Arrived today and a friend call me for retire a few gold 😍😍😍

Received my 2022 Sovereign from Chards today.  Coin was packed with a piece of bubble wrap inside the presentation box to keep the capsule from opening in transit which I really appreciated.  Specks in the picture are just on capsule, the coin itself looks great.  This was my first purchase from Chards.  It definitely will not be my last.  I'm very pleased. Thank you @LawrenceChardfor a quality purchasing experience.

After almost two weeks wait (had to self isolate due to Covid) I picked these babies up today.
All inspected and in great condition.  No capsules had come undone and to the naked eye they look perfect.  
 
 

Royal Mint 2017 Silver Proof Collection
Mintage - 609.
I'm not entirely sure how I ended up collecting these sets, but at least they aren't as mindnumbingly boring as silver Maples or Phillies et al.
I prefer the wooden "Premium Proof" boxes for storage as opposed to the original shiny black boxes.  As yet I haven't landed the 2017 for this collection. Let me know if you know of one for sale.
My second set of such photos - down to about 10 minutes "arrangement" time now @TheShinyStuff. Donning and removing the gloves is a bit of a pisser.
 

A lovely 1953 New Zealand Commemorative Proof Set.  Inaugural Portrait, fantastic Reverse designs and nicely presented.  
Sets don’t come much more satisfying to own than this.  My favourites are the Crown, Florin and Penny 😃 

Today I received... my Sigma PMV! After a couple months pondering and saving-up, plus good week and a bit for shipping, it has finally arrived! I may be offering coin checking services down the line (with videos, live testing if close to my location, etc.) but not entirely sure yet. A project in the works
Honestly it's a releif the coins I've tested right now are real. I'll go through my stack starting with stuff bought off the forum (not that I don't trust you all, I love y'all!). I'm extremly happy at the moment as this is a purchase I've been wanting to do for a while already 😁😊

2022 Proof Sovereign

An absolutely amazing item in today. My friend over at Outlaw Coin Creations in USA took this commission on for me and boy dod he deliver 
Wanted a wearable Libertad so he made this from a 1oz 999 Libertad

Silver Matte Proof Gothic Crowns. I tried my luck, cause i never had almost white coins. They look amazing in hand. 

My actual sovereign 😍😍😍😍😍

Another metal

Got both my 2022 Proof Sovereigns today. Very well packaged and no issues with the capsule or coins so it seems. Very happy.
 

I was very excited to see the postman today

Very interesting (and again VERY heavy!)  package arrived today...

Tied closed for over 50 years...

Even before decimalisation...

Only a fiver worth...

Of uncirculated copper pennies.

from 1967

Well for me this is the coin off the year. I dont really get excited by bullion minted coins anymore but this one has me all hot and flustered 😂 Absolute BELTER of a coin from Minting to presentation 

Unedited version 🙂 
 

Got me a half sovereign today!

Thank god I didn't dump my (small) Krugerrand stack yesterday; I was in danger of making a profit, which goes completely against my ethos of 'buy high, sell low'. 
Usual places are now down around £1375 to £1385 a coin 😕
