Phase 2 of operation "stepson's stack acquisition"
Today I became the proud owner of a 1oz gold bar.
Could have got it cheaper elsewhere but hey what's a stepdad to do.

I received 3 Bullion Sovereigns from Chards.
 

Finally tracked down a 1904 Half Sov to complete my Edward, London Mint date run.
It's the lowest mintage of the lot and has proved the most difficult to find at a reasonable price.

The next owner can have the pleasure when I eventually cash them in to buy more half sovs.

A: You buy of course.
