Re: Coins
The latest addition to my collection is the just released 2018 BUC £5 'Lion of England' coin.
It was released on pre-order during the World Cup - no doubt in the belief/hope that England would win.

Re: Coins
I bought a couple of 'new' coin sets this last week, although not current issues.
The first is a proof set of the last issue of the pre-decimal '£sd' UK coinage of 1970.
The second is a seven-coin set issued to commemorate the 80th birthday of
Her Majesty The Queen Mother on 4th August 1980. These are all Crown coins in the
base metal Copper-Nickel from the UK and six other British dependencies with the
exception of one which is a $10 Silver coin of Tuvalu.
The 1970 set was a straight purchase at a very reasonable price from a source on eBay.
However, the other set I made a bid for from the same source in an eBay auction, the
first time I have ever used this method to buy anything and was pleasantly surprised
to be the winner at under £10, for which there were 12 bids in all.
