Here is the 1923 South African mint proof sovereign, this one graded PF65 by PCGS. Mintage of only 655 coins. 
I have been on the lookout for one of these for a while now. Thanks Eric @drakesterlingfor this one, I will be keeping this a core part of my proof sovereign collection. 
 

I didn't actually technically receive this, but... I went for a walk (local) with my dad and his dog today and we chatted for a while. He quite likes silver himself, in fact I got into it through him. On last weeks walk we got chatting about the Una & the Lion craziness. Today when we got back to his (I didn't go in, stood at the conservatory door with my mask on!) he said he had something to show me, then he produced this. Sorry about the photos but it was the best I could manage under the circumstances.

1kg proof. Gobsmacked. The most beautiful silver I have ever seen, let alone held. Great day!

Firstly, i've shed a fair bit of Gold weight lately to make way for a very special purchase and I would like to extend thanks to all the forum members who purchased coins from me to make it possible.  You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated 😀 
And secondly, and once again, thank you very much for all the effort, time and patience! That @SilverMike, @Roy & @Elements provided, in terms of helping to guide me into making this fantastic acquisition 👍😃
So, what exactly is in the box? 🤷‍♂️  

 
It needs no introductions...
 



 
And maybe, just maybe that 5 Pound is Ultra Cameo?  The Obverse certainly meets the criteria! 😉

5oz Black Proof Tiffany Art Isfahan 2020, this stunning series is now over and the 3 oz (proof)and this 5oz finish it with beauty (I'll post pictures of the 3 variations later  when I'll have
all them in hands (proof, black proof and antiqued) 
 

Wow thanks @RiverbankSilver

Finally, I was going through some gold withdrawal over Christmas and picked this up for the gold collection...an 1894 $10 Liberty Head Eagle!

Did we think that was all??? Not in the least...thanks to the postal system getting clobbered over the better part of a month, everything arrived practically all at once.
Firstly, from @TheCoinConnection, given it was near impossible finding these in the states at a reasonable price, some 2020 Silver Libertads! A gorgeous 2020 Mexico 2 oz Silver Libertad Proof!


An exceptional 2020 Mexico 1 oz Silver Libertad Proof...

Today I received something very special... of to vaulted storage it goes.

Received these back today. First time getting grading done. Really happy with the results. This grading business is a bit addictive. I was like a kid in candy store when I got them. Lol

I see forum members are selling 1oz bullion Britannias for £100 over spot price plus postage .
 at £50 over spot price including postage from a reputable dealer In Hatton garden during a national lockdown for this £5 sovereign , I cant complain about the condition of the coin  , I don't care if he used it for a game of shove or as an arshole plug on his wife , it's a bargain mate .

Can tell I'm on a week off lol 
Libertad mania continues with some awsome condition beauties.

Got these back from grade and absolutely over the moon. All stunning in their own right but the Tetradrachm is something else, all that history ...

Lovely new addition from Sovereign Rarities to the double sov special reverse collection

1820 George III Sovereign looking good in one of @morezones airtites.

2018 & 2019 reverse & gold proofs 1/2 ounce libertads
Many thanks to @richatthecroftfor passing on these fabulous coins, whilst remaining in Yorkshire 😃. 
I thought I’d share some pics I just took. They are quite fabulous examples and real eye catchers. When time allows I will send them off for grading. 
As I am sure some will already know, but for those who do not, the half ounce gold/reverse proof for 2018 has a mintage 1000; that was the first year the reverse in gold was struck. Accompanying that pair are the 2019 equivalents, where mintages were even more modest 650 for the gold proof and 500 for the reverse in half ounce. Suffice to say I’m made up. Many thanks Rich 😎.
regards, jaconet

Thanks to @ilovesilverireallydofor my 1st gold sov.
