Picked up a $5 half eagle from 1900. Wouldn't normally go for these but the price was reasonable and it's fairly nice condition. The seller also had a 1908 incuse version for the same price that was beautiful condition - except that someone had deliberately scratched the field, probably for an acid test

@sovereignsteve It's not a panda it's a 10 yuan snow leopard from 1992. I was trying to copy your photo before you changed it and was missing a coin. Seemed to be a good substitute...

My small Panda collection, which I'm getting the urge to expand.
(Actually, didn't realise I had so many )

A full oz krugerrand from HGM. The only gold coin they had on sale.

Today i received free from DrDime four coin tubes in a pirate themed package.Many thanks Doc They will come in Handy.

SP, I have a couple of empty maple tubes I can send you if you want them.

Today i got from my family for my birthday later in the month.
1 x Maple.
1 x Philly.
2 x Spiders.
This brought my average way down. To £18.76p per oz.and a total of 100 oz.
 
I have finally made it after all these years of scrimping and saving,selling stuff,collecting scrap metals for money,then using the money for silver,birthday and Christmas gifts, and just buying an ounce here and there too, as cheap as i could find it with the odd exception. I have done every trick in my book to stack this one hundred ounces of silver and i am very proud of myself for sticking with it.

Not quite today, but I'm currently waiting on delivery (hopefully tomorrow) of six full sovereigns.

Unknown condition so I'm excited to see what I got!!!

Awesome, thanks for the really detailed reply. I'm definitely going to check it out, will post if I pick anything up 
 
 
Ah thanks that makes a lot more sense! I couldn't believe Google had failed me lol

Hey Melon. Yes, all coins in the tray were £14 so got some good bargains there (most of the others were royal commemorative etc).

If you work nearby you could definitely pick up some deals but I think it would be a case of checking often (maybe go for a walk lunchtime a few times a week).

The place to go is called the Heart of Hatton Garden. It's got lots of stalls inside. There are a few stalls at the back that often have silver coins tied to the spot price with no regard to collectability ( they don't know anything about coins and buy and sell just for the metal content). I think that could be a fruitful endeavour for you if you persist at it.

The stall in the very back at the left deal a large volume of silver / gold and keep a box or two of silver coins but you have to ask to see them

1992 10 yuan snow leopard
1993 5 yuan yin/yang
1911 Hong Kong trade dollar
1994 kangaroo
Maple and ase

Tip of the day: if you look at the yin/yang on the floormat of the 5yuan, the yin section is mirrored. If you ever see one where both yin and yang are frosted - pick it up as they go for many hundreds of pounds.
