This lovely 2011 sovereign arrived in the post today just in time for Christmas. 
Merry Christmas to you all.
 

Not seen that coin before, really like that!

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 😂)

2 Aztec rounds courtasy of @h103efa


And a random eBay win was a 1/4 platinum 2017 Britannia. Not the best design by far but actually looks ok when its small haha. Looks perfect so will probably send for grading and then sell it.

When I see that 2017 Britannia, I cant help but think the art kid that designed it should have had an elder standing over his shoulder saying something like, “add geological effects like The Pennines and The Welsh and Scottish Highlands.” Or better, add geological effects and lose the Britannia chick for a real rare “Britannia” and never do it again, or at least for a hundred years or more...with Brexit coming, an absolute belter of a design...still, kids and their grafitti coolness
Platinum version...good buy

A good day. Bought a loose double sovereign 2005 proof at an auction before the summer for £490 landed. Looked like this (cf pic from the auction website). Sent it in for grading after a bit of TLC at home, plus conservation at NGC and just came back 3 months later at PF70 Ultra Cameo...a perfect coin (£490 plus £65 grading fees). Only 10 PF70UC or DC graded in total thus far at NGC and PCGS respectively. Well worth the punt on grading from effectively a bullion coin buy plus a bit. A rarity. Not a massive win in the great scale of life but a nice result either way and a good chunk of bullionesque level British Sovereign gold
A fun day 
 


She is lookiing better the more ale I drink but all the birds always do  Joking aside, this is the first proof coin  I have of this year and to see it in PF 70 is engaging.

Finally got some natural light to take pics of my most recent pickups. 
From the group order via BYB. Really like the new 2019 elephant!
