Bullionaire

Wait... You got a half Sovereign in your change?!? Damn, I need to find better shops to frequent...

Finally keep my PF70 collection updated [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

1846 Young Victoria Shield Gold Sovereign won in ebay auction. A very fine Shield added to the collection from an excellent reputable seller.

Just a 1/10oz but it all adds up.

This may well be the nicest coin I own, had to get it to match my BU version.
These will be so sort after imho with a mintage of only 750, had to grab this PF70. This is only available in the 5 coin "long set", which were 3300 RRP and have sold for 5300 on ebay already, only a few for sale atm at 6-8k.
 


 
 
 

2018 1 oz gold Bird of Paradise.  Really interested in future artwork on this series.  2 2018 proof Rwandan Nautical Endeavors, and 5 BU Nautical Endeavors.

The first coin of the Gold Greek Gods series from (guess...) Greece!
It is in the fifth year now and I will probably go for all of them. I really hope they will make it to the whole twelve.
Mintage 1,000 (for the first two - increase to 1,200 from 2016)
Gold 999; 3,88g; 17,5mm
 


Just to clarify that it is Zeus (or Dias) for the few of you that can't read the Greek letters!  ?
 

A few pieces to continue the series i am collecting from Goldsilver.be , the lunar dog is a 1/2 oz .

A few pickups from the last few weeks. Starting with a nice piece of old Swiss gold together with a modern shiny Swan. The 10 francs Vreneli is not one you see so much of, compared to the 20 francs. 
Then some auction pickups. Nice haul of bullion Libertads in a mixed lot: happy to find some of the old and lowest mintages (1999 was second lowest year @95,000) and cool to see the transition from 1999 to 2000 in the Mexican coat of arms. In the same lot were a dozen Kookaburras - all in perfect shape. Most interesting was this 2008 in its original card. That happens to be my favorite Kook design ! 
A really characterful 8 reales from 1763 (with a chopmark in the globe), love these historical pieces. May not grade it though because NGC will probably find something to downgrade: these coins had a colorful life so i dont really care what the grade could be?.
Was after a different year (1860s)  - as i already have one, but picked up another 1870 Australian sovereign (this one probably better than my earlier one). 
Finally - at a price less than the going rate for the single proof, a 1989 double sov proof.  Did not realize how low (2,000) the mintage was - so hopefully these will go up over time.  This one is definitely headed to Numistacker for NGC??

And for a little play on words...also received a 2018 Rwanda 1 oz Silver Nautical HMS Endeavour Proof and accompanying five Rwanda 1 oz Silver Nautical HMS Endeavour BU.

I order a lot this month. Wide variety.
I used to have a Kennedy Half Dollar collection, then I sold those [ok profit] and got into British coins. I am recollecting some of USA coins. 
So next week watch out for me on "Today I Received"
Also I think @Numistacker might like the 1986 Proof Eagle [1st year] I know he likes that design from US Mint.
 
 

Also got these a bit late buying them but got them from byb at the London coin fair today so no post to fuss about lol. They are so cute love them 

Received this wonderful Proof Sovereign  today.  Very pleased. 
 

Was going to get some good ole silver bullion but when push came to shove, just couldn’t do it. Walk in walk out. Old school. Reputable shop as always. Just rebalancing the bullion - collectors ratio....maybe a topic for @Numistacker if he hasn’t already covered it. My silver early days bullion purchases satisfies my silver/gold 10%/90% ratio
1985 biscuits with the ice cream lady on the back....with an official receipt with open space to write the recepient’s name on
 

A good day indeed going into a three day weekend! Received an 1883-M Young Head Victoria St. George Gold Sovereign in MS61 won in an eBay auction...looks like a nice crisp short tail with incomplete BP.
Also two Sovereigns from APMEX “lucky dip” average circulation...
A 1912 George V Sovereign and another 1925 George V Sovereign.

After over a decade of stacking I finally have a strategy! Sovereigns and 10oz Beasts only as I think these will be easier to sell when required.
Anyway, 2 x 10oz dragons arrived today thanks to the @BackyardBullion group order which compliment the rest of my 10oz Beast collection - shown next to a 2oz Bull for perspective.
