Still looking for a few £5 coins which are proving to be elusive at the right price so diverted to buying some Sov's and continued with my US mint HR collection.
 

Massive Thanks @RiverbankSilveras always exceptional quality piece

Another couple of coins to add to my Ghana collection. Just 2 more left. Great condition. Loads of history of military coups, government initiatives and monarchies told through the coin design. Very rare and ever been graded by NGC so I’ll be sending them off to be preserved 😊

May as well start with the 'cheap' one!

Nice three coin set from a secondary seller...arrived closed in good condition and a lowish number😁 give a quick check and put away ( dare not dig any deeper as we tend to find what we are looking for)

A lovely 1953 New Zealand Commemorative Proof Set.  Inaugural Portrait, fantastic Reverse designs and nicely presented.  
Sets don’t come much more satisfying to own than this.  My favourites are the Crown, Florin and Penny 😃

Like @sovereignsteve says, we all have choices to make and crosses to bear in life.
I rang the Royal Mint 10 days after the release date on Wednesday 24th November and bought a Sovereign and a Half Sovereign.   They were release price, paid over the telephone- free postage too.  That was my choice.

You are likely correct- and the reason why I have never pre-loaded my account 😂
I think you can apply for a RM credit account @Paul has referenced this previously.  I notice on your profile page when you login there is a 'Credit Account' section- perhaps if you wanted to load with cash from a debit card you can?  Likely needs to be activated over the phone?  What company wouldn't want to hold your hard earned cash to earn them money!
