Little treat from @Numistacker Grading Company (NGC):
my avatar and favourite design so far (except for the 2014 maybe, which I haven't yet acquired)

another piece for my 1927 proof set

a triplet of older sovereigns 

and an India Sovereign with full score

 

@augur  No but I can tell you what I paid for my 1st sovereign lol.I was just looking at my coin & stamp albums from when I was a youngster.
 

Was thinking of getting this graded what do you think folks. Ive had a look and it.s mint cond. 

I was actually at the London Fair to sell some coins more than to buy , so I now have a better sense of which dealers are interested in buying, and what they will not touch. Great fun and lots to learn from chatting to the dealers.  
Could not leave without buying a little something ....but kept it to a couple of silver rounds for the generic stack. Always love an Engelhard.
 

My New Year’s Resolution was to try and remember how my camera works and how to download pictures to my computer.  I have finally got round to doing this but I am still practicing with the camera.  So, these have arrived since the New Year - a 2000 proof double sovereign (from a split set) and a 1994 BU quintuple sovereign.

Bought this 2009 proof half sovereign for the price of a bullion version in my local high street. Appears to have been handled on one edge. It was either this one or a beaten up 1980's half. I've never tried to clean a proof before so what would be the safest way to remove the marks on it?

Mr. Jeremy Fisher in a black box, purchased for 50% of the issue price - let’s hope my snowmen don’t go the same way.
