Something for hardcore collectors, got lucky to have COA and outer sleeve.

Thought I'd join the club, couldn't resist any longer, especially with the griffin about to be released.

Today my wife bought me a 1911 half sovereign whilst in town today. Quite pleased with it

More recent pickups: 2oz 1oz 1/2oz proof roosters

 

Half and small set sovereign 2017.
 

Impact coin. Just received a PowerCoin Guy Fawkes Mask. 1oz lump of metal with attitude. Cook Island with the Queen on the opposite adding to the "vibe". High quality finish and pressing with a ceramic and black finish and smooth well defined immaculate lines.Think Punk Romance. It's a Tank Girl vibe....
It's old meets new. It's the one that grabs your attention but couldn't care less if it didn't. It takes tradition, throws it up in the air to see where it lands and if it bounces.
It is a seismic change in the way coins are produced. Some may dismiss the coin itself as a gimmick, which it may well be. But the technology behind it is here to stay.
For those too young, here is Tank Girl.
 

Some new silver - a Scottsdale Reserve 10 oz bar ( just love the design of these!). Bought on the dip.  
And some old historical silver - a US trade dollar from 1878 and the San Francisco mint. I have a few Morgans but this is my first Trade Dollar.  Intriguing history as 1878 was really the last year these were made for circulation and the first year that the SF mint started making Morgan dollars. So it's a transition coin.  Picked it up for under £40'- which I think is pretty decent, although the condition is well used. One of these coins that could tell a few bar room stories from the 1880s  I reckon?

A few bits I received this weekend.

My first horse !

Some older world gold.

Thanks @sovereignsteve for the 1/2 rooster to complete my set.
Also a couple more oldies.
My first silver dollar and it's quite a nice looking coin.

Today I bought 2x half sovereigns and a 5g gold bar from HGM.

2014 year of the horse 1oz silver coin. A good price i thought @ £17 inc del

Just managed to get 3 coin small set 2017 sovereign for a bargain price of £650.25 thanks to @arshimo2012

My 3-coin 2017 sov set came today from @arshimo2012 many thanks. I don't think the coins are totally perfect, they seem to put more effort into the box, which is very nice . The box manufacturer/team should send some of their guys to package the coins.
Also a few 1/10 2017 elephants, 1995 proof IOM angel 1/20
Then a half sov 1843 weight, I had few glasses of wine and not sure really why i bought it, it's just interesting

The Nanjing silver panda arrived today back from grading. Very happy with the result.
A big thank you to @Numistacker for doing this ?
