Thanks very much everyone 👍🏼

Pleased to have got this one in the end, I thought I'd missed the boat!

Gold 20 Swiss Franc "Vreneli" from @Tn21

First sovereign since the queen died and premiums went thru the roof.... buying the set worked out at £49.95 a gram. 
Full sovereign for £365.73, half for £182.87 and quarter for £91.43... well happy with that! 

smells of desperation

So today I received this 4 coin 1997 silver Britannia set. This is the very first year that silver Brittania coins were minted and were minted not in .999 fine silver, nor in .925 sterling silver...... but in .958 Britannia silver. I only found this out after acquiring a 1/10th gold proof 1997 coin and in my usual habit I felt the compulsion to pair it with the 1oz silver equivalent so here I am with a full set lol. These were not a sell out at the mint so numbers are drastically down on what could've been minted. I've put some pictures of final mintages for the curious. There's some natural toning but other than that there's not a milk spot, a scratch or a finger mark to be seen so toying with the idea of @GoldDiggerDave service again. Should i let them keep their natural patina or get them back to shiny again.... decisions decisions 🤔 

This beautiful Queen Victoria diamond sovereign set arrived today and will be for sale 😀

Absolutely stunning sixpence from @AndrewSL76

2 QEII sovs from @Sh97ifand a 10oz Heraeus from @theman73

 
 
 
 

Actually, i was just out for breakfast until i walked past the window of a pawnshop and spotted two lonely Sovereigns amongst some terrible ugly jewellery. Finally my first Gillick and a George V Sovereign for spot. Nothing wrong with it despite the poor condition.

Thanks to @ST1986and @SheepStacker for the deliveries. Both been on the wish list for a while. 

Finally got around to playing with my new* camera and lens [Canon EOS 650D + 50mm 1.8 STM] ...*new to me  
Tried out some lighting effects and focus stacking
