Just received my The Who Gold Proof 2oz.
Royal Mint where kind enough to give me a little extra metal attached to the rim, free of charge.
Not sure whether to stick or twist with this coin?
 
 

No money, no problem... 
Thanks to @modofantasma for the trade of this little beauty! 
Top guy! 
 
(Needs a black surround to set it of me thinks!)

1924 Perth Mint Sovereign
Received the 1924 Perth Mint sovereign, graded MS62 by PCGS.
A sovereign that is increasingly difficult to find. PCGS total graded is 88. The 1924, from what I’ve read isn’t an easy date to fill and the P mint is slightly harder to source than the M mint.
Marsh: 263
Maybe one to watch in the future.

Beauty through the post today for a awesome price as well, 
1869 shield back half sovereign 
thanks again to @ilovesilverireallydo

Nothing fancy this week but cool custom made capsules for the beskar bars. 

2 oz High Relief Proof Double Pixiu
Difficult to capture the depth of this coin with my phone.

I think I've opened a bit of a can of worms here. Going to be pretty interesting when it's full somewhere about 25 oz fine in there so far with today's mixed world coins added. 

Today I received my first ever metals I bought for my birthday! x1 2012 Philli, x1 2021 Brit and x1 2016 Roo! Let the stacking commence! 

Stunning 1894 20 marks Prussia bought from the recent coin cabinet auction, one of the nicest coins I have seen full radiant lustre uncirculated unebelievable condition 

Won this in the latest @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions auction and very fast postage as well thank you.
A coin that has been on my wish list for a long while now, is this beautiful 1902 Edward vll crown.
This was the last crown to ever be in circulation and had a tiny mintage of 256k so I'm very happy with the condition of it and the price I paid.

Received today  filling a little tube of these

Hi guys,
Is this year the first year RM released the Britannia silver coin in the 10oz size? How cool is this coin? Love!

Something not seen very often in the UK & My first ever extruded silver bar, Made by yours truly Engelhard London probably in the 70’s or even earlier.
 
Extruded bars usually are more often seen in the States & available In bullion form, in the UK they are produced purely for industrial purposes as rods etc…. I have no doubt this was also intended to be used in the metal Industry, Possibly for metal plating etc…

They are produced by heating the silver rods at 700+ degrees & then pushed through heavy equipment & (Stretched out) from the other end…. In theory like when ingots are pushed through a rolling mill machine to create rings & jewellery. 
 
Fantastic piece so glad to own this gem!!!!
 
The other bar is a Engelhard Sheffield Smelting kilo (A PIECE OF BRITISH BULLION HISTORY). 
 
 
Enjoy 😊 
 
 
 

Nice load of constitutional silver through the post this week   again!! 
consisting of quarters, dimes and half dimes cant wait until I’ve got buckets full as a pensioner.
 
stacking on a budget can be fun from time to time, 
in two minds whether to go to the coin fair this weekend for some more haha
thanks again to @DuncanWylieWilson @Binny

Today was a good day.

Just received my QB's two ounce silver proof completer coin from the Royal Mint.
The lid of the capsule parted company with the body when I removed it.
Typical RM.

Although I am supposed to be selling I seem not to be. 
1892 sovereign to add to the collection.

QB 1/4 oz  silver proof set , little brother looking great 2oz proof set  will be magnificent.

Some bits and pieces from @DuncanWylieWilson 

Not in hand yet but had some great news from @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions.
Thanks again for all your help Lou 👏

90oz of Kookaburra proofs. I was searching for the 2000 set for quite a time now, finally got it. For me one of the best Kookaburra designs ever made. With a low mintage of 266 only it’s very welcome to my collection.
 
 

Consecutive number 3 coin 2005 Brit set. Very lucky to get top grade on all these coins and big thanks to @Clockpuncher for his help in sourcing.
