These have just been delivered by the postie.

Wasn't sure what to do with my 2oz Tudor Beasts Lion Proof, as it doesn't really fit in with my stack... 🤔
Soooo, decided to submit it for grading through our own @GoldDiggerDave's excellent submission services, and had it back yesterday - Chuffed with the result! 😁 and here it is!
(...and if anyone is interested, it will be appearing in the For Sale section over the weekend 😉)

Today I received a lovely package from BYB.  I'm bias, but what a gorgeous thing!
Massive thank you to BYB for all your hard work. 

The 250g to go alongside the 5oz I picked up last week 

Thanks to @Orpster for the half sovereign. It may be bent but it has character!
Also received a Vatican City jubilee year 100 Lire coin today (8.8 grams and only 23,000 minted).

News Flash!  Golddiggerdave buys silver! 
10 milky Maples just want I wanted!  (I’ll show you my miracle work later) 
thanks to @Silverlocks great price and fast delivery! 
 
 

Nice trade with @James32, a tube of Tudor Beast Lion of England. 

Some exciting finds within a lot of "pre-1947 50% silver coins"!

This arrived today. These are my record shots before i send it away to @GoldDiggerDave for some conservation and grading. There wasn't too many half sovereigns from this year, so worth preserving. 

Two coins received today 
The stunning 2106 butler portrait and the 1982 year of birth proof MS70s
The butler is simply sublime and for me the definitive portrait of her majesty 

Haven’t been sharing for a while, Hope this makes up for it…. Not really bullion but definitely an form of art & lust.
 
1977 Peep-Hole hand painted detail I’m really chuffed 🤩
 
 

Thought I'd have a little bit of fun with this one and do a selfie.
Specials thanks to @Lucylucy for helping me complete my 10oz QBs.  I don't think I'm going to be able to take a photo of all three sets together (2oz, 10oz & 1/4oz).

I am reliably informed (by the internet) that a group of dragons is called a "thunder".
The three on the right arrived in the last week.  Of all the QBs, I have the most different types of the dragon.

Third crown in my collection, courtesy of @richatthecroft.
Thank you so much, beautiful piece and very much meets my expectations.
I intend to extend the collection to include more crowns back to George III.
New one is the young head. 

And my first real foray into numismatics - a set of Royal Mint Legends: Robin Hood, Maid Marian and Little John.

I did promise myself not to get into numismatics.  I haven't bought any proof coins yet.  Honest.

Got this today, actually arrived Saturday, but missed the postman so had to pick it up today. No matter what a lot of people think, I like these!😁🥳

My first foray into sovereigns - there are many like them but these two are mine.

Ordered this bullion sovereign 2022 earlier this month to complete my 2022 sovereign collection (Proof, SoTD & Bullion). Now, the sovereign 2022 design signifies more than just the Jubilee celebration, but also a respected Sovereign.

The Royal Australian Mint and Australia Post have started the DINO coin hunt this month with four $1 coins coming into circulation each featuring a different Australian dinosaur. There was a silver proof set issued for these coins, mintage of 1,000.

Local jeweller find this afternoon

Like pretty much everyone recently its been mostly gold for a while in the shape of 2022 sovs of all shapes and sizes, but silver will always be my first love, so got these today.

A pair of very keenly priced krugs from @Prodigy, a 2004 Brit which leaves me 5 short of the full date run and a 2017 Nations of the crown proof.
The krugs go into the tube, I quite enjoy filling a tube in installments - as long as the price is right...
@matt1r - I have a couple of 2020s if you are still looking...

And the 2017 pound goes with the 2016 Last Round Pound proof, as nice pair marking the transition I think.

Another full and half 2022 sovereign for the stash, thank you Ms Postie for showing up earlier than I expected

Bale of Yeaufort arrived with another lion so it didn't get lonely in the post. Hopefully @DrDave buys one too then we can see a better photo 🤣

Double sovereign for my retirement stack just arrived. Thanks go to @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer
