Silvergun

So been waiting to post here until all coins have arrived throughout December/January  ect so here they all are! Enjoy  Also thanks to @Toshunya86 @terakris @augur @Shinus73For supplying such wonderful coins 

The first two coins to land through the door in 2020. First the replacement for my 2oz Silver Proof Una and the Lion. Original arrived damaged a little under a month ago but this one is thankfully perfect. The second a 2017 quarter proof Sovereign. This is the sort of coin I wouldn't ever claim to be a purchaser of but when the price is right...

My safe deposit box!

Vintage haul. Provenance, ex @ChrisG collection. 😀
 

Got 10 francs to start a year

1980 proof sovereign

Here comes the graded version. Awe-inspiring coin! The only problem is it's hard to photograph (updated with better lighting)...

 

Final bit of gold of the year 😊

I think this will be the coin I try my hand at cleaning for the first time, given it's purely bullion and a big coin seems like a good test subject. It could use a little TLC 😆 
This coin is very thin making it appear very large relative to it's actual weight. It weighs 13% less than two of the 1/4 oz coins combined, but appears similar in size to about 5-6 of them 😮 

Today I received.... Some date fillers for my 1817 - present date run!
 

Little bit of this months gold I have just purchased 🙂

I didn’t buy it today but I one an 1913-m Sovereign graded MS63 by NGC.
 

2003 1 oz Gold Proof Britannia. Last photo update 1 oz Gold Britannia coins still on the hunt 2001/2007 coins to complete seven set unique designs lady Britannia in 1 oz Gold.

Had to dig beneath the sofa and in car To put together my last change! Thank you @rob6

Three out of three from NGC (via Numi)...Huge relief! Nicely aligned in their slabs unlike another recent acquisition...

This beautiful coin arrived from America not long ago, It will have to go to NGC as I can’t live with the annoying alignment!

It was encapsulated several years ago apparently, so I am guessing this doesn’t / shouldn’t happen now!
If it cross grades the same,  it will be the second highest in the NGC registry, so well worth the effort and cost.

Honestly The East India Company does some nice coins. This “Shield Sov” is stunning, and the little details like the small George and Dragon by the date is awesome. 

Size difference is definitely noticeable, 19.3 mm of loveliness is the minimum I think.

Not all received today, but are being ‘shown today’ for the first time.
A few months ago, I fell for these ‘Sovereigns of South America’ (same size, weight etc as the British Sovereign), and started to hoover up as many as I could!
The more observant might have noticed a couple of them appearing on Numi videos recently (1917 and 1966). Lots more heading to NGC soon I hope😃!
Some of these ‘South American Sovereigns’ can have ridiculously low mintages (see numista) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces46644.html
but sell for reasonable prices 🤑...just got to love them 😀.
