If you have ever opened a box and a load of shredded paper has landed on your carpet, then you too have probably bought from the "shredder"  @Troy77 Sells some lovely stuff tho.

I have a few of these, that looks like a lovely example of one.

(NGC fixed the rotation of these before arriving to me, these are early photos on the ngc database)

Nice 2018 tree of life amongst others

 

I do like these, i have one on my desk as a "play thing" while im working.

I have some of the 5oz copper cubes. they are pretty cool - have one on my desk at home as my "thinking" object to play with while im working.

Another sovereign, and 20 Danish kroner.

IOM sovs are nice, something a little different.

I received my 2020 Britannia reverse frosting set today... looking nice in real life:

 

 

Is the one on the left the reverse proof? that one looks amazing. I wasnt drawn to this design myself but seeing that, I really like it.

I guess ten years younger gives some more quality choices! 🧐

On the other hand I don't think there were any circulating coins then, so options are limited to proofs only. Good luck with your collection and it would be nice to present it all together at a point.

Once i get these back, ill visit the bank and take some photos of the entire collection.

Incredible coins, I can only dream 70s for my 1967 collection. 🤓

Are you going only for gold 1977 ones?

Thanks - getting a 70 for a 40+ year old coin is pretty amazing, im always chuffed to bits if i get a 70! Focus mainly on the gold ones, but have things like the silver crowns, proof coin sets from other countries too. Some of those I grade, some I don't.

This one is stunning! I love the shape and its pointy edges 😍. Which mint/country is it from?   

Thanks!  

Its from the Netherlands. It was produced by Franklin Mint I believe - I do have the original packaging stashed away somewhere. I agree, its a cracking coin.

Is it wrong of me that rather than the coin i was immediately drawn to 4 letters!

OMG I thought it was just me!

My first Libertads for the stack (thanks @AgD).

And a few gold coins for the collection? I guess I'm a collector, now  (thanks @richatthecroft).

2002 PF70 set... lovely!

They are always based by the toilets upstairs, huge table full of modern proofs, impressive display. Guy looks like a cross between a used car salesman from the 80's and beetlejuice... honestly best description I can give.

I don't know their name, they have the same pitch each time. I refuse to deal with him after hearing how he spoke to some poor old chap wanting to get a price on a proof sovereign he bought. He literally destroyed this old guy saying he had bought junk and it's worth scrap at best. There is a way to deal with customers and that isnt it. 

Flying visit from me but nice to see some familiar faces and meet new ones. Left without spending so that's a win for me!

Make sure you all wear your face masks 

You going mate?

Other half is having her hair done and then meeting a friend for lunch so assuming I wake early enough it's highly likely I'll be there as I'll have a get out of jail free card being able to get there and back none the wiser

I will try to attend as I do like a wander around, I will have to leave wallet at home though or risk buying shiny shiny stuff.

Mintages not that low... pass.

Decided to photograph my whole 1967 collection (well, about 90% of it actually...) with the start of the new year. Let's see what additions will come by the end of 2020. 🧐

 

Love it, im doing the same but for 1977... totally my kinda collection, well done!

A bit different from their normal stuff, may even be worth grading!😆

 

Isnt the 2016 one of the harder ones to get outside of India? If so, well done!
