Hello, sovereign day today. Picked up the 1985 proof sovereign and the three coin 1983 set with the 1/2 sovereign, sovereign and £2 coins. So have filled in a few gaps in my QE II sovereign date series.

My first forum purchase for a while. 5 wonderful Black Bull of Clarence coins.
Rearing up on his hind legs, with his strong cheek bones, limp wrists and nonchalant smile ........ @649tom is truly a great person to do business with. 

 

What a great day it is today! Received these 2 wonderful pieces!

Hello, another two Chinese Panda coins today again from a US eBay seller. This time the 1/4 oz 1982 & 1/4 oz 2001 both in their original OMP. 

Picked this up for £120 can’t complain.

Some silver for a change.

Hello all, package arrived in the post today from Noble Numistatics. This was my only successful bid in their April auction that was held in   Sydney over three days. Bought the 1952 South African 11 coin proof set. They had two sets available in the auction and I think I paid a fair price for it given condition. As you can see from the photos there are some condition issues with respect to copper spotting (the King seems to be staring at it on the £1 coin!) but I think they will come out of conservation ok if I have them graded in the future. 
I saw a Numistacker YouTube video on this set a few months ago and I recall he said the mintage was 12,500. 
A bit disappointed about how they packaged the coins. They were loose and had moved about in the case during transit and were not in flips. 

Wet day in Perth today and so dropped into the mint and bought the new 1oz silver bird of paradise coin. See photos below. Took a look at the gold version which is much nicer but will give that one a miss for now (the gold have a 5,000 mintage and so will be available for a while yet).

...and I received a very nice 1857 Shield Gold Sovereign from @MikeSol! Thanks Mike for a great addition to my Shields!

Just getting back from being out of country for a few weeks and there are a few pieces I had received while I was away ...Firstly, however, are a couple I received just before departing. 
Added a 1/4 oz Queen’s Beast Unicorn of Scotland (MS69) courtesy of @mongo28! And companion bullion 1/4 oz Queen’s Beast Griffin of Edward, 1/4 oz Queen’s Beast Red Dragon of Wales, and 1/4 oz Queen’s Beast Lion of England. They all accompany the 1/4 oz Proof Queen’s Beast Black Bull of Clarence!

The Perth Mint released a number of new coins today so I dropped in and bought the 2018 1oz silver Dragon Phoenix proof and the 1oz silver Wedge Tailed Eagle in high relief proof.

A couple of beautiful @BackyardBullion 1oz silver bars. I really like the antiqued/blackened lettering and stamp on these.
