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. 
 

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.

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