Engelhard collector bar bought on the forum. Less than 250 made.

This 100oz bruiser appeared today.
 

Collected from the delivery office today: A nice low numbered little owl, courtesy of @BleyerBullion along with what is certainly my #1 most beautiful bit of gold so far...

Today I bought this 2018 proof sovereign for the price of a bullion version from my local dealer in the High Street.

Received some 2oz White Lions and a 10 oz Falcon The European Mint , thanks for the code  @BackyardBullion also three Perth Lunar 3 mice thanks @arshimo2012

am sure am not the first or the last to do this, but today i completed my set of ms70s, 200th vicky and albert sovs ,,,,,, ......brought over a few of weeks from the forum, very easily from   @terakris and @Osborne01652 

Not from just today, but over the last few weeks or so I've been adding to my 1977 collection, so here are the following (all being sent to NGC/NCS for grading and conservation)
1 Chervonetz (Moscow and Leningrad mints) Thanks to @augur
200G Netherlands (Proof) Thanks to @Numistacker
Krugerrand (Proof)
150 Rupees Keeling Cocos Islands (Proof & BU)
Most came with original packaging which is always a bonus

 
 

Today I received some cheep coin capsules to tidy up my gold stash in my lovely new box that @Alun made me. 
Work well on the full sovereigns and quarter Brit but a little rattle on the 1/2’s. 

Another top grade ticked off the list

Last couple of pick ups this week. Glad I hunted around as got these at spot price. Finally over 1oz of gold which was my aim for the end of the year 😁

At a fraction over Spot, these were too nice to pass up, a nice little addition 😊

Been picking up individual PAMP silver bars when I see them for a decent price, and especially after the older Chiasso bars. A few other silver pickups - proof and BU slabbed QB Mortimer Lions; a couple of 1982 Engelhard Prospectors ( like these so much more than the ASEs that led to their demise in1987) and a stack of the stunning Korean2018  tigers. 
Only one piece of gold - but a real collectors Libertad 1/4 PF70 from 2013.  Really low mintage that year. I try to buy raw Libertad gold quarters and grade them, instead of buying already graded - but could not resist this one !   

Not a good day for photography here today.
1982 half sov.
 

Budget is a little tight ahead of Christmas so I bought this little half Sov just before the spot price started climbing again. 

 

2013 1 oz gold Lunar II Year of the Snake.  Dealer had it on sale for $20 over spot so it was a no brainer.

Not strictly today but @PandaCoins hooked me up with these 1gm gold bar capsules that make my orphaned bars much better 😂 and I found a little container they all stack in nicely 

Vintage Johnson Matthey Visa special minted issue commemorating the 88 Olympics in Canada. Was available to be purchased as an souvenir by tourists very few have surfaced over the years 👍
 
She arrived today a true beauty, Proof like with amazing patina👌

Last week, I noticed the price for silver having taken a bit of a dive. So I, maybe naively, decided to use my budget for December to take a gamble by placing an order at GS.be, despite all the negative things I have seen and read about their customer service department. 
Luckily I didn't need them, and I must say, they shipped out very quickly. If it wasn't for FedEx being such a pain, I could have even had this last Monday already. 
Anyway, I did feel like making this more of a stacking order rather than a collectible one, and I decided to take a bit of pretty much everything... 😂 The coins (which all appear to be in great condition) are still in bags, I'll get busy repacking them into capsules tonight, but I have gotten me... 
3x 1oz Two Dragons, 1x 1oz Batavia, 4x 1oz Kangaroos, 4x 1oz American Eagles, 3x 1oz Maple Leaves, 2x 1oz Maple Leaves Superman, and the ones I'm the happiest with; 3x 2oz Canadian Mounted Police. 

Got some nice old Indian silver. Some for sale some to keep  

Receive today from Germany   🤩.
Bought a week ago when the price drop by 40$/oz
 

Last few bits for a while turned up today. Thanks @richatthecroft for the awesome lib sets and the stunning half sovereign. Couple more kooks for my date run from a dealer.

Received from @goluckystayhappyOne on Friday the other 2 today, big thank you,These are my first Krugerrand, very impressive coin, the Buffalo speaks for itself.
 

Thanks to @Kookaburracollector for this lovely 2011. Kooks are coming together nicely.
