He will be the half sov king soon,Guess it's alittle different to collect half sovs rather then full like everyone else.Plus will always be able to sell on,as not everyone can afford full sovs.

I will make no secret of the fact that I prefer quantity!

As long as I can get them at +3% (or less) I will keep getting them.

[Ansel]

Three Vicky young head G&D from Baird.

Just won a 2002 proof half sovereign on an auction site, looks good in the photos, seller said it's good, just keeping it all crossed that it is.

It will fit in nice with the 2 half sovs I got during the week. Lovely jubbly!

I've ordered a 300 gram kit kat bar from Backyard Bullion through his Instagram page

[Silvergun]

The Platinum Wedding Anniversary 2017 Strike On The Day Sovereign from the Royal Mint using my interest free payment account , that's my 2017  sovereign set complete . . just hope its in good condition

A bit of a long winded one with a bargain at the end.

I spotted a "Centenary of Winston Churchill - This Was Their Finest Hour" Gold 2 X Medallion Set by Christopher Ironside on ebay @ £570

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/centenary-of-winston-churchills-birth-two-coin-set-21-carat-gold/183029671894?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

 

Coin details : 1 X 17.5g + 1 X 3.5g made from 900 gold (stamped on the coins too) so fine weight = 18.9g, however as they are produced outside the UK they are listed as 18ct.

After a little searching for a price check I notice Chards had a 2 coin set and a 3 coin set listed as 18ct.

So basically got the the two sets with a fine weight of 2.66oz for a total of £1.72 over spot for the lot

1902 Matte Proof Half Sovereign, PR62.

I think I need to sit on my hands now, until Spring.

[Ansel]

2005 bullion sov from HGM. I have been after one for a few months but kept just missing out, finally I was in the right place at the right time. 

[mr-dead]

Update on my Chards order, they rang me this afternoon saying the site had not been updated and the Churchill medals are no longer available.

Should have stuck to Hatton garden metals lol.
