My wife's dad who used to be a dustman found a bag of coins in the rubbish and he recently gave them to me. Found these two in the bag.

The past 2 weeks have been productive, converted graded silver into gold...

London coin fair buys today 

A few silver pickups.  10 x 2018 kookaburras and 10x 2017 Anniv Britannias.  Like both as they come in capsules, and of course the beautiful designs.  The flying Kook is a nice change.  
Then a PF70 2012 Brit, and a bunch of Red Dragon Queen’s Beasts silver proofs.  They should appreciate nicely - as the series progresses.  

Unleash the Beasts! Very happy with these beautiful coins from Atkinsons.  As subsequent to my last Gold purchase, everyone take advantage of the price dip now I have bought again!  Love the Krug's, thanks @Bullionbilly for your help with this purchase, wonderful coins.  Also a South Korean Gallus from @arshimo2012 not my usual coin choice but very interesting detail.  Plus two very regal looking Britannia's from eBay, 

Not quite what I was expecting arrived from HGM.
Grabbed 2 proof half sovs £121 each and they turned out to be IOM 1979 commemorative jobs, mintage 30,000.
Got to say, I am quite taken with them. Trouble is my OCD wants me to put them in capsules like the rest of my little hoard.
 

1861 shieldback sov
NGC XF45 RIA/RIA in victoria 
only 3 been graded by NGC each
 
2002 full proof sov

1910 Australian Florin

1912 5 Yen (MS63) I am still trying to find a gold Yen from 1914 for my WW I set but might have to settle for this one or a 1914 silver yen (which is on its way). Any help appreciated 
 

RMC 5g gold bar and 1 oz silver bar. 
5g Argor Heraeus gold kinebar. 
1 oz Great Britain Landmark series Tower Bridge coin. 

5 X 1kg silver bars (4X Metalor + 1 X Heraeus)
Silver proof RM R2D2, BB8 + C3PO
I have added some pics of the reverse of the coins as there are no pics on the RM website. 
The mintage of these is only 750 so if anyone is thinking of buying grab one quick as my R2D is no. 614 and C3PO is 408 and I ordered a couple of days ago.

Yet both have a face value of £1, one is practically now worthless the other is worth about £240.
Demonstrates fiat nicely.

After a long day at work, its nice to come home to the one's I love...the Silver Variety that is.   Here we have a nice set of Birmingham 1922 Rat Tail teaspoons/coffee spoons made by Docker & Burn in fab condition,  a 1892 Zar South Africa 2 1/2 Shillings Coin and another 1922 Peace Dollar for the stack.  All bought for a low price from same seller on eBay who also combined postage, fantastic deal late on Sunday night, unloved by other bidders, their loss my gain.  
A small stack of mixed  BU Silver coins, thanks @arshimo2012.
And some nice capsules for my soon to arrive QB's in the Group Order, thankyou @BackyardBullion for organising the order.  
 As well as a Valentines gift for the other one I love, with thanks to @SilverStan  who beautifully crafted this Silver Heart which is destined for my wife to hopefully keep things sweet and enable my new found love affair to continue! 
 

Today my 1979 proof sovereign and pound note set arrived in the post with thanks to @shawy2510 

Just got a 1906 Half Sovereign from HGM.

2005 proof sov

7 X 1oz Brits and a 1/2 oz Brit.
One 2009 in the mix so a different design to the usual.

1878-CC Morgan

Just received this. Thanks@BackyardBullion

76 in total. Around that yeah. I find that it's a very good way to get cheap silver if you don't mind storing it. Also makes it more interesting as you can build up a nice collection of pre-decimal coins.

Not the highest quality and I wasn't even lookingfor morgans but was only  £50 and thought quite well priced!

Just collected a lot of 50% Silver 3d. Some nice grades to go into the collection, the rest will go into my scrap pot. Best part was the whole lot only cost £10!
 

Got my first Melbourne young sovereign the other week are these sort of coins worth getting graded ? 

Another 1kg bar thanks to @Sovsaver
