Still looking for a few £5 coins which are proving to be elusive at the right price so diverted to buying some Sov's and continued with my US mint HR collection.

Royal Mint 2017 Silver Proof Collection
Mintage - 609.
I'm not entirely sure how I ended up collecting these sets, but at least they aren't as mindnumbingly boring as silver Maples or Phillies et al.
I prefer the wooden "Premium Proof" boxes for storage as opposed to the original shiny black boxes.  As yet I haven't landed the 2017 for this collection. Let me know if you know of one for sale.
My second set of such photos - down to about 10 minutes "arrangement" time now @TheShinyStuff. Donning and removing the gloves is a bit of a pisser.
 

A lovely 1953 New Zealand Commemorative Proof Set.  Inaugural Portrait, fantastic Reverse designs and nicely presented.  
Sets don’t come much more satisfying to own than this.  My favourites are the Crown, Florin and Penny 😃 

After almost two weeks wait (had to self isolate due to Covid) I picked these babies up today.
All inspected and in great condition.  No capsules had come undone and to the naked eye they look perfect.

Ok folks my coin sets and single sov arrived this morning (still awaiting the print).

They are absolutely stunning coins.
Unfortunately, when I opened one of the three coin sets, the quarter sov was out of its capsule. I have looked at it under x10 magnification and it looks fine, though RM will certainly be getting this feedback.
I thought that it was pretty cool that the three coin sets I got are COA 31 and 32. Imagine if the print was number 31 or 32, that would be pretty cool.
Am in a pickle as I was planning on selling one of the sets but now I feel like I may keep everything! 

Finally received my 2022 Proof Sovereign set. All seems to be good 😀
 

Unfortunately this has been going on for some time, in fact two or three years. A couple of years ago i ordered a gold five pound from them and when the postie handed it to me the parcel had a rattle and i feared the worst. I sent the coin back and had a serious rant and with subsequent orders they had started putting extra foam packing inside the case that stopped the coin from escaping from it's capsule. Not the best of solutions but it seemed to work, the old screw capsule was far superior.
 

Quite a few panthers turning up today. Received my flawless 5oz and it is really stunning. Very rarely buy silver and not used to handling coins of this size !

Received my first ever proof coins today! Extremely happy, the £5 sovereign is a delight to behold and really brings out the detail!
Though I fear this venture into proof coins will prove addictive for me going forward, help!
 

My set will be not be going for grading, personally i prefer the sets to remain in thier original case / box. 
They may be worth more in a 70 grade but they just look so good in their walnut case.
