3 Coin 2017 Sovereign set from the Royal Mint.  Came yesterday but I missed the delivery by 10 mins so had to collect this morning.  I've included a pic of the 3 coins with a normal sovereign and also overlaid the normal sovereign over the 2017 double.  I think the double shows off the design best due to the garter reducing the size of G&D.

Mix of stuff.

2012 proof brit .

120th Anniversary of Shenyang mint.
500g antique silver panda bar.

Simple. 2005 bullion half sov. 

Two sovereigns from Highland Tiger. One of which was a very nice 1873 Melbourne sovereign.
No more sending coins in envelopes though!
 

a 1991 large date panda and a 1993 small date Both NGC MS69
Getting closer to my goal to have all variation from 1989 up to date
2007 - 2016 I have MS70, and 1989 - 2006 I´m going for MS69

Arrived from Atkinsons today 
1911 Melbourne full sovereign
1911 Sydney full sovereign

To go along with my Canadian, just the London and Perth for a full 1911 mint set.
Haven't used Atkinsons for a while, was excepting a jiffy bag with coins surrounded with bubble wrap instead was pleasantly surprised to find a good strong cardboard envelope, the coins in capsules and in plastic coin flips with tissue paper wrapping and branded sticker sealing it all together. nice touch       

A few bits from @SilverStan 1974 USS constitution round, + the silverbug island rounds. Also the new 1oz silverbugs in space bar prospector bar and a silver shield round.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Received my 2011 high relief proof roo. An e-bay find,got it for only £38:30 delivered,was only bidder. Add it to my 2010 + 2012.  

1983 1oz Singapore Dragon and 1/10th Carp.  Came in flips which may be from the Mint but I've rehoused them in Air-Tities.  Couple of red spots on the Dragon but the Carp is more or less mint.

Nice little Indian 2014 sov,

Yep  Call me old fashioned.
I have lovely memories of popping one in the mixing bowl with my sister as little kids and wondering who would get it after the pudding had been soaked in brandy, set light to, and then served with vanilla ice cream.....yummy.

My 2017 Proof Sov arrived today - I had a half on order but got the full instead - I read previous posts about RM poor packaging and my experience was no different - shipped in its original packaging(no added bubble wrap to box) and put in a cheap Jiffy bag.  I paid £12.50 for postage - All that said I really like the coin and happy I choose a full due to the detail on the rim of the new design.
It makes little difference  but I like the COA number.

2009 RAM Kangaroo

Finaly they arrived
Got COA 975 and 976 out of 980 made

Some of my collection for viewers pleasure.

Lets get festive!  
I wen't a little mad with my angel obsession and picked up a large run of the 1/20 proofs with xmas privys. Incredibly hard to get at only 1,000 minted each. Can't wait to get a complete run of these but i fear it'll be many years before i get there
 




 
Extra little treat of 12 privys together

My first shield back.. wish it was in better nick. Also picked up a 1987 Britannia gold proof two coin set..

Panda 1/10 - 2015
Panda 3g - 2016
Elephant 1/10 - 2016
Canadian growling Cougar 2015 (to complete my 3 set)
Bunch of sovs, 1910, 1913, 2015x2, 2016
Isle of Man Angel 1/20 - 2016 (last in series)
have received a bunch of other stuff but not taken any pics!
 
 

5 half shields, 3 jubilee and 2 young head. Need to buy marshes half sov book as i'm not sure what dates are rare etc, the young ones are 63 and 75 (die 17) if anyone fancies sharing!
Varying conditions, didn't pay that much for them so happy overall, such nice little coins i need some more now but they seem to go for a hell of a premium
 




 

Got my graded coins back from ngc.. Thought I would get a few 70s with the west point liberty medals but no luck
Standing Liberty coins graded well. Heading to a coin show tomorrow, let's see what I can pick up

Antique fair pick ups. Nice design on the trade dollar.
