this is a fantastic collection. And thank you for the name check. 
 
I have some of these coins & in coins I have gone for the quality aspect definitely. Personally I really like Proof coins. The finish is so much nicer, & like you, I have tried to stick with 70 grades. 
 
i have a side collection of the rarer 50p gold proofs, but the 50p coins even the proofs are noticeably unloved and hardly get discussed. 
 
the £200 Queens Beast Completer, is a fantastic coin. My wife, who knows nothing about coins & probably wishes I had never found coins, really likes the design. She much prefers it over the 2012 Sov which I love. 
 
this collection , put together in only 3 years if really fantastic & I hope it can stay complete for a long time. I am sure you are thinking where next, & we will be keen to see where your curiosity & £ takes you. 
 
well done & thank you for taking the time to share Clive 

Hi @Paul & @Heirlooms
i have a Kew, & most of my low mintage , low 70 grade 50p proofs have been acquired via TSF but over a longer period of time. Some of the members do put some nice coins up. 
Kew & the WWF were my first but the lowest ones are those that only come in Annual Sets , so that is Britten 2013 & Team GB 2020. The Olympics were supposed to be 2020 but when it moved to 2021 in Tokyo, due to Covid, the stand alone proof had its date changed to 2021. In both cases there are only 70 issued, & only a couple at 70. 
 
intersting that @Heirlooms has such a great & focussed collection but no 50p proofs. That is the norm it seems. 
 
again , thanks for sharing your milestone & collection. Reminds me of why I collect

Surely this is merely a commentary over something over which we have no control,  but do have an interest in. 
no need to be intentionally rude to members on TSF

Thank you @9x883. I really collect Proof coins in most cases. I have some older ones where proofs hadnt been er … invented??? Yet ,  but it’s the quality of the coins I like. Although this is a beauty of a coin & great photography.  
 
thanks for the nod

Thank you @CoinCupboard
its not indiscriminate . Regular readers will know I have a Geiger collection but my ‘rules’ allow me to duplicate for good pieces. The 5g is one such & the Geiger capsule sizes w Assay are beautifully presented. I have given one 10g as a wedding present & one 5g as a 60th birthday present so handy as gifts too. 
 
I collected the special year reverse sovs & now trying to collect the ‘good’ years Britannias. I have these years in 1oz but not fractional so a good buy for my collection if I have been successful

Both please
