There seems to be quite a few collectors of top grade British and French coins in Japan, most coins seem to have been bought from the main US auctions at some point - so the shilling is even more well travelled!

purchased or graded yourself?

The ones I listed are all purchased from various Auction's, Fair's and Dealer's. They were all purchased "Slabbed". Striving to upgrade my collection and finding good "raw" coins is not so easy. Bought a few "raw" from the Baldwins Auction - Wander Collection and we will see how they grade.

It's getting more difficult to get good quality coins at the right price - still managing to fill a few gaps though.

I would say that 80% of my "keepers" plus are graded now. I only grade decent or extremely rare coins. I'll put up a few pictures when I get time.

Not received all my 1oz Gold Queens Beasts Coins yet, 10x Falcons and 10x Bull delivered end of the week, 2x Lions also in the post working deal for 1 more. It will be a bit of a shame when I have put all these coins in tubes and put them into safety deposit locker for safe keeping.

That reminds me of a delivery by Yodel we had at work this week.  It was a box of printer paper and the outside box was completely torn open at one end - literally the whole end of the box was flapping loose and you could see the contents.  I could see the paper inside looked ok on that edge (and it was only printer paper!) but I still wrote a note on the PDA when I signed that said "box damaged" just in case.  The Yodel driver took great offence to this and said "Its not damaged, its just open slightly"   That is just one example why we don't use Yodel to deliver anything!

No issues on this occasion, purchased from the US so has been opened as it went through GSP and was repackaged.........the driver seemed shocked/horrified when I said his name! He was like "how do you know my name?" and I replied "the tracking?" "oh yes" he replied 😛

My first pre-graded gold purchase (does this make me a collector?) and a couple of snowmen.

[terakris]

Got a couple of snowmen today.

[richatthecroft]

Start of a new side project, a date run of Proof Half Sovereigns commencing 2000 onwards.  I already have Graded 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012 & 2017 so these three a nice addition. Longer term plan to collect 1980 onward and to grade the lot.
