Today I Received.....

[Pete]

I was tempted by the 2oz Lunar III mouse sold by @James32 and then decided "what the heck" let's build the set adding the Ox and Tiger so now I am committed, waiting for 2023.

All 3 coins arrived today -

2016 proof sovereign thanks to @Chrisplym a very nice example.

[Chrisplym]

Thanks @GoldDiggerDave. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I am glad that you are pleased with the coin 👍

Another small gold delivery today but an absolute stunner and a very very nice piece. A 1/20th 2016 libertad. These really don't come up often so I was chuffed to get my hands on it. I also am not 100% sure but I think it might be an ex-proof. All the fields are/were mirror finished from what I can tell and as far as my limited knowledge of these goes, aren't the bullion/uncirculated Matt on these? 

Edit...

So with a bit of research this is definitely a proof. An added score for me 🥳. Mintage of 2100 in proof and 2900 in bullion. So not many about in either form. Happy days 😁

Size isn't everything dear boy 😜

That's what us folks with small coins say anyway.

Outstanding USA delivery today. The 4 horseman limited to 250 proof sets and could be one of the best sets I've ever owned, at least right up there with hayleybug mythical creatures. The siren is the latest release to bring my set up to date

Tiny addition to the stack as I’ve decided to go down 1/10th route again as I change my mind more than the weather,

2022 1/10th gold Britannia.

Lovely, I do like these as I have a 1/10th Kruger Rand which I inherited from my father. So I have a fondness for 1/10th sizes. One day I'll start getting some more.

I do love a bit of fractional gold I had 7 in a rm tube previously changed my mind what I was collecting and tbh I’m going down a different career path and invetween jobs so I need to be more sensible, all the best with your 1/10th quest.

You have to be careful with fractionals.

"No... I'm afraid I lost all my gold in a boating accident. Yes, it was the 'Barnard's Castle Annual Remote Control Sailing Regatta' of '22.  I'm afraid I didn't see the replica of the Bismarck before it was too late, what with my poor eyesight. Luckily, they're great with that kind of thing round there - Specsavers on every corner! Didn't help with my 1/10th Britannias though. They're now part of Davy Jones' locker. Well, his petty cash tin at least."

[Ashes]

I really like this!

My first Britannia 100g Silver Bar to add to the collection.

I love buying these, then after one has arrived I get remorse wishing that I had saved the money for something like a full sovereign!
