More 1/10 proof brits, 1987, 2002, 2005 and newer 2012. Also a BU 2016

1913 ms63 sov. 

2006 Lost Dutch Mine 1/20th https://taxfreegold.co.uk/worldsfinestgoldminiaturescollectioncoins.html
and a 1875 young head full sov, Melbourne mint from arsh from a week or so ago.

Little silver after a while. Half tube of queens beasts and a 10oz kook. Wanted few of these beasts and have to say they are pretty impressive design wise. None of these are perfect in quality - little dings here and there but not too shabby. Good service from GoldSilberMunzenShop again...

 
Also few days back my first graded coins with mostly gold Pandas came back with few examples below. I still have few coins pending at the NCS. Pretty much what I was expecting. The gold dollar is a bummer but them scratches are very obvious now when looking with a loupe. Anyhow rarest of the New Orleans Mint gold dollars and great that it came back uncirculated. 

More from arshi arrived today bought a week or so ago at bullion.
Christopher Columbus 2006 Sierra Leone and a Mongolian Wolfgang Amadeus 1/25 proofs

and an1892 full sov with a 1907 for company and time to go enjoy the summer
 
 

Queen Clotilde gold 1/4 coin. Beautiful packaging. I love anything that is remotely medieval.
 

today's boot fair and flea market buys. 30g sterling silver ingot for £10 and 2002 Shield half sov in superb nick for £115. Both under spot so happy with that.

A 1906 Denver $10 gold eagle, Liberty Head, and a little brother $5 gold half eagle 1880 San Francisco. £516 and £258 landed respectively. Not bad compared to spot, and a steal compared to what is needed to get an Indian Head $5 (my favourite half Eagles!)  
The 1906D is quite interesting as the first year that the Denver mint struck Eagles.  Looks a bit too "cleaned" for my liking, but still, a nice coin to look at - 110 years old. 

Got a 2014 NGC MS70 panda, and a MS69 1997 LD panda from US

A couple of pebbles bought last week from Arshi turned up just now

The latest 5g Panda Notes from the Nanjing Mint.  This time there are 3 variations.  Normal, coloured and relief.  It's hard to see in pics but in hand, you can clearly see that the pandas are not flat in the relief version.  The same goes for the temple on all the notes.  It's still early days but in a few years I can see these being very impressive.

Like many Forum members - taking the opportunity to pick up shield back gold  sovereigns, with the traditional premium over spot seeming to narrow with the recent upwards trend in spot price.  
Got an 1857 (London) and an 1879 Sydney mint -both Vic Young Head.  Both are in better shape than the only other Vic shield I have - which was an 1872 S from back in March. 
Also a nice little Aussie 1/10th gold 2009, with one of the best Kangaroo BU designs (in my view). 1/10th is as small a coin as I want to get, - I only have either Britannia proofs or these Kangaroo/ nuggets in that fiddly size! 

Thought I could allow the average to increase a bit so bought a 1787 and an 1802 half guinea on Ebay, plus some silver from @barney. Top bloke IMHO.

Had a bit of time off from work today so had some fun at my local registered numismatic coin dealer just now...
1/3 1804 Guinea
1888 Australia Sydney mint sov AU58 and my favourite and worthless piece a 1951 Festival of Britain 400 year commemorative Crown piece
