Two 2021 Niue 1 oz Silver Mandalorian Beskar Bars. Was five, but sold three before posting.

From a friend of a friend.....who lives in Mexico

3rd Royal Mint delivery of the week. Took the plunge. One for the future. They look great side by side. Off to grading they go!

And my 3rd purchase this week which complements my earlier purchase nicely was one I’ve wanted for a while. Picked it up in the @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. Shout out to @Clockpuncher and @Elements for alerting me to its availability. Definitely my new favourite coin in my collection and quite possibly the best sovereign ever. I think its only right I get the 2SOV to keep them company no?

2nd arrival of 3 this week, I need to slow down! I have one of these but couldn’t resist. Quite possibly the best sovereign design of all time. Shout out to @anthonys100 for this one

I feel extremely fortunate to have been Graced the opportunity to acquire this wonderful and iconic Sovereign.  
Thank you @SilverMike, @Elements & @Roy for the advice, help and support in making the investment.  


 

Picked up the silver version of the 225th anniversary Lady Liberty in SP(ecial)70 to go with her big sister 😊.
 
You don’t see the SP designation used too often and is for coins that are better than a MS strike, but without the polished proof fields. This has an enhanced finish. Curious to know why NGC or PCGS do not use the SP designation for Brilliant Uncirculated strikes. They are most definitely better that standard bullion strikes but not quite as good as proof strikes which would make sense in my layman brain 🧠 

Over the weekend I got my first platinum coins! Two 2017 Quarter Ounce Proof Britannia courtesy of the Britannia Coin Company! They're quite nice and very different from other Brit designs - not sure the pictures do them justice. They are slightly smaller than a gold quarter ounce due to the difference in metal density. 

Went searching for a 2003 Proof Brit and ended up with these - 6 x 1/2oz satin proofs all dated 2007.  
Closeups, satin finishes and noob photography skills do make them look super toned but they're all as clean as whistles - most pleased!
All down to a near 25% contribution courtesy of @BullionBob and the Xmas raffle 🤩
Thanks Bob for this and @trp for taking over the raffling business from the aforementioned BB!
 

One from @TheCoinCabinet auction. One of my favourite Britannia designs
 

Like a few others, took advantage of the RM 50% off Black Friday deal.

Thanks to @SilverMike for this one. These don’t come up for sale often so happy to get me hands on them. Most definitely going in the long term collection

Picked this set up from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer. I’m currently collecting the 1oz special reverse gold Britannia years in bullion grade but when it came to the 2005 it was proving rather difficult to find. With the help of @Roy (thanks!) I discovered that there were in fact no bullion gold Britannia’s issued by the Royal Mint in 2005, just the proof and it was a special reverse design year. The 1/4 and 1/10 proofs were made available individually but the 1/2 and 1oz were only available in the set, 1439 made so I took the plunge! Think I’ll have them graded and see how they get on

2012 5sov PR70 just back from grading 😍
 

Unexpected purchase
