1 Escudos cob just arrived from France.
Gold 1 Escudos cob type (hammered coin)
King Phillip II.
Dated 1556 to 1598
Weight:  3.37 g
diameter:  18 mm
Now have the full set (1 Escudo, doubloon & Double Doubloon), just need to get another stand and dome for it.

3 more full sovereigns added to the date run today, 1903 London, 1904 Melbourne and a 1905 Perth. It's my first Perth mint sov so I'm very happy with that, only a Sydney and SA to complete the mint set and I only need a 1902 and 1909 to complete the Edward set.

Todays visit to my local coin shop was productive but I have come home with coins that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.  
I intended all along to buy the two 1/10 Britannia and I now have a mini run- 2001 through to 2007 of these Proofs.  I was pleased he also happened to have a 2013 Proof Twentieth for sale also.  I have @JohnAnsink to thank?  for his inspirational post this morning of the Fiji Dollar bottle top and its low mintage, it was sat right there on the counter in front of me, so I impulsively bought it.  To finish off this eclectic mix,  a couple of Farthings!  Think I need to re-focus. 

Another from eBay, bought and delivered by a local, had a nice chat and coffee. Cost £125 and the coffee.
I knew about the damage, but was happy to live with it.

another half 2005, to go with another half and full all proof, not sure why I have this fascination with 2005 same with 2012 probably as they are one off designs and seem to be steadily rising in proof /graded form ?if nothing else its a addition to the stack

Two mirrored hearts from @BackyardBullion

1885 half sovereign, my first young head.
She's a bit marked but not worn too flat... which is nice.
 

Don't think I could ever tire of Rocking Horse Crowns.  Also been into town today to the optician for new spectacles to allow a good look at these 1/40 Britannia Proofs!  Thank you @arshimo2012 for another lightening fast delivery.  


 

I think this is a good buy for just under £1000

This 1825 George 1V Gold Sovereign arrived today. Really nice coin.

Received this today.  At first I was a bit underwhelmed, but the more i hold it, the more it’s growing on me ?.
