Absolutely Flawless - 2008 Gold Proof £1 Coat of Arms

 

An auction success brought this pristine specimen to me for spot including delivery. The early bid catches the worm.

 

Also included was the original invoice, showing that 14 years ago the Royal Mint were selling new proof issues at 62% over spot, compared with about 70% today.

 

The condition is quite sublime...even dust particles fear to tread.

 

This familiar (to those who have attained puberty) design is that of the inaugural 1983 £1, but one of just two auric appearances.

1888 Half Crown to add to the set.

This one has a little more toning than i'm used to, but its growing on me (i think)

An empty 1oz gold 10 coin box from the Royal Mint.   It’s top quality a lovely wooden  engraved case, storage under the tray and the lid is soft closing. 
 

I will be building a 1oz gold Tudor beast set.

Splendid box, love the design on the top, and as @James32 pointed out the compartment at the bottom for secret stash.

 I would also buy a box like this, great find 👍👍👍

Supposed to be 10 pence in my change 🙄 turns out to be Croatian and worth approximately 22 pence 😀 anyone else recently made 120% profit today?😅😅😅

Interesting but then I'm easily amused.

[Silverman2U]

Received these little beauties… some I was meant to receive a 5oz 3 graces… not a 2oz! I am interested what The Coin Cabinet will come back with knowing their listing was wrong and the deal is done… want coins back and refund my money I suspect. It will be a shame … taken me a year not to get that 2oz silver Una and the lion!

Not much happened in the year 1900, though apparently £1 in 1900 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £136.61 today. So based on that you'd probably have been able to buy a low end smart phone or just about a tank of fuel in your Ferrari for a mere £1, the face value of one of these 122 years ago.

A couple of items arrived this morning.

From the Royal Mint, three, one gram gold bars – ready to be Christmas presents for my niece and nephews.

And an early Christmas present for myself, a well-used silver 1821 Crown with no unsightly scratches or edge knocks – a good, honest, two hundred year old, piece of history.

It was around 1 weeks wage back then.   Today they are £365  around a weeks wage, gold is a true store of wealth.

Continueing on my quest to collect all of the proof Brits

1997 eludes me (unless i want to pay stupid money!!)

Todays Brit is 2011. Its a bit mucky when shot in macro, so might look to sell this one if i can find another for a similar price

Thanks to @Auronum for 2 x 20 francs

You can quite often find the 1997 ones as part of the annual set at auction houses on line. All in including postage mine cost about £130 not that long ago. I also picked up cheap an annual set to go with my 2013 5oz proof!

A couple of coins I received today. 2 Ase's to continue my modest date run, thanks to @arphetheanfor those. A 2022 Lib from silver trader to add to my other modest run and a coin which I've wanted for a while but had decided to wait to get. But after seeing @GoldDiggerDaveyou tube video of it I couldn't resist. The Mrs was NOT happy!! Lol
