  1. Started seriously stacking/collecting gold just over 3 years ago and breached the 1KG level late last year. The forum has been a massive part of this journey, @ChrisSilver I thank you for creating the community and the work you put in daily to cultivating a thriving environment, long may it continue. Started with silver, then moved onto bullion gold and proof coins thereafter. There's also a bunch of others to thank for the help, guidance, advice, encouragement and inspiration to make it to this point (I'm sure I've left out a load of other peeps): @Clockpuncher @Abyss @SilverMike @richatthecroft @Jaconet @Roy @Elements @Spectre77 @BarryWoods @Alun @Tn21 @James32 @cliveb13 @sovereignsteve @DevonNumismatic @Spence098 @StackSellRepeat @1stsovereign @LiquidMetalsUK @CadmiumGreen @1817Karl @AndrewSL76 @Sparrowlegs4 @Shinus73 @terakris @kneehow2018 @Neelam @Stuntman @dicker @jultorsk @DynamitesUK @BackyardBullion @Spanishsilver @Stu @Paul @PapaLazarou @CoinStruck @westminstrel @trozau @DarkChameleon @Britannia47 @Petra @foinikas @Pete @RDHC With the lovely weather of the bank holiday weekend I felt like sharing my collection so here it is. I took a load of pretty pics before putting everything back in lock up. I think I've accumulated a decent collection. I have a few outliers that I'll most probably sell on the forum at some point which are not part of below so keep a look out. I also may part with the bullion Britannia set (feel free to drop me a message if you're interested). What next? I feel I have enough from an investment portfolio for now but I may start to pick up a few key older sovs, we'll see. Let me know what you think and thanks to you all again: ________________________________________ The 12 bullion special design Britannia's, available for one year only The 4 Philip Nathan special design 1oz Britannia's + 2014 Jody Clark 1oz Britannia all PF70 The 10 modern sovereign special designs available for one year only all PF 70 The 1989, 2012, 2016, 2022 and 2023 sovereign sets all in PF70 The 3 special design Strike on the day Sovereigns (2017, 2022 and 2023) all in MS70 The 3 Royal Mint limited edition special release Royal Mint coins (After the silent auction debacle I will give the 2023 matte proof set a miss) 2021 2oz Queens Beast Completer PF70 (my prized possession 😍) 2022 Piedfort Pattern Platinum Jubilee Plain Edged Sovereign PF70 2023 2oz King Charles Coronation PF70 MATTE

  19. 2017 1/50th ounce proof Krugerrand - PF70 UCAM Thanks to @ZRPMs. Purchased to both break my personal record for the smallest coin in my collection, and as a photography challenge. I've used the microscope to take these pics, since as you can see, the coin is less than 10mm diameter. I will try with the macro SLR rig some time this week, to see if I can a more arty picture. Remarkable a coin this size can be created at all, let alone it achieve the highest grade.

  21. Latest 2024 gold proof Brits. This year's design is a lot nicer than last year's carbuncle where Britannia resembled an old hag. Couple of coins were still in their capsules when I took the photos (the foam inserts are a nuisance). I'll have these graded by Dave soon.

  31. Been after a George III sovereign in a reasonable condition for a little while and was delighted to be able to pick up this XF40. I am just trying to decide whether to release it from the slab. Would really like a William IV sovereign in an extremely fine condition (doesn’t need to be slabbed) as well but you don’t see many at a reasonable price.

  46. Elephant and Roo Addenda The 1/10 2024 Somalia Elephant is the 9th overpriced member of the series. Also making an overdue appearance was my 71st RAM silver 1oz $1 Skippy - the 1999 Y2K Privy, a coin of which I was totally unaware until last year. I'm unconvinced that this version is officially recognized by the RAM, but the price from Germany was friendly. Only two members of the official set were minted with a privy, the "F15" and "25", both in 2018, the Roo's 25th anniversary. The 2010 Somalia Heffer "Mule" has the 2009 reverse and was swiftly replaced with the new/correct 2010 motif by the Bavarian State Mint. My appreciation to rumrunner @arphethean for arranging the delivery from Germany.

  48. Received my beautiful new addition to the Nautical series, the new 2023, courtesy of Silver Trader. Could not agree more with @AgD absolutely stunning series. Although I've still not plucked up the courage to take them out of their OMP! Wish the 2017 packaging didn't have that orange peel textured finish to it though. Hmmmm still can't pick my favourite one.....maybe the Mayflower or perhaps the USS Constitution 🤔
