New arrival this afternoon.... given the cost per oz my journey from stacker to collector is now complete!

Couple of sovs 

 

Gotta be honest.. my eyes are drawn towards the Mexican Peso. Nice grade that.

Not silver but it's relevant.

Walk in......walk out. PR70 Deep Cameo 500th Anniversary 1989 £2 Double Sovereign. Population 5.
1/2, full and double in the collection now. I must say, I think the double shows off the design so much better and has tremendous eye appeal. Of its type, this is as good as it gets. fyi, pcgs uses deep cameo and ngc uses ultra cameo, so in that sense there is a total population of 27 (ngc 22 ultra cameo/pcgs 5 deep cameo)

Today my order from GS.be arrived. I think i took pretty good advantage from the low silver price from last week... 

Another 6 X 1oz Krugerrands from Hatton Garden.
A bit of a milestone stacking moment, just hit the 2kg gold mark

Today's arrivals! 1886/1894 o/1897 o morgans

A couple of old silver pieces - been looking at florins and double florins at auctions for a while, and they seem to have a small dedicated group of collectors. First one of each for me: a nice 1930 George V  florin and an 1887 Victoria double florin (a good few scratches on this one).  Just bullion grade - so I can see them close up.  I know it's only a 4-year series for the double florin... so that should not be impossible!
I guess some on the Forum are experts in these designs ? Next thing will be to find a proof florin for a decent price  - plenty about  from 1927 that may tempt me! 

Used my £60 nectar voucher and £50 from TopCashback to buy a 2009 5 oz Libertad for £8.
Also got 1000 nectar points with the purchase. Happy days.

Just grabbed a few more gold OZs from Hatton Garden :
3 X 1oz Krugerrands
2 X 1oz Eagles
1 X Mexican 50 Peso (my second fav coin ever, just behind the 20 peso)
 

Here's a little classic Sov porn for you

2003 1/10oz Proof Gold Britannia - this is my first proof Brit, I didn't realise on the 2003 only the obverse has mirror fields. At first I thought it was an error but it seems not.
