Like buses these gold coins... Finally pushed the button (on @TheCoinCabinet) and got myself a Gold Newton 50p in 70. Been pondering for some time and ended up siphoning some funds from my house extension building project to make it happen. Also seeing the updated RM sales figures for the coin being 371 in total (single + in sets) expedited my decison making. Now part of my science 50p series to go with Hawking's and Franklin.

Got myself the new 2021 Gold 1 oz Britannia!

Frosties! They're grrrreat!

A couple of weeks ago I bid on a sovereign on auction on ebay from them. Didnt win. That same sovereign was then relisted a few days later, which i was watching. a couple of days into the relisted auction, it was ended. Not for me, whether shill bidding or abruptly ending auctions or something else.

Bumpy Groove edged jewellry boxes with pink sponge/cotton wool inside of them!

Gold is the gift, not what it looks like. As i explained earlier, most givers dont know about sovs etc, they just look to gift a weight of gold. They buy from jewellers, they wouldnt even know about bullion dealers etc.

Post revisited! We have a upcoming family wedding. A small affair due to current goverment guidelines, but it meant some more of these "comedy" jewellery gold sovereigns (fake sovs, real gold) came out of the family woodwork. Soon to be re-gifted to other family members. There's probably a few real full and half sovs in there too? I tried to show the thinness between the 1g, 2g and half sovereign sizes!
