Was out of town for a couple weeks on a motorcycle ride to Montana, and had a couple packages waiting for me at the post office when I got back home.
2019 Pride of Two Nations Proof Set, and 2019 1 oz QB Falcon.

i did post about a week ago or so that it was Boris' intention to devalue Sterling by 20% - he is making good progress. 

Resembles Nautical Ounce series a lot, but though looks great

Perth Mint is releasing a new series soon
Black Flag 2019 Queen's Anne's Revenge
 
The mintage of the silver will be 15,000 and 100 for the gold.
 
I think it is pretty cool looking except that the upper left side is a bit empty imo. That one cloud is forming the upper part of a skull is a nice detail though.
 
I will try to get my hands on some for sure.
 
What you think? Could this be a hot new series? Maybe inspired by the "Rwanda boys" and their ship series?

They got me with this one for sure!

There is your definitive answer George!
@AppleZippoandMetronome makes a good point here:
Tallinn is both beautiful and fascinating. Don't just pick up and leave! 😊

@Nick1368 could you go back to bed please 😂 

I wonder if we are about to hit £1100 :)

 

The premiums on platinum suck. There really isn't much selection relative to gold and silver. I wish there was more fractional platinum.

Probably best to buy from Europe I’d have thought? For example European mint 1oz coin  £760ish, vs 1oz sharps pixley bar £808

Today saw the arrival of my final cheap 2019 Sovereign from H&B, ordered via a good friend of mine....
Sad to see the offer come to an end - but it was great fun whilst it lasted

the coin was wrapped in kitchen roll, and wedged into a round plastic container with another bit of kitchen roll. this was put into the blue box which used to hold paperclips, this box was sellotaped into the big box and surrounded with more kitchen roll, the box was then covered in what must have been a full roll of sellotape, and then that box was put in a big plastic postage bag. 

What’s in the blue box?..looks like an open packet of prophylactics!!

For those who use Topcashback to access ebay, the current rebate is now 2.1% for all purchases over £100 for the next few days. Might help trim your averages a bit.

Bought my first ever proof silver coin this afternoon off EBay......
One of the D-Day proof silver £2 coins for £59 + £4 P&P - instead of £67.50 + £5 P&P from the Royal Mint, plus a bit of TopCashback and Nectar action - "am well 'appy", as the youth of today say 

I saw this on The European Mint's website a few weeks back and decided to add one to my Group Order list.
It did come at a bit of a premium, but as with most things from the Perth Mint, the quality is of the highest order
I seem to be really getting into Aussie coins of late
