Gold and silver pick-ups.  
I’m late to the party in terms of the Queen’s Beasts Proof Silver, in fact my first ever Silver Proof! Very nice to see up close what the fuss is all about.
I’m finding it difficult to express my feelings toward the Britannia... Gorgeous.  And not even my favourite design, but I’m being swayed!
And to provide balance, some sensible and dependable Bullion purchases.

According to dios (Andres) DHL is still investigating the theft of the coins. This goes back to November if I remember correctly. Bottom line is that if DHL does not honor the claim Andres has no intention of reimbursing me out of his pocket. They were insured but not for the full dollar value because DHL limits don't cover that much (about $5k US dollars). Andres assures me they will cover the entire amount. The coins were in German customs for close to 10 days where we believe the theft occurred. The normal time in German customs is usually a day or two or the most. The thieves stole the coins and in place of the coins they put a paperback book in the package and put it back into the system to be delivered to me. But the thieves did one more  thing. The changed the shipping address to a address up the street from me to further their coverup and give them more time. I was waiting for the package the day it was supposed to be delivered and met the mailmen at my door expecting the package. When he said he didn't have it but just delivered it to a house about five houses away I as in a panic. I had the local police come down to the house it was delivered to to get the package before it was opened. Well we got it an all that was in it was the paperback book. The owner was not involved we concluded. The thieves just used his address because being so close to my house it didn't raise any red flags. They got his address from legitimate business he had done in Germany in the past. Some old-timer that I believe is not involved. Ask me any questions and I will answer them for anyone.

This thread has been created for anyone with a Sovereign overdate, variation or error etc who would like to ask questions or have them checked out by other forum members.
If you are asking for advice on errors please refrain from posting blurry mobile phone pictures! Ideally attached pictures should be taken with a macro lens, or some kind of handheld microscope that will clearly show the part of coin in question as you can see it, this saves a lot of guess work.
Thanks and happy hunting!

I had a bar sent to me mate Denzil down in Kernow.
He sms'd me today to say it had arrived.
'e says, Roy. Roy, e says, I got this ruddy parcel delivered today only it's heavy so it is.
I told him to open it. Carefully, I said.
He opens it and tells me it's a big ol' lump o' silver.
How big I said.
Like a pouch of Holborn, he said. 
?
Like a pound of rabbit.
?
Bout the size of me fist boy...
Frustrated, I ask him for a photo of it next to something I'd recognise..
.
Good ol' Denzil 

20 Goldmark 1912 Wilhelm II. Sort of the German equivalent to the sovereign with 0.05g less gold due to the 0.900 alloy. 

These look great. May I ask where you purchased them from? 

Some fun pamp bars for the kids
