Incredibly rare lunar S1  1/2 oz mouse proof with everything & S1 1/2 oz rooster proof, I already have both but without cases

Pulled the trigger tonight on an STG silver order:
Tube of 25 1 oz 2015 Canadian Maples (bullion - for the stack, at £12.63 each)
Tube of 20 1 oz 2015 Kookaburras (can't wait to see these, looks a great design, and the 25th anniversary etc)
Single 10 oz 2015 Koala and Kookaburras
Finally - a 1 kg Kookaburra. Call me crazy - but this looks so much more fun than a generic 1 kg bar, and the price is so much better!
That might be it for silver for 2015 now......apart from some shiny NZ collectors stuff that is on its way also!
Let's see if my timing was good or stupid...

Just ordered another 3 X 10oz pamps, so now have 6 in total.  Going to fill a box of 10 bars then back to gold buying.
 
Must not get distracted by the silver shiny metal

My 3 X 10oz Pamps arrived from Australia, or for delivery purposes my metallographic samples
 
Even with a crap paypal exchange rate worked out at £418 all in for the 3 bars inc. shipping, quite a saving over ebay/atkinsons's prices.
 

2oz Lunar proofs arrived from Silber-corner. The pic doesn't do them justice.

Last box containing some 10oz, 5oz, 2oz and 1/2oz.
That concludes the Lunars for now.
 
Looks like the Royal Mint are producing their literature in German as well.
 

All my Lunar orders just came in.  Contents of the 2 smaller parcels.
10oz Rabbit, 5oz Rabbit and Ox, 2oz Ox.  One of the dealers also had the Proof Maple in stock so bought one since I was already paying for postage.
 
Now back to unboxing and sorting out the kids.
 

Almost forgot to post in here. Today I bought a 1994 proof kookaburra set. Contains a 2oz and 1oz coin

Just 7 more Kooks to go.  I just checked my list and I can't believe I'm missing the 2013.  I need to physically check when I get chance.
I will be getting the other Scottsdale Stackers eventually.  I threw the 2oz in to maximise on postage for the shipping band.
 
Tomorrow should be an eventful day.  At least 3 of my 4 orders of Lunars should be arriving.

Cool My 2 Ounce proof set just arrived

Just received a parcel from my friend Mbikez
Kookaburra 1991 1992 1993 1996
Lunar snake 2001

2012 High relief kookaburra

Nice purchase!

I blame MB for turning us all into collectors

I'm afraid I just couldn't resist it and bought one yesterday, officially skint now.
I was surprised how reasonable they are, when I fist saw Chris's photo I assumed they'd cost more.
This forum definitely is bad for my financial health!

Today I bought 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Pandas.

This panda date run is getting expensive now, but I'm going all the way baby [emoji1]

1999 10 oz proof & Bu Kook 2 coin set.  I've been looking for a 1999 10 oz proof kook for ages

Just bought the Perth Mint 2oz lunar series 2 proof set from Silber.corner.... So it's bread and jam for the next month, lol. I think this great forum should come with a health (wealth) warning.. :)
