I got this Edward VIII 5 penny to add to my sixpence collection. It's the closest I could find for him.
Does anyone here have an Edward VIII collection? I have the 1/2 penny also. I'm not sure if there are gold sovereigns or dollars from the commonwealths. I know there are very rare UK sovereigns.
 

I also got this but as you may be able to see its scratched quite badly under the eye so hoping to get a replacement

Some more shields

A 2018 Britannia w/ oriental border and 1911 sovereign.  My first sovereign!  I've been a fan of the 20 franc coins and their equivalents from other member countries of the Latin Monetary Union, and I've picked up about half a dozen of those.  But I have to admit the extra little heft to the sovereigns, along with the different designs over the years is very appealing.  I think my money is going to be spread around a bit more.  Thanks a lot for the new addiction guys! 
 

They are very attractive coins, great designs. I am looking forward to the next releases. 

A pair of beasts...two more to go!

I just like to add, HMRC can now use RIPA this covers all taxable assets you may hold not just Blockchain and IOM etc.  Worse anyone who has children and gets top-up working tax credits can get investigated from both HMRC the benefits office. Both can use RIPA.
At the same time if you have mined bit coin they are not worth anything until you convert them into fiat and you  may buy works of art or gold on holiday with your bitcoin.

2001 1/4 Gold Eagle Proof picked up for near spot.

2018 1 oz gold QB Unicorn and 5 Privateer: Davy Jones Locker 2 oz silver rounds.  Love the Privateer series.  I only have three of the seven designs, so I definitely need to get the rest if I see them at a good price.

2018 1/4oz Gold Queens Beast Black Bull MS70

The official HMRC line on crypto is that its taxed the same as any other assets.  So capital gains tax rules apply on profits made from holding cryptos, which is nice and simple.  There is a complication that the tax is calculated when you change from one asset to another, so if one sells Bitcoin for Ethereum that counts as a taxable event, not only trading Bitcoin to £.  HMRC doesn't care where the tax event occurred, so if its on an exchange in UK, Europe, US, Singapore, tax is the due if you are resident in the UK. 
Upshot of this is trades through a Isle of Man exchange are going to attract CGT if you are in the UK.  The method to avoid tax is for the assets to be owned through an offshore shell company, then tax is applied under that jurisdiction and you only pay tax to HMRC when bringing profit back onshore. 
(not professional tax advice of course, just view from research on the subject for months.)

How does it get around government taxation ? Cryptos wont get past that in my lifetime that’s for sure.

sounds great in theory, I was replying to a request
one thing though, if the gold price does reset to £5k or whatever that'll mean the end of my sovereign collecting days
