My first ever 2018 India Sovereign.
 
 

A nice 1856 Shield Back,
This may be a candidate for my first attempt at grading, but still not sure if its good enough?

Got a few packages today. 
- A couple of 2011 britannias from Westminster,  complete with a Westminster CofA and capsules:


 
- 2 tenth ounce gold britannias from Westminster, complete with drawstring bag (not as nice as BYB's mind) and still in omp:
 


 
- A Germania and Dutch thingymijig from Martin @ silver trader, compete with capsules and free magnet (I couldn't work out why my invoice was sticking to my scissors to begin with)... really like the scratch-effect background on the germania coin:
 


 
- My cupro nickel snowmen, complete with free royal mint 2017 Christmas tree coin:
 

The 2018 Royal Mint Advent Calendar, The Nutcracker...with Gold Sovereigns, look to be more £5 sized which is even better! OK, so they are chocolate Gold Sovereigns. 😁

Also, perhaps along the festive season, Christmas, and The Nutcracker...a 1989 Palladium Russian Ballerina! Very nice first in diversifying PMs!

Someone offered the above at spot +3% I would buy without hesitation because of number of QBs for sale. New seller or don’t have enough feedback @BackyardBullion offers intermediary service. As for @Glorfindel nobody knows the future and you maybe right to liquidate your position (most likely got better liquidation price on the Silver forums than a dealer). 
My stack PMs going used for one of two purposes.
Pass on as inheritance to my son or convert into another asset type (rental properties) if/when circumstances right in my lifetime.
This posts raises some interesting concerns and fears that are within everyone who has purchased PMs (including myself) have we made a bad decision? From current Gold spot price if it was to fall further 10-40% there would a lot individuals who would experience the same anxiety and fears as @Glorfindel. 
I am in Dubai on annual leave just now but before I left spoken senior ICICI life insurance people managing funds for NRIs (Non Residential Indians) in India and asked wanted anything from UK/Dubai and they stated just bring as much gold as you can 😁 (I was referring to sweets/chocolates). Go from on country to another swooping one piece of paper for another but Gold espically in Asia is viewed as real tangible wealth.
