Quicksilver

A 2001 silver proof piedfort Celtic Cross pound coin.
I did think about buying this after the new pound coin gets released but I like the design so bought it now, especially like it more when it's a fat one

22 silver 2 ounce Queens Beast lions & Airtite capsules to match. Wish me luck finding some nice ones in the tubes....
6 gold quarter ounce Queens Beast lions, plus a few extra for a fellow Forum member. All from Pinehurst in the US, awaiting collection. If these are the first and last quarters in the series I decided it was time to join the QB party?
And then overnight - nice auction wins on eBay for my first ever proof Britannia - the 2014 1 ounce as a PF70, and a silver 2011 Isle of Man noble. 
 

I've bought a 1 oz silver proof rooster. And a Isle man  reverse proof angel.

Just received the 2016 1/4 ounce gold Standing Liberty Quarter.  I am very disappointed with the coin has it has two dents on the rims so I will be sending it back.  Poor Quality control - reminds me of the royal mint. 

Today I received my Aug prize draw kook.
It's great...thank you to the forum and again to @ChrisSilver

Just picked up from my local dealer today, my first Canadian sovereign 1911 
 


 

My 1st proof Libertad from EMK 

1985 Libertad and 2007 year of the pig.
 
 

My first Panda just arrived, along with a 1g gold bar

Something a bit different from midland coin fair. A romanian gold coin and a japanese nibu kin
 

Some half Brits arrived today, bought with the proceeds of silver sales to one of our artisanal forum members.

Hi everyone,  the Captain America Heads are ready to be pre ordered,  I have sold 12 of the 50 I'm making before I go onto the hulk. They are  925,  hallmarked and individually numbered also and weigh 55-56g each. I am taking a £20 upfront deposit on each, or full payment of £80 including signed for shipping UK,  then £60 balance payment once been cast as I don't have the upfront costs of £100s to pay for everyone. PayPal is clcarter120178@gmail.com 

Got them last week but open today
1/4oz 1/10oz dragons,10oz tiger,5oz monkey, some kookaburras, Brits,1/2oz lunars.

In a delivery from Germany I have the final coin needed for my 1/10 Kangaroo/Nugget Bullion date run, the very elusive 1989.  Has a massive mintage of over 122k but it has taken me almost 2 years to find and buy one at the right price.  I did see one maybe a year or so ago but passed on it as the postage was €29.  I will take the coin out of the original square cap and put it into a modern round one so it can fit into my coin box.
Also picked up a few bits of silver.  The Fiji Iguana has now been removed from the Certi-Lock packaging and placed in a capsule and the 2016 Congo Gorilla has been removed from the cardboard backing.

I received a few additions today. Nothing rare but I was happy to find the 2014 Horse privy Maple in stock at the same place as the other two. I put the Queen's Beast into a 2oz high relief capsule for safe keeping. It's not an exact fit but better than nothing at all.

Took the kids Alton Towers today and instead of missing the Apmex order I got my dad to house sit for it.
2014 1oz Gold Canadian 5 Blessings - Been after this for a while and back when it was released there were very few places stocking it.  Just like the RAM kangaroo and Lunar Series, this was also distributed by PAMP.
2016 1/4 Queen's Beast - One for myself and some for fellow forum members.  Lion is mint and obverse seems fine apart from some hazing around the outer edge.  I've noticed this with the 2oz silver ones too but they seem to be affected on the reverse.

A great pickup from @Shinus73 thank you.

The Penny Black proof crown from @HelpingHands "reverse auction"
I love the finish on this coin, it sure shows up the minute dust particles though.

Couple of 1 oz Lunar proofs.
I was looking at them on ebay and it turned out to be a prominent forum member

Today my 1987 silver Libertad finally arrived. It has a few knocks and some tarnishing, ah well. Then I noticed the wording around the edge of the coin that I never realised was there when it was advertised. Makes it a little more interesting.

2016 Commemorative Pandas.  I do collect the silver ones when I can get them at a reasonable price but they always seem to be crazy expensive for what they are.  Decided to splash out a little on this set as it commemorates 120 years of the Shenyang Mint.
