Received over the weekend but;
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!

 
From @Madstacks for my nieces Christmas presents:

 
And some nice aztec rounds from @h103efa along with some nice 50ps. Incredible detail on the rounds:

 

And another arrival just came... This is the answer to the question "Should I get myself a Royal Mint Account?"... the answer is NO!
In fairness, this item is shared between me and a friend. We wanted a sovereign but they were all gone early on so we got this instead (not the proof as I'm not a fan of the 2017 design);

The photos on the website really show some beaten up coins, but this one is actually in pretty good condition considering how they are treated

One of 6 (no indication as to which one of six it is, they don't seem to print a COA with a number a such, just that red certificate in the first pic that gives the details, hand signed at the bottom (not printed).
Something to be tucked away and looked at now and then... or shared custody... i think i get the first and third weekend with alternating Christmas each year.

A 2002 half sovereign
 
 

2017 struck on the day 200 year anniversary plain edge sovereign DPL70 with box, coa and error certificate (says proof instead of bu) rolled in today. Got two 70s now, one at retail and one at £200 under the current going rate judging by ebay completed data. The plain edge is a really nice coin.
 
Added that to 4 snowmen proof coins that arrived, 2 here and 2 in The UK.

A puzzle board and silver elemental cube from @BackyardBullion.  The puzzle board looks great and is extremely functional...the tiles slide very easily and smoothly.  Also the elemental cube is very well done.  I wasn't sure how a poured, hand made version of these cubes would turn out, but he did an awesome job!
 

Received today from BYB. Sadly the pictures don't do them justice, fantastic pieces. Cheers BYB.
