RAM 2018 Silver Kangaroo 25th Anniversary Coinbar
 
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Skippy series, the RAM commissioned a rather attractive release. This 2018 $1 silver frosted uncirculated coin is housed in a 2oz silver bar, featuring a 25th anniversary design with a supremely gimmicky and entirely pleonastic ‘25’ privy mark.

The certificate number is located in the top right hand corner of the reverse. Although generally reported to have been a mintage of 5,000, in reality only 1992 were released. A pleasingly low adjustment.

The 3oz Roobar is, of course, 99.9% fine silver, and comes both encapsulated and boxed.
 
May extend my profuse gratitude to @CoinStruckfor his assistance in this purchase - a true gentleman.



 

This is a really FAT round 
I am in love with this mint

I’m in as well!  The same prize as the past two years: a 1/10oz gold Eagle. 
 

The post man is looking after me this weekend for sure 
1998 5oz libertad 😍 3500 minted 

Today and earlier in the week....
3 oz of bullion coins, 1 oz silver card and a bullion grade half sovereign. No where near as exciting as some of the stuff you guys seem to get but it’s all adding to the stack!!
 

Received partial order today from The European Mint I have ordered full tube 1 oz Gold Greyhound coins but only received 7 and 3 more on the way.........

Don’t have too much silver but couldn’t resist getting one of these. Not sure if there is a nicer kilo bar out there

Also in today a Lovely simple designe but up there as a top 2oz coin.

My personal opinion for what it's worth - run!
Quick DuckDuck search shows which Company it is and they're selling paper that claims to be redeemable in two years for real stuff.
Could go into lengthy discussion about counter-party risk etc but if you were stood next to me in a pub I'd point you toward the nearest bullion dealer and safe installer.
I'm sure others have different opinions regarding these types of operations but for me, there's only ever one party that makes out on this and it's not the consumer.
Good luck. 
 
I've had a good read through their initial pitch and my opinion is the same.
I'd rather have a £7,500 hole in my bank account and 5 shiny yellow coins than a £6,000 hole and a piece of paper that says I can collect some shiny from a Company that may or may not exist in 2 years time!

My Greyhound showed up, just the Griffin left to go, almost complete 👍

Received this beauty in the post today (4 November). As some of you know I like a double sovereign and this would be one of the nicer ones, particularly since it’s a bit older than me 😀. Given its age I find it more attractive than some if the 70 proofs in my collection. A shout out to Eric Eigner @drakesterling for letting me bring it back to back to Blighty.

My impulse buys last few days, are that I keep hoovering up sovereigns I see in dealers or on here.
Nice 2017 H&B one from @JamieW3838and a 2001,05,08,09 and 10 ones from dealers and eBay. The latter pass the Sigma tests, so I’m happy adding to my kids sovereign stacks.

Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
1) why would anybody offer a 3.5% discount on gold today vs spot price when it is so liquid and easy to shift anyway?
2) why would a producer sell you gold at an 18% discount to spot when gold futures are trading at a premium to current spot out to dec 2022?
Doesn't smell right - steer well clear!
