Cracking 2012 bullion sovereign from @matt1r who is a total gentleman.

Last but not least 2 other pieces through the door today
Thanks @Chrispringle85for liberating some more money from my account 😂
After my Mexican madness of recent weeks couldent not bring home a Veinte peso
And also 5 more 25 peso's 

My only RM weakness, never pay issue price though.

And thanks @ChrisSilverand the silver forum . My first win 😀😀
Just happens to be one of my favourite coins of 2020

Little shout out today
So I saw we had a new forum member that has been working with TSF. Spoke to the guys over at @SilverAngelPouring and figured I need to see what there all about as most of u know I love my hand poured silver
I ordered a mini little kitkat bar and am so happy with it. Packaging cost and service awsome. The bar well see for your selves guys ....
I love it 
Welcome aboard and I look forward to more silver in tbe future 

Another 2005 to add to my collection and fresh from the CC auction. Won this 1/2 oz Britannia on my last bid (honest) and really pleased now its turned up. Considering the 1 oz, same grade, sold for 4 times the price of this I'm now thinking this is a bit of a bargain. Cheers everyone.

The top 2009 bullion sovereign is from @BritanniaCoinCompany who once again provide great service.
The second 2004 Proof is from an ebayer seller where I’ve come to negotiate a price on dates I’m after, as proving reliable on them. So another 2 gaps filled in my kids date runs.

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. 
 

Finally got my hands on a weeks old parcel today, that had the last piece of my first collecting goal that I set for myself. Full set complete. Just need to see @Alun about a nice new home for them now 😂
Thank you to all the members I have bought from at some great prices.

Don’t have much numismatic silver just pieces I like but I thought I’d try my luck with this and achieved a 70! Goes perfectly with the carded version and mask I got from @StBeesSilver 😊

I didn't actually technically receive this, but... I went for a walk (local) with my dad and his dog today and we chatted for a while. He quite likes silver himself, in fact I got into it through him. On last weeks walk we got chatting about the Una & the Lion craziness. Today when we got back to his (I didn't go in, stood at the conservatory door with my mask on!) he said he had something to show me, then he produced this. Sorry about the photos but it was the best I could manage under the circumstances.

1kg proof. Gobsmacked. The most beautiful silver I have ever seen, let alone held. Great day!

Just before Xmas got myself a couple of 1kg bars. I really like the cast bars and I was hoping to get a couple but these were the ones I ended up ordering and really happy with them! If you're looking for silver bars definitely consider these. (and a T rex coin in the background because why not) 
 
 

Was lucky to get 2 of the first 100.
Sold out in under 90 seconds

I've recently decided to work on completing a U.S. Type Set.  It's something I've thought of doing for a couple years now.  S I bought an Intercept Shield U.S. Type Set album, and went to one of my favorite LCS' to see about filling some holes.  Besides some modern clad stuff I needed, the interesting bits were an 1826 Capped Bust half dollar that I had to have as soon as I saw it.  It has wonderful details for being a circulated sample.  I also got an 1867 2 cent piece, 1943 Walking Liberty and 1955 Franklin half dollars, and an 1922 Peace Dollar. 
I know this is going to take me quite a while to complete.  The plan is to buy MS grade for as many of the coins as possible, up to the point where they cost an arm and a leg to buy, and try going for VF/EF/AU for those.

Today bought my next in the ms65 peace dollar set, 1934 p peace dollar...an offer was made and I was hooked, now I'm half way through the date set....just got to wait 6 months while the post rear their new postal mule.

Firstly, i've shed a fair bit of Gold weight lately to make way for a very special purchase and I would like to extend thanks to all the forum members who purchased coins from me to make it possible.  You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated 😀 
And secondly, and once again, thank you very much for all the effort, time and patience! That @SilverMike, @Roy & @Elements provided, in terms of helping to guide me into making this fantastic acquisition 👍😃
So, what exactly is in the box? 🤷‍♂️  

 
It needs no introductions...
 



 
And maybe, just maybe that 5 Pound is Ultra Cameo?  The Obverse certainly meets the criteria! 😉

2018 RAM "25" Anniversary Privy Silver FrUnc Kangaroo   This coin is something of a quandary to me, The RAM confirmed to me last year that the 2018 Roobar - of which this coin was a part-  was released with a mintage of 1922 from a maximum 5000. I saw this coin available in two different locations...and so decided to make this my last VAT-free purchase from Germany. Needless to say, it got stuck in Europe before eventually limping its way home to me.   I await precise information from the Royal Australian Mint, having fired off an inquisitorial missive in their direction. Still, it has saved me any undue consideration as to how to display this roo.   Unlike the four "official" members of the "Seasons Change" series, this anniversary privy version sports the initials SMS of its designer, Stevan Stojanovic. Who he?   This 2018 "Summer" Skippy is probably the most pleasing of the four seasons and, in my opinion, the frosting makes for the FrUnc being more attractive than the Proof.   

Fantastic service from @BritanniaCoinCompany nice little pick up of an 1982 half sovereign and a 1987 1/10oz Brit.
 

Wow thanks @RiverbankSilver

Lovely suprise in the post today from a fellow collector. Very kind gesture indeed from someone who knows me to well 😂

This really cool bar from @Stacker2020

Finally, I was going through some gold withdrawal over Christmas and picked this up for the gold collection...an 1894 $10 Liberty Head Eagle!

Did we think that was all??? Not in the least...thanks to the postal system getting clobbered over the better part of a month, everything arrived practically all at once.
