Not every coin that puts a huge smile on your face has to cost an arm and a leg. My very sincerest thanks to @Chrispringle85for sending me the 2020 at cost to himself. What an absolute gentleman. 
Thanks also of course to @richatthecroftfor parting with the complete date run in the first place. Just one spot to fill. Or shall I order another box? Decisions, decisions 😋😋

You're very welcome Tim, I am glad I could help you out. 1 more to go!! Let's hope they don't leave it as long next time 🤣

Received today from @Shep.  My favourite modern Sovereign, you can never have enough of this coin in your collection 😉  The plain edge is sublime.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder I guess 😃 The camera- iPhone SE with an ‘Olloclip’ Macro lens attachment.

Got a 1/10th from the Royal Mint (using the daily mail amazon gift card  voucher code so lets see if that  turns up in a few months). My its so small but perfectly formed  ! 

Not great quality pics but thought the 1p might give an idea of scale.

Bucking advice of many here, 1/10th coins if bought right, are a shrewd purchase. My experience is that there’s always buyers readily awaiting them- and buy ten over time and you have an Ounce of the good stuff pretty painlessly accumulated. 

In terms of size, if it matters 😂 not much smaller than a half Sovereign and some issues, such as the Elephants share about the same diameter as a Half Sovereign and are lovely looking coins.

Well if I do get the £25 amazon gift card I'm treating the purchase as effectively getting it at just over spot purchase which is pretty good going for a 1/10th! If not its still a nice little coin!

Lovely coin and a beautiful quality picture! I can never seem to photo my coins to look as sharp and clear as that;  Did you use a phone camera?    Thanks for posting.

I got quite a few Nikon cameras very old and very new that I use for work, though the newer ones I am still getting the hang of.

Top tip.  Thanks.  I want to get better shots of my coins.  This might just be my Christmas present to myself... because the kids will probably get me socks or a tie again this year!!😕

Can you get 2020 Libertads at a fair price ?
Looking perhaps for a full tube so may have to wait until we know who can circumvent the 20% VAT in the New Year.

£33-£34 is the best you will find them at the moment in the UK. So a pretty high premium. I won't be buying any more lol

Silver trader had 170 in stock yesterday and with his discounts and prices breaks might be good for you

Thanks - reasonable for 1 or 2 but for a full tube somewhat high.
I can order in Germany for €32 each but will wait until the dust settles post Brexit to see what happens.
