This week I received some 5oz 2016 proof Brits most of them having spots ? Will be sending them back.

1/4 Platinum Eagle from  @UraaniBarbaari
 

Another of the one-off design Britannias.

got me a 3gram goldpanda NGC MS70

Kiwi eggs. Gold & Silver.
 

Picked up a 1/10 Mercury Dime earlier.  Came in the Mint packaging etc but the bulk just gets in the way so I've put it in a capsule and will go into the album with the rest of my 1/10th collection.

From Pobjoy Mint

This delicious little proof Kook. 
 
 

Turning some of my collectable gold into stacking gold so the money I got for my 2003 gold panda exchanged for a 1984 1oz panda and a 2015 sovereign from HGM

2012 Proof Lunar Dragon 3-coin set (from atkinsons), 2008/2009 1/10 Britannias proof, 1864 Shield back sov.
Love the sovereign, just getting "into" them and really happy with this one at what i paid for it, though someone please tell me if condition sucks so i know for the future what is the right price to pay @sovereignsteve. It does look much nicer in person, still getting used to this camera and getting the lighting right for gold to show off its colour
 

Bought this blind. Looks lovely ☺️
 
 
Does anyone know how accurate these prices are?

Today i received a 2011 and 2012 silver britannia's.
Small ebay order to help me complete a date run. 4 more coins to get the run up to date

I have been quietly communicating with @SilverStan over the last month or two regarding a couple of custom made silver orders including boxes and COA as gifts for family. It has been a engaging and fascinating journey and SilverStan has been awesome (and his missus) with their thoughtfulness and commitment to what they do. I haven't seen the finished products yet but will post when I get some pictures.

This half guinea finally arrived.  The good news is that I thought there was a scratch of the obverse but it's not there now. 
Maybe it was on the camera lens.


 

First Panda 1/2 ounce from Atkinsons. Beautiful coin still in original packaging. 
 
First lovely looking 2014 Brit from HGM. 
A sov and a couple halfs also in decent condition from HGM. 
 
Happy with these, iPhone 4 camera though ?

1/4 Sovereign for my fractional collection.  The relief is non-existent.  Think 2012.  They may as well have drawn it on.
Pic taken with Sov for comparison.  Came mint sealed and I'm undecided whether to open it up to put in a capsule to store with the others or just leave it as it is and be the odd ball.

Recent pick ups.

The elusive 2006 proof Britannia, been after this for a while.
That's the date set complete now, will post a pic when the 2016 arrives
