Personally, I prefer to see boxed sets remain in their box.  Plus, with a sub 100 cert number, that looks ideal for a display piece.

Have to say I was surprised and delighted with the number

Added some more memorial bullion whilst spot was low and also a 1/4oz QE2 memorial from Ash

[bobski]

Some ASE’s to add to my date run and a lovely 1/4 proof greyhound, both from @Webster and yet another tube of silver brits from Facebook 😂🙈

[Agaupl]

A very minty 50 year old Krug. Looks to have never been touched. And best of all 0.25% above spot including tax!

These 1964 dimes were handed out free to promote NGC grading at a London Coin Fair.

Great little keepsake.  Mine is - 026! 😃

This part should be "Today I Found".

Something a little different to the norm. After clearing out old drawers, I came across this Waterman L'Etalon fountain pen (Confirmed on a British fountain pen page) My Dad gave this to me 20 years ago and I forgot I had it.

I just tossed it aside like a normal pen with no interest but I kept it as it was a nice gift. It turns out that it's a hallmarked sterling silver barrel and lid with an 18kt gold nib. I was stunned when I was told this today. It's worth a fair amount as it was discontinued 20 years ago and is now a rare item.

It's like finding treasure. Sentimentality and value. Perfect!

I am glad that you like them @Solachesis!

Some bits I’ve been waiting a few months on. My first copper proof, is quite stunning. How long it will stay shiny is another matter but it’s well worth it. 

the memorial 50p is one of my favourites, first time I’ve seen it in person. pity it’s not .999.

I wonder what that Copper Proof would look like suspended in clear resin to preserve it. Would ruin the feel of a coin, but wouldn’t go green and be visually cool.

just me thinking out loud.

I’m not risking taking it out of the capsule so it wouldn’t ruin the feel in that sense. I think it would look good in resin. I’ve thought about vacuum packing it too. Anything to keep it bright. It’s very humid here also so will be interesting to see what happens.

I bought both my kids the silver proof coronation 50p for £60 each back in April. I kind of gave them to them and they were kind of interested (they're in the safe with the rest of MY stuff lol)
