20oz of Perth's finest
 

 

 
I unwrapped the kook first and was disappointed with the size! The horse felt bigger though which made up for it
 
The detail is incredible on these, there are contours that you just don't see on smaller coins. Great coins but not sure if I can handle that kind of wait again, pretty much 2 weeks since I ordered. I will probably go with STG again next time.
 
This brings me over 50oz, next stop 2kg

Yes I checked it out should be worth around £150 ish.
 
The 1863 Victoria are going for £350+ on the bay.
 
Got them at a really good price. £810 for 1.25 ounces, and £75 for the 1/10 Krugerrand.

today i received a mint tube of 25x maples from STG, I won`t post a pic as i`m sure everone on here knows it looks like anyway
but I like them, and all being well, I should be getting another 11 from Kevin, and one of them should be the worst "milk spotted"  examples for me to experiment on
 
sounds probably like an odd request, but I`m sure I should get more than the value of the silver in Data alone! ergo a good investment

Today I received two more full sovereigns.
 
A 2005, and a 1979.

2 Full Sovereigns from The Bullion Centre. The little black pouch was a nice touch

Although stated as mixed years, received 2014. These are actually the first new sovereigns I've got - can't deny, love the shine.

Had these two crackers turn up today

Heavy falls again this morning, May have something to do with the ECB saying they will do whatever it takes to stimulate the economy, should be a good day for markets and a bad day for PM's. I have to admit I never thought silver would get this low but now it's here anything's possible.

These are the coins that were waiting for me when I got back home.....

Today I received........
 
My 2002 Half sovereign, in truly A1 condition.

Here MZ this one's for you,not easy to get a good pic as a group but they are beautiful.all 1oz proofs
 

Some stuff from Dale at Strenue Bullion.
 
My run of RAM Roos is coming along nicely. These were carded but I've put them into air-tites to join the others in a case.
 

 
1988 1/10 Gold Nugget.  Only need the 1989 now to complete the date run.  I know where I can pick one up but it's a bit pricey at €139 with €29 shipping.  This final coin will have to wait.
 

 
I'm a sucker for privys.
 

 
Deutsch Post have outdone themselves with the speed of this delivery.  Posted Wednesday from Australia and landed at my door this morning.  Usually it's 7 days.

an 8oz 2011 britannia, 1 of 500 and 20 RM year of the sheep coins with no trees, as I was saying yesterday the original art work has trees in the background, these early releases don't, now I'm not sure if this is a difference between the proof and the BU coins or the early releases really are going to be different, only time will tell.

Just bought another 2005 half sov from ebay for £97+£5 delivery so £102
 
Very pleased with that, very little over what you would pay for a half sov + delivery from HGM or Atkinsons

Some pics of the 5oz Noah's ark with a 1oz next to it for comparison and some random little gold coins

1872 Shield Sovereign, surprised what great condition it's in, also surprised that Victorias head is up side down, didn't know that was a thing.
