Haven't bought any gold in quite a while so picked up a couple of nice bullion sovereigns at the LCS today to get my fix.  A 1925 and a 1963.

Few recent pickups...
2000 BU Half Sovereign & 2002 Bullion Half Sovereign thanks to @Pete
And a 1998 1oz Silver Brit thanks to @Lindeman
 

I found a great deal on the complete set of the US State quarters, the silver proof versions, of course. (50 states plus six territories, not pictured) And the coin capsules and tubes to store them in. Sorry for the horribad pics. I could not get good lighting. 

Something a bit different.
 

This months haul 
 
thought id mix it up a bit this month 

Got these back today. It was so hot on that underground lol. Happy with my yale. 

Thanks @SilverStan for these...

but I like them

Cheers @Pete for the 1986 Half.  And a very nice eBay pick up of a Sovereign 3 Coin Set. 

The Majestic 10oz Lion of England. 

1973 IOM half sov. Stunning. Thanks @Lea79
Slowly slowly with my half collection.

What have we seen for over 100 years?
The UK was decimated by WWI. The Flower of the country's youth was slaughtered running at machine guns for no purpose. An avoidable war deliberately orchestrated by the ruling class.
WWII what was that about? Allegedly it was to save Poland which wasn't saved but spent decades under the Soviet totalitarian system. An avoidable war deliberately orchestrated by the ruling class years before it began. The country was utterly bankrupted and in reality has never recovered - as was the intention.
Since WWII the economy has been dismantled. This was accelerated with entry into the EU. Thatcher oversaw the nation's assets being sold off for a song - most of the utilities are now run by foreign companies. She destroyed the coal mines. Engineering went down the tubes. 
Now we have a state television company full of Leftists, habouring paedophiles and every other colour of deviant pumping out 24/7 BS. The infant schools are pushing gender studies, drag queen story telling and every other brain rot for the kids. We have a police not fit for purpose, more interested in Tweets than actual crimes. The country's law has enshrined the Climate Change agenda - which those who have not been sucked in by the propaganda know is a lie. The list is very long. So no surprise that the politicians continue to push policies which run contrary to commonsense and what is good for the people. It is not Socialism, or Conservatism or any other name you care to give it. They are in practice all the same. They are all a mixture of the incompetent and the criminal.

Not exactly PM, but almost... a gift from a colleague:

The Buckingham Collection reduced price on full sovereign - £260 per coin + free shipping

Not when you spend as little as I do. 😂

Today I got a gift from beyond the grave... Still in OMP, Wonder if its worth grading??

Well big daddy ducat is here! Beautiful coin thanks to @ogb777! 
Pictured next to a 1 ducat which is about half sov in size. 40mm coin! If you don’t own one, you should consider it!
now I have to get the 100 Corona which is slightly smaller (37mm) but nearly double the weight! 

As per @Silvergun‘s post above- I too received a Gillick Sovereign, from @ilovesilverireallydo a 1962, arrived In the post today.  I enjoyed the 3 days worth of fun banter until we came to a deal! I think I have his 4 Ducat purchase to thank for clinching it and making this deal possible!
And today went to the York Coin Fair and picked up the last three ‘57, 59 & 1963 I really ‘needed’ to make up the remainder of the Mary Gillick Portrait x10 Sovereign run.   Met some nice people there and saw some beautiful and rare Sovereigns. 
Here’s the 4 from today:

 
And here’s the date run together: 

Both purchased from the Forum . A 1959 full sovereign that's another date run complete thanks to ilovesilverireallydo  and a 1902 matt proof half sovereign .

Thanks to @Alun for a lovely piece of workmanship, my photos don't do it justice.

Been waiting for these silver proofs to land from Germany.  Very happy.  Off they will go for grading ...
Limited mintage of 1000 and like the way this Rwanda Nautical series is keeping it simple...no proliferation into other sizes, privy versions etc. Having said that ....I would maybe like them to do a 1/4 ounce gold proof ....as the 1 ounce gold is a bit exclusive😂😂
