Schroedinger's Sovereign

Oh that is an absolute beauty ??

Ooh, they've been punched out. Yes that looks much better than my bumbling attempts at drilling:
 

Bought as scrap. Basically coin centres from a coin ring maker which were going to be scrapped - I thought they looked cool. Coins range from 50%-90% silver and smaller than a 5 pence coin. @PansPurse you may want to see these Hopefully you start saving your coin ring centres too  


 

 

On holiday so no silver unboxing for me until next week. But in the meantime I picked up some old pennies that might make for interesting coin-ring practice:

Yup, I think so too. Have to start saving....

After over a decade of stacking I finally have a strategy! Sovereigns and 10oz Beasts only as I think these will be easier to sell when required.
Anyway, 2 x 10oz dragons arrived today thanks to the @BackyardBullion group order which compliment the rest of my 10oz Beast collection - shown next to a 2oz Bull for perspective.

My first bit of gold:

Apologies for terrible camera phone pics!

Finally tracked down a 1904 Half Sov to complete my Edward, London Mint date run.
It's the lowest mintage of the lot and has proved the most difficult to find at a reasonable price.
 

You know how I said I wasn't going to buy any more PMs until the group order arrived? Yeah I failed. But a very very pretty half crown to add to my collection courtesy of @Numistacker

Today I finally received my forum bars. Nice to finally hold them. Postage took 1,5 weeks to the Netherlands, so that's good enough

My friends will tell you (incorrectly) that I'm a person of few vices... So I thought I'd get a new one:

Not a PM in/of itself but part of my crafty plans involving silver...
