Freshly back from the graders, the jewels in my 2005 collection. 3 x 70 and consecutive grading numbers. Chances of it happening again, slim to say the least. Thanks @Numistacker. 😁😁😁

Having had a brief look at this thread, even the most disciplined entrepreneur with exceptional money management skills & hard assets(business, land, property,shares etc) has a 40% chance of failing to achieve financial independence in 10 years. Read Divorce, I became financially independent at 51 years of age although it took me 25 years to get there not 10.
Divorce shatters that so keep her sweet lol.

As my small neodymium magnet didn't show satisfying results for my gold coins, I ordered a bigger one which I received today.
It also helped me to separate my copper pennies from my copper plated steel pennies without going through the date of each coin.

Today I received an SA George V small head, on the right. For comparison, a normal head on the left. I think the difference is easiest to tell by the ears and the deeper strike of the hair. The reverse is completely different, if you look closely.

Well happy fathers day for all those dads. Wife has been sneaky and between herself and @BackyardBullion
Sorted this cool chunk of silver for me😁
Amazing work as always. Thanks buddy👍

Just received the 1996, 1997 and 1998 proof sovereigns. Bought these from an Australian auction. They look great! 

The strike on the day sovereign for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria. Very happy to have picked this up from the Royal Mint. 

Managed to get an up to date set of the silver proof Queens Beasts series. The bullion are pretty, but these are absolutely stunning! 
Thanks to @Lr103 and @TheCoinConnection

Been a bit excited for the last few weeks, but today I finally received this 30 g golden beauty! Hugest of thanks to @Marc
Long story short, i'm a bit of a fan of The Phoenix (sentimental place from my uni+ days), hence my collecting of most things Phoenix such as the dragon and phoenix coins here! https://thesilverforum.com/topic/11158-today-i-received/?do=findComment&comment=247324
During my many discussions with @Marc i told him about my affinity for Phoenix coins and he showed me one he had. From that moment i wanted it. Just loved the super design with the Phoenix and obviously the gold! I've got to learn more about the history behind it too. I think he was very reluctant to let it go, but i'm chuffed he did!
Here its is, A 30 g (¥100,000) gold proof (PF70) coin commemorating The Enthronement of Emperor Akihito (Heisei). This emperor recently abdicated, the first time an emperor has done so in over 200 years. They are not rare coins, about 100,000 of them in proof, but they are very scarce outside of Japan. Now that the emperor has abdicated they probably hold a bit more historical significance! There's quite a story about the Japanese 20 g gold coin from this era, but maybe @Marc can tell that story in another post!

Just picked this up for next to nothing.from a local antiques shop It's a later 5 shilling. But pretty cool

1871-S: Shieldback MS62 Mint Error
Now as everyone knows I've viewed many 1000s of sovereigns, and not once even with high scrutiny have I seen this type of error before, in fact because I only collect sovereigns I didn't even know it existed 🙄
Interesting little coin and bonus grade!
Shame the holder sits right where the error is, may break the slab! 
 

Big thanks to @Sovereign love it my first libertad very nice coin. 

1985 Half- eBay pickup 

But condition rare – NGC has only 23 in MS64...

This wasn’t received today or even this year, but looking through some bullion I spotted this, think it’s a decent MS grade! Only a few small bag marks. Pity it’s not a very rare year
 


 

1991 half sovereign, third portrait date run now complete. 👍
 

1883-M, not many of these around either and very few in this grade. 

1886-M, 1887-M - The two rarest of all Shieldback sovereigns. 
Finally have the pair 😍👌
