When I saw the mintage figures for the 2020 Proof Half Sovereign - a tiny 2000! - I knew I had to pick one up, especially after my dad ordered the accompanying proof full sovereign. I was quite lucky with the mintage number here, being #308! Second gold coin in my growing stack, and the second half I own.

I think the 2k mintage will make it a winner in years to come.

I decided to carry out a little experiment with a wide variety of coins, after hearing of a few horror stories regarding ratty and spotty Maples. I purchased a bunch of Eagles and Maples, as well as a mix of Morgan and Peace Dollars for comparison.
One of the things that surprised me the most were the two O mint mark Morgans - a very welcome surprise, indeed!

Here's one of the larger orders I've made for my collection so far, as well as one of the largest I've filmed for my channel - A big bundle of silver! I was quite surprised by the mint years for the cull Eagles APMEX sent me, most notably the '95 - It's got a rather noticeable milk spot (although I don't mind it too much ), but an earlier Eagle is always a nice surprise.

I decided to order some War Nickels from APMEX and have them shipped over to the UK for me - the postage speed was blistering compared to the failures of Yodel, that can be said for sure. No gloves this time, as most of the coins were pretty grimy, as these apparently tend to be judging by other videos around YouTube!

Those are some absolutely gorgeous Eagles! One of my long term goals is to own a full tube or two for my own collection

After Yodel refused to deliver yet again, on my last webchat with them I hinted at getting the Ombudsman involved, and the day after, this parcel finally arrived. I can now safely say that I have a third full tube of 90% silver halves in my collection now  
Guest starring the PF 66 1963 from my last video - I was hoping to have these show up together in my last video, but Yodel's incompetence didn't make that happen, so it's here too, to make up for that.
