Excellent!! You will be well on your way with dead drops next!!😆

I did perform a premeet walk-through and realised how this will look on CCTV...
2 "strangers" smiling and swapping small parcels, in the dead of the night!  

Yes we did. I came in via Oxford 😋
My part of the deal. Spent most of the evening sorting through it

Awesome pickup, @Darr3nG!! 
 
Did you execute a safe Surveillance Detection Route for your meet?!?😁

A big shout out to @Tattoedamat, who not only keeps this country running, delivering who knows what to who knows where  ...
but also, agrees to a clandestine meet in a service station at stupid o'clock! You sir, are a gentleman, and it was my absolute pleasure to meet you.

Thank you everyone for your kindness 😁

Congratulations, @GavinDevon! Excellent win this month!

Received the 2020 10 oz QB Yale.

Regrettably no gold received, but did get some added Platinum to the stack!
Taking advantage of The Royal Mints’ 50% off sale a couple of weeks ago, a nice 2018 The 70th Birthday of HRH the Prince of Wales Quarter-Ounce Platinum Proof Coin...

 


Also, the largest platinum add to the stack, a 2020 1 oz Platinum American Eagle BU...purchased at the lows and before all stock went to practically nill...


Lastly, a bit of silver, the second in the Dinosauria collection from The Royal Mint, an attractive 2020 Silver Proof Colour Iguanodon 50p coin...

Bought straight from them. £13.83 per oz delivered.
 

Bit of a rarity at the moment so decided to go direct to RM, slightly more expensive but comes in a cap with free delivery.

 

 
 

Congratulations, @GavinDevon! Excellent win this month!

Just a couple of bits to maintain collections so far! 
Big thank you to ALL posties/deliverer's - out there keeping the system going!  
 

Anyone ever found two die numbered shield sovereigns with different dies before? The whole purpose of die numbers were to increase quality control and prevent the number of errors that occurred before they were introduced. Each number could be traced back to an engraver.
So it was quite a surprise when today I found the same die number but with two different dies, proven clearly by the fact one has an overstrike 🤔
 

YET! 😉 👍
Keep chin up and realise - that we are the -  "PREPARED" and are not, right now, being led as "sheeple" to the slaughter - By owning some of the good stuff - we are AHEAD of the NEXT STAGE of the CURVE!
I get your downer!
I too, feel extremely worried, for those that are less well prepared or less financially astute/educated 
I have tried (quietly and gently) over the last 6/7 years to "educate" some that I really care for -
to bet regularly with the response - "Don't be daft -That will NEVER HAPPEN!" 😲
And we are WHERE!? NOW! 🙄
As I have oft said - "Bert wert duz aye NO!?"
IMHO!

Received these with thanks from @terakris really pleased with them
Thanks again 
 

@CadmiumGreen - We could ask another respected "sovereign" specialist, member, if he has any other info that may help the "Forum members"! - - @LawrenceChard  ?

Found this article...

Here is an example of my R.M.S. Douro Gold Sovereign...1854 Gold Sovereign, “W.W.” Incused, graded XF 45 by NGC... 

3 lovely 2020 ladies and a little 92 lady Thanks @richatthecroft stunning price as usual and top class service 😁

Received this 2020 silver Swan from Martin at Silvertrader in the post today. Lovely coin goes well with the rest of these in the series. 

Thank you @TheCoinConnection for 1oz Silver Proof The White Horse of Hanover arrived today and ensuring you are only accept high quality coins from the Royal Mint well worth the wait. Taken its place in the beautifully crafted Alan's Queens Beasts Box only two more to go.....

Thanks @kneehow2018- not Mexican and for me a different continent entirely.
Beautiful Silver & Gold Krugerrands- the 50th Anniversary Gold 1/2oz Proof Krugerrand has a minuscule 800 declared Mintage- rarely available.  I think @kneehow has another Gold...if anyone can prise it out of his mitts. 

Purchased off an independent seller, so again limited knowledge of the COA pedigree. I have been searching for any indications of the COA based on “AMS, 2011”, Doug Thomas, RMS Douro Gold Hoard, etc... not finding much...I would believe there would have been collaborative provenance for NGC to grade these coins, just not certain of what documentation took place following the findings in 1995. Also, I don’t necessarily think it is a fake, but those possibilities always do exist.
