The 2014 Britannia is definitely one of the better proof Brits.

Haven’t posted in a while. Haven’t been buying much but thought I’d share this. Picked up my 2022 Plain Edged Piedfort Platinum Jubilee Pattern Sovereign from NGC this week. I sent it off for “Plain Edge” to be added to the label to clearly differentiate from the reeded edged version. I always say that we don’t truly appreciate QE2’s reign because we’ve lived through it but she will be revered in years to come and this is an amazing representation of her achievements. With only 70 minted, I’m super chuffed to own one of these as there are so few. This will be locked away together with the 2oz Completer (probably my favourite ever coin design) and 1oz 2014 Britannia 🤤. Massive shout out to @Clockpuncher for this one

Just arrived from @Alex1532 2018 and 2019 Britannia. Oriental Borders on both

Couple more nice examples of American coinage, unfortunately looks like the reverse of the barber quarter has been cleaned, opinions welcome 👍

Trying out ring light someone bought me for Christmas, it’s a slight improvement on just the iPhone camera, what I’ve received which maybe worth grading.

and also a nice round from @StBeesSilver which fits in a thick airtite I had lying around.

Today I received..... my first hospital meal. Since I'll probably be spending the next few weeks here, I'll definitely be tapping into my body's reserves. Happy New Year!!!

Technically bought today, but had it put aside for me last month. Very excited to take photos of it in hand.
2020 proof Aussie piedfort 

right so i have been sparsely out of metals for  going on a year, not buying anything since my last 1/4 oz queens beast , due to covid, and retirement in 2020 and not needing to invest anymore , however this last couple of months i had a pay day from a rental house and was going to stick it all in a isa, and then thought why not buy some gold to pass on. so bought 5 full sovs of theses today bullion grade but i already have some 2005 proofs and its my favourite design of sov with the 2012 2 nd , so heres hoping for some nice coins

Looks great. Just wait until you get the itch for the yellow peril!!
Seriously though, great collection, you already have 20 odd ounces more silver than 99.9% of the population, so we'll done.

Pretty small in comparison to some of yours, but after a few months collecting I’m pretty happy 

Yes, they add up, got my mule graded so slabbed

mi e are in jewelry..will post some when I'm next at the sdb.
