My priority was the 1/10th 2008 Brit but seeing as I was paying postage anyway, thought I'd pick up a 2010 and 2 X 2014 1/10th Libs.  I will be opening up the Brit so I can store it with the others although it is a shame to have to break open the Mint packaging.

The Indian 'I' mint mark sovereign. This being my first ever sovereign.

I'm content with limited success.

After spending some time looking at the RM lunar monkey I have come to conclusion its ****.
Truely a piss poor ugly design compared to the Perth Mint series.

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.

It's time to curb my buying at these prices.  Hopefully it'll drop back down at the end of the year when the 2017 releases start filtering.  In the mean time I'm going to dig up my duplicates and move them on.  Everything else is for the long haul and if all goes well, it'll be my children selling them off.

I used to be fully silver, then went almost fully gold, now have about equal values in both metals and it certainly feels the safest right now.

Chinese New Year having an effect?

Just this time yesterday we were at £824 =  £868 today   ( +5.35% / £+44.11 )
Better than a years worth of fiat interest earned in the bank, made in a day with a 'barbarous relic'  

Not fussy on the turtle design, but really like the thickness.

@KDaveMaybe KDave, just read a piece of news that is quite concerning about Turkey and the USA it's not been put on the western news yet but RT are making hay out of it.

And Reuters are leading with

While the BBC lead with

It maybe why the markets are even more edgy today

A bold claim

I've been waiting for a kilo kook but it doesn't look like they're anywhere to be seen, so I got a 10oz before they dissappear, 11 2oz turtles which seem to rattle about in the tube and get a little beat up, a libertad and a panda.
 

Really really pleased with this one - excellent presentation and a lovely coin. 1,000 mintage and a first of type. get thee some...last week, only 104 remained...excellent in the hand...yes it is weighs in at just 3.1g but the whole presentation and mintage and even the colouring of the certificate and box etc just makes it feel right...hard to explain....First RAM buy for me and impressed with their quality control.
 
 
edit - just checked and it's down to 71, so will be sold out at the Mint within a month of issue at this rate. I smell a possible series coming and even if not, no problem. Anyway, nicely played by the RAM. Happy camper here.

I won't buy from Bullion by Post after my recent postal experience with them. The price they are charging for the Peso 20 is ridiculous.    

My first Austrian 20 francs, to add to the small pile of French and Swiss versions.

2 x 1kg ainsley stacker bars:)

I did wonder if the nuggets were a set ... Can't fault HGM on the 3% on fractional s although they are few and far between

Platinum Platypus arrived that I bought last week.

Hello Dunes, I picked up the 2 x half nuggets, both also 1991's in original capsules. (Wasted on me as a stacker really).
Also got a half maple 1987, which takes me up to my desired stack limit.
HGM excels at bullion + 3% priced fractionals.
