UK Cities £1 Gold.

From over the pond. HIHO Silver aka Bunker bullion is killing it..one for me and one for a friend😀

Shout out to @1817Karl for this one

The Royal mint absolutely blindsided me with a month old order I forgot I had made (and with it my bank balance 🤣) but it's here. Horrendous premium for a 28g ounce coin but I wasn't after this for the silver value. I know these aren't everyone's cup of tea but I love it and remembrance is a big thing to me.

2002 Platinum Panda 🐼 1/10

So many fantastic LP’s released in 1979, and all still hit my turntable regularly...
The Clash- London Calling, Stiff Little Fingers- Inflammable Material, Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures, The Damned- Machine Gun Etiquette, The Undertones- The Undertones & Blondie- Eat to the Beat. 
Thanks @1817Karl for the matching Sovereign! 


 

These two arrived today, my first glimpse of the new Britannia 2021 secure design and I wasn’t disappointed. The design is stunning.
This design comes a close second to the Britannia oriental designs in my opinion.
I’m impressed, I just need the gold version now.
I say need, maybe want?
No need it is. 😆

Still collecting the Rwandan Lunar series...resorted to Silver only at this point.
2021 Rwanda 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Ox Proof...













And five 2021 Rwanda 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of the Ox BU...

 

Arrivals in the last couple of weeks.  1854 20 Francs, 1987 Constitution Commemorative Proof set, 2020 Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve 5 oz ATB.  Libertad silver statue from Heads or Tales, and a brass sov scale.

Unexpected purchase 
Missed out on one of these last month as I got side tracked. Was so gutted. Then outta no where the same coin came up for auction again a couple days ago. Even better I got it cheaper than the origanal auction. When its ment to be its ment to be 
1/2 oz 24k southafrican wildlife series
and a cheeky bargain ebay libetad I won yesterday 😂😂
 

Few of the more interesting world silvers I received today don't see these every day Nice toning on the 1812 Eighteenpence/ 1s 6d token, British West Africa 2 Shillings 1918 in nice grade, and the star of the show, a 1888 Mombassa (Imperial British East Africa Company) - modern day Kenya Rupee minted in the Heaton mint in Birmingham.     

Thanks to @RiverbankSilver
 

Thanks to @MickD, the Mrs is chuffed! 

I have received my last silver 2 ounce Queen's Beasts coin.

Just can't get enough of these new gold Britannia's another two delivered today from My Gold Platform. First time I've used them, good price, good service.

My nephew has his 18th coming up - i suspected he might like this so i got it.

This is what I've received this week albeit not as exciting as others  😊  Got the quarter proof Sov proof from H&B - not sure about the Queens portrait but the  reverse is nice. Also got their 2020 Sov from H&B, a  1903 half sov from the forum and a Battle of Britain Ingot from CPM (not sure the picture of this does it justice - just waiting for the last 2 to arrive 😡).
 


 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Coin no 2 /6 in the Magic of Gold series from The Austrian Mint.
1/2oz Gold Proof

And that concludes my 1oz gold BU Queen’s Beast series 🎉 
Lets see if the RM can top it with the next one (Nothing like the Landmarks of Britain series please!)

Super fast delivery of this piece, really pleased with it, thanks @StBeesSilver

So I completed the first part of my kids sovereign date run in today’s post and one different sovereign added by @ilovesilverireallydo
Why a date run, my logic if I give them as birthday presents in date runs, it will hold sentimental value, that should  🙏evoke some thought before ever considering disposal - now there’s long term inheritance planning for you 😂

My first success bidding on the @TheCoinCabinet auction this weekend. I got all 3 coins I was after within my max bids. Really pleased with all 3 when they arrived this morning 

Also from the CC auction on Sunday this 2016 James Butler Half Sovereign. Surprisingly this, I believe was only the third one at 70 auctioned this year so not as common as you might think. 
This now proudly joins the famous five to become the special six.....



 
 

Thank you so much to @terakris for parting with the Reverse Proof Libertad. 

I could never tire of the beauty of the Winged Goddess of Victory.  
She looks fabulous sat next to the two other Reverse Proofs, and better still with the wider México 1/2 Onza family.
