2017 Gold Proof Libertad's arrived... Off to NGC next week... (1/10, 1/4, & 1/2oz)

Happy about my newest GV Sov...1930 Melbourne "Small Head" with a mintage of about 75,000 (I think...I'm traveling and don't have my book with me). It's identified as Scarce in the new Sov guide.

Some older rounds from my LCS...

I've always used Marsh's 2002 edition, 1991 listed as C? Now looking at the revised version and probably spinks then, i need to go through all my duplicates again. I have at least 10x1991 for example.
A fun sunday coming up i feel
edit: Why do they have the long tail 1991 listed as R3?, seems like a mistake?
edit2: so it seems that 1890 first bust i was referring to a few weeks ago is listed as R4 with only 32,000 minted. Probably my rarest sov so far
 

Another 2 bars arrived today, 4 more to go.
Sequential serials on the RMC bars.
Looking more gold in this pic than silver like the last one
 
 
 

A bit of gold porn, the bars are starting to arrive (from Canada).
Due to shipping insurance limits they ship each bar individually and 2 packages at a time.
I have another 2 bars due for delivery tomorrow then another 4 bars to come soon.
Would be cool if I end up with 9 different mints
Also got a peli case so when all the bars arrive I can pop out the foam squares to fit the bars correctly.
 

Arrived. Pop 1 in all grades of dpl category on ngc and pcgs. Cheers @Jester

Today I received a 2017 5 onza silver libertad proof coin. 
It's beautiful. 

A couple of bullion sovs today from Sharps Pixley. Quite pleased with both, my first Jubilee head and my first SA mint mark. 
I was also lucky enough to get a rather wonderful book ?
 
Edit: I have just checked the date in Marsh and an 1891 London seems to be somewhat rare?

1885 Gothic Florin

Finally -- a 2017 1/4 ounce gold Libertad proof. Yes - it's the same design for years in a row. Yes, they are overpriced.
But they are beautiful and I need one...[emoji6]

Proud Papa just got the word from NGC that my little guy (please make no other references) weathered Irma in Sarasota and is ready to come home freshly graded!

I have been after a nicer than my poor YH half crown for a while, a £15 off eBay voucher persuaded me! A lovely coin with pleasant toning when you catch the light.
