I have bought 5x 1oz Gold Coin, The Griffin - Queens Beast for cash from @Gordon
Already purchased 1oz Gold Lion of England via eBay and have purchased the remainder of @Gordon 1 oz Queens Beasts coins no longer able to complete the collection. Just say thank you Gordon for all your help and pleasant sale.

Not going to divulge amount of money paid for them but sitting £20 notes exchanged for all five.

I need 5x of the following
1 oz gold QUEEN'S BEAST 2016 LION OF ENGLAND
1 oz gold QUEEN'S BEAST 2017 RED DRAGON
Anyone willing sell their 1oz Gold Lions/Red Dragons reasonable premium let me know. Thanks.

I've not seen the 2002 in the flesh yet as its an xmas present from the wife. She took the pic so judge away 😁
 
 

So the lunacy continues. I have the 2017 Proof Libertad 1 Onza, Numi has my 1/4 to conserve and grade, and today thank you to @austack and @augur for the 1/10 and 1/20...you can see where this one is going.  
Anybody got a spare 2017 Proof 1/2 Onza? 

1843 Narrow Shield - Exceedingly rare, an EF example of this coin commands approx. £25,000
For those who don't know this coin came about most likely from unspent pattern dies taken from storage. Nobody knows why this was done in 1843, and this pattern reverse is also different from the 1838 narrow shield.
 
 

A couple of each of these!
10 oz Valiant - no idea how one opens those capsules!
1 oz Oriental Border Brits - to pair up with my gold version
1 oz Dragon and Phoenix. Have an affinity for The Phoenix, a bar/club i worked at for some years while up in Manchester - filthy place!
 

The Isle of Man sovereign (with an old English sovereign for comparison). I love how 'gold' the manx one is! 

Decent couple of days pickups mostly Thanks go to @SilverStan and up-to-date with the Queens beasts proofs 😁
 
 

Pickup from the post office today - courtesy of @SilverStan


And not from silver stan (and i wont bother taking a photo) - got 100 more vacuum bags but much closer to slab size to avoid me messing around cutting to size  Now just need 100 slabs with coins to put in them....

It's been just over a year for me. 280 oz of silver and about 20g of gold. A little too much variety in there so I will be trying to convert to more Brits at some point soon.
Big fan of the 10oz QB and the Komsco stuff.
Happy Stacking!

Arrivals the other day. Another 1oz Lion of England. And also feel so lucky receiving a beautiful 1 Onza Libertad. 



The Winged Goddess of Liberty flanked by the two Lions. Safe and sound.
