Received this little beauty today. Was sold as bullion but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a proof issue. Has beautiful fields and cameo.

 
 

Big thanks to @StackSellRepeat and @TavexBullion for today's arrivals. 

Thank you @entsor for very fast delivery. This one going to friends as part of their wedding gift in May. Still lots of temptations on that particular trade listing for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

This monster arrived. Thanks @Rat 😀

Another PF 70 Yale arrived today, my favourite design of the Queen's beasts series. Thanks  @SilverMike

To make up for yesterday's calamity, another 2005 Sovereign to add to the collection. A recent arrival was also this Royal Mint Sovereign box. Well made, nice finish and removable tray to store other bits should you need too. Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo for the Sov 👍

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! 😉

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.
Here’s the 7 left to collect:

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.

The last PM Lunar coins, i collect. Not really happy with the design. A tiger should look strong, not cute. But still, nice chunky 5 OZ with a tiny mintage of 388 

A silver stacker should pay sometimes an extra premium for peace in his house.😊
Arrived yesterday.

Just gave my son this one. There are cards, way more expensive, than this one. I don't get it, but my son is happy, so me too.
