Well big daddy ducat is here! Beautiful coin thanks to @ogb777! 
Pictured next to a 1 ducat which is about half sov in size. 40mm coin! If you don’t own one, you should consider it!
now I have to get the 100 Corona which is slightly smaller (37mm) but nearly double the weight! 

As per @Silvergun‘s post above- I too received a Gillick Sovereign, from @ilovesilverireallydo a 1962, arrived In the post today.  I enjoyed the 3 days worth of fun banter until we came to a deal! I think I have his 4 Ducat purchase to thank for clinching it and making this deal possible!
And today went to the York Coin Fair and picked up the last three ‘57, 59 & 1963 I really ‘needed’ to make up the remainder of the Mary Gillick Portrait x10 Sovereign run.   Met some nice people there and saw some beautiful and rare Sovereigns. 
Here’s the 4 from today:

 
And here’s the date run together: 

Both purchased from the Forum . A 1959 full sovereign that's another date run complete thanks to ilovesilverireallydo  and a 1902 matt proof half sovereign .

You know you have a problem when you move from 1gm bars to 1/25 fractional coins. 
You know you have a bigger problem when you move from them to 1/10s. 
Problems increase when you move from there to half sovs. 
It gets worse when you move to full sovs. 
Its getting out of hand when 1/4 ounces enter the picture. (Recent acquisitions displayed) 
And am looking for help now that the first half ounce is on the way. (4 ducat - can’t wait!)
I may be too far gone. 

Arrived today with a gift too- Cheers @Nick1368. I’m sure that Fox will enjoy his treats! 

Sydney Shield And uncirculated Vicky- shame about the scratch on it.

Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo I today received four Peace Dollars and 10 lovely Kennedy Half Dollars. The jingle is mental. I’m probably going to be smiling all week wishing our fiat could at least equal the noise!!!!
 

Thank you to SG86 fab price, 
1/4oz Au 2016 Brittania

Another bit of gold to add to the other bits. Thanks @Guybrush
 
 

 
 

Couple nice silver bits have arrived through the door here. A 2017 2oz Canada 150 Iconic Maple silver proof coin and a 1997 silver 1oz maple. Happy to have finally added the 97 maple to the collection at a price I was happy to pay.

Came yesterday but only just collected from the post office. Some lovley little half sovs. Thanks @sg86

Happy Friday all 😆,
coins back from NGC. Thanks to @Numistacker as always for excellent service! 

Something a bit different to my usual purchases. Thanks to @Cornishfarmer for selling it to me.


 

I know it feels I have been ignoring Silver, but it ain’t true. Just not been posting much of it. Here is a recent stack of bars, such an interesting mix. Top line is a range of 100gm bars.
And a shot of the bars case full enough so dropped it off at the safety box

Dutch Groupie 😉🤤

@richatthecroft Which Fish'n'chip shop in Whitby? Mary Janes, Trenchers....

1839 Proof Shield - PR63 DCAM
This is a lovely coin, and I believe the rarer alignment from the una set.
