Last week I received two nice items, but very different from each other.
The first is a nice coin from Burundi from the Baby five series. I've been looking for a coin from Burundi for longer, but I really don't like their design in the African lion series. I managed to get this one for a reasonable price in an online auction. It came without the original box, but I think the price makes up for it. I really love the design on this one. The high relief combined with the antiquing really makes it pop out. In real life it looks a bit better than photos with the light playing of it.
The other one is a cool item is native silver of a calcite base. Not for stacking of course, but nice to have the range of silver in it's original form, bars and coins. I love the fine detail on it.

2018 65th Anniversary Sapphire Coronation Celebration Struck on the Day Sovereign arrived! Looks awesome and the capsule stayed secure through the transit!

Received today from Bullionbypost. I was impressed with their communication and next day delivery. Very impressive coin.

1959 Mexico Gold 20 Pesos with a beautifully detailed Cuauhxicalli Eagle Bowl Aztec Calendar or Sun Stone and edge inscription “INDEPEDENCIA Y LIBERTAD”. Thank you very much to @JunkBond for his advice and inspiration in adding some Mexican gold to the collection.
Also, five 2013 Great Britain 1/4 oz Silver Britannia SS Gairsoppa BU. Having a beautiful portrait of Britannia with the ship’s name as an edge inscription in a lasting tribute to Gairsoppa and her crew.

I just got this today. A 1820 gold half sovereign coin with a mintage of just 35,000. Any guesses on what it might grade ?

First of two coins purchased from respected forum member @Paul
1924 $20 Dollar St Gaudens. It is safe to say this coin has blown me away!
Paul is a top fella to deal with.
 

1852 Half Sovereign. Lovely obverse, bit of a scratch on the reverse but pricey nicey. 
Ebay seller turned out to be a local coin collector and delivered it to me last night. Lovely chap, we chatted for ages, much to the wife's annoyance!
 

My first 1/4oz gold Britannia. I have quite a few 1oz gold coins, but this is my first fractional coin.
I quite like it. Not as much as the full Britannia, but it's still nice, and still gold!

Recent acquisitions from Baird & Co and Hatton Garden Metals. 

As a Fathers Day gift today: Marsh “The Gold Sovereign” ?
what a great book - don’t know how I have survived so long without Marsh...Now i dont have to Google up the branch mintages! 

I admit - I succumbed to the collector gene: a 2018 proof Rwanda Nautical ounce, HMS Endeavour.  
Nice coin though! 

Also received some gold...
Added a first to the gold sovereign collection. An 1866 Sydney Branch Mint Queen Victoria Australia One Sov.

An 1887 Jubilee Head (London Mint) Gold Sovereign from an eBay auction...
And a “lucky dip” 1957 Gold Sovereign from APMEX.
Overall a good spread of sovs added to the collection!

Just bought a George V sovereign from Sharps Pixley and 3 x silver Bitcoin rounds from Arshi.

Just ordered a 20 Pesos from Baird Mint, looking foreward to some Mexican Gold.
