Perth Mint Dragon bars, .......thought they'd be bigger.
 

Special issue proof half sovereigns.

 

Today was not just a good day as @BackyardBullion says , today was a fecking awesome day .
 
First I picked up my part of the group order from the sorting office .
Then just as I got home the postie turned up with my 2014 Britannia 5oz proof which is absolutely stunning , looks mint to the naked eye I'll get it under the magnifier in a bit for a proper look but very happy with it for the price I paid.
I wasn't expecting it to be such high relief , Britannia has got some proper curves to her !
 

Went to Austrian mint on good Friday with some friends  , the mint in central but not tourist central/ central I didn’t expect much from there probably same as royal mint experience, boring   . Staff in aus mint are friendly and helpful all the way to the counter ...... , they even do a quick special tour for us without booking , however no factory workers are there and no photos are allow 
And they got it right  ,20 Chinese people walk in there is not coincidence they must be up to something  ( Chinese normally very low profile until  they take their wallet out ) ,
here is some of the stuff my wife purchase  ( I wish she paid for that .......not )

Something like that, there are a lot of die numbers to collect so this is the easiest way for now!
Good news is I'll have plenty for sale at some point because I have a few duplicates already
 

Soooo ...... just another routine 39 sovereign pickup for about £10,000 then @sg86.? 
Congrats - big respect.

This week received in the post a 1983 half proof sovereign I purchased in an auction and the 2005 half MS66PL sovereign from a US SilverForum member. Was delighted to also receive a 1964 Kennedy Half dollar from the US SilverForum member as a souvenir from the US, my first US coin! Very generous indeed. 
In addition now have my first Queens Beast, the 1/4 oz gold proof. 
A great week.

PS sorry for the poor photo quality, this is my first photo post and so hope I will improve over time. 

Some more 10ps finally arriving. Also my bit from the group order  Also today my Mum and dads first sovereign arrived as I have finally convinced them to save a little in sovereigns for retirement.

A 1989 Proof half sovereign

Then I think I got a deal on this 1899 Perth mint full sovereign. Not sure the seller new about the scarcity (700kish minted first year for Perth to start producing sovereigns, somewhat scare but not-rare). I’ve been outbid a few times on these at £280-300 so to get it at £240 delivered seems a good deal to me.

Yeh definitely mate. My mum and dad more and more are saying they wish this and that. Especially talking about a new house one day but they only have their pensions. So i was trying to get them to save more so its not just a dream and that they could move into a nicer house one day. 
Its a good feeling when you can do that and knowing he won't be stuck as he will have the sovereign.  

Good idea getting your parents into gold as a retirement plan. My dad hasn't got much in the way of a retirement fund and he's been retired 5 years now. Yesterday I gave him a full sovereign and told him to cash it in whenever he feels like it. His first ever gold coin so he doesn't want to part with it but it's there if he needs it.
