Ich hoffe wirklich, dass der Erzengel Michael die Ukraine beschützen wird.

Nice little 2oz completer from @Colnago and a very thoughtful gift of an extra capsule for my tudor lion.
Thanks!

Another lion in the pride. 

After a return to Royal Mint for correction, finally got the Gothic Crown in a perfect condition (still lots of dust though). Quite happy with the outcome  

I was expecting the Tudor Beasts Lion today, but was pleasantly surprised to get the Gothic Crown Portait 5oz silver. Only waiting for the 10oz now.
I am very pleased with it so far. Not had the Loupe out yet though.
There seems to be something about these larger silvers. Small things such as less dust inside the capsules, the packaging, the larger coin helps the design imo. They just seem better quality.

A couple more Silver £5 Crowns and a Piedfort £5 Alfred The Great.





 

Got these monrachs the other day, was super scared when I saw the weird swirly mark on queenie's cheek on the obersve initally.(ps: don't want to draw on her face, I hope you guys can spot the marks)
However upon comparison to my other JC portaits on my other 2oz sized coins(Gothic silvers) it seems to be present on all of my 1-2oz coins including the gold 2oz monarch. It is just particularly pronounced on the monarchs' coins especially the 1oz silvers. What do you guys think could have caused this weird but super neat effect, is it just how metal flows under the pressure of the die?
So I don't really think it is milk spotting on the silvers given the fact the gold coins has the same mark?
 
Ps: all the coins in the pictures are monarch coins, two silvers and one gold.
Ps: anyone know whats up with the QC stickers' business with RM, they only had it on half of the coins I got and they are all over the place, some on capsules, some in the box, the only consistent thing is all the coins with the QC stickers had QC issues lol.

These turned up today, along with a load of airtite capsules. Should keep me going for the next 40 years!

Got this nice little one Rupee from 1917 in today, a little ding but that does not take away the beauty of the coin 

Managed to get this beauty today, probably one of the last one struck.
First glance, an almost perfect coin,
second glance, spot on observe by queenie's forehead,
third glance, bullet holes by the right hand of the lion and tiny bits missing frosting peppered the reverse.
 
Hate RM QC shenanigans, however the Capsule feels suprisingly nice in comparison to the other coins I recieved recently. 
Does anyone have exiperence with NGC conservation, do you guys think they can sort out the spot on the observe?
Input needed, should I keep the coin or trying to get one restruck for me? Many thanks🐿️!

Just received this gorgeous 2oz of super shiny from @LiquidMetalsUK, so tactile and stunning. in hand, can't thank you enough

Beautiful. Thanks to @Fadeingstar

Could not resist this from @James32
 

A very nice 1935 Specimen issue King George V Crown along with its Royal Mint card presentation case.  
And also today, a  lovely 1977 Jubilee Crown, thanks @Ales for this one.




 

Delivery of some items from the Royal Mint -- came in yesterday. I have to say, the new Lion of England bullion gold coin is very nice!! It looks even better in real life. At first I was skeptical, but I've been converted...
The new 100g silver minted bar is also nice, but the premium is quite hefty.
 

These arrived today. Thank you Shawy2510 and AdamDutton
 

1899-M Half Sovereign. (Marsh 499 R2 with a mintage of 97,221)
Could be in better condition.
 

Got this beauty today, pictures dont do it justice it’s highly lustrous.

Started to put together a little treasure chest. Might need to upgrade soon, tho!
 
 

Here's a recent addition to the collection - I figured this forum would appreciate it, being a Sovereign 
1911C, minted in Ottawa, capital of my home country Canada. Most C-minted specimens are comparitively rare, though I believe 1911 is the most common of them.
Its a circulated coin, but in abnormally good shape for something that turned up in a store randomly. Likely an estate sale or part of a collection being liquidated.
 

Some sovereigns. Picked them up when gold was 1430 so somewhere in the middle of the chaos. A couple are ex jewellery which is a shame but they gave me them for a reasonable price and they scanned as 22ct which is all i care about lol.

A couple of 5 onza's 
2020 and 1998
And a huge thanks to these legends for letting them go @Colnago @DHD2020

Well a rather late but no means least arrival on Monday of a vintage Johnson matthey 16oz 1lb bar purchased in 1968 I’m over the moon to be able to add this to my collection  

Another 2022 sotd sovereign and yes it ain't perfect either just how most of them are i think.
