Loving my Piedfort sovereign its stunning , but not happy with my second offering from the mint a Queens beast 1oz proof Lion that's going back along with the Unicorn no more proof silver from RM for me.

Common date, but normally well out of my price range. I had a splurge!

You sure can!

No. 22 arrived safely yesterday, great job @BackyardBullion
Can I reserve #22 for the next release? ? 

Today I received a little bar from BYB, great job?
Look forward to the 100g bars coming out.

A couple of coins from the DNW auction last week.
1817 G3 Halfcrown
and a 1872 QV Gothic Florin

1779 guinea. Paid too much but it's the year my family bought our farm and it seemed an omen 

Pair of gold 1/4 proof unicorn
 

 


 

Krugs arrived from Hatton Garden,
4 X 1974 + 1 X 1975 (My birth year)
Waiting on my Atkinsons + Royal Mint order now.

Back to coins....
Some old gold and some new, some platinum and silver too?. 
A few gold quarter ounce QB Dragons/Griffins and 2016 Libertad proofs  (some for members on the Forum), along with a 2016 Perth mint sovereign. Will think about grading some of them in pursuit of 70s! Another ounce of Pt - this time the 2016 Austrian Philharmoniker, which I bought actually right on the price dip in early January....so well pleased with that, and a nice big coin.
Then silver - a stackers tube of 10 QB dragons, plus a few extras for capsules of the dragon and Griffin, and a slabbed Dragon.  Happy to report that no milky ones in the tube (I checked!). Shelled out the cash for a silver PF70 QB Lion one ounce proof, and a few more in boxes -  now I see why everyone goes gaga over this proof design ?. Some more irresistible 2016 Libertad silver proofs, and a few 2017 kooks (1 ouncers and a doorstop 10 ounce) and 2017 Britannias for good measure when the silver price dipped. 
The old gold: "mission accomplished" on the sovereign mintmark set as I just found a nice Ottawa C 1911 sov to complete the set. The Bombay I 1918 I picked up last week made me focus on that missing Canada one?!  1911 C by far the most common of the Canada years (1908-1919), but at 257,048 minted that is still a pretty low % out of the 40 million minted worldwide that year (numbers from goldsovereigns.co.uk). Got it along with a very nice 1912 London sovereign, and a 20 francs 1897 Lucky Angel.
Lindeman. 

Today my half sovereign and Perth Mint silver swan arrived.

Mine too ?

Mine too ?

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

Well I have broken my "sovereigns only" rule for my current stack.
Buying all sovs and just sticking them in tubes may be a sensible approach but it got so boring.
 
Just ordered these 3 up from Baird, at £1000 a coin seems like a bargain :

The Beasts so far in yellow metal

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 ?.

Nice pickup of shields, nom nom. All in really nice condition



 
Are double strikes common? ping @sovereignsteve

The showcase of my sovereign collection arrived last week - Late to game but still in it.

1817 Full Sov
well worth the wait  

I'll take No. 22 if still available please.
 If not any number. Thanks
