Received my first 1/2 sovereign for the case and it's a proof many thanks @richatthecroft

And back from more work travel with the latest received. Primary theme here is old gold...went with some Numismatic varieties given the rise in gold prices.
A great pick up from @gold. He is an excellent seller of this, I would go as far to say, almost EF 1818 George III Gold Half Sovereign, at a very reasonable price.

Also, a VF 1793 George III Gold Spade Guinea. This is my first Guinea and I am really enjoying these old milled coins.

Coming back to the twentieth century, a beautiful lucky dip 1979 Gold Sovereign BU. 

And we also received a gorgeous 1997 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Proof. 

Lastly, picked up five of the latest 2019 China 1 oz Silver Long-Whiskered Dragon Dollar Restrike (PU)...one of which is already spoken for by @kewlbeenz! 

Fantastic 2005 1/4 oz Proof Britannia from @Pete

Finally finished my planned date run thanks to @DavePanda for the ever elusive 2010

1/10 Au from Davepanda

Another new masterpiece for my collection
 

Got my first Victorian Half Sovereign Shield Back today, thanks to @Pete

20 euro Silver domed coin from the Austrian Mint! Was sold out in 1 day, luckily my brother lives close to that mint in Austria, picked one up, shipped it to me! 
Beautiful detailed coin, with glow in the dark stars on it. As a big Apollo mission fan, this is a great addition to my collection!!! Want more Apollo coins! One can be so happy with this!

Atkinsons have a proof 2004 1/4 Brit for £299 and a 2005 for £312.
Seems half decent at current prices given they are low mintage years but I guess it depends if they've been man handled.

I'm sing the big buys pushing it Don whether they are real or not, trying to stop it crossing the next line..you see those big once an hour or so sells during off peak trading to drag down the climb...but when it comes back online here the capitalists know there's no reason for it to fall so get in on the lows..you could day rade paper on these two metals and make 20% or more a year with the manipulation, setting buys with a 0.5% drop during off peak on either metal...it's almost daily or nightly going on.

And why gold surged.....
Gold Surges After Trump Nominates Gold Standard Advocate Judy Shelton To Fed Board

i think Trump has had an epiphany - a gold advocate at the Fed, going to the DMZ and sending Bolton to Outer Mongolia. i suggest don't give the Zionist warmonger a return ticket.

The madness has only just started...... 🤡
There has been an number of attempts by the usual culprits to smash price down - in past years we would have seen price tumbling down over the summer (quiet season) - price has come back and back and back. They have destroyed the value of their fiat currencies and now the chickens are coming home to roost. 

Maybe unrelated but reports of VP Pence as below and a Russian submarine incident may be influencing price.

Thanks for sharing the image. Looking at the top of the Queens head (above the crown) the finish is not perfect, same with the others I have seen. Along with various other imperfections.  They are a good looking Sovereign but in my opinion the finish is poor. It will be interesting to see how they grade.  Thanks again. Karl

Sorry about the delay in replying , i left my phone at work , hope this helps .

If you think they are small you should see my Tristan De Cunha half crown, 0.5g gold and has a magnifying glass built into the capsule. 😂

First foray into  1/10 Oz - relative newbie to pm stacking and been mainly sticking to sovereigns & 1Oz silver/gold bullion coins. Thought I'd see just how small these tiddlers are in the flesh!
(May need a better camera lens if I'm getting any more things this small)

My weekend purchase just arrived, a very nice pre-owned 2000 Double Sovereign 

I am hoping Genuine lol. Gold purity checks out.  Markings, weight size all look good. Will need to get them checked out by an expert. Got them for gold weight at just a bit over spot so either way no big loss... 

Looks like we might be back in the game anyway!

Been after one of these for a while, now I have one thanks @Shinus73
