What could it be in the boxes?

Two and a half ‘special’ year Half Sovereigns- Queen’s Golden Jubilee 2002, The 2016 Butler Queen’s 90th Birthday portrait and the ‘half special’ 2018 with privy mark that commemorates the 65th Anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.


And cheers @StackSellRepeat For the PAMP 

Anyone missed this beauty first time around, there’s more here:
 

Thanks to @StackSellRepeat she is a beauty ❤

Atkinsons pre-owned mixed years Austrian Philharmonic 1oz silver, at £14.65 each including p&p has to be some of the cheapest silver I ever bought.

A 2002 half shield at 3% over spot, happy with that plus some ingots for my collection and bought half a kilo of 50% silver which included two semi mini coins, a 20 escudo and a Bermuda crown.

My first PAMP silver bar - 10oz of beautiful shiny courtesy of @StackSellRepeat

1900 sovereign, veiled head, from Hatton Garden Metals. Also came with rather nice box:

Thanks @arshimo2012 I received my Silver Proof Rooster, extremely well package, speedy turnaround and in perfect condition, I'm really happy with my purchase
 
 

These are the Monarch edition... 
 
Added 0 minutes later... by far my favourite post decimal crown. I love them so much I have 15 of them lol. 

Legoland Rules

Filling some holes in my P ATB collection.  2010-P Hot Springs and Mount Hood and 2013-P Mount Rushmore 5 oz ATB's

1977 commemorative silver jubilee proof, from the local coin shop

Received over the weekend but;
2 Aztec rounds courtasy of @h103efa


And a random eBay win was a 1/4 platinum 2017 Britannia. Not the best design by far but actually looks ok when its small haha. Looks perfect so will probably send for grading and then sell it.

1989 half sovereign PCGS PR69
 
 

A good day. Bought a loose double sovereign 2005 proof at an auction before the summer for £490 landed. Looked like this (cf pic from the auction website). Sent it in for grading after a bit of TLC at home, plus conservation at NGC and just came back 3 months later at PF70 Ultra Cameo...a perfect coin (£490 plus £65 grading fees). Only 10 PF70UC or DC graded in total thus far at NGC and PCGS respectively. Well worth the punt on grading from effectively a bullion coin buy plus a bit. A rarity. Not a massive win in the great scale of life but a nice result either way and a good chunk of bullionesque level British Sovereign gold
A fun day 
 


She is lookiing better the more ale I drink but all the birds always do  Joking aside, this is the first proof coin  I have of this year and to see it in PF 70 is engaging.

Hopefully this little reference will help going forward and compliment Marsh’s The Gold Sovereign. 

Not the best but cheap at 3% over spot for these half shields and the US 1 dollar

The pigs are in the collection - pamp suisse silver pigs - 10 gram, one ounce, and 100 gram. Collection is complete now to date.

Silver porn!! Beautiful

2oz dragon & phoenix coin
 

Finally got some natural light to take pics of my most recent pickups. 
From the group order via BYB. Really like the new 2019 elephant!

 
From @Madstacks for my nieces Christmas presents:

 
And some nice aztec rounds from @h103efa along with some nice 50ps. Incredible detail on the rounds:

 

Nice little pickup. The 2010 commemorative Britannia 

And my first peace dollars!!!

My first gold!!!

2 1 oz Platinum bars, an 1856 Napoleon III gold 20 Francs coin, and a Palladium Maple Leaf.  Ordered the maple leaf on  a Black Friday at spot deal, so I was very pleased when spot went up $120 within two weeks.  First time purchases of platinum and palladium.  Bought both at the recent dips mostly out of curiousity at not having any of either.  I don't really intend to spend significantly more in either.  I'm just curious where they go from here in their cycles.  If I was tempted to buy more I'd probably go for QB's and Ballerina's.  I can't stand the obverse of Canadian coins.  The Queen's bust is so fugly.  They really need to spend some money and redesign it to bring it on par with GB, Australia etc.

Received my Christmas raffle prize.  Balwick of Gurnsey five pound coins and a neat little box. Thanks to @Goldmick
