Ebay purchase just arrived today, I think it's safe to say I've caught the sovereign bug!

Well last week, more collectors coins than stackers but nice to add to pot

Nice 10 Coronas! Should be ~95£  

So, turns out the Ansell I posted a few days ago has a very clear error! Means I have to find another now without an error ?
No doubt this is an extreme rarity
 

 

An 1897 bullion half sovereign from Atkinsons .

This week received this very nice 2002 sovereign purchased from a fellow SilverForum member. Have already taken it out of the capsule and put it into a flip ready to be sent off to be graded. 

Some bullion bulls ?
 
 

Been selling off my modern premium silver coins and a few half sovs to build this stash out. Took some pics before I dropped it off to a safety deposit box. 
I just felt that these semi numi “junk” coins  will hold value well so go into my retirement stash. The case is an old poker chip set case which makes a pretty good way to store them.
 

Also received an extra rarity to my Sovereign collection...an 1859 Young Victoria Shield Gold Sovereign “Ansell” variety!! This Marsh listed R4 is even better in hand and great to compare with my Normal 1859! 


I would like to extend a huge thank you and appreciation to @sovereignsteve for his sound advice and expert counsel when I reached out to him for advice on bidding for this rarity!
Lastly, please watch @Numistacker‘s video on the history of the Ansell Sovereign, which provided excellent insight for adding this rarity to my collection!
 

I bought a $5 Indian half Eagle on eBay from Apmex when they were having a sale plus 10% eBay bucks. I was not happy with the condition and didn't believe it was XF as advertised. I emailed them and sent it back. I think I got a great one in return. I think it is in gradable condition. Any thoughts?
 

A teeny 1929 quarter eagle, a tad smaller then a half sovereign. Bought from ebay, took a chance on some dodgy photo's and pleasantly surprised at the condition for a near 90 year old coin.

Received yesterday.....
1/4oz proof queens beast lion in pristine condition and excellent packaging,not in a royal mint Jiffy bag....
a big thanks to skelator88  

Back from grading 
thank you @Numistacker ?

Massive thanks to Arshi for this stunning coin
 

I remember years ago having some olympic condoms, and saying to the girlfriend shall we try the gold one, she said no, you can use the silver or bronze and come second for once 

Thinking of hosting my own little Olympics after recieving my copper from byb today... (no gold panda sadly)

A couple of 70’s back from @Numistacker. Yay.

Got my hands on a 2017 proof Britannia, my favourite Britannia design  

2016 1/4 oz gold QB Lion and 2 9Fine 5 oz silver bars.

I like the bar, they are fairly new, who makes them ?

A silver proof and a nice 1/10oz

A rather nice 1906 sovereign and the 3D sized 1/10 Pt Brits from the group order from gold old BackyardBullion 

My 5oz Kiwis (mintage 500, same as the current 1/4 oz gold)

 
and my Baccarat coins

Thanks @Skelator88  Only 150 notes over RM price and it’s a 70 so a very fair price. Would love hear peoples thought on this one. Double Thickness, should it be double the price in the secondary market? Who knows....... ??‍♂️? I’m keeping it anyway 

This rocked up also and I’ve sacked off the Royal Mint as Coin Connection are much better / and cheaper!! They just get it, top marks
