Today I Received.....

[mr1030]

Delivered yesterday, 2019 Premium Sovereign Proof Set.

Also bought a couple of coins from the LCS.  An 1853 $1 Liberty Type 1, and an 1861 $1 Type 3 Indian.  I'm only missing the $1 Type 2 and the $3 Indian Princess to complete my U.S. gold type set.

And if anyone hasn't examined a $1 gold coins in hand, here is a pic of them next to the tip of a pen for scale to show how small they are.  How people back then could have transacted with these without losing them is beyond me.

Thanks @arshimo2012 for the Dragons and @Lea79 for the 2012 Half.

And two deliveries from the Royal Mint including the fabled Victoria Celebration Sovereign.

And the very nice SOTD Sovereign

And in my change at the chippy on my way home from work

Lol I may have to mate. Silver storage has become a pain as safety boxes are not cheap. That lot there is about 3.5kg worth of silver lol.

He is a gold tart, cheating on his silver, though I suppose if you are going to cheat it might as well be with something better or worthwhile
