2 x 2016 Full sovereigns to go with my 1oz Queens beast I purchased on Monday. Go gold!!
A bit peeved that Atkinsons was showing the beasts as in stock but when I contacted them today to find out where it was they said supply issues meant they wouldn't receive them until the end of this week or early next week. Could have saved myself some money with the way the price has dropped since. Even the sovereigns I purchased today haven't been dispatched and it was meant to be next day delivery. Perhaps now I am in my late 30s I am just getting a bit moany!!
 

5 Full Sovereigns from HGM,

Another brass medal set but this one is from the Mint of Poland.  The 2 medals interlock and are housed in a wooden frame.

When you buy from Numistacker, you don't just get a coin slabbed, you get knowledge and video provenance...... He gave me a good deal on it and we both came away happy....
Go to the 7 minute mark and watch from there "more than a couple of flecks under a x5 magnification.........."
 
Oh and it is a highly rare coin...population of 2 at NGC whereas the 70 has a population of over 3,000....lol ! Dirty is the new cool....

A couple of 90mm brass medals.  The one of most interest to me is the 2016 Sinosauropteryx (Chinese Bird Lizard).  It does form part of a 4 medal Prehistoric series from the Shanghai Mint beginning with the Mammoth in 2015.  Originally I didn't pick up the mammoth because it was a big of a fail.  The mammoth is a fairly decent design but the back was very plain and low relief.  Since I picked up the Sinosauropteryx I decided to go back and pick up the mammoth to keep up to date in case the next 2 end up being cracking designs.

My 1/25oz gold 2016 Philharmonic coin arrived today.
Placed it onto a 2oz beast for comparison as they are close to the same price each.
Sorry the image is blurred, best I could manage hand held.

1 x 2008 silver Britannia and 2 x 2010 silver Britannias to add to my date run  (just need the 2009 and 1998 to complete the set)  and a 1904 sovereign. Wait for a bus and three (?) come along at the same time.
 

Just picked up two Queens' beasts & two Isle of Man angels on the way home from work from @Abbotssilvercoins
Also whilst I was there I put money towards some of his upcoming silver rounds that he is getting made. A run of 750 only based on mythical creatures. Saw the artwork & liked it immediately. The first in a four coin series.
