Received the 2021 sovereign from the Royal Mint this week. It took a while as I understand the RM need to restock packaging for the coin.

Well worth the wait. It has the QC “quality control” sticker and the coin looks great. Nice privy mark on the reverse.

This lovely 1914 bullion from Atkinsons, great service and only about 4% over spot.

It’s been a big week this week receiving the 1887 proof half and 2021 proof sovereign shown in earlier posts.

The last two coins for this week are a 1923 Melbourne sovereign and a 1909 Melbourne half sovereign.

i bought the sovereign from a Queensland based auction house. Lovely coin with a 511,129 mintage that year. 

The Melbourne half sovereign came from an eBay auction. Condition is a bit worn but it was a circulation coin. I keep a lookout for Australian half sovereigns as the mintage levels were usually low and the coins were used as money and many melted when too worn. For example the mintage for the 1909 Melbourne half sovereign was 186,094 versus over 3 million for the 1909 Melbourne full sovereign.

Another nice selection of South American silver plus a coin from Mozambique from @DuncanWylieWilson, who seems to have an endless supply of really nice coins.

Knowing I had an interest in coins and precious metals, my father just handed me a small bag of coins and notes, which had been given to him, a few years ago by a family friend.

Mostly non-precious world coins and old pennies etc. and some US/UK junk silver, but there were a few surprises - a few uncirculated £1 notes (with XX and XXX serial numbers) and 3 Lovely Ladies Looking Left:

 

 

Sorting through old pennies was where I came in...

Counting them in our family's amusement arcade was one of my jobs as a teenager, and I still like "old" pennies, and most other pre-decimal coins, which I think were better engraved and struck then modern decimal coins.

We still have a few tons of old pennies which need sorting out when we have time...

Today I received an absolutely stunning toned India - British 1 Rupee 1900-B. This is now my second favourite coin after my beautifully toned 1887-S Morgan dollar. Wonderful!

P.S. Keep an eye out for some of my interesting sales lots today! 👀 You won't be disappointed!

GOODIES LISTED! TAKE A LOOK AT MY SALES! 😀🪙

I'll sort them pennies out for you, but i don't think there's much value in them, especially the 1933 one sat on top of the pile!

Do you know, I've been wondering what happened to that one!

Congratulations on being the first to spot it.
