I could be wrong but I don't know of anybody who has one of these or have seen one elsewhere on the Web (pre-Maple, I guess).

Another bit of @BackyardBullion poured silver for the pile, loving those deep ripples.

To mark the 25th Anniversary of the first £1 coin, in 2008 the RM released a celebratory set of 14 gilded silver examples, each displaying one of the 14 prior designs. The mintage was 2,005  - just 67% of the stated edition limit of 3,000 sets.
I'm not a big fan of gilded coins, but these are certainly more attractive in hand than I had anticipated. They were, moreover, a necessary evil in my attempt to acquire the full set of 75 silver £1 designs ever minted. Just three now elude me.
I bought this yesterday from Terry at Dorset Coins, Outstanding service - the set arrived well within 24 hours of purchase for a net price of 20% below that at which the same set would have cost me at auction yesterday.

A nice bit of BYB silver courtesy of the other half for my birthday, love a bit of free silver I do 

Some of the coins I got via the group order. Many thanks @BackyardBullion. Wonderful service as usual. Like the new printed BYB boxes as well!
As featured in BYB's latest In Focus Friday episode... Funny story - I was sat watching the episode of IFF while my package was in covid quarantine for 24 hours (so I hadn't opened it yet). I was thinking: "What a jammy b*****d that got them kooks, wish I'd bought some". Completely oblivious that it was me... (I'd ordered in Feb and forgotten what I'd ordered). They look even better out of the caps

 
And the rest

A rather nice double layer Queen's beast box landed on my doorstep this morning 🤫😀

All my lovely bars together.

Saved and sold a lot of my other coins to get this one, and what a beauty! 1826 George IV Sovereign Proof NGC PF66UC.
 
 

Received this 1989 Bu 5 Pound Sovereign to join my 3 coin set to form a ‘poor man’s’ 4 coin 1989 set! 
I haven’t bought any Sovereigns for quite some time and re-aquatinting myself with 22 Carat Gold makes me wonder why I had  taken a break. 
I think grading these classic and special year design coins has its place- but these are staying in their presentation cases and going in that drawer in the dresser for safekeeping- you know the one, the one housing the best cutlery, the Irish Linen Napkins and the Elk Horn handled corkscrew.

A piece by BYB, 

I think I went a little bit crazy on gold purchasing this week 🤪
But I’m proud to say that I bought all of these pieces from the forum.
Thanks @kneehow2018 for the 1oz Britannians. 
Thanks @TheGoldSovereign for the jubilee head.
Thanks @arshimo2012 for the proof Double sovereign.
And Thank you very much @UnoWho for the beautiful 1oz panda , I will not hesitate buying coins from him in the future, he’s a very reliable seller. 

More in my world crowns collection. 
these are stunning coins but highly faked for some reason. 

Postman making me a happy chappy today
Some reasonably high grade half crowns- 1888 Victoria and 1915 and 1916 KGV. The 1916 has a lovely dark toning to it and better eye appeal, but I think the 1915 is in better condition so decided to put that one in the folder- tough decision really.
An ok 1821 crown but with a few obverse scratches that are quite deep.
Larger than crown sized German 5 mark from the state of Wuerttemberg great condition for the age and size and a lovely feel to it.

2 ladies in one week. 250g to go with her 10oz sister. Thanks @arshimo2012. Glad I was on the forum when this beauty popped up
