It really does look like spaghetti! However I love it!

As I liked the piedfort versions design, but not it's chunkiness, I decided to get the standard weight sovereign. 2019 proof Australian sovereign, commemorating 200 years since Victoria's birth. Huge thanks to @1stsovereign 
Leprosy Queenie is a registered trademark of the Perth Mint proofs, but It is only really prominent in the macro camera shots 

Got a bit carried away over last few week's. I had zero gold beforehand, but I do like my first few purchases..😅😍

Love that design! In gold it looks slightly better

Thanks @1stsovereign.  My oldest gold so far.  A bit of a shame someone decided to turn it into a pendent some time in the last 227 years.

Have had a nice chat today with one of the most respectable dealer today regarding pension plan, well how to avoid brand new tax on it... his advise was very simple buy gold!
Would appreciate other members options/opinions on the matter as I am not a financial advisor.
Thank you

Finally acquired a better Napoleon Premier Consul half franc - a while ago but stuck in the post!
Completes my Napoleon 30 coin typeset, it only took nearly 20 years and 12 years for a graded version.
 

The only reason paying into a company pension for me is  the FREE Life Insurance. Most firms pay 5 times your salary if you die in work. Peace of mind for me and the other half, if either of us dies whilst in work, the surviving person will be able to live a reasonable life thereafter. I agree GOLD is a good way to save instead of a pension, I have built up a tidy stack since 2017.

I have literally, just completed a full Gillick set (10), having bought all of them from TSF members in the last 14 days. Six in hand, and four to be posted after the RM strike is over. Cost? Under £3800…Quality..make your own judgement.

Free plug to the sellers here @1stsovereign@brnlx639…and when he eventually limps to the Post Office @augur
Mission completed:-

A saving of over £2700 compared to The Royal Mint!….but no box😢
 
 
 

Have never won the day on TSF but today I feel like I did 😂 really pleased with this 1oz Platinum Platinum Jubilee Proof courtesy of @1stsovereign

Picked up this little beaut! Thanks @1stsovereign
 

Have to say lack of the frost on reverse makes it very hard to make a perfect picture...
Took me good 1h with different lights to capture it to my satisfaction 
This is the final result
