Thank you @Sparrowlegs4 for today’s arrival of this wonderful Sovereign. 
The bottom photo is of my 2017 collection so far. 



 

Something for everyone with these tiddlers. 😁
A few firsts for me in this lot.
Pandas, Kangaroo, Maple and Krug.

Belgium 25 Euro 1/10 oz Gold Proof Coin - 500th Anniversary of the Visit of Charles V 2015

 

Just Arrived, You Little Beauty!!!!

The final 2  1/2ozers for the 12 coin set😄
 
 

After some teasing from UKMail it finally arrived; quite like the design this year but too reflective to photograph it myself at work, so stock photos for now. 

Arrived this weekend.
The Kiangnan Dragon dollar and 2x a Dutch Lion dollar (Leeuwendaalder) Restrike.
The finish on the daalders is fine and rough at the same time, hard to describe, but they are really nice.



 


 
 

I got my first 2 swiss 20francs in the mail last week and loved them so i decided to splash some cash and went to the local coinshop this morning, this is what i got, 4 vrenelis, 1 helvetia and a napoleon(since there were only 5swiss francs). Sorry for the bad pictures, i prefer a cheap phone and 5 of these instead of an iPhone. 
 

Another charity shop find 1977 Sterling Proof Crown, this one in lovely complete condition, £10.

It is a nice affordable way to build a collection i think. Even if not worth a lot of money the designs are nice. Something nice to look back on as well once you have built it up over time. 

Arrived yesterday.  2019 10 oz QB Unicorn, and a 2019 1 oz silver proof QB Falcon.  First silver proof QB I've bought.  I've been tempted for quite a while to get one by all the pics I've seen posted here, but have not due to fears of having milk spotting appear on an expensive RM silver proof.  But I have to say these QB silver proofs really present beautifully in your hand.  One of the few times when I can say I prefer the look of the silver proofs over the gold proofs.   I will definitely back order and complete the set.

Picked up some rounds recently.  
 
 
 
  

Well today I received what I would say is the most beautiful coin I will ever own and was on the top of my wishlist for a long while.
1917 Mexican gold veinte pesos 15 grams of .900 au.

Not pms but still coins  

I love Gold Pandas.

Not really received today but..
Some really nice silver rounds and those new RM bars from @arshimo2012 - i was luckily quick on the draw with these!
Some 1/4 oz Queens Beasts from goldsilver.be - no issues at all with the order!
A unique silver coin from Zanzibar thanks to Chris @prophet800. I really find it an interesting design and also its from the home country of my folks!
 

I sat on the fence with the aussie sovereigns from chards in the offer. Im now sat looking at these sobbing 😥

The Poormans Sovereign, as I like to call it! Just came in today. Big question is, leave it in the package or take it out and encapsulate it?
 

Got this beauty today from @MikeSol and it's a stunner.
1872 full Victoria young head shield back sovereign 
 

Some eBay purchases arrived today. A 2008 proof sovereign, a lovely 1989 proof half sovereign and the 2015 5th portrait proof sovereign. 

1875  gold Belgium 20 franc.  Surprisingly nice shape as they were advertised as being average circulation condition.

Also from Chards Bonanza last week - my first gold Wiener Philharmoniker. Never bad at under £960 for an ounce of gold 😉.

The Isle of Man sovereign (with an old English sovereign for comparison). I love how 'gold' the manx one is!
