Todays visit to my local coin shop was productive but I have come home with coins that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.  

I intended all along to buy the two 1/10 Britannia and I now have a mini run- 2001 through to 2007 of these Proofs.  I was pleased he also happened to have a 2013 Proof Twentieth for sale also.  I have @JohnAnsink to thank?  for his inspirational post this morning of the Fiji Dollar bottle top and its low mintage, it was sat right there on the counter in front of me, so I impulsively bought it.  To finish off this eclectic mix,  a couple of Farthings!  Think I need to re-focus.

It’s on the obverse, behind Queen’s head, looks like a letter I (or Z maybe). Next the “gratia”.

Also, some under her chin and possibly cleaned, but apart from all that...we’re good?

Shame, because otherwise it has great detail...in a good way.

You've far too much money, and more importantly, sovereigns, and I hate you!

[Micky9776]

3 more full sovereigns added to the date run today, 1903 London, 1904 Melbourne and a 1905 Perth. It's my first Perth mint sov so I'm very happy with that, only a Sydney and SA to complete the mint set and I only need a 1902 and 1909 to complete the Edward set.

An absolutely lovely delivery from @BackyardBullion - one of the first issue of the 250g forum bars

A stunning piece. It has a glorious heft to it and is just so tactile. The ripples on it are amazing and really I'm amazed that he has managed this pouring by eye. Alas I don't have the video/photo kit needed to do this justice in the way light plays on (and off) this in the most glorious way, so I'll have to use the 'official' photo, but you really have to see this beautiful piece in hand to properly appreciate it. It has such a lovely 'well' of ripples at the top that make holding and playing with it, with a perfect groove for your thumb, as good as any stress reliever - it is just such a pleasure to hold (and behold).

Top work BYB, and thank you!

I wasn't aware that the Royal Mint makes rounds on their own account? They are definitely not on their UK bullion site.

Those are sold out I believe, but on eBay quite often.
