My 2002 shield half sovereign arrived today. I won the bidding on eBay for this at £125. Part of me wants to take it out of the envelope and put it in a capsule but I suppose in the long run it would be worth more left as it is.

Received today from numistacker. Surprised and delighted at the grades. great advice about NCS conservation, it was well worth it. Big thanks to numistacker.

Today something a little different for me my first proof Britannia
1/4 Oz gold proof Britannia 2011
 
I ordered a bullion 2011 1/4 Oz Brita from chards only for them to say it wasn't in stock :-( they did have a mint condition proof including box and papers for £36 more . I would be stupid not to particularly as 2011 is one of my fave designs

I bought this from MCM for $39.95 and the next day the price was $99. It must have been a mistake. They might have meant the MS 69 was that price.

The slab is 6 1/2" by 4 1/2 " ... not a very nice display.

After waiting two weeks for it to fly half way round the world I finally got it My 1835 Gold Full Sovereign 

Needed to update as the pictures were awful.
TodayI Ireceived 2 pieces of Gold 
1/4 Oz Gold 2018 Queens Beasts bull
1/4 oz Gold 2008 Britannia
 
I have something special waiting fore at the post office so stay tuned for more tomorrow
 
 

1902 3p not sure if it is a Matt proof as it has a nice satin sheen that I can't quite get in the picture.
Been to SA and found this 1742 1/2p in a flea market. Cost me £8 so can't complain.
A QB Bull. Thought there was a double stamp at first but it is just so bloody shiny LOL
A wedge tailed eagle to go with my others.
Won some SA old silver at the last DNW auction, 1x 6p and 5x 2/5 shillings. Not sure if any are worth grading so thoughts are welcome.
Lastly a 1/20 gold dog bought in Dubai airport during a transfer. It was bought using my daughters 1st birthday money and every year from now on we will get another with her money so when she becomes 18 she will have a nice pile of the shiny stuff.
 

1906 $5 Gold Liberty MS63

Bought as bullion so pleased to see a proof turn up, no case or COA. Capsule is the RM screw type and has a few marks but the coin looks good upon first inspection
 
 

Before you ask I'm not hoarding as many JM bars as possible honest!

2007Britannia 20th Anniversary Platinum proof set - four coins, from 1 ounce to 1/10th ounce. Pretty nice condition; just really wanted the 1 ounce to go with other Pt 1 ouncers I have , but the others in the set I can put up with as well! ?
Question is: to grade or not!?! 

You can't beat a bit of Bully!
