1982 pf70 ultra cameo and a philip (capsule ala krugerrand farce, so this will be getting graded just to keep it safe from harm) Useless rm, what are they thinking....a  no screw in lazily sitting cap....on a proof coin....bonkers.

The beasts so far, just waiting on the Unicorn to arrive next week 
 

 

Might be a good idea to start a new thread on bullion vs graded - the merits and demerits. It'd be a cracking thread I reckon.

That's to @Paul these arrive today From HGM

Some like the I.
 I do, all three of them!

Only 1 sov ?
1890 Full Sov MS60

O, and someone delivered a few young heads 
Have an afternoon of sorting them now!
 

So they arrived, 1989 Quintuple BU, and 1837-1897 3oz gold medal.
The medal is now the best coin in my whole collection without any doubts, no proofs or rare dates compare to this, pictures or words cannot describe how this coin feels in hand! The relief on the old head side is just ridiculous. I think i may have to make a video showing the "turn" on this coin
The 1989 Quintuple is in near-perfect condition, small blemish on rim of reverse is the only flaw i can see so very very happy with it!







 

Arrived a couple of days ago.  Very nice.

I have a bit of a confession and cautionary tale, I asked earlier what a 2005 proof full sovereign would be worth/ value , there was good advice and I had done my own research, thus when I left a speculative bid on a 2005 coin on e bay I did not expect to win it in fact , so much so I did not have the funds to buy it at my max bid  if I won ! yep I won it , so I have had to arrange mr credit card ( 0% interest on purchases) to pay it . caution , don't get obsessed   and leave speculative bids if you don't have the funds  I am sure this is just me and a one off anyway ( I hope )

Another Johnson Matthey + Umicore Brasil bar arrived.
Think thats me officially done with stacking now
 

2016 Isle of Man 1/4 oz Pt Noble with 90th Birthday Privy Mark. I am surprised about the amount of detail on the Privy Mark which only becomes apparent under substantial magnification. The obverse photograph shows nicely the different flow pattern of platinum opppsed to silver and gold just below the Triskelion Legs.
