Provvidenza

Albeit that I have allowed myself some nice distractions along the way, I have finally added these two year dates to complete the eight released ‘red box’ editions of Half Sovereigns.  This in my wider quest to fill a 1980 through to present day, date run of Half Proof Sovereigns.  How I admire these little coins.  





And one of the distractions received today

 
 

Finally received my latest order from @BackyardBullion. Took just over two weeks via regular mail. Not too bad during the holiday season.
Of-course the pieces itself are a nice addition again. The leaf is a bit more chunky than I expected. Very nice.

20 1 oz rounds.  Last tube to complete a 500 oz monster box of cheap bullion that will be my "first to sell" if and when that time comes.

Received a couple of these little beauties...1915 Austria Gold 1 Ducat BU Prooflike. These may be the smallest of my gold coins, but they are quite big in asthetic appeal!

A lovely 1988 proof .925 sterling £1 coin.

My first 10oz bar!!! She is beautiful!!! Thank you Royal Mint!!!

Sextuple half Sovereigns 10% discount, care of ebay and @shawy2510

Atkinsons pre-owned mixed years Austrian Philharmonic 1oz silver, at £14.65 each including p&p has to be some of the cheapest silver I ever bought.

1937 1/2 PR66CAM.
I like the plain edge design. Kind of want to get a raw version now to have a closer look! (Bigger coin would be nice too 😂)

Always a pleasure to deal with Roy. 👍


The mirror finish is so reflective its hard to take pictures. Look at the light reflected onto the case.

 

I couldn't resist getting another little beastie - the Lion is definitely my favourite of the series!  
@BackyardBullion ... this is the kind of addiction you were talking about in todays video 🤫
... my excuse this time? its Christmas!! 

What could it be in the boxes?

Two and a half ‘special’ year Half Sovereigns- Queen’s Golden Jubilee 2002, The 2016 Butler Queen’s 90th Birthday portrait and the ‘half special’ 2018 with privy mark that commemorates the 65th Anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation.


And cheers @StackSellRepeat For the PAMP
