Amazing condition and lustre simply beautiful 

My latest date run sovereign bought from @Tn21  A nice  MS64 1976 Sovereign.  

@Allgoldcoins Just a date run for me.  I like these early ish QE2 sovereigns.  I think they are a bargain. 

Received today this lovely Krugerrand from @arshimo2012thank you very pleased 😀

Received this rather nice piece today (Proof 2017 5sov Coin) from @richatthecroft.  

£13,995?  Well, there's one priced at that on your website 😉

FM MATE!  I would have given my right bollock to get on early I would have clean it out!! 

Thank you very much @Liam84 for these lovely Silver Dollars and Crown.  My favourite is the Bermuda Crown 👍 

This, to go with the rest of the 2021 silver. 5 to go?

Dont give him too much praise least he can update his membership now, as he keeps on running out of reactions.

The postie dropped her off about an hour ago.
For anyone wondering, yes, I can confirm that it had a fantastic, chocolate centre. Very delicious, and I discarded the foil wrapper in the recycling bin like a good citizen. Sadly, the bin I put it in was lost in a tragic boating accident.
What are the odds?
 
 
Many thanks to @James32; a true gent and scholar!

And you’ll be thanking me for in years to come 😃 

Indeed I’ve got a lovely crown collection coming along which I blame you for 😂

Fantastic pick up- what a beautiful Crown- I bet a pound to a penny that in hand it’s 10 times better looking with lovely underlying brilliance.  
 
They don’t come much better than this 👍 

I realise the herd has moved on to the Gothic release- but for anyone who continues to follow the beloved Sovereign here's something that you might be interested in:

I didn't get a gothic crown. My sovereign isn't coming until 'mid January'... but I did get these crackers from @matt1r..
Bought yesterday, arrived today, exactly as advertised, well packaged. Hmmmm... I wonder who could take a lesson from this??!!

You guys will never guess what I recieved today!!!
 

Here you go then  
The full 10oz experience, box-drawer-knob-reflection 'n' all.


 

Here you go then for scale... my sovereigns are already elsewhere so here is it against a 1oz and 10oz bullion silver Britannia.

Two ounce side by side. 

Not quite your Gothic Crown but stunning to me 😊
