Three more Crowns nearer to the target.  The Millennium Crowns are nuanced- one dated 1999 and the 2000 overlaid and highlights The British Isles in Gold plate.  Both with inscribed edges with the Shakespearean quote ‘What’s past is prologue’. The third Crown is the Diana memorial- another ugly looking issue, and unfortunately for me, in vogue right now and commanding a silly price tag currently.
Also a lovely 2022 Proof Half Sovereign bought on another group at a very reasonable price despite it being a 70 grade. 
And finally today I snook into town from work and found some interesting tat shop goodies- a Silver Victoria Diamond Jubilee medal and a Silver 1902 Edward VII Coronation medal, along with a George VI Coronation medal.
My favourite pick up today however, is the charming 1837 Victoria ‘To Hanover’ Copper token (known as a Cumberland Jack Token), bought for the princely some of £2.50.

Received yesterday, a 1997 Golden Wedding Anniversary Crown, this one I had marked off my list, but I actually didn’t have one!  
The Churchill is another welcome addition and the Victoria 200th Anniversary Piedfort will sit next to my existing £5 and the Alfred £5 will join Alfred’s larger Piedfort Brother.
Getting near the target of a run of Decimal Elizabeth II £5 Silver Proof Crowns from 1972- just 7 more individual coins to go,  for the run of the 83 I have chosen to collect.

Anyway, I’ve hijacked @lxy70713’s thread enough-l’m afraid no- one has won a Goldfish- the 1935 Proof Crown got a PF63 Cameo.
I think this is harsh- but I would say that wouldn’t I !!!
But it goes to show how difficult it is to appraise and Grade coins- I thought it might have got a PF65 and hopeful of Ultra Cameo- but it makes no odds what grade it achieved- it’s a lovely looking Crown 😊 
Well done @Arganto you were correct with the Cameo designation 😃 
And @sovereignsteve no, the marks aren’t as apparent in hand as the photos 👍 

Here’s my 1817 to compare- it’s NGC graded MS62- it’s just back from NGC after re- holdering, as the slab was scratched.

We love the French! An Entente Cordiale Crown & some Jubilee stragglers- the 1/4oz Gold is lovely 😊
And a Monarch also dropped by today.
Phew, the Jubilee arrivals conclude my Platinum Jubilee coin celebration- lovely coins, each and every one of them 😃  

Commemorating Her Majesty’s 90th Birthday this is a lovely 5oz Silver Proof coin.  I’m not keen on these rather silly looking oversized slabs, but there’s always the hammer.

😂 
Agreed- not quite as grim as the William & Kate- which is none the better for the Gold plate over Silver 🤮 
Collecting a run of Crowns is not for the feint hearted 😝 
Not sure how the designer could make one of the most beautiful women look like a Crack addict 😳 

Some more £5 Silver Proof’s.  The Royal Birth coins are Bergdahl designed and a nice design.  
The Sapphire Jubilee is a duplicate- but also a lovely design as is the Century of the House of Windsor.
And taking the rough with the smooth in this batch- a design monstrosity of the Royal Wedding.

I had made a decision to omit the Olympic & Remembrance Day issues in my quest for my run of £5 Silver Proof Crown issues, but I was tempted by a bulk buy.  Another Rabbit hole 🙄 
These, along with a duplicate 200th Victoria Anniversary, my existing one graded but this raw coin will fit more readily in my cabinet.

Arrived today courtesy of @BullionMan89 and a couple of days ago Jimmy arrived courtesy of @SilverTrader
Tray I provided myself!!!!!!!!! 

Soon to be received very happy especially the 1/4 platinum jubilee I think it’s a great design 🤩
