So today I received this 4 coin 1997 silver Britannia set. This is the very first year that silver Brittania coins were minted and were minted not in .999 fine silver, nor in .925 sterling silver...... but in .958 Britannia silver. I only found this out after acquiring a 1/10th gold proof 1997 coin and in my usual habit I felt the compulsion to pair it with the 1oz silver equivalent so here I am with a full set lol. These were not a sell out at the mint so numbers are drastically down on what could've been minted. I've put some pictures of final mintages for the curious. There's some natural toning but other than that there's not a milk spot, a scratch or a finger mark to be seen so toying with the idea of @GoldDiggerDave service again. Should i let them keep their natural patina or get them back to shiny again.... decisions decisions 🤔 

This beautiful Queen Victoria diamond sovereign set arrived today and will be for sale 😀

My Mando bounty😁
I borrowed the masterboxes from my son. To play with his Mandalorian Lego.🤣
 

Today I received some very expensive cardboard

2023 Canada - Ice Age – Smilodon Sabre-tooth Cat

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
 

2023 Barbados - Caribbean Green Monkey



2022 Republic of Guinea Ecuatorial - Giraffe

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.
