Having lived in my current location for the last 4 years, I thought I had pretty much mapped out the locations of all the coin shops, gold/silver dealers, and antique shops/centres/fairs etc for a 100 mile radius. Well not quite...
 
Whilst looking at the website of the only decent coin dealer for miles, I discovered that on a Monday they are at an antique centre in the nearby town of Taunton. On checking the map, it turns out that this three floor antique centre/fair that I have never seen before, is only a few hundred yards away in a back street from the KFC, where practically every Monday I have my lunch. How the hell I never knew it was there is beyond me. It's only open on Mondays, and seems to be very busy.
 
So went there for the first time today. Lots of silver bits and pieces, which will need to be checked out in future visits armed with a scale, which look to be very keenly priced. As for the coin dealer, as well as putting me first on his list for any future Britannia sets that comes his way, (he knows my price limit and says he can work with that), I picked up a 155.5g .925 Silver Proof 100 Vatu coin from Vanuatu, Queen Mother coin for £60. It's a very thick coin.
 
So in essence I've got  4.625 t/oz of silver for £60, (was priced up as £75), which equates to £12.97 an ounce. So I'm well happy with that. Plus it puts me just over the 300 t/oz of physical silver. So another milestone hit.
 

 
 
Update. Just checked the sold listings on Ebay, and two of these coins have sold recently for over £90 delivered. Very Nice..

Today I received  1 oz year of the mouse.

Finally got my two 1987 gold nuggets, thanks to Atkinsons: they were listed as "pre-owned" but they look perfect to me! Love these early nugget designs, so now the collector gene is telling me to collect more of them. I do like some of the later Aussie Kangaroo designs as well / like 2007 or 2009.
Pictured with two Shetland silver Ravens which also arrive today. Got a proof and a " tarnished" - can you spot any differences? I could not. Nice coins - bit expensive as bullion, but I will get the 2015s as well.
So as Danny would say - " a very good day"!

Today my Kooks landed plus my 2015 proof roo
 

 

Today was a very good day.

I received the last 5 Sydney Olympic proofs to complete the set.

A 2008 panda to take that run back a little further.

A Rwanda elephant 2009, only two required for that run.

A 2oz series 2 ox, only the mouse to get to complete that set.

Two Westminster coin boxes from MB to hold my two date runs of Britannias (with privies).

Awesome day!!!

a 2010 koala, now i have 2 full sets of 1oz and 1 set of 1/2 ozers

Placed another small order.   1 oz year of the goat lion privy 1 oz 2009 maple leaf tower bridge privy

2004 1 kg Kook
 

Thanks to Arshimo, I've managed to complete my set of RAM carded Crocs. (I'll be going for the proofs next). I dug out my old Sony Handycam for the pics. Much better than my phone
 

 
 

Today I bought a 1oz Perth Mint lunar goat with lion privy.

That keeps another set going for another year.

Today I bought 1oz 2015 Berlin Show Kookaburra proof & 2015 1oz proof RAM Roo.
 
Just a heads up to anyone after the 1oz proof kook, EMK have some at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me if they are gone in a couple of days as they are already sold out at the Perth Mint( 1 day ) and the mintage is only 2500

After months of searching I have managed to finally acquire a 1oz Gold Ukrainian Archangel Michael for a fairly reasonable premium.  Came in Mint capsule but I've rehoused it.

Today, after almost a year of looking, forgetting to look, scratching about, searching and then almost giving up....
 
I bought a Royal Silver Company 1Oz 99999 Silver Anaconda! :D :D   (Some deals just take ages to go through!)
 
Payment made, tracking number received!
 
Set completed!
 
Happy Camper! lol
