Arrival from Sharps Pixley a 1876-M G&D. Shame about the edge knock.

That's a quarter ounce of gold! Well just found out that RM is sending me a silver proof Black Bull as an "act of goodwill' for them taking 4 months to complete my order... Worth it?

I’ve been looking for a nice old wooden box to keep my stack in for a while.  Came across this yesterday which is just fantastic.  I can’t wait to get it!! It’s a Victorian jewellery box dating for 1860-1890 and has been professionally restored.

I received these today
Would have been even better with coins...

You can't think of everything in terms of how many coins you could have bought, otherwise before long you're standing at the checkout in tesco thinking
" If I cut out this food stuff that's another 4 coins per week."

Trip out to local coin shop proved fruitful today.  I had asked him to put by a 2005 Sovereign for me, but spied these delightful little coins... The Sovereign remains 'put by' until pay day next week. oh, and another of those pesky little 1/2 Dollars turned up on the doormat, I keep telling my wife I don't know where on earth they come from.  Thanks to @Roy for some sound pointers and @Numistacker for the informative videos of these little coins.
 

That makes 5 little Brits on the week and it's only Thursday...
