My first Sovereign!  Won this 1918-I George V at Heritage Auctions for $300 ($352 w/ buyer's premium).  I've been sweating it all week since it posted.  There was some early action (starting bid was $150) and then tonight during the live bidding, nothing.  I'm stoked to have this to start my George V 1918 set.  It'll be on its way to NGC soon.

Lucky dip from Atkinsons...

The postman has just brought my new favourite silver coin [emoji4]

Guilty, my coins although I guess my name probably gives it away!
I have been sending a few to Numi each grading, now slowly running out of ones that I think will benefit from slabbing, I probably don't need 15 MS slabbed 1866's although it might make it easier to sell the extra ones if I decide to abandon the high grade die number goal?
 

Today I bought... (two mins ago) the
Australian Koala 2017 2oz Silver High Relief Antiqued Coin.
 
Really like the design on it!

Die numbers?
There are quite a lot of die number collectors out there - me included! Although it will be no surprise I started collecting the sixpences rather than the other denominations and as far as I know no one has managed to get them all for each denomination although I know someone who is very close to the full set for florins, shillings and sixpences. There are ~800 basic ones for the sixpences and I started to get regularly outbid for rare numbers and/or high grade examples which meant after 20 years I have almost given up - last time I checked we do have all the sixpence die numbers between my collection and a couple of others. It does mean lots of lower grade coins though?and a slabbed full set would be of immense numismatic importance - if it wasn't for the cost I could send at least another ~600 to Numi for grading??
The recent Bentley collection of sovereigns significantly updated the list of known die numbers for these.
I could go through all the possible reasons proposed for die numbers on coins from 1864-1879 but that's a longer story?

My awesome 2005 and 2006 proof half sovereign Facebook bonus ball win.  I don't usually gamble, but this 1 payed off big time ? Happy days ?.

Today I received a proof queens beast lion of england proof 1oz, which has very weird silver flecks over the design. Very disappointed. Will have to get a replacement.

Today I received a 10 oz lunar 2 monkey to finish of the type set, been on the look out for a while now and it finally showed up on chards at a very reasonable price compared to other German dealers. 
I also recieved the box for them to go in, I am really happy with the box, it makes the set look that extra bit special! 
I might have to start with the rest of the sets now lol but there is too many series's out there and I can't collect them all
