A Perth Mint book for the 150th anniversary of the Australian sovereigns with a 2005 proof "Sydney Mint Sovereign" on it (proof mintage 3'909). 📕 🇦🇺  

After what seems to have been a very long wait...my first ever sovereign has arrived.and I like it..a lot !


 

Today I received...two of the 10oz QB Lions. I literally had to sift through hundreds of sold out websites until I found one that had one in stock, after contacting the company and asking if they could send me pictures of the one they had in stock (checking for milk spots), they found they had another one! Bad inventory management turned into a lucky day for me! Excited to add these to my collection.

1817 Half Sovereign from @Sovereign. My oldest gold coin now and the only pre-Victorian one. Very pleased with the deal

Also from the London coin fair dont mind telling i paid £270 young head shield not bad cond to 

Ding Dong,
 
Possibly the rarest E fractional bar known to date 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 
 
Thank you for giving me the opportunity in owning this gem, You know who you are Thank You! 🙏
 
 

This is a belated "today I received", because after a very public hallmarking failure at the Edinburgh Assay Office due to silver contamination, this BYB gold bar was hesitant to leave the pouch 

However, it eventually mustered the courage to emerge, with the help of these gold eagles which it turns out are 3% silver.  The bar began to realize there is other gold bullion in the world that contains even more silver, but is still widely accepted.

Now well adjusted, and comfortable with its silver content, the bar has joined the stack and exists in harmony with bullion of all shapes, sizes, and metal content.  

A huge thank you to @BackyardBullion for doing on awesome job with this bar, as usual!!

Only the rabbit to go.

Some addition to my 0.900 bullion bag

@Wolves I hope you picked this up at the Coin Fair, too. It shows all known varieties of the Jubilee Head Half Sovereigns:

Late finish at work- but always nice to see the spoils of the last lot of overtime I worked.
Thanks @arshimo2012 for the Dragons and @Lea79 for the 2012 Half.
