An 1853 proof crown in PCGS PR64CAM. A rare coin in any grade.

Got my coin celebrating 1 year of Ghanaian independence in 1958 graded and achieved the top grade! Chuffed ☺️

Something a bit different arrived today - a proclamation from 1806 detailing the new coinage for Napoleonic Italy. I thought I had completed the typeset of these coins but it appears I have one missing 😧
 
 

Another for my 2017 200th Anniversary Pistrucci heap

Picked up my first hammered silver, delivered today:
1247-79 Silver Penny Henry III
It is tiny, maybe 1g, so hard to get a photo.
A hammered silver Penny of King Henry the Third of class 5b2, struck between the years 1247 and 1279. The obverse typically features the facing bust of the king holding a sceptre, with the reverse showing the voided long cross with three pellets in each quarter, the legend indicates the moneyer of Gilbert and the mint of Canterbury.
Obverse
Class 5b2.Facing crowned bust holding sceptre with legend starting at 10 o’clock and the star initial mark omitted. HENRIVS REX III
Reverse
Voided long cross with a dot at the centre and three pellets in the quarters. GIL/BER/ONC/ANT

Just picked up the 1806 Napoleonic Italy proclamation at DNW today - it will go nicely with my typeset of the real coins.🙂

Turned out to be the real thing! 

A delightful Victoria 1838 Maundy Set, first year for Victoria Maundy Set.
Also received today a 50 years of the 50p Culture Set.  The Royal Mint excelled themselves with the overall presentation.  









This last photo for scale in terms of that tiny little Maundy Set

 

Bought some more bullion coins to add a decent amount of weight to my stack .
I sold a lot of my bullion coins in September when spot was around £1500 because I needed cash now I am buying back at £1340 to replace them . 💪😉

Received a proof George VI 1952 gold South Africa £1.
It certainly doesn’t have the wow factor of a 1937 Sov but still a nice coin nonetheless (and a damn sight more friendly on the bank balance).
Still looking for a 1966 Rhodesia gold £1 if anyone has or knows of one.

Just picked up six 2021 full sovereigns from atkinsons during last weekends price dip. 

Here is the 1923 South African mint proof sovereign, this one graded PF65 by PCGS. Mintage of only 655 coins. 
I have been on the lookout for one of these for a while now. Thanks Eric @drakesterlingfor this one, I will be keeping this a core part of my proof sovereign collection.
