Well I haven't bought a coin in a very long time and saw this going cheap on FleaBay last weekend. I am not exactly sure what it's actually worth beyond it's intrinsic value (any guesses?) but It's my first ever silver coin! Gotta watch out I hear that it's a slippery slope from here.

This is a nice example of a King Charles III 2022 - Her Majesty the Queen 1oz silver proof £2 coin...

It is a truly beautiful piece and  goes very nicely with my smaller gold proof quarter oz £25 coin in the series.

Picked up this 2002 proof double sovereign from my favourite bullion dealer in town just now. All marks are on the capsule.

I have this exact same coin although I had to crack it out of a PF-69 tablet and put it back into a capsule and RM box, I wondered what the original box looked like, I have one of the newer mahogany boxes for mine. It's a really nice coin, I usually have this one on display the most.

Another mini for the collection.

Funny enough I was thinking of getting an original box and capsule for this but not sure what one looks like for this year.

I'd say so, or it could of more likely came from a three coin set.

The box mine came with was from the Bradford exchange. Would prefer an original box for it.

You might be able to get a 3 or 5 coin original box, but getting one might be like finding a needle in a hay stack. Then once you have the box can hunt down the remaining 2 or 4 to remake the set. 😉

Just kidding but it's the kinda thing I would do.

Sounds like a plan but my missus would batter me.

Tell her the following. It's guaranteed to work and provides a quiet life.

Step 1 : oye ho, I'm the boss.

Step 2: keep your voice down or Bitches get stitches. 

Step 3: take your coin and find a suitable place to live.

terrible I thought we were on the hangout thingy.

If I show her this you'll need treetop as a bodyguard & I'd still get battered.

A recent ancient 27mm pick up dated 336-323 BC that I'm sure to enjoy features Alexander The Great

wearing a lionskin head dress on the Obverse and a depiction of Zeus seated, scepter in left hand and Eagle

in right hand on the reverse. Looking forward to liberating it from that 2"x2" and switching into a nice

floating display I have coming. Certainly better displayed than in that cardboard holder.

A beautiful coin, I love the image of Zeus on the reverse 🌞
