Joining the crowd and getting hold of a new Greyhound.  Say what you like about the QB range, they are really VERY satisfying coins to own.  The detailing of the minting and the chunky 2oz thickness make this a thing of joy!  Thanks to @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer.  I do need to get myself a "feeler" QB just to keep in my pocket....

2000 RAM Silver Proof 1oz $1 Kangaroo   A lovely example of this coin from a maximum mintage of 9,972.   This particular design, the first of three by Vladimir Gottwald, depicts a kangaroo leaping across a recessed silhouette of Australia.   The corresponding frostie from the same year is shown for comparison in the lower photographs. A clear win for the proof imo.     

To do a coin itll start as a clay model then a plaster cast of the original will create the negative then they will make copies of or the cast out of what ever material they use for the final mould to cast th coins

Really beautiful photos!  The super macro shots really show off the detailed craftsmanship.  I can't imagine how they sculpt the dies for these coins.  Amazing... Thanks for posting.

The 1998 RAM Silver Proof $1 1oz Kangaroo   Following the introduction of the BU silver "Frosties" in 1993, the RAM started the set of corresponding proof roos with this coin. The design changes with each year and both formats have been produced ever since.    Despite the recent climb in silver prices, the steep issue prices from the RAM means that these beautiful proof versions are, even now, still changing hands at prices near their lows in Australia.   Photos courtesy of maestro @CadmiumGreen®   Having started this collection only recently, I still require over half the proofs and would welcome PMs if you have any to swap or trade.  

Chuffed to bits.  Cant stop looking at this beautiful coin and seeing how the light plays on the surface.  Just a lovely day to collect silver just for the hell of it.  Many thanks @PapaLazarou for such a totally perfect specimen.

Beautiful, are you displaying them all together or leaving them in the boxes? I put mine in a large Lighthouse case with twenty-four coins on each tray, placing them in chronological order (obviously) and leaving gaps for ones I didn’t have. I found that the gaps really bugged me and made me buy more often than I would otherwise have done. 
Funnily enough I had this delivered yesterday- only a tiddler (1/5th oz) but nice nontheless. 

2012 Silver Proof Mareeba Rock Wallaby   Another beautiful design from the RAM in its $1 Silver Kangaroo collection,  engraved by Wojciech Pietranik, most famous for his Sunset Roo designs. The quality of the strike and design have been adroitly capturedby TSF's premier photograher, @CadmiumGreen.

2008 Icons of the Commonwealth   All attempts to purchase a gold "Kangaroo at Sunset" with anything except an outrageously high premium are, I have come to learn, utterly futile. I was, therefore, more than a little delighted when a backdoor to ownership presented itself at a small "Tribal Arts" auction in the form of this attractive numismatic triad. The Sunset's engraver, Wojciech Pietranik, whose stylized monogram can be seen just below the horizon, designed, in my opinion, a remarkably simple but breathtakingly beautiful coin.  A proof Royal Mint Sovereign and an RCM Maple complete the set.




 

Awesome item arrived today as well. 
A rather unusual one.

Bermuda Triangle 5oz 9 dollar silver proof. Only 1000 minted.

Not strictly a triangle of course, but a Reuleaux triangle, so has a constant diameter, rather like a 50p coin but with only 3 sides. Hence 9 dollars face value, not 10. The whole series is in multiples of three. There is also a 1oz silver coin with $3 face value, a 1oz gold coin with 60 dollar face value and even a FIVE OUNCE GOLD coin with 180 dollar face value! Why they didn't put 360 dollars on it I don't know. That would seem the obvious choice.
Sadly it was tarnished but a quick procedure amended that.
Before :

and after. A little chemical magic and it's like new again.
