Today i received a total beauty of a coin  usually I just buy 2021 sovereigns if anything - but once in a while its good to mix things up a bit and keep it interesting.

Got three peace and three Philly morgans, damn it adds up quick, anyone got the CC and o morgans?

Not today but the other day I bought my first silver coin from Chards - the 1kg Queen’s Beasts completer.
 

Watch out its addictive.

After killing my budget on buying a bigger shoe box I’ve been reduced to wandering in and out of charity shops today for my shopping buzz.... picked up this little neat box for £3! Unfortunately it came empty but looks ok with a bit of bling inside it!

Finally, Today I bought the 2021 Gold 1oz Queen's Beasts Completer.

Two more gold coins won in auctions. Tunisia 5 dinars (9.55 gr.) and Lichtenstein medal (6.95 gr.)
 

Stopped by my go to LCS today to buy some of the Mayflower 400th Anniversary gold and silver coins.  He knew I had missed out on them on the release day cuz the Mint changed the normal release time.  He bought some from a customer yesterday and called me right away. 
Picked up the gold and silver 2 coin sets as well as the gold reverse proof coin.  I also bought a few coins to fill some holes in my U.S. Type set.

Back from grading at long last👍👍

I actually received this yesterday.  It slightly sad the the first rule of fight club gold stacking is never to talk about it, so I can't tell friends or neighbours.
However, since I am excited about this, I thought I would add it here.  My first ever 1oz gold coin: a QB Completer!
Only bullion, but apart from some very minor scratches around the rim, whch I think are due to it rubbing against another coin in the tube, it looks perfect to me.
I had been agonising about getting an ordinary Britannia, but I think this was worth the small extra cost in the grand scheme of things. 🙂

This beauty arrived yesterday…! I dont have any of the beasts themselves, though couldn’t resist owning the completer. The design is just fab. Bullion is all I could stretch to for this!

2013 Silver Proof Britannia 5-Coin Collection   Although this Britannia design is not high up on everybody's list, its simplicity makes it my own personal favourite. Actual mintage 3087.   The set was an extremely reasonable price and, aside from a little hazing on the 1/10th and 1/20th ozt coins, was otherwise immaculate.

My very first 1oz of gold piece. Hopefully more to come… suit’s my collection very well!
 

Little bit of gold!

Recent grading results- The silver ones!
It’s been a bigger submission than normal for me so I thought I’d give a shout out to Karl 1817 - The Modern Sovereign Collector for his help getting them graded. It’s taken a while to get them posted as I had the little matter of getting married last weekend 💒🥳.
I think imho the design of the year is Gary Breeze design - 5oz silver QE2 95th Birthday. Glad to see that’s come back top pop. Anyone who hasn’t seen it up close, I’d recommend you do so. It’s a real standout.
As I’ve mentioned to a few friends on the site, I think the diversity Britannia is great design too, perhaps second only to Gary Breezes above. It’s a coin which given its limited mintage and being the first 2oz silver Britannia, will be a key coin in the future...so I got a few. Many of which were bought from tsf members. Thanks for that 👍. Most came back 70 with a couple of 69s. I’ve posted just one for brevity.
The other pics are of the two coin Britannia silver sets - the £2 silver reverse & proof Britannias. Im looking to pick up the reverses for 2016-2020, so if anyone wishes to sell theirs please get in touch. I’d also consider a swap should that be preferable. Anyway enjoy!

Beauty through the post today for a awesome price as well, 
1869 shield back half sovereign 
thanks again to @ilovesilverireallydo

Nothing fancy this week but cool custom made capsules for the beskar bars. 

Oh my god , I’m in love with this boxed set of queen beasts that come today , I’m over the moon now I have the 10 coin set 😍 

My late arrivals. Just a fantastic coin x2

2 oz High Relief Proof Double Pixiu
Difficult to capture the depth of this coin with my phone.

I think I've opened a bit of a can of worms here. Going to be pretty interesting when it's full somewhere about 25 oz fine in there so far with today's mixed world coins added. 

Big and Beautiful Britannia! 
 
Couldn’t resist buying instead of a sov this month

1924 Perth Mint Sovereign
Received the 1924 Perth Mint sovereign, graded MS62 by PCGS.
A sovereign that is increasingly difficult to find. PCGS total graded is 88. The 1924, from what I’ve read isn’t an easy date to fill and the P mint is slightly harder to source than the M mint.
Marsh: 263
Maybe one to watch in the future.
