Like busses - My Atkinsons "lucky dip' bullion sovs turned up today (took a while) along with my 1oz gold and silver Una & the Lion bars from RM. Lucky dip consisted of 2X 2014 (as minted) , 1X 1902 Edward VII (ok-worn-ex jewellery), and an ok 1931 George V.  

Not received today, but just had my camera out. Griffin together with Yale are my favourite QB design.
 
 
 
 

Received my first Full Sovereigns today! Every time(twice 😀) I buy gold the price plummets! Lovely coins though - I’m well chuffed with these!!!

Today, I received my 2 oz silver proof 3 grace's coin and it's gorgeous - perfect condition on first inspection.
I don't normally buy silver nowadays, but given that this coin was only available in silver at the time of release, I couldn't resist.
What a piece of art.
I really don't think I'd want to sell this (sorry to those who I may have led on!). 

Typical finally found a 10oz only now only missing the 1oz gold 😢

These turned up which was nice as the order wasn't showing in my account! 
Like the scroll detail on the reverse.

Latest CC haul

Nothing special just a couple more to my 1/10s collection and the sovereign date run.
Went for a slightly more expensive Somalia elephants as I liked the 2 facing each other, the Sov is plain boring I guess but the gaps get fewer in my goal.

2020 1oz Platinum Britannia   Received from @paulmoore . Splendid price - best available by a country mile.   My first Pt ozzer and, other than its density, I am not persuaded that they are especially attractive.   Not unlike an out-of-focus silver Brit.   Just expensive Ronseal.

Lovely untouched 1951 Festival of Britain Set arrived today, not a scrap of Silver in sight, just Copper, Brass & Nickel but my favourite arrival of the week.  Thanks to @Becca for the lovely Half's and also my Son and his Girlfriend posted over to me their Silver Three Graces  in preparation for Grading.  The Silver does complement my other Son's Gold.  I'm still waiting for my Silver to turn up 🙄
 


 




 

Speechless...

While I am waiting for my Three Graces to come, I have decided to grade my silver Unas and they all came as PF69 but no PF70 unfortunately , but this is nice to have all my Unas   
 

 
I have also graded my 1995 LD 1/4oz gold Panda, grabbed at bullion price
 
 
 
And probably the most rare Krugerrand ever minted with only 60 proof coins minted in 1980. with an honorable PF66. 
 

 

Second sovereign of the year, this one from the Britannia Coin Company's 'lucky dip' (aka best value) pile - as my last one from Chard's was a '58, we're on a (very) mini date run for the year!

30th Birthday today and the Mrs pulls this one out the bag...
1991 the year I was born.
My first proof double.
Girl done good 🙌
😍

Baby silver but a great story. Now I've found out about Douro sovs I wouldn't mind one of them as well.
 

1997 Britannia, the 1st special reverse in gold, lovely classic design. Been on the hunt for one of these for a while, arrived mint sealed. Now have the 5 Phillip Nathan designs! Will send this off for grading

Just arrived, go to buy a 2021 peace dollar and end up with....ok, sister number 7 of the 10 Philly sisters...ms65+ pop 74
 
 

I have just discovered a new dealer for me to buy from (In Geneva), and boy am I happy to have found him.
NCG -Daniel-Jolliet.com
Really good prices, goods better than described, and great communication. Two new Una Libras for the collection:-
A superb looking 1962

And an extremely rare 1926 (only two graded by NGC)

 
 

Not bought any gold for a while got this today just 2 more to get 

And finally to top it all off I managed to get this hard to find beauty. A 1/2 oz 2014 silver bu mexican libertad 😍

A couple of 1oz shell's from @StBeesSilver these little things are so unique 

5 oz addition to the gold stack.

 
personally like the Perth Mint double pixiu design

Just arrived...so added to the rest of the crew.

Some stunners in from MK Barz today. Not much more to say apart from WOW 
Enjoy 😀😀

Morning/afternoon people,
delighted to take delivery today of a 1kg silver bar from @arshimo2012 and to say I’ve fallen in love is an understatement. 😍
