Look what I picked up today, I am in love.
@Marc I am super happy with this set, well worth the wait, thank you very much.

280 is hammer though add on premium whatever that is 20% and you get 330. And it was over a year ago, Indians on the rise. Prob about right for a ms63 that a lcgs equates to. Would it get ms63 at pcgs though? Are lcgs as strict? Would you want to buy that and pay another £50 cost to cross grade to pcgs risking even a possible ms62 total expense over near enough 400 anyway? Or just buy the 400 coin now you know then what you’re getting. Each to their own

Waiting for a 1918i Sovereign is like waiting for a bus- two arriving at the same time.  Thanks to both @Elements & @jultorsk for nudging me in the right direction. The PCGS MS64 is clearly the winner here, bought from Jon Blyth  via eBay auction but the raw one is a very nice looking Uncirculated Sovereign. 






 
 

Thanks to @kneehow2018 for another 1Kg 2017 Libertad and to make it twice as nice, a lucky 1kg find from Atkinsons. 

I’ll just leave these here a wait for the likes 😉

Thanks again to Alun for my 10oz QB box. (The lion is on its way)
i thought I would show all my different ones whilst they were out. 
Great workmanship as always. 

Received not just today, but this week.  Thanks to @arshimo2012, @Sparrowlegs4, @MickD, @Marc, @Sovereign, @StackSellRepeat & @Roy for sending these beautiful coins tto me safety and securely. 









 

Sold an old car, promptly spent the cash on these lot. Sadly all sent to safety deposit box now...

So, turns out the Ansell I posted a few days ago has a very clear error! Means I have to find another now without an error ?
No doubt this is an extreme rarity
 

 

Got my prize yesterday all the way from Australia. Very pleased and happy to have them. 
 
Thank you

20 1 oz rounds.  Last tube to complete a 500 oz monster box of cheap bullion that will be my "first to sell" if and when that time comes.

Albeit that I have allowed myself some nice distractions along the way, I have finally added these two year dates to complete the eight released ‘red box’ editions of Half Sovereigns.  This in my wider quest to fill a 1980 through to present day, date run of Half Proof Sovereigns.  How I admire these little coins.  





And one of the distractions received today

 
 

Received a 2015 Gold Sovereign BU from the kids for Christmas!
