Full 1oz proof kook date run + anniversary coin
 

Bank of England has Venezula's gold but unfortunately they cannot return the gold because they have forgotten which pile it is in........

Finally able to find some time to break out the collection and provide us with this...
Silver collection.

 
Backyard Bullion Poured Silver Collection and 2018 Silver Britannias, since I ran out of room in above collection.

Gold Sovereign Collection, mostly Numismatic and Bullion with some proofs (there is also a Queen’s Beast hidden in the graded tray).

 
Gold Sovereign Proofs and special Sovereign dates.
 

 
Gold 1 oz Gold Maples,  1 oz and 1/2 oz Krugerrands with some Rands, 1 oz Rwanda Gold Lunar, 1/2 oz Gold Libertads,  Queen’s Beast Proof and BU, remaining Gold Sovereign bullion and other varieties.

My first year of stacking so far. Hoping to complete the Lunar 1 10oz before end of the year.
 

All bullion coins don't have any graded coins or proof sets. My two months stacking PM

Gold in my PM stack

I have some hand poured silver forum bars but the two pieces I love from @BackyardBullion called Antiqued Pirate Round and Antiqued Jolly Roger

Since i was taking photos here's my stack/collection. Sticking to Gold, but did divulge in some silver for colour balance! Don't even mention whats at the back, my "schoolboy" error commemorative RM coins (still have a little bit of silver in them i suppose).
A couple of proof sovereigns (2005 & 2017) missing as off for grading!

One more pic since I'm on a roll.  I went through a phase of really liking the 10oz Scottsdale stackers. Was sort of like playing with a bunch of oversized lego bricks. Anyway, for people that want to see a bit more weight, here you go.

Here's another pic of more recent stuff. Found this guy on facebook. He uses delft clay to make molds for his pours. Details on every piece he does is extraordinary. Pieces go from about 1oz to a hair over 10oz for the "freedom bomb" up top

This pic is almost 3 years old now and well before I went bonkers on poured silver, but it's the best I can do since I'm too lazy to get everything together these days.

Difficult to gather and photograph everything at once, as I have several boxed sets that take a lot of space. So starting here with my gilded collection. Unfortunately not all clear in a single shot but in a nutshell they are Pandas, Kookaburras, Koalas, Queen's beasts and five Lunar sets.
 

S1 gold 1/10 oz ox , goat to finish my set and silver 1 oz S1 still two more to complete.

2 x 2oz slabbed Queens beasts.
 

Full set of PF70’s for the 2006 1/4 oz Britannia set.

My Kiwis are back

Compared to what some of other Forum members have been taking delivery of recently, my latest acquisition really seems like very "small beer", but as a recent convert to the joys of the Kookaburra Series I have to say that I'm very pleased with the 2019 coin
All of the ones in the Series that I have managed to pick up in the last couple of months are really good-looking coins, but the ones from the last decade or so I consider to be truly exquisite - superbly detailed and of the highest quality (and this one cost me less than £20, even including Signed for Delivery, and it came with a good quality capsule - happy days!)

Nice 10oz bull and some of the 2019 1oz royal arms coins. They are definitely one of the best looking (reasonably priced) 1ozers I've seen. 

Here are Perth Mint's definition of Proofs Bu's and Specimen coins,I've added a few coins to hopefully clarify things,the proofs are all on the left of the photos
 
 
Proof Coin
The very highest quality collectable coin produced by The Perth Mint.  Featuring a proof finish comprising a highly-polished table with frosted and/or coloured design elements.
Bullion Coin
A mass produced coin primarily aimed at precious metal investors. Finished with shiny design elements on a frosted table.

Specimen Coin
A collectable coin akin to a bullion coin with a frosted table, but also featuring one or more special numismatic treatments, including colour, gilding, antiquing, or the insertion of gems.

RAM's interpretations of proof and Bu,s also known as UNC/uncirculated.
 
Proof
A carefully struck coin using special dies with either a mirror‑like or matt finish. These coins are especially struck and the term is not used to describe a well‑preserved circulating coin. Proof is a method of manufacture, not a condition or grade.
  Uncirculated (UNC)
Uncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following:
More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish, The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design. More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved. Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.

I hope this helps clarify things.
