This has been at Argos for days waiting for me to pick it up. Finally got off work early enough to grab it. 

Just to make it clear, Argos are not stocking Scottsdale bars lol. It was a eBay click and collect.

A little bit of research and light reading for the evenings, with a fine bottle of Bordeaux maybe..

With my Del Boy command of French that shouldn’t be a problem!

 

Received Scottsdale KitKat bar from @MrScottsdale
Something I'm going to try and do more often when posting photos on here is to include something common for size comparison so I included a 2p.
Precious metal photos always seem bigger than they actually are in real life to me. It's not a complaint just something I've noticed. My brain can't work it out ha.

Who doesn't like treasure?.

Today in a charity shop I found some 50% silver coins so I bought a few. Two florins (two shilling coin) and two shillings.
I bought the book from the same shop. It's an anthology of Rudyard Kipling's poems. Three of the coins are from within Kipling's lifetime (1921- the fourth coin is from 1944- Kipling lived from 1865-1936). I wonder if he had coins like them jingling in his pocket when wrote the poem "Cold Iron":
GOLD is for the mistress - silver for the maid" -
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade! " 
" Good! " said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
But Iron - Cold Iron - is master of them all."

An 1858 shield back half sovereign from my local bullion dealer in town. Her neck is scuffed but for the cheap price I'm not one to complain. Could have had a nice clean crisp QE2 but that wouldn't be as interesting.

 I can't remember buying it but my bank statement doesn't lie lol. Checked eBay and I bought it for £5 😀 with £12 shipping 😒
