take the risk. On the US side - i guess it would take another revolution to change the design. Maybe President Trump will order a new design - with the genius himself on both sides!?
Anyway - back to the final gold coin - a cool pickup from a visit to the LCS when in the States, a 1923 Melbourne sovereign for the same premium as any other bullion.  Not in pristine condition, but this was a pretty low mintage by 1920s standards so quite pleased with that.  That one goes into the semi-numismatic pile of sovereigns?.
 
Also snagged a few of the annual silver 1 ounce designs - but my favourite by far is the Netherlands Lion restrike.  I could only find the bullion version, but i see now what all the fuss is about....and i may need to track down a proof! Some nice 1990 Canadian maples in OMP - i do like the old maples, and these are in great shape. Maybe being in the wrapper prevents spotting ? 

Two more half sovs from HGM 

6 X 1kg Metalor bars from Arshimo, sequential serials too
The pile of bars is growing slowly but surely.

1887 half sov PCGS MS63 
Small close JEB 

For rare coins/high grades yes! 
It’s for people like myself who can afford one coin at the time lol 
Might be worth it to grade some of your best shield sovs .. 
MS grade will add a nice value to it ! 

@Sovereign I love that 1887. I sent one in for grading with Numistacker. Mine is not half as good condition though.

2006 Belarus 50 Roubles Mute Swan PF69
 

1912 Bulgaria 20 Leva Proof commemorating the constitution of the 22 Sept 1908 (official restrike from 1967/68)
 
Many thanks to @Lr103 for his help in acquiring these coins!

Got my QB's back from grading. Thanks again to Numi.
