1911-C Sovereign

Just pre-ordered 20 them new silver roos from STG.
They ship on 25 September.
I'm just gonna get rolls from now on. Can't be arsed buying in dribs and drabs.

Sweet.
All the '59s are incuse but look out for the Ansell variety.

That'll be an awesome decision to make.

I had decided on Brits anyway, not really due to CGT but for the fact I love britannias.

When I can buy any MB of silver for £5k, then I'll buy a box of britannias.

Target modified!!!

The Zoo keep can keep his job. I've rounded up the last 1/2oz Lunar 1 Proof. The Horse! The set is now COMPLETE!

Finally got around to settling my newly complete 2oz Kooks set into their nice new Perth Mint case (thanks Cully).

I wanted to collect crowns as a kid but couldn't afford to so ended up collecting silver threepenny pieces.

Received a Louis Napoleon 20 franc coin from HGM today. They said they had two Napoleons, an Angel and a cockerel. I thought the angel would probably be worth a little more but lucked out getting the single year design 1852 Louis Napoleon when I asked for a Napoleon in the rare chance I would receive a Naploeon I.

Last weeks pot luck 20 franc from them gave me a Ceres head 1850 so I know I have 1850,1851 and 1852 20 franc coins off the top of my head and may have an even longer date run if I investigate my stash.

OK, for someone who wasn't going to buy anymore physical silver, I've just picked up at a small antique centre a 1927 Wreath crown. Not going to say yet what I paid for it, but I had to use my best acting skills to keep myself from grinning too much as I knocked him down a few more quid. Could do with a little help from our resident experts though on the grade of the coin.

More lunar animals captured. 1/2 oz Luna1 Dog and 1/2 oz Lunar 1 Goat! 9 down,  3 to go!
