Today I Received.....

You cannot own an air rifle over 12 ft lbs of power without a licence, yet you can own a 250 ft lb crossbow , I am sure its some ancient law to do with everyone being able to own a bow in this country.

I am looking at getting a longbow, but going to wait until my shoulder is better first, crossbows are the perfect shtf survival tools.

Just be careful what you do and who you say it to 

From government site

Using a crossbow (or any bow weapon) for hunting is completely illegal here in the UK. The crossbow itself cannot be carried in public and a common sense approach should be adopted when transporting a crossbow. However, It is not illegal to own a crossbow.16 Dec 2017

 

What isn't illegal in the UK lol. I see gun crime is still pretty bad even with the stupid gun laws. Why? Because criminal don't give a **** about the laws. If you see what I said I didn't actually say I planned to use it for killing a animal here in the UK.  I only said a would kill a animal that I wanted for dinner 😉😎

I have had Barnett crossbows years ago, be careful of what bolts you have on you also, crosshead hunting and armour piercing bodkin bolts are illegal to use in one, only the really crappy broadheads which would bounce off the side of the wheely bin and are designed to just mark a target.

Yeah I've had a good look at the laws. Going to be keeping it at his farm as it's easier and safer being left over there.

Half way there on my 50 piece Tetris set

Received these two beauties on my top most wanted list...A tremendous “Thank you for all of your help!!!” to @richatthecroft for facilitating these purchases from two great The Silver Forum members, @ST1986 and @InvestInCoins888!!

Firstly, finally received one of the most beautiful and tantalizing Gold Britannias, a 2003 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Proof.

And close to closing out my 2017 Gold Sovereign collection, a glorious 2017 Gold Sovereign Proof!! Just need to finish up with the 2017 Gold Double Sovereign (Hint, hint 😁).

No I think they are under. If I remember rightly a 50 piece set is around 44 Oz.

@BackyardBullion?

Great coin! I love the Centenário, and if my budget ever allowed it, I would be torn between that and the St. Gaudens double eagle. The Centenário would probably win though for being the larger coin.

Each tetris piece ranges from about 22 grams up to 30 grams

[StackerCollector]

Not received today, but all within the last 4 weeks. Thanks to @arshimo2012 for the Queen's Beast Unicorn and thanks to @Emanuel for the 10 oz Valiant. The 2 sovereigns are from Chards, always happy with their prices. And the 2 x 5 oz Russian proof coins are from Ebay. Also a bargain as the seller accepted my offer. The Russian coins will go to NGC and then in the deposit box for the retirement stack. It has been a nice month with a mix of gold and silver stacking and 2 numismatic collector coins

[cornishrich]

Thanks @ilovesilverireallydo

[CoinStruck]

Arrived back from PCGS this week. The 1876 British Sovereign, the only one of that year graded by PCGS with the Proof Like (“PL”) designation.

I was grading this for a friend with a few of my coins. Needless to say he is very happy. 

[swirl]

I got a nice little bar from @BackyardBullion, nothing I'd usually buy because of the price. But a) I can support the content provided by BYB on YT with that and b) it's really nice to look at.

And it is a great looking bar once again. But that doesn't help the bar... it will go in a dark place with it's brother from last year, only to be looked at from time to time to enjoy them

[MANJSK]

Finally turned up, I like em

[LawrenceChard]

Another Dinosaur Coin:

The last of the current series, in Cupro-Nickel, silver and gold expected soon.

We couldn't get inside the building to photograph the latest gold unboxing:

Looks like we need to add another storey.
