Apologies as ever for the photo, my camera is not up to scratch and just doesn't show this beauty off properly. Absolutely stunning in hand and I think it's even nicer than the Pistrucci SotD, I could spend hours playing with the light on this one  Also my first purchase from @TheCoinConnection and service and comms have been absolutely top notch, delighted! Also lovely low CoA number

Second pickup was a 2014 Gold Buffalo.
The depth of strike on this coin has to be seen in the flesh!
Turned into an expensive Sunday!
 

1852 Half Sovereign. Lovely obverse, bit of a scratch on the reverse but pricey nicey. 
Ebay seller turned out to be a local coin collector and delivered it to me last night. Lovely chap, we chatted for ages, much to the wife's annoyance!
 

Recent acquisitions from Baird & Co and Hatton Garden Metals. 

As a Fathers Day gift today: Marsh “The Gold Sovereign” ?
what a great book - don’t know how I have survived so long without Marsh...Now i dont have to Google up the branch mintages! 

Hello, received quite a few coins this week. The last package was from an Australain eBay seller and included the proof 2002 1/2 sovereign, 1990 silver £1 proof coin, the 1995 £2 2nd world war silver proof and the 1986 U.K. BU coin collection. A bit of a mixed bag and was really only after the 1/2 sovereign but the others are nice looking coins. 

I just got my lastest order from @BackyardBullion It started with the silver globe, one of which I managed to get hold of. Really love how it looks, with the finish and the base (props to BYB senior). Added another silver forum bar, a ripple square and some copper coins (because of the dragon design ?) to my order. I really love the ripples on the square. It's a bit difficult to properly photograph, but it's a cool effect in the lighting.

Also received some gold...
Added a first to the gold sovereign collection. An 1866 Sydney Branch Mint Queen Victoria Australia One Sov.

An 1887 Jubilee Head (London Mint) Gold Sovereign from an eBay auction...
And a “lucky dip” 1957 Gold Sovereign from APMEX.
Overall a good spread of sovs added to the collection!

Five Jubilee Head full sovereigns. No tail or legend rarities sadly.
 

Courtesy to @screamingeagle something to balance the stack after the SOTD
 

Just arrived from HGM.
Took a chance on a lucky dip DOUBLE SOVEREIGN that popped up and have had everything crossed for a G&D and not a commemorative.
1990... lovely!
 
 

I still question it. I still buy it.
I do love it really. It's a pain in the ar*e at times but so is my wife and I still love her too ?
