Been away this past week and came home to a few packages which my dad was kind enough to take in for me.  I think he just wanted to hang around my place to get away from my mum.
2016 Isle of Man Angel Reverse Proof - Quite nice.  Need to dig out the normal one to compare with.  Each master sheet comes with a hologram but I don't know how many coins there are to a master sheet.  Pretty sure my ten has been cut from a larger sheet.
2016 Burkina Faso Crocodile - Yet another one of the many many coins from Africa which MCI are knocking out at the moment.
2016 New Zealand Mint Endangered Species Giant Panda - I'm glad the series is now complete.  They were releasing far too many each year.
2008 1/4 Chinese Panda - Big thanks to @Kman spotting this at Atkinsons and posting in the deal section.  Came in a capsule but has been well looked after so I'm pretty happy with it.
 
 

a 10 ounce jm bar   sold 43 ounce last week to turn into bars  so the coins are going down and the bars are on the up

I just ordered the £20 fine silver coin as I have all £20 for £20 thus far, a little gift for my little girl.
For some reason they didn't charge me shipping, bonus!!!

Received two more of these cook island kilos from silberling.de bought when spot was 10.60 - finally some luck on my timing! Standby for silver prices to collapse now that I have jumped in again 
Also received a 2015 sovereign bought on Ebay with the 20% off voucher a while back, tests as 22 ct gold, right measurements all looking good. £178.50 delivered. Took ages to sort out because of my miscalculation on the required paypal balance which led to an echeck being initiated. Seller was very accommodating though, excellent in fact. Worth the wait at that price. 

Some 1/10 Pandas - 1990 & 2005 - like these 1/10 pandas - expensive though.

My French 2008 silver lunar rat arrived along with my 100oz, 500g & 4 x 10oz copper bars, all from Germany.

OVER THE MOON :-) JUST SOURCED AN ORIGINAL P20 2009 PERTH MINT CASE FOR MY COLLECTION 

I have some gold notes, sterling ones, but I believe they have about a millionth of an ounce of gold in them [emoji1]

0.5oz series 2 set

Come back Livia.

Love it Mr D.
I'm thinking of collecting bars.

Even better the coin works out just over £6500, so £130 in Nectar points.
 

Today I bought... 
A 1/2 oz Silver Proof Goat 
A 1/2 oz Silver Proof Horse
A 2 oz Silver bu Monkey 
And
2002 1/2 sovereign. 

Yep a bit steep but inline with the price of a 1kg bar in the UK, I just like the look of old beat up poured bars.
They have character

a ungraded 1997 Large date panda
Only 2 ungraded missing for a full set with all variations

I'm content with limited success.

My first purchase; a roll of silver maples, and then a whole bunch of assorted stuff

This is my second bar like this. I had to trade some silver and paid some cash. But was able to get oz for oz for my trade. It was just some basic stamped 1 oz bars I traded.

From the research I have done it looks genuine.
Nice one.
