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

I really like this one too, first in a set of three...will get the BUNCS at least for sure

Received this yesterday.  Thanks to all who offered sound buying advice to me.  Beautiful coin.

The great captain voyaged his way through my letterbox today. I don't think my love for this coin will End, eavour!
 

Gold bear to join the silver one.

 

Got to say the royal mint upped the packaging for this one. Came in a box with all the little foam cushions. Looks great

2oz Lunar 2 Monkey - Been after one for a while and great price also

Todays visit from paddington:

Much nicer IRL than compared to the pictures. What did make me laugh was getting in early means you get the last packaged ones, so despite being one of the first I would imagine I have the pleasure of certificate numbers all in the 40k's .... did make me laugh out loud!

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!
 

Thank you. It has already become my favourite silver piece of all time. So happy I bought it.

Liquidated a lot of my medals and bits and pieces to get my hands on these lot.

No, wait...here it is! Actually opened it up yesterday and it is a beauty!
 

Changing labels, switching tracking number stickers...Way too much work for a thief at DHL. Of course there's a possibility that someone at DHL has the means and the time to print labels and research another address, etc etc. For an opportunistic common thief, very unlikely. So this looks like the same scam people have been running over at ebay for a very while now. Sender will use an address near yours so it will show the same city in the tracking info, but of course would never send the contents. So basically the neighbor down the block would receive a package with an old book in it. The tracking would show delivery was made. Anyways I'm sure you all know about this, but for some reason everyone has their kid gloves on when talking about the seller. Anyways to make an already long story shorter, USPS takes photos of every parcel/package/letter that goes thru their facilities, and this is how the scammers have been getting caught. Lots of times it's a thief from the shipping company. Those are easy to tell. The package gets delivered retaped and damaged or the entire package just disappears. Other times the scam starts at the seller's end. 

No, just plain nuts!!! ?

Interesting comments in Telegram overnight about the life cycle of a coin.  Revenue can only be made from those coins in circulation, why on earth would the destroyed coins be entitled to yield from them?  Open to abuse if one can mint new coins, redeem/destroy them and mint them again, receive income in perpetuity.
