6 bullion sovs from Baird, 3x 1912 and 3x 1966. 
Tube is slowly filling up 
 

1885 half sovereign, my first young head.
She's a bit marked but not worn too flat... which is nice.
 

So glad that I am not hung up on these special issues, I can see Victorian halves creaming my wallet though!

2 X glass domes arrived to display my doubloons.
Really happy with them and a nice way to display some coins.

, Maybe i'll find a source now for 1000s of halfs as i can't have you having more than me Steve!

Indeed yes and I can tell then all apart on sight.
The truth is more like I pick them up for as close to bullion as and when I see them and throw them into storage with the rest
I must get around to cataloguing them sometime, might be a rare one in there.

Only if you have names for them all

1/4oz gold proof bull 
top quality ?

Yes, thanks Roy, and a full refund from Atkinsons. To celebrate I upgraded to Premium Member, see you in the bar, beers on me.

Another great haul courtesy of @arshimo2012. Thirty 100g Umicore bars (hand warmers) and four 1kg Metalor bars (door stops) ?. 7kg in total give or take, thanks again Ash.

Only when your trying to fit it somewhere...... like your safe ?

Me too!
I could never use it, as a rule 

You'd think? But I've always found 13 inches to be very impractical!

See, a bit o' spit and polish and all is revealed 
Looks good and its present content is infinitely better for you than its original product ?

It'd be great to put some Victorian sovereigns in a period box like yours @Lea79
I'd have to gather all the paraphernalia though, the scales and leather/silver sov holders too!
 
What is the finish on that box @richatthecroft? Lacquer?  Crossed post
 

Sourced another 1887 half sovereign, much happier with this one, looks genuine!
 

That's well tidy!

I’ve been looking for a nice old wooden box to keep my stack in for a while.  Came across this yesterday which is just fantastic.  I can’t wait to get it!! It’s a Victorian jewellery box dating for 1860-1890 and has been professionally restored. 

Right you three are now on the list!!
Chris will be sending your dismissal notices in the post.

Last week I received:

Boxed, capsule and COA. HGM £245.75 

Now you have a use for that smart box you bought t'other day @richatthecroft

Yes, can't wait until I fill it up, maybe there will be a truce in the friendly  rivalry whilst I concentrate on my date run....
Roy, if you see me on here posting again before 10pm this evening, remind me that I'm at work and that I really should get on with it.

Yup!
I have them already (boxed/COA) but I need some loose ones to fill in the gaps.
No rush. Everything comes to he who waits
