I'm in for the piedfort and the smooth edged 2017 sovereign....1000 of those apparently.

And -- after quite a nervous wait for the international post to deliver, the PCGS MS65 1893 Morgan dollar finally showed up. I am certainly impressed with the Eagle side - as it's very nice in the fields and on the breast feathers, so worthy of a high grade. The obverse is pretty good as well (better than the rest of my ungraded Morgans) but I have to say there are still a few nicks on it. If it wasn't in a slab saying MS65 I probably have not guessed that grade ...so I am learning! Everything checks out on the PCGS website - so its for real...so I am the proud owner of a pretty rare Morgan (this is the third rarest year for the Philadelphia mint, excluding 1895) in a high grade.  Just don't ask me to send it into NGC though...as I worry they would not grade it a 65! 

Common date, but normally well out of my price range. I had a splurge!

2002 full sov 
received few days ago 

An 1884-CC $20 Double Eagle; I think it's a good candidate for NCS conservation and will be sending it across to them for a 'touch-up', and subsequent grading from NGC.  The red spot at the top of the coin is either a very dark copper spot, or blood. 
I'm not too sure on grade, but I think it might be able to achieve AU53-55.
Picked up from HGM, after a post on the Gold Deals topic.

Was informed my two arrived safely.
 
Thanks BYB.

Some fractional pickups

My second sovereign this week
Gratefully received from @morezone

My sovereigns came in today

Was waiting for the last coin to arrive by mail, as it was won by a paper bid at auction a week ago - an 1826 George IV full sovereign (my first from that decade); it's a bit suspect around the rim (probably ex-jewellery or mount?). Still love the detail on the obverse.  
Then another first (and probably last...) for me: a 1784 full guinea (that's my oldest English coin). And then a bullion grade 1853 half sovereign. Those two were bought live at auction last week. 
Collector habit in full swing I guess....?

Couple of commemorative sovereigns.
1999 Perth Mint Centenary Bi-Metallic.  Sov + 5g silver.  It's different.
2013 Proof Perth Mint Australian Sov.  Got this to go with the 2005 Sydney Mint.
Both came boxed with COA etc but the external box to the 2013 was a bit battered.

Very happy to pick this one up from @arshimo2012

 
 
 

Picked these up from the Brum coin fair today.
Another year/mint mark Morgan Dollar I haven't got yet

 
a 1857 sovereign, not in the best condition but I only paid £260 for it and it has a couple of interesting features.

Ta. Got bored of the regular 2oz silver bullion beasts and happy to overpay for this version. Got em all so far. Purely personal. Nothing to do with money.

Not a huge fan of after-market antiquing but I must say it looks damn good on this coin!  The subject suits the antiquing.  Congrats on a great pick-up.
