Then i got some coins from forum members.

From Stacker Mike some Kookaburras and a Plank Privateer to finish off my nephew's set.

[sixgun]

Then some of the coins from the Emerald Isle from mondy41 including my only ever Canadian Mint coin 

Arshimo sent me some old style Libertads - i so much prefer these to the newer design.

Can't say I'm keen on the designs, they seem very cartoon/juvenile for my taste.

Yes some people do think they are somewhat cartoonish. I have the same from Andy and i agree i prefer that design. 

i showed the coin from Lucky just now to someone and they loved it. "Really cute" - they are both collectibles and very limited mintages.

I have both and they are both great. I like the cartoonish design which seems much better than any coin from Perth or NZ mint based on real cartoons ))

Visited the London Coin Fair today and it was great to hang out with@platinumskies and@backyardbullion

Everything was grossly expensive and I wanted everything but in the end bought a 1/20th Libertad!!!





Made a video with@backyardbullion that's now up on you tube

Lots of amazing coins but 99% of them overpriced! I picked up a 1913 20 Franc Gold Rooster for Spot +1% and a bunch of walking liberty half dollars for £5 each! 

@Numistacker

@Platinumskies

Not always something for everyone but its always nice to see a £60,000 coin from 1693 in person! Fun day out!

[lightjaw]

Dammit, I was there too. Bought a little 2016 sov for the wife and an 1894 10 kronor swedish coin for 145 which I really like. Wonder if it's been cleaned? Might attach some pics

An Ebay pick up. My first silver proof coin. I think the reverse is especially cool.

Beautiful coin!

Thanks! I don't know much about these coins but i'll have to look in to it because it definitely won't be my last!

Yesterday I received..... my 100th gold sovereign*! 

I didn't realise until I just updated my spreadsheet.

And a cool one at that.

*the sovereign family inc. half, full and doubles

Nice way to reach a century !

Yup.

And I'm a soppy old tart. I picked this up from Arshi. Perfect.

Looking back i wish id have picked up a couple myself. Trying to thin down the silver to cheap/bullion and will have a look at getting a few sovs myself.

[Roy]

They tick all the boxes for me.

Low premium, small and light, gorgeous to look at and they only take up one shelf in my fridge.

Plus....exit, exit, exit!

I could walk into HGM or Atkinsons tomorrow and sell them all, with a profit at today's spot.

1991 and 1994 1/10 Britannia proofs from @Ollie1016

 

[morezone]

A couple of Lunar 1 1/10ths.  Capsules were damaged but after pointing it out to the seller they refunded the cost of replacing the caps.

more pandas...

thanks @arshimo2012 and @StackerMike

Some more recent Ebay purchases. 1993 5 pound proof and three 1.1oz sterling silver proof medallions from the Mountbatten High Seas Collection, which I only bought as they were going for spot but I really like and will have to start collecting the other 97!

My 1937 Half Sovereign arrived very quickly from China [emoji630] today by EMS and no duty or Parcelforce charges.













I can't see any reason why after NCS conserve it it wouldn't get a 65 or maybe a 66. I really like it.

New Zealand Mint Star Wars Classics 1/4 Gold Princess Leia and Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Weakest of the releases so far in my opinion.
