Can You Say DUTCH 10 TIMES ? They Need Rehoming  

Today arrived my new 1kg Silver Millenium Dragon 2000, Lunar I coin...

The 2 oz Silverdragon was waiting for his big brother maybe for 19 years

 

This holder came in the post today and a massive thanks to @ZatStackz for his help in getting it so looks great now the gold has a home.
And a nice addition to the Aztec family courtesy of @SilverStan the 2oz 

Today I received a 1 gram Umicore gold bar and a 2oz silver Lion of Mortimer. Spent too much last month so had to cut back a bit.

I went back to Leicester to visit the family home this weekend and went to the only coin shop I could find. Picked up some US half dollars for the stack. My uncle had finished a book on our family tree, he traced us in England back to 1727.  This has now made me want to collect British coins on key dates for the family members.  I bought my first crown, one of many to come.

Postie delivered my 6th order from GS.be my last haul of Silver before Brexit just adding to existing collections/adding some interesting new coins. Total 56 coins this final haul takes me to just over 2,000 oz Silver.

Another vintage 1oz. Mintage 5000.

Yesterday I also received two coins from the RM. This is the new silver proof Piedfort with the privy mark. Mintage 1969.

Great...making me get out the full frontally goodness of a proof Libertad!!😆

Today I received a very special 1898 Sovereign. It’s special because at the start of the last century my Grandad and his school mates in Mid Wales were all gifted a Sovereign each by David Davies of Llandinam(still waiting for confirmation of which one as there were several in the same family).  
My rough maths work it out to be a weeks wage at the time! Can you imagine the local lord, lady or modern equivalent going on to the local primary and doing that now!? 
More updates to follow when I get more info. 

Have it in a lighthouse card flip atm but you can still see the beauty 1,438,000 mintage

These beauties arrived today from USA, heres what they're like inside

I am back collecting.
I am building my 1887 collection again. And I bought a bunch of Britania's [not shown] and a few US coins.    
The Florin I will get graded. The Double Florin is cleaned. But I am looking for a Gothic Florin graded, if anyone has one.
 

7th 1 oz Silver Proof in the Queens Beasts series arrived today, seven down three more to go. Joined his place with his cousins in @Alun stunning box.

Today I received... This big beauty, with a diameter of 111mm, a thickness of 21mm and weighing 502gms, it's definitely a BIG Sovereign.  
So what's it worth..?

Finally finished my 2 oz proof Kook run, had to be in a 2 coin set for this one, haven't seen a single 2oz for sale in 3 years! The smallest mintage set and single at 232 and 327 respectively.
Picked up thanks to the Australian family connections of a good forum member😊

 

Picked up some slabs from NGC this week, nice trip down to the smoke and NGC handy for Euston/KIng's Cross😊
Took a few pics before they went to storage.


 

Recent arrivals from one of my fave german dealers
1/4 oz gold Queen's Beasts White Lion of Mortimer to continue my collection - a few % cheaper compared to Atkinsons.
and after taking part in @StevenDS challenge, i decided to join the Libertad party with some 2018 ones.

Adding more US Pre-33 gold, received an 1886-S $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle AU.

Another nice gold coin from @kneehow2018

My latest to add to the stack
