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.

Nice low CoA 

My very first (1/4) Krugerrand  , bought from the forum of course.
It looks much nicer in hand than on the photos.

Today I received an SA George V small head, on the right. For comparison, a normal head on the left. I think the difference is easiest to tell by the ears and the deeper strike of the hair. The reverse is completely different, if you look closely.
