Yes please @Touvex , will sort out payment and postage tomorrow/later today (1st)

Crazy momentum last month and a great start so far to this month 

Dropped £2 there……

Thanks. My initial focus was bullion but I then moved into (the right) proofs as the price is de-tethered from the spot price. My split currently is approximately 33% bullion 67% proofs

Beautiful to behold. Well done and thank you for sharing.

Not sure if you've seen this from @SVcollector https://www.svcollector.com/en/sovereigns/g-britain-1-sovereign-1817-george-iii-ngc-ms-62.html

Started seriously stacking/collecting gold just over 3 years ago and breached the 1KG level late last year. The forum has been a massive part of this journey, @ChrisSilver I thank you for creating the community and the work you put in daily to cultivating a thriving environment, long may it continue. Started with silver, then moved onto bullion gold and proof coins thereafter. There's also a bunch of others to thank for the help, guidance, advice, encouragement and inspiration to make it to this point (I'm sure I've left out a load of other peeps):

With the lovely weather of the bank holiday weekend I felt like sharing my collection so here it is. I took a load of pretty pics before putting everything back in lock up. I think I've accumulated a decent collection. I have a few outliers that I'll most probably sell on the forum at some point which are not part of below so keep a look out. I also may part with the bullion Britannia set (feel free to drop me a message if you're interested).
What next? I feel I have enough from an investment portfolio for now but I may start to pick up a few key older sovs, we'll see. Let me know what you think and thanks to you all again:

I found the file for the 2012 BU Set, sorry for the quality, it's a scan of a scan, the figures for the Half Sovereign are interesting   

I can't. I just have glasses. 

I would jailbreak it, I need a new filling, might need two tho

What a waste of safe deposit real estate 😔

Bit of a joke size

I acquired in 1992 both a .925 silver (2500 max mintage) and an antiqued bronze (5000 max mintage) of the 1990 Royal Mint release of the Pistrucci Waterloo medal.

From the previous video, it seems the RM created the dies a few years back when they struck the silver medals.
So it begs the question - what will be special about the re-release, especially as it won’t even be a medal, but a set of coins?

I mean... how hard it can be to engrave something like this... ?

Following on from Andrews recent for sale post, where he identified the mintage on a bullion 2012 quarter sovereign is as low as 137 it got me thinking about how many we may own amongst the TSF membership. If happy to share, feel free to add to the list.
I’ll start. I own 2

Gee whizz, I must be showing my age, but who remembers way back when gold was just £1,500oz?
I do - October, around five months ago 
What do I win ? 
 

As usual, I let my obsession get the better of me…
Here’s an interesting video about the Waterloo medal that the RM produced several years back.
(Gordon Summers is still Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint.)

And this related video is informative too:
