Arrived on Friday from @GoldDiggerDave. A beautiful King Charles III Coronation five coin Sovereign set. 
Love your work Dave!!!
The set is great to see in hand and I think will be a classic as have been the previous sovereign coronation sets.

Can we just give a moment to give @AdamDutton a big thumbs up?
Seems like the chap did the right thing. Mistakes happen, it's how you deal with them that counts.
👍

I've got the Bull coming tomorrow, then I only need 2 more the Yale and the Unicorn.
Just need to get a box to display them in

Hi Dean
I think your best bet will be here for getting the best overall price.  
Proofs can be tricky, but maybe if you drop the price a little or invite offers you might get somewhere near a price you are looking for.
Dealers often don’t offer that much more than bullion for some proofs, hence the forum is good.
All the best

If you order 2 coins it works out at £27.49 per coin with the discount.
Not a terrible price.

If it goes up... they'll honour the price.. 

Its a very funny market at the moment, I think it was the beginning of this year I could not source a sovereign at a sensible premium as everyone wanted them. Now its hard to sell them. Melt value of a sovereign is just over £383, this is a young head for £389, a £6 premium. I remember not too long ago young heads were quite expensive compared to their bullion value. I find it interesting to see the premium cycles in the physical market, I often get wrongfooted by how the market operates 😆

That’s great if you are one of the very few who are able to time the market. For mere mortals, tracking an index will probably give you the best chance of returns v risk.

Calculator above indicates around a 7% inflation adjusted return starting from the year you chose on the the S&P. Often quoted figure is around 10% which ain’t bad and probably better than precious metals.

VHS V Betamax. VHS won despite Betamax being better.

I love big circulation silver coins. Added about 25 to my collection of Canadian silver dollars. 

I got these two pieces of sterling silver from my local CashConvertors. I think I got a good deal.Their combined weight is 44.58g (41.23g of pure silver)So I figure I'm getting silver at £15.07 an ounce. Then again I looked online and the scrap .925 silver price was £0.48 per gram. So, worth £21.40 at least, at current prices.Monogrammed with AMB...I can make out the lion in the hallmarks but that's about all.

2023 definitives and George II

Something silver from the ‘other’ Australian mint!🤔😮

Today I received these courtesy of

Just a half sovereign to show here. Bought from the Royal Mint yesterday and posted out quickly.

2023 Reverse Proof 1oz Coronation Coin
The prettiest coronation coin?
Collected a bunch of graded coins from our very own @GoldDiggerDave, including this beauty.

Proof for comparison.

From BBP earlier this week. Had a look at it under the loupe. Looks perfect. The particles you see are on the capsule. Thanks to those on here who bought this sovereign to my attention. 

Another piece from Argentia mint today, this one a 5 oz Argentia King Tut Silver Bar (Ultra High Relief)

Silver and gold bracelet from respected firearm engraver Ken Hunt.
His work is really amazing and not very expensive considering the craftsmanship (this was £350 with silver ones being about £200)
Really cool unique work and my first pm purchase not for stacking. After a year of investing I thought I’d treat myself!

A few coins received in the mail on Friday. The first one has had a hard life, this 1794 Mexican 8 Reals has been well chopmarked.
The second is a common date US Peace Dollar but in a very decent MS65 grade.
Next a nice silver Belgium 🇧🇪 coin to add to my world silver along with an 1885 silver coin from the Philippines 🇵🇭 

Georgie my boy... Hello dad (credits to @KurtCollects)

Thanks to @Lr103 for the invaluable help in acquiring some 20 Bolívares and fractional platinum Britannias 

one last look at these before they go  into secure storage 😍
Not sure if I should send them for grading or just leave them alone 🤔 
The 5 sovereign is amazing 
 

Another shield for the pot from @KurtCollects - thanks!
