Received my first silver crown today and apart from it being cleaned it has a fair amount of detail and I got it for a reasonable price.
Also another Canadian silver dollar for the collection.

Some random pickups including:
1/4 and 1/10 Britannia 2016
1/10 proof Britannia
1/10 2003 BU britannia carded
1/10 angel
2013 proof? quarter sovereign

Luxembourg 20 Francs 1946  600th Anniversary - John the Blind .
 
 

This turned up today along with some 2016 pandas
Glad I got this graded, beautiful medal

Some Moon Pandas and a couple of other bits.

Just my monthly sovereign for October, a 2015. 

Pick ups .1/2 , 1 , 2 and 5 oz Lunar roosters . 5 x Congo gorillas thanks mondy41.

An empty paper envelope!!

 
 
 
 
Just messing.  It could have been though.  If you're going to send a £500 coin in the post, you should really spend the extra 50p on a decent envelope.  Luckily the coin was still in there despite the rip/hole and he'd used Special Delivery so if it had fallen out he should have been covered.
1/2 oz Platinum Eagle.  27mm coin but managed to squeeze it into a 25mm ringed T capsule.  If it hadn't fit, then it would have had to go into a 27mm H cap which I think is a little big for such a small coin.

Prices edited to reflect the craziness of the silver market!

Must of been a 1 oz fake silver panda they chucked in?

2016 65g Nanjing Panda finally turned up.  Has taken longer than usual to arrive.
Much better panda design than the 2014 60g Two Lovely Pandas aka Two Bald Pandas.

These gold beauties came this morning. Nothing too exciting or old.  

5oz Scottsdale Tombstone Nugget. Pre-Owned  From Atkinson's

Raw Lion. Raaaaa
 

After a few months away from the game.....I just had to get some new shinies  . £2070 inc. delivery.
Never had Britannias before, don't know why but they feel lighter than 1oz silver eagles....luckily I got them from Atkinsons so not worrying they are dodgy
Only thing I wish.....I should have got a couple more! Looked this evening and Atkinsons are sold out and HGM are asking about £10 more per coin plus delivery.

I just bought five silver 2ounce Beasts for £224.51 from Silvertrader, cheaper than STG who are £215 plus £13.95 postage, its not always cheaper to buy VAT free when you factor in the postage !
