I hope this is possible, but @MickD won a spontaneous cryptic quiz I set earlier today and won a £20 longest reigning monarch coin, which he has declined but suggested it be added to the Christmas prize draw?  So if it doesn't mess up the numbers etc can this be an extra prize?

As i mentioned earlier today in another thread (@NRSovereign, @MickB), its often customary (indian heritage) to receive gold (jewellry and coins) during weddings or birth of children.
Some of the gold received is often in the style of sovereign coins but are not actually real sovereigns, just gold copies. The reason is people just buy for the gold weight, they dont know or care that it is in the form of a sovereign look.
Here is a selection of such coins we have received as gifts. They have been verified as real gold by a jeweller friend of ours. Also ive put a photo of a Full Arabic guinea we received for your interest.
Coins are shown in order of weight
Top ~1g (1/8 sov)
2nd row ~2g (1/4 sov)
3rd row ~4g (1/2 sov)
Bottom ~8g (full sov)

Received two packages today one from @BackyardBullion acting intermediary for the sale of 1 oz Gold Queens Beast Lion coin between @Bizzle and myself. BYB packaging as always excellent.

The last 1 oz Gold Lion I was after helped me to complete stack of 10.
The European Mint delivered the last shipment of 1 oz Gold Queens Beast Coins the set Bull. European Mint communication and packaging has been excellent.
My stack gold now complete until next QB 1 oz Gold release. Collected 10x of each 1 oz QB Gold coin.


Going into private non-banking related safety deposit box but it will be a real shame when I don't have them nearby to hand any longer.

Thank you very much @Numistacker for the opportunity of winning the Special 10,000 subscribers N- NHS Coin. 
And well done on the 10,000 Subscribers.

Cor! Sounds like a good bloke, this Roy! 😊
In the spirit of the forum, I tried to keep it an honest advert with large clear pics. The prices may have seemed expensive but I haven't always bought at the right time and I refuse to lose money with precious metals. It was fun and I met a few nice chaps on the way. Thanks guys 😁

It's been a busy few months with a few nice arrivals......
