11 2021 QB White Greyhound.  Probably the most satisfying and enjoyable bullion series I've followed.

2012 sovereign for the collection.

Not the finest example you’ll ever see but good enough for me at a sensible price 🙂 great weekend all 👍
Edit: any of the resident experts tell me if that is an open or closed 2? update: Open 2  - thank you
 
 

I didn’t receive these today but very recently.
Silver flatware can be a real bargain for those looking to stack silver for weight.
Three Victorian silver spoons, hallmarked 1853, weighing over 60g for 10% under spot.
They might not be anything special but they’re full of almost 170 years of history and they’re silver!!

Along with many others, I’m sure. The final Beastie. Thanks to @kneehow2018for the Griffin and @richatthecroftfor the Lion. Box also from Kneehow but originally from @AlunI suspect. 

Auctioneers are lazy and extremely greedy.  
Not only do they provide poor advice to their ignorant vendors that some coins would be better sold elsewhere due to the Auction house inordinate two way commission charges- this exemplified by them frequently selling single lots of run of the mill Sovereigns- they often don't serve their vendors well, signposting the ignorant Sovereign vendor to the first Gold buying shark they see on the high street would show much more integrity. 
And then we have this type of scenario, they clearly often don't have the decency to appraise the lots they are selling.  You would like to think that with them charging huge commission rates each way, they would at least examine what they are selling or moreover, employ someone with some knowledge of what they are selling- Its an absolute scandal that they get away with this type of practice, particularly when its so obvious that those coins you received were fakes.  Indefensible.

Also received these coins (not fakes!). Nice big lump of early belgian silver in a fantastic grade with with plenty of obverse detail and a 1886 maundy 4d groat. This is not something I collect so I have put it up for auction elsewhere. With a mintage of just 6,785 I have to say I am surprised at how cheap these maundy pieces go! I would have thought more people would collect them! This one has beautiful toning which isnt really captured but has a reddish/ rainbow hue to it and lovely symetrical toning.

You'll get milk spots!

A man after my own heart  
Nothing beats finding silver under spot, plus you can have a few minutes of fun researching hallmarks as well.
Easy to store, therapeutic to clean, (i love getting tarnished flatware so I can make it shine as the silversmith intended), and unlike a bullion coin you can eat your weetabix with them

Some nice bits thanks to @LawrenceChard 2012 full sovereign, imo possibly good enough to grade?
