Today I received two 2017 Premium Gold Proof Sovereign sets. I'm hoping to flip one quickly to bring down my net cost for my 'keeper'. 
 
It came via Special Delivery, in a padded box! 
 





 
Not the best pictures but you get the gist, hopefully.

You'll probably struggle as 95% of members are based in Britain and these sound like unusual American coins.  I'm not even sure what a CA Fractional Half is!

I bought a Knights Templar Ultra High Relief 2 oz Silver Round from Gainseville Coins in the US.  Hoping it avoids Customs, otherwise it will be an expensive coin.  £43.50 landed, at the moment.


 

I think Clens has said not once but twice, that the price includes postage.
You'll need to get used to the terminology used by stackers on this forum, when someone says "£43.50 landed". That means the price INCLUDES postage costs. ie landed in the UK from abroad.
However, Clens has not received it yet, hence the comment that it may cost more if customs spot it. If they do, then Royal Mail of whoever, will charge an £8 customs fee charge, and a 20% VAT charge, which Clens will have to pay before it will be delivered, hence his comment that it may become an more expensive coin.
I hope this clears any confusion you may have about the coin.

£43.50   A very kind chap in the States put in a bulk-order and then split them for those of us in the UK. 
It's the first 'round' (non-monetised coin) that I've bought - the detailing looks fantastic, and the Knights Templar is always going to attract interest, so I think it'll hold its value well.

I would be very, very surprised if we don't hit £1010/oz at some point today.  BoJo's statement about his Brexit-vision will do little to settle people's nerves - calling for the UK to basically remain in the EEA will not sit well with Leavers and damage his leadership chances.
The Corbyn affair continues to add to uncertainty in the UK.
 
I beleieve the Chancellor is set to make a statement Monday morning - this may be too little, too late; he must be expecting to resign soon... If he goes tomorrow, the markets will go loopy.  Hopefully it's just a statement of reassurance that calms the stock market.
 
Pound to fall against the dollar.  Gold to rise in GBP for the next 12 hours.

Has the Silver Forum turned into Match.com........LOL       

Decided to make my gold:silver ratio a bit more sensible, or even existant - went for an 1895 and 1897 half sovereign.  I think I paid a pretty fair amount for them - about a fiver more per coin for the older date?
 
  
 
  
 
 
Apologies for the poor pictures!

Got this today - paid above spot but well below retail; hoping for a quick flip so that I can buy some Noah's Arks (it may well turn up in the For Sale section in an hour or two!).  .999 silver (12g per coin) Anniversary of the Guinea eight coin set.
 

 

 

15 ASEs and 5 2015 Lunar Goats courtesy of STG - my first order and I was seriously impressed with their service.  I see myself ordering a lot more from them.
