Got today. Thanks @MickD for panda. @morezone for caps. @ChrisSIlver & @BackyardBullion for the prize win. And Bitcoin for the gold

Just received the 1996, 1997 and 1998 proof sovereigns. Bought these from an Australian auction. They look great! 

Don't say things like that, or they'll have you whipped into an Orwellian Thought Re-Education camp, it's
USA & other G7 countries = GOODIES  
Every other country = BADIES  

I'm not selling any of my gold right now (unless it is to fund another gold purchase). I believe the uptrend has only started... and bull markets can last for years. This is not just a spike in the market. Too many factors working together to push gold higher. It has momentum now. So, for me it is now buy in any dips that appear. They won't be very deep...

The problems in the Persian Gulf haven't even started yet,  if it kicks off like it did during the Iran / Iraq war in the mid 80's, then be prepared for gold to rocket as Middle eastern investors try to find a safe haven for their cash.
Very few of you will remember what was happening in the Gulf the mid 80's, Oil Tankers were being hit left right and centre by mines and exocet missiles, from both sides. I was on a BP tanker at the time, going all the way up to Kuwait, (we were all on danger money of one weeks pay per day in the gulf), and can remember a Norwegian tanker being towed out of the Gulf with half of its accommodation block  blasted away by a missile. 
Gold rose upwards of about 15 - 20% during that period. 

10oz Scottsdale - from Mrscottsdale (first of a kind for me, such a cool item)
2017 Sov - from onlyroadtoheaven (fantastic price, could have priced it a lot higher so really good of him)
Thank you to you both,

What looks like will be my last 3 sovereigns from H&B. Managed to get 6 in total. Wish i had cracked on with them sooner! There’s always more deals to be had though I’m sure!

I am really fond of South-East Asia culture and architecture. This year the Tiffany Art Serie has highligted Angkor Wat and the Khmer style. I didn't  know this serie before and I decided to order this release. This is a real shock as I have never seen such a beautiful coin, way way way above everything I have seen. Thanks to the the "Smartminting" technologie, we are able to get this incredible level of details and reliefs.
I have tried my best to highlight the coin and the details, but it was really chalenging as it was not with a macro lens ;  I had to shoot in low light to get what I wanted. With this low light, I need a large aperture (that softened the details, and narrowed  the depth of field), and higher iso to get a decent speed but creates noise...
I have managed to get some macros with my phone and a special macro lens, the pictures are not good, but you can see the incredible level of details, all in a 5 cm diameter. 
I am hooked by this piece of art and I am pleased to share it with you. I will definitely not flip it ! Grab it at the "low price" while you can if you are interested ...it really worths it
Ok, this is not a forum about photography technics so enjoy ☺️
