I understand why people aren't to keep on the sheep's design but I really like them, and yes they're so much better in hand though I do wish they had left the trees in, the picture of the proof that MZ posted looks great.

I had no idea, I always thought a flock had to have wings, and it makes me wonder why a shepherd isn't called a shepflock? something's gone wrong somewhere 

yesterday I received 11 2oz horses, 1 10oz horse, my first legit panda and a herd of sheep.

Last week received a couple of the 5oz silver proof ultra-high relief/piedfort American Bald Eagle (mintage 1500) from Talisman Coins...

"This noble bald eagle is struck in ultra high, medallic relief, with a frosted cameo proof finish, and is a piedfort (extra-thick coin), measuring a substantial 12.50 (1/2 inch!!!) mm thick!"

Pictured also is a 1 oz silver proof Chinggis Khaan (Mintage 1000).

2014 NIUE (New Zealand Mint) 1 oz Silver Proof Black Rhinocerous  (Mintage 2000) from SilverTowne.
 
Pretty stoked myself to receive  after having come across an  unboxing video, the link to which I am unable to post today for some reason.( Just type into GOOGLE: black rhinocerous unboxing, and it should be the first thing that pops up (video by Angel SilverFourtySeven fast-forward to ~03:15). It actually comes in a very cool "crate" as a box, with magnets attaching the lid

2015 Royal Mint Lunar year of the sheep 1oz proof

I got itchy fingers this morning  and made a purchase of some SBSS products  having  bought two each of the : 
 
1 oz 2014 Don't Tread on Me Silver Proof-like
 
1 oz 2014 Standing Freedom Silver Proof-like
 
1 oz 2014 Liberty or Death Silver Proof-like Round
 
1 oz 2013 Sic Semper Tyrannis Silver Proof-like Round (Mintage 3250)
 
1 oz 2013 Argyraspides Silver Proof-like Round (Mintage 2850)
 
 
I realize that they made go the way of the various "Art Rounds" in the future, in terms of losing their current numismatic premium, but I like them.
I don't like many of their other rounds (ie Bankster) which appear cartoonish to me.
In any event, silver only needs to go to $44/oz CDN for me to "break-even" on the all-in cost (S+H and Paypal fees), and I am certain that I will be keeping at least one of each of the two , for the  longterm .
 
By the way, I came across this video by Chris Duane this a.m.

 
Note: Video is essentially a sales pitch for his products, but it seems to have worked on me..

Tuvalu 2014 Hades 2 oz Silver Coin

Had the last of STG 2oz horses which added up to 11, also a 10oz horse and a 2014 panda.

Lets get back to monitoring spot price chaps!
 
£10.65. Slowly slowly sneaking it's way up again. I still think we are at the bottom now. Whether it is last week, this week, or next week, the bottom is upon us! lol
