Got my 2oz QB's as well today. Very nice coin. Looking forward to the 10oz!
Atkinsons 2oz capsules are a real bugger to open though. 
 

A superb bit of post arrived this morning, just back from grading..three of my favourite coins.

 

Finally received it today (thanks to BullionByPost) with a capsule, which I didn’t expect 
what has started 2 years ago is not complete  so happy 
 

I’ve received my 2oz completer from Atkinson and it’s already at home in a air tite I’ve been saving for something like this! Really fast delivery and good price too! 
 

Lowest Mintage RM Silver Coin Ever?   This unassuming little chap is the Royal Mint's 2009 brilliant uncirculated silver definitive one pound coin. Although the proclaimed maximum mintage - as shown on the CoA - was 50,000, the number actually released/sold was a truly pitiful 359.   The coin was available in 7 different sleeves, the rarest of which is the "30th Birthday" (just 29 released), an example of which which I was lucky enough to purchase last year. The quality of the packaging was, to say the least, pretty shoddy. Even the capsule was a flimsy non-rigid plastic. Given the 2009 silver proof was available at a similar price, the abject failure of this BU version should really have been eminently predictable, even to the incompetent buffoons at the RM.    Aside from the rarity factor, I purchased this second coin in the hope that somebody might own the 2012 BU version of this coin and be prepared to exchange.    There were, including Piedforts, gilded, frosted and "patterns", a total of 113 different silver round £1 coins released...my current collection numbers 112 (one proof is en route)...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The comparison of Earth to Mars is about $2000 .... lol

Well I ate the cake and drank the drink so down the rabbit hole I go.

10oz perth and 500g pamp with COA

In South Wales for a week. Went to Cardiff and some of the many arcades on St Mary St. My 10 year old bought this with his own money. 15 quid for 2000 years of history cant be bad. Bronze Faustina The Younger, AD 175ish. Obviously really worn, but a really happy new owner. All good. Hopefully my 2oz completer will be waiting for me when I get home too...

Postie been today , I now have my second 1/4 oz gold queen beast 😁

2021 Armenia 1 kilo Silver 10000 Drams Noah’s Ark.
Couldn't get it in a trade, but

New release from my uk friend at New Nostagia Mint. First uk sAc collaboration. Just awsome 
Also just had to have a QB completer. Full QB set in one coin. NOICE!!
 

Finally got one of those South African coins, the infamous Krugerrand. I think the deer looks great but some bigger antlers would really make it pop

Had to go to Hungerford this morning and whilst having a coffee thought I would Googke local coin shops and to my surprise found there was an actual open coin and stamp shop in the High Street. Popped in there and found this red leather proof set I've been missing. Great price and a really good mix of modern and new coins including a raw Three Graces. Chewed the fat for a while and it made a nice change to get something not posted.
The bullion Completers turned up this morning quite by chance as well so all in all not a bad start to the day. The coin shop is called The Coin and Stamp centre and is in Hungerford High Street. I'm not affiliated in any way just thought it was worth a mention if anyone is in the area to go and have a look and keep the small businesses ticking over😀


 

Funny story. Came home late last night and was dying for a wizz. Run in my bathroom to find this absolute beauty on the seat. The postman decided to chuck it through the window 🙄. Lucky the seat wasn’t up 😂

1 Libra Peru received today. Thanks to @Leonmarsh's post in gold deals. Stupid question but its got a bit of muck on it, is it worth trying some soapy water treatment?
