Freshly back from the graders, the jewels in my 2005 collection. 3 x 70 and consecutive grading numbers. Chances of it happening again, slim to say the least. Thanks @Numistacker. 😁😁😁
 

 

1oz Reverse Proof Buffalo thanks @morezone
2002 back from grading thanks @Numistacker 

Home from work to open this cracking 1874 die number 50 half sovereign from @MikeSol 

Isn't it fun when a bunch of your purchases arrive at the same time 

Big thanks to @BackyardBullion @SilverTrader @arshimo2012 & @Sparrowlegs4

... a 1975 soviet Chervonetz (Червонец) or red gold from @Quicksand005

which allows me to create a little triplet or mini date run. I now must wonder if my 1977 was one of the first struck as it has no discernible lustre or is mimicking the modern bullion sovereign look. 

1989 Half Sovereign and  2 x Gibraltar Cupro nickel 50p's...
 

Came across this little dutch minx, just look at those curves 😉 anyone on the forum own any bars from the same firm ?
 
 

Big thanks to @matrawr for sorting me out with this bad boy! 

Thanks @Wackattak924 & @ilovesilverireallydo 
 

I've received a couple of proof half sovereigns over the past week or so:
1) a 2018 with the "65" mint mark (N.B. the full sovereign version does not have the streamer on the helmet), and
2) a 1999.

You snagged a great deal with this semi key date rich 👍

Got another set of silver proofs in today this time a set of £2 proofs 1997 & 1998

My first Melbourne and Perth Mint Sovereigns, thanks to @whuamai

Today I bought a real Edward VII Sovereign rather than fake silver - see here for how this happened:

Stopped by the LCS to buy a $3 Indian Princess I had him set aside for me, when he showed me a coin that he had just bought an hour before and that doesn't come thru his shop very often.  I was first person to see it and It was love at first sight.  Big, chunky and lots of history.  Oldest coin I own and my new favorite.
1799 8 Escudo


Also picked up an 1880 Young Head sov to get over the purchase amount needed here in California for exemption from sales tax.

Bit of an impulse purchase yesterday, a 2006 Brittania Silhouette Collection. 
Note to self, mustn't keep buying shiny items!! 

LCS pickup today.  1916-S St. Gaudens Double Eagle and a 1/4 oz 2018 QB Unicorn.

🥳Today i bought my first graded coin 🥳
It’s quite a rare Lunar 1 10oz proof with a mintage of 289 and only 2 graded ones at PF69 and no 70’s.
 

Care of @kneehow2018
i have never graded a coin before - this is perhaps one exception.

A proper penny fest ahh

As my small neodymium magnet didn't show satisfying results for my gold coins, I ordered a bigger one which I received today.
It also helped me to separate my copper pennies from my copper plated steel pennies without going through the date of each coin.
