Half sovs just arrived from HGM, George V 1925 and Liz 1982, very pleased with the condition. Couldn't believe how excited I was opening the package and wondering what I had been sent. Apologies for the crappy camera. My first gold.
 

Received over the last week - from different sellers: proof Britannias from 2011, 2013 and the much maligned 2017.  Wanted to work back from the iconic 2014 design.  Must say I love the 2011 almost as much as the 2014.  The 2013 is a tough one to get in good condition in that shiny big field - so quite happy with that one. Each one for less than the £85 that the RM sell them for so good bargains can still be found on eBay.  
Then two nice florins - 1929 and 1931 as I am trying to get all the George V dates.  Love the proportions and design of this beautiful old coin.  

More 2017 sovereigns for my tube. Need to crack on with only 2 months of the year remaining.

Today I received...
2017 Silver libertad proof coins. 
From 2oz to 1/20oz. 
Together with the 5oz coin from last time, now I have the whole variety of libertad silver proof coins of 2017. 

35 Edward sovs to get the run started, this part will be easy. 95% of coins are in extremely good grade which makes things a lot easier also!


 

A bit of gold porn, the bars are starting to arrive (from Canada).
Due to shipping insurance limits they ship each bar individually and 2 packages at a time.
I have another 2 bars due for delivery tomorrow then another 4 bars to come soon.
Would be cool if I end up with 9 different mints
Also got a peli case so when all the bars arrive I can pop out the foam squares to fit the bars correctly.
