Some lovely Silver arrived today.  
 
Thank you @PapaLazarou for the Britannia Set 😃 
And continuing my efforts toward a Queen Elizabeth II post Decimalisation run of Crowns/£5’s, some of the more difficult and low mintage issues, all bought from an Italian eBay seller- less than 48 hour delivery from Genoa!  I particularly like the Portraits of Britain set and the Victoria Memorial/ Buckingham Palace is extremely nice. 
And thanks @Facey1 for the Prince Phillip commemorative.

A cool little piece made for my daughter by @LiquidMetalsUKwhat a talent you have mate. Keep up the good work 👍😎

Not a bad day to be alive 😁
Big thanks to @SovereignBishop  @kneehow2018 @arshimo2012
For today's arrivals 

Lovely 1979 Sovereign thanks to @Goldfinga. Thanks mate!

Finally got my half from BBP, ordered 8th Jan I think! Although they did call to update me and sent SD in the end so can't complain. 
Contemplating removing from packaging to fill a tube and horrify some, won't use gloves either 😅
 

Arrived this morning 
 

Big thanks to @Goldfingafor this lovely 1926 SA half sov
 


And in other news, a completely different half Sov..

Some more stunning 1937 proofs. Some will be up for sale soon 😉

The latest Queen's Virtues proof from the East India Company - "Charity"

Few nice bits to add to my collection 😁😍

Sorry…finally managed to take a photo of the other goody that arrived today - a proof 1994 thanks to @Goldfinga
I didn’t have that 3 head of Elizabeth…really beautiful 
 

Mystery solved! The full sovereign came in a capsule, while the three halves came in blisters but with empty capsules included.
I think they are all the basic Lighthouse style capsules rather than being like the ones the RM currently use.

Another batch of goodies

Another few silver 90% proof US George Washington half dollars 1982, Denver and San Francisco mint in my collection.😊

Joined the club at last, courtesy of @ST1986 👊.
What can I say, stunning!!

Had this a few weeks since getting back from NGC but first time I've had a few decent pics taken.
The coin is an 1803 Large 3 in VF30, just got my wife to finally use the camera skills she's been gaining for 22 years...lol.
 
 

Received over the last few days- the Maurice Bull 7th Edition reference book will be helpful and the Michael Day book makes for a nice narrative and history of the English Silver Crown- these purchased at the York Coin Fair. 

Thanks @DuncanWylieWilson for the belated post of the Southern Rhodesia Crown, I actually received it several weeks ago and put it down ‘somewhere safe’ shortly after receiving it- found in the biscuit cupboard 🙄 
Also thank you @PapaLazarou for the Piedfort Prince Phillip Crown- he looks extremely distinguished in this portrait, and thanks to the Capt’n @CaptCaveMan for the Sovereign trade- and the Jubilee/ Anniversary Crowns from an antique shop and eBay. 
 

My freshly filled Bullion date runs with added proof for their birth years, to be stashed underneath. 
Hopefully they will keep these 18th birthday presents a long time.
