A video from the Royal Mint just popped up on YouTube.
They are auctioning an exceptionally rare Henry VII sovereign on March 4th. Starting price £950,000 and they expect it to sell much higher breaking last years £1 million record sale price for the Edward VIII sovereign.

Ever since I stopped stacking (yawn) and went full collectard, I just can't resist anything in OMP. Even if it is 100+% over spot. YOLO. 

I received these great pieces of antique 925 silver from @HighlandTiger’s weekend spot price sale.
The gravy jug is too good for the melting pot. The Sunday roast just got upgraded, only my partner doesn’t know it yet. 😆

Picked up this amazing piece of history, my first hammered gold coin 😊


 

One to add to the family heirloom section of my collection 😍

Been seeing a few bars posted up, so made my first purchases of these ladies, along with a bullion 2021 sov.
Think I’ve decided it’s mainly going to be coins for me though.

My first Queen Victoria proof coin, the 1887 Jubilee proof half sovereign. A lovely coin. Thanks Eric @drakesterling

Received the 2021 sovereign from the Royal Mint this week. It took a while as I understand the RM need to restock packaging for the coin.
Well worth the wait. It has the QC “quality control” sticker and the coin looks great. Nice privy mark on the reverse. 

A couple more to add to the date run 

Many thanks to @arshimo2012 top quality as always  added these 3 for my 7yr old sons collection 
Trying to keep it as a surprise its proving harder as try to get a full set without him knowing - halfway there now as have hulk and wolverine
Just need to find the others at a decent price 
One wish I cant grant him is he wants actual wolverine claws grafted on when he is older 🤯
 

Rare is my 2019 silver sovereign mintage of 300,000 just not very desirable 😒

Stunning little 1/4 kilo bar from @Jamesd

This beautiful 1/2os lib just look at the rack from @BleyerBullion

Didn’t post these when they arrived. The two lady’s in my life (don’t tell the Mrs 🤫😅😂)

Saw this for sale by an Australian eBay seller and picked it up for what I think was a good price. A lovely 1992 UK proof coin set that includes the 50p UK presidency of the EU coin which I understand has a low mintage for a 50p. 

Another nice selection of South American silver plus a coin from Mozambique from @DuncanWylieWilson, who seems to have an endless supply of really nice coins.

Thought I would show the non graded collection of fractional gold which are mostly the Panda coins. Love them! 

It’s been a big week this week receiving the 1887 proof half and 2021 proof sovereign shown in earlier posts.
The last two coins for this week are a 1923 Melbourne sovereign and a 1909 Melbourne half sovereign.
i bought the sovereign from a Queensland based auction house. Lovely coin with a 511,129 mintage that year. 
The Melbourne half sovereign came from an eBay auction. Condition is a bit worn but it was a circulation coin. I keep a lookout for Australian half sovereigns as the mintage levels were usually low and the coins were used as money and many melted when too worn. For example the mintage for the 1909 Melbourne half sovereign was 186,094 versus over 3 million for the 1909 Melbourne full sovereign. 
 

First sovereign purchase of 2021 and my first (random) 'antique' one (bit of a clue in the picture where it came from). I hadn't any older than 10 years before this one.
