My 1/4 oz proof platinum Britannia arrived today from @BritanniaCoinCompany@BritanniaCoinCompany as well as a 1oz 2021 silver Britannia from elsewhere.

Today I received a very bizarrely flip-toned 1923 peace dollar. Love it!

Sold some unwanted stuff on eBay so a guilt free sovereign for me!! 
And a couple more grams added.
Cheers Mr Postman!

A very nice chunk of silver also arrived today from canada . 

1/5 Peru Libra to join the 1 Libra and 1/2 libra 
3 little Aztec’s snug in a case 

Group buy from @SVcollector received in 2 days from Greece!
 

Bought some more bullion coins to add a decent amount of weight to my stack .
I sold a lot of my bullion coins in September when spot was around £1500 because I needed cash now I am buying back at £1340 to replace them . 💪😉

A couple of additions to the stack courtesy of @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions, thank you!

My full and ever growing Mexican stack. I've had to sell a few things latley to make way for some new but it as been more than worth it

My U.S. minted gold stack.
Sure do miss the "pre-Covid" prices...

Received a proof George VI 1952 gold South Africa £1.
It certainly doesn’t have the wow factor of a 1937 Sov but still a nice coin nonetheless (and a damn sight more friendly on the bank balance).
Still looking for a 1966 Rhodesia gold £1 if anyone has or knows of one.

1/20th oz


A tube of silver 🥈🥈

Order placed yesterday with Sharps Pixley arrived this morning 3 Elizabeth pre decimal sovereigns in lovely condition

The newest member of the family, welcome miss 1934....now half way through the date run at 65...she's a beaut.
 
 

After what has been nearly a 2 month wait, this lovely 2016 Proof 2Sov eventually arrived and very satisfying it is too (other than the annoying tiny black fleck on the inside of the slab at the bottom left). I know in purest terms it shouldn’t sit amongst the special reverses, but I couldn't help myself lining them up when I was cataloguing it prior to coming away from its new home, photos not to my normal standard as I forgot to take my lens, sorry...

Lovely little bar.

Over the weekend I got my first platinum coins! Two 2017 Quarter Ounce Proof Britannia courtesy of the Britannia Coin Company! They're quite nice and very different from other Brit designs - not sure the pictures do them justice. They are slightly smaller than a gold quarter ounce due to the difference in metal density. 

1/10 Brit 
Thank you @magpie79

Knowing I had an interest in coins and precious metals, my father just handed me a small bag of coins and notes, which had been given to him, a few years ago by a family friend.
Mostly non-precious world coins and old pennies etc. and some US/UK junk silver, but there were a few surprises - a few uncirculated £1 notes (with XX and XXX serial numbers) and 3 Lovely Ladies Looking Left:

Well yesterday I received this stunning piece of art. The ultra high relief 5oz Elephant from the Ivory Coast Big Five series.
Also received 4 lunar 3’s 5oz’rs 2020 year of the Mouse. 

Received in the last week, thanks @SVcollector & @sovereignsteve for their efforts in delivering this lovely condition Gillick Portrait Sovereign and a Coin Cabinet purchase. 


 

Some modest buys. At the tail end of a 5 week month that included xmas. Still got to scratch the itch though...

Finally got round to picking up a 2019 oriental. They sit well in a repurposed case.

And these spotless 2012 dragons. The half and the full ounce. At £36 the pair from a local guy I couldn't not buy them.
Itch scratched. Only days until payday again...

Thanks @RacerCool, it sure is a keeper. Each regiment has there own regimental shop which sell stuff like this and also other bits and bobs for keep sakes or for special occasions. 23 has only recently had their 60th anniversary so they produced bottles of gin/whiskey/port etc (such as the bottle below) with special labels on for the lads to buy as keep sakes. They also now and again do one off pieces where they will go to some big well known watch companys and get special custom watches done. Normally it’s with the regiments badge on and also their rank, name and number on etc but unfortunately it’s all stuff they have to pay for 👍
