These came in today from @James32 Nothing too fancy but my favourite sovereign's. Cheers lad👍👍

Ich hoffe wirklich, dass der Erzengel Michael die Ukraine beschützen wird.

Nice little 2oz completer from @Colnago and a very thoughtful gift of an extra capsule for my tudor lion.
Thanks!

Another lion in the pride. 

I was expecting the Tudor Beasts Lion today, but was pleasantly surprised to get the Gothic Crown Portait 5oz silver. Only waiting for the 10oz now.
I am very pleased with it so far. Not had the Loupe out yet though.
There seems to be something about these larger silvers. Small things such as less dust inside the capsules, the packaging, the larger coin helps the design imo. They just seem better quality.

A couple more Silver £5 Crowns and a Piedfort £5 Alfred The Great.





 

Got this nice little one Rupee from 1917 in today, a little ding but that does not take away the beauty of the coin 

Just received this gorgeous 2oz of super shiny from @LiquidMetalsUK, so tactile and stunning. in hand, can't thank you enough

Could not resist this from @James32
 

A very nice 1935 Specimen issue King George V Crown along with its Royal Mint card presentation case.  
And also today, a  lovely 1977 Jubilee Crown, thanks @Ales for this one.




 

Got this beauty today, pictures dont do it justice it’s highly lustrous.

Some sovereigns. Picked them up when gold was 1430 so somewhere in the middle of the chaos. A couple are ex jewellery which is a shame but they gave me them for a reasonable price and they scanned as 22ct which is all i care about lol.

Well a rather late but no means least arrival on Monday of a vintage Johnson matthey 16oz 1lb bar purchased in 1968 I’m over the moon to be able to add this to my collection  

Another 2022 sotd sovereign and yes it ain't perfect either just how most of them are i think.
 

received this from @CatStudent, 1965 sovereign (birthyear) added to my small collection  great packaging and quick delivery 

Miy Crown has arrived safe and sound as well and looking amazing. Very lucky to get and can't wait for the 5oz to turn up now. Should be even more stunning... 😀

Cool protype this evening 

In the same spirit as the 'today I received ' thread

Received from @shawy2510,thank you. Another 2005 Sov to add to the collection. Aiming to get to ten over the next 18 months so plenty of time yet and an interesting little diversion to keep up.


 

2006 Silver Proof Annual Collection #1 of 1   Before The Royal Mint landed upon its current design for annual year proof-set boxes - shiny black for silver, and the superior wooden veneer for executive proofs - it first ejaculated the 2000 "Millenium" and 2006 "80th Birthday" silver sets. Both sets included a silver 4-coin Maundy set and both boxes were heinously unattractive.    So egregiously ugly, in fact, that I have decided to replace the original boxes with their wooden "executive" counterparts, jettison the Maundies, and offer safe harbour to the appropriate - and originally excluded- commemorative silver proof coins.   The 2006 addenda are the braces of Victoria Cross heptagons and the Brunel doubloons.   A marked improvement imo and considerably more in keeping with their modern counterparts.   The Maundy set will have to go.

Another recent purchase. 2016 proof half sovereign.
 
 

Thanks @tallthinkev for the Silver Proof £5 George III commemorative.  And also received today a Silver Proof £5 Henry VIII commemorative and a 1972 Silver Proof Crown commemorating the Queen’s Silver Wedding Anniversary, still sealed in its RM packaging.





 

A very cool piece from Hitchen metals AKA OPM
