Added a fair few premium coins to my World Crown Sized Collection 

1916 Melbourne sovereign
These just arrived this morning. I’ve been looking for a 1916-m for a few months but I wanted to make sure it was a high quality example. 1916-m is a difficult coin to get hold of, they are rarer than is acknowledged generally and in the likes of Marsh. Looking at population/census 1916-m looks rarer than many other George V Melbourne sovereigns such as 1923/24/30/31 which range between R-R2. It’s typical having searched for a while that when you find one there’s another just around the corner just like the buses 🤣

Received today and straight out to @Numistacker so not much time for decent photos, all in need of some NGC TLC,
1911 proof full
1817 Half 
1824 Half
1826 Proof Half
 

Today I received a coin that I have been looking for it for some time now 🥰🥰
Thanks @Lindeman for this beautiful 1887 Quintuple sovereign .
 

After a long wait in customs after trying to charge me import fees of £300 it finally arrived
 

Another day another Half Sov
 

Finally got all the special half sovereigns in PF70 🙂

au 55 1818  half sovereign (probs be out the slab later and a extremly  rare 1884 Melbourne half sovereign 

Another Spanish silver 2 reales of Ferdinand VII - this one with an unrecorded overdate 2/0 and the only example I have seen 
I seem to finding lots of new varieties at the moment - the question is will NGC slab it as an overdate??? it will no doubt get a details grade due to the dig behind the bust but as the only example so far who cares!

Finally managed to get my hands on the book covering the proof and patterns for the Napoleonic coinage in Italy. It also includes the auction history for some of the issues which I have not seen in a book before so that makes my life much easier.
The quality of some of these issues also supports my thoughts that the Italian mints were a complete shambles compared to the French, Spanish, Dutch and German mints

Few of the more interesting world silvers I received today don't see these every day Nice toning on the 1812 Eighteenpence/ 1s 6d token, British West Africa 2 Shillings 1918 in nice grade, and the star of the show, a 1888 Mombassa (Imperial British East Africa Company) - modern day Kenya Rupee minted in the Heaton mint in Birmingham.

Thank you so much to @terakris for parting with the Reverse Proof Libertad. 

I could never tire of the beauty of the Winged Goddess of Victory.  
She looks fabulous sat next to the two other Reverse Proofs, and better still with the wider México 1/2 Onza family.
