I was gonna contact @BackyardBullion about this piece when he got back in business... 
I got to play with it at the London Coin Fair and it is so nice to hold. Stunning!
Well done, @SurreyStacker - lovely addition to any collection.

Monster Rolo arrived from @BackyardBullion! Thank you, awesome piece of silver for the collection.
20.37oz of shear joy

Was after one of these bad boys for a while. 2020 double sov BU first year of issue 
thank you @1stsovereign

A surprising little mail call yesterday, I expected nothing but a coin shaped piece of junk simply because of the detail the coin has, turns out to be a genuine 1874 Carson City trade dollar, unfortunately it brooched but look at that detail!

My biggest silver purchase in a long time.🙂
5 Italian 500 Lire coins 20 Swiss 5 Franc coins 1  1943 Dutch East Indies 2.5 Gulden minted in Denver USA and a 1915 MS62 2 Kronen from Liechtenstein.

Thank you Mr. Postman and thank you @adamthetaller - a fine addition to the stack

Does anyone know where you can get Britannia 10oz capsules from and also QB 10oz replacement capsules from?

Thanks @ilovesilverireallydo
 for this unusual 9ct charm

It's been an absolute age since I've posted in this thread.  I'm no longer adding weight to my collection and have recently sold off bits which I'm no longer continuing with in order to swap out for the remaining QB 1 and 1/4 oz Golds.  2 more 1oz and 3 1/4 oz to go to complete the collection which I should  finish at the end of the year when they release The White Greyhound of Richmond. 
Ordered the Yale and White Lion from Chards on the 17th March.  I completely forgot about the Yale so I was scrambling to find one quick since the White Horse was being released which meant minting for the Yale would be stopping and premiums going up.  Atkinsons had already increased the Yale premium and some places were already out of stock.  Managed to get in at just over £1200 spot just as demand and spot was rising and just before the lockdown.  Ended up with a bit of a wait and were delivered today.  Unfortunately the Queen on the Yale has been attacked by her Corgis.

The reverse proof Maple Leafs were one of my first loves when I started buying coins in 2010.
This is the 3rd time I’ve started a collection - I’ll keep them this time, maybe.
Start at the beginning with the 1998 tiger.

Thank you @InvestInCoins888 for this wonderful Isle of Man Proof Sovereign set and also, for helping me out by not only the offer of a lower price, but also holding it until I got funds together to pay for it. 
The little free gift sent with the set was a nice surprise 😄
Also, thanks to the Forum members who bought and are currently looking after the items I sacrificed from my collection to secure the set.  Hope you all enjoy your purchases, for now, I’ll be pestering you all in due course, for them back 😉
I very much appreciated the advice taken from a Forum member I have much respect of prior to making the purchase: ‘Rich,  the Reverse is a little bit Marmite’. But who could deny that the Machin Obverse is an enduring classic.
What I like about this particular set is its completeness- Sovereigns untouched and sealed in the presentation case, COA, original invoice for £388.50! and even the little waxed envelope the Jeweler supplied it in!
Anyway, enough waffle, here’s the lovely 46 year old set.











 

Visited my safety deposit box today and put the recently acquired Gold with the rest of the Gold stack. Don't visit Safety Deposit box that often maybe once a year and took opportunity to take some photos. Gold bullion occupying 25% space in the box the remainder family jewellery. Still enough room in the box to add another 40 oz Gold in Royal Mint tubes to finish off Queens Beasts series.
Gold bullion square red box total 74.25 oz.

In the process of evaluating my Silver stack and took some photos to share

@daca some of the antique pieces photos (10 oz Monarch Precious Metals Dragon vs Viking Ultra High Relief Silver Round)

Strike on the day 2012 Sovereign, not often seen
 

Received today from @InvestInCoins888, 2013 Double Sovereign and a free gift (yay!). 

I got these 3 coins today. It took almost two weeks to get here from France.
 
 

Today I received this beautiful set of 1973 Isle of Man sovereign, thank you @InvestInCoins888 ,  I always wanted to have a Isle of Man sovereign, now I have four of them all in different sizes 😍
My favourite is the Quintuple sovereign 💕💕

Two Royal Mint dinosaurs! 

This truly lovely 1885 Proof of Record half penny. Very rare, as not a proof year. The red / brown lustre is stunning in hand but I just cant capture in the photo’s - sorry. Also awaiting a halfpenny MS64 RB to put along as makes a nice presentation (i think!)

A 1925 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle bought as bullion at spot from @ST1986 . This stunning coin had been on my wishlist since I bought the 10oz gilded silver replica 1933 coaster pictured beneath the real thing.

By far one of my best delivery days to date. Massive thanks to @richatthecroft for my mexican gold and silver @kiskelo for the korean beauty's and the koala and a special thanks to @vicamy for offering me his buggs bunny 1/4oz with a really low mintage 👍
