2017 Nations of the Crown Gold Proof £1 from @arshimo2012

Not the best picture because of the sleeves, but look what I got as a gift from my girlfriend! Added to my Dragon. Very happy with them, now the search continues to complet the set with the Lion and the Griffin(sold out at a lot of stores, or pay a mega premium)..
 
 

Few new arrivals today:
2017 1/2 Sov with 200 Privy

and Latest Queens Beast (which I really like, although some don't)
Silver:

Gold 1/4 Ounce:

On vacation in Germany in Munich - visited Degussa shop - picked up 3 items -

knock, knock, knock ... ahh, Mr. Postie, a pleasure to see you once again ... now hand over the goods and be on yer way !!!
A couple of humble coins that I just really liked and a big sovereign book from the royal mint ?
 

Mrs BYB and I bought some sovereigns for 97.65% of spot price - and they arrived already!
First time ever using BBP and it was because of a 15% eBay voucher!

Also, received two Gold Sovereigns from @TheCoinConnection, to add to my 2018 collection! Excellent service and superb condition Sovereigns!
A 2018 Celebration Gold Sovereign Struck on the Day HRH Prince George 5th Birthday plus COA having the printed “650” mintage error. Photos taken from two vantages to show off details.

And an awesome 2018 Piedfort Gold Sovereign Proof with an extremely low numbered COA. Photos taken from two vantages to show off details.

Received a diverse little bit of gold over the past couple of days...Two 1950 Saudi Arabia Gold One Guinea (AU/BU).


And a beautiful 2017 Mexico 1/2 oz Proof Gold Libertad with limited mintage of 700. Photos taken from two vantages to show off details.

Today I received 2 excellently made wooden boxes for the Marvel series and the Queens beast series from Alun on the silver forum. Highly recommend, they where shipped really quickly, reasonably priced and look great. Just need to collect all the coins now. 

Couldn't wait for postie to arrive today, I did a wee bit of spending over the last couple of days, here's the spoils ...
Big thanks to Goldmick for the 1/10oz Britannia Proof, I love it, so crisp, clean and cute.
I also couldn't resist another HGM bullion lucky dip, it's kind of addictive not knowing what you're going to get, very pleased with the delivery.
 

Not the best picture, as always but a great coin from @kneehow2018 and also a big thanks to the missus for an early 30th birthday treat ?

I haven't really bought anything since splashing out on the Star Wars statuettes back in April but after a few days of contemplation I decided to pickup the Cola coins in 1oz silver and 12g gold.  They don't look as good as the 6g coloured one but they're still nice.  The premium is a bit of a killer on them though
 

Just a little bit of table candy delivered today!
 

Queens beast ?
 

Back from grading my two standouts. Thanks to @Numistacker. The Sov is only one of 13 graded at PF 70 at NGC. Not too shoddy considering the COA was in the 9000's. Well done Royal Mint ?.

 

Got my coins back from Numistacker

Just got in from work to another 20oz of the shiny stuff, again courtesy of @kneehow2018. 

 

Also a 1989 Half Sovereign bought using the eBay 10% Discount.

20oz of the shiny stuff.  Thanks @kneehow2018

 

20 x Australia sovereigns

Coins back from grading ... not by @Numistacker but he gave me some help when I first started ❤️ 
These are not "worth" grading, I know. As far as investment or flipping. But I plan on passing my coin collection on to my nieces, so for them it's worth it.
I was hoping for better grades. I sent the coins in unopened Mint packaging. Probably would have been better to leave as is, but whatever. Fun
The 1976 Set is 40% silver. The 1992 Columbus $1 is 90% silver. The .50 is Cu/Ni. I also have a 1986 MS Eagle same grade, so now a nice pair.

Received an older date Gold Sovereign and reborn silver...
An 1825 George IV Gold Sovereign in great condition with a grade of AU58.

And five 2014 Great Britain 1/4 oz Silver Britannia SS Gairsoppa BU, added to my 2013s.

5 Sovereign, pleasant surprise delivery today from R Mint. I must admit this Sovereign is pretty awesome. I like the way they have given Pistrucci this recognition for his interpretation of the reverse. 

Group order coins plus my dinky roman silver coin. Slight size difference

Well finally arrived today.  It took a couple weeks longer then they expected to ship.  I think there were some casting difficulties.  Heads or Tales 30+ oz silver Britannia statue.  This thing is fantastic!  I love their products.
