picked up the coins this morning on my way to work -

You would never think the elephant and lunar monkey are the same weight coins just by looking at them.

Just had an urge to scratch a gold itch.

Just ordered from Atkinsons -

A 2016 Elephant to go with the 2015 one a grabbed recently -

A RM Lunar money -

a 30g 2016 Panda -

And a random sov to round off my total gold oz

Will add some proper pics when they get delivered.

Mouse is a proof, others are not?

Spot on

Its affecting my OCD badly lol.  Will grab a BU mouse for the set and the proof mouse can go back in to solitary confinement in its own box.

3 long years to go to finish the set

The coins arent new but the presentation box just arrived this morning from Germany.

Can anyone spot what is wrong with these pics?

@mr-dead Where did you get the 20 peso from?

Bought it a while back, July 2014 according to my spreadsheet.

Had it from Coininvestdirect.

Mexican gold is defo my favorite.

20 peso is the best followed by the 50 peso.

Also have the 2 and 10 peso so just need the 2.5 and 5 to finish the set.

2 pesos 1945. It's very small.

I had one of these delivered this week too.  So small that when I first opened the letter in the jiffy bag I missed it was taped to the letter and was wondering where the coin was lol.

Added a pic of the proof 1/2oz V 1oz bullion

@mr-dead I like that IOM angel is it a proof.

The 1oz is just bullion but I also have a 1/2oz proof. 

Ill dig it out tomorrow and take a pic for comparison.

US 1oz Eagle

Austrian 100 Corona

They do need to be mod created.

I'm not sure if we could agree on the sections.   I think 'European Coins Thread' 'South American Coins Thread' etc but I don't mind individual coin/country threads.  @ChrisSilver @motorbikez what do you think?

By country would be good (with a dedicated section to sovs as there are so many types and so many people have them)

Perth Mint 10g Oriana gold bar

Start some up then, I don't think you have to be a mod.

Cant see any option to start a new topic so it looks like its admin locked.

Could so with some extra topics in the photo section -

US section - buffalo, st gaudens, walking liberty etc.

IOM section - Angels, nobles etc.

Ducat section

Corona section

Quintuple 1980 & 1981 sovs

Why do I like gold so much? Life was much cheaper when I liked silver..

Gold fits in to a smaller box, if I went silver instead of gold I wouldn’t be far off 3000 oz by now (a life sized silver statue of myself maybe )
