Goldmick

Just received from @MikeSol
very pleasant half sov

Last week I received:

Boxed, capsule and COA. HGM £245.75 

The really beautiful sovs will be in my trays, I'm only putting a single die number into the trays and the rest into these flips, obviously the best grade goes into the main run!
This coin is a stunner, I have this photo as my phone's lockscreen currently! 
 
 
As I'm sure with others, hiding the addiction from spouses and always being skint is key for me
 

Die number run started 
 

Thats just pocket money for you

Gold streak...like that I picked up a decent 1974 proof at bullion prices.

Very nice looks lovely

Picked up this 2004 W 1/4oz Gold Eagle proof (PR70) for just $7 over bullion prices!

1987 Proof Half Sovereign.  Not quite consistent with my spot +3% strategy, never mind.
 

Please don't get it slabbed, coins this old look bloody awful in plastic coffins. I have seen it done to far too many Saxon/Norse hammered coins and it really drives me (and many others) crazy. 
It would also in my experience make little difference to price or desirability if and when you came to sell it. The vast majority of collectors to which this coin would be of interest are what I would describe as being traditionalist. They tend to be older individuals for which the joy of collecting is to be able to hold a coin which was struck 500-600 years ago, to be able to have a direct connection into the past. These types of of collectors do not attach a great deal of value to a few letters, a number and a plastic case.
 At the end of the day it is your coin, so do as you please. But if I was you, I would get an nice mahogany coin cabinet commissioned with plenty of room (to expand in time...) to display what is a fascinating coin and to most importantly enjoy it.

Not strictly a "bought" item as I won this in a raffle on Bitcointalk
A 2017 150g Silver Proof Panda :
 
 
 

Today I bought a pile of pre-owned Maples from Atkinsons. I had an empty tube which was looking lonely 

Looks like it’s a Krugerrand week for me. Picked these two beauties up for £105 each. He had 100 ounce silver bars too at £13.50 an ounce as well as 5kg Metalor bars same price, shame am tapped out, really good price for heft. Probably ideal for @mr-dead
