Today I received ..... this tube of The 2013 S.S. Gairsoppa Silver Britannia Coins were the first in the Royal Mint’s S.S. Gairsoppa Silver Britannia series. Each coin has been carefully struck from actual silver recovered from the infamous S.S. Gairsoppa Shipwreck. The original 1,000 oz silver ingots recovered from the shipwreck have been refined by the Royal Mint and turned into these .999 pure 1/4 oz silver coins. These coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
Coin Highlights:
Contains 1/4 oz of .999 pure silver.
Minted by the Royal Mint in Great Britain.
Part of the S.S. Gairsoppa series.
Available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
The image of Britannia has been associated with the British Isles since she was first minted on a coin in the first century AD during the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian. Today, Britannia continues to be celebrated as a symbol of Britain’s illustrious history and might.
Each 2013 1/4 oz S.S. Gairsoppa Silver Britannia struck from S.S. Gairsoppa silver is in brand new condition and is stamped with its year, 2013. Each coin has been minted with 1/4 oz .999 pure silver. Owning this beautiful coin that is stamped with “S.S. Gairsoppa” along its outer edge is, indeed, like owning a genuine piece of British history. The obverse side of every coin showcases a profile view of Elizabeth II. The reverse, of course, reflects the beautiful image of Britannia as she stands along Britain’s shores with her helmet, trident, and shield.

A beautiful 1850 Young Victoria Shieldback arrived today from an ebay auction. The condition was listed as AU+UNC. After receiving and studying the details, what would be thought to be a Marsh 33, Normal, looks to be a Marsh 33A, Inverted A for V in VICTORIA. Open to thoughts from everyone.

I don't come across axis misalignment that often at all, I'm not sure if I even have another. But this one is huge!
I know typically slight alignment issues aren't considered an error but this one may warrant it?

I have both versions of these, will put up a pic in a minute for easy comparison, not that it's needed but still useful
They are definitely harder to get in good condition, I've got 3 and all aren't anywhere near the long tail. (On reflection it's actually pretty decent, at least way better grade than the PCGS above)
Personally I've never graded anything, I don't need somebody else to tell me what i have
 

1901 $5 Liberty (0.23oz) Gold in "BU" condition. (Although the obverse is questionable on the liberty's face. Looks almost too shinny but the entire coin still cartwheels nicely. Picked up as bullion so I'm very happy overall!
 
 

Flippin' eck...Gold (and Silver) rush!      
This lovely little lot all arrived today, some of them belatedly due to the snow and postage delays.  But mightily surprised that the 2005 Britannia arrived in four days all the way from the South of France!  The Britannia 1/10's from eBay the Sovereign coins from Bullion dealers and thank you to @arshimo2012 for the 4 Emu's and  the 1kg of Belgium's finest Umicore 100g Bars.  Unfortunately, two of my boys took a fancy to the Emu's so only two left for me to stack!

In all the excitement I forgot I also got an 1892, this seems to be in order was cheaper and is going in the case tonight. So the Jubilee Head date run is off to a shaky start.
 

In the post today a lovely 1893-s Victoria jubilee head full sovereign from @MikeSol ?

A 1913 half sovereign , purchased from Ebay

Quick photo method using loupe!
1871 Sydney large BP. Only posting it because I only have one other of these so clearly more rare! Definitely don't agree with Marsh ratings on a lot of coins.
