2017 Full Sov thanks to @arshimo2012

Splashed out last week so we can call it an early Xmas/Birthday pressie to myself.
1 oz 2010 and 2011 Somali Elephants.  Mintage is supposed to be 1850.  Paid a hefty premium.
1 oz 1981 Libertad.  Different design to the modern coin so wanted this variant for the collection.
Some 1/10ths.  2017 Somali Elephant, 2007 Isle Man Cats, Apmex round.

a 1991 large date panda and a 1993 small date Both NGC MS69
Getting closer to my goal to have all variation from 1989 up to date
2007 - 2016 I have MS70, and 1989 - 2006 I´m going for MS69

A few bits from @SilverStan 1974 USS constitution round, + the silverbug island rounds. Also the new 1oz silverbugs in space bar prospector bar and a silver shield round.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiger and Horse sold
Thank you
 

The oligarch would probably be the difficult bit i feel...

Well if you consider the fact i can't sell the remaining 3 for scrap I've got no chance ?

Think that would be a rather expensive board game though...?  @Oldun

A big thank you to Silverstan - A bought a couple of the Silverbug Proof first coin in the eight coin issue - 'Welcome to the Silverbug Island' from Silverstan last year and he sourced the next two issues for me - many thanks for your time - top man!
Also two of his limited addition bars - my photos don't do them justice - very nice indeed - A stocking filler for my kids.
Picture of the first issue also shown.

Series 1 1996 1/4oz lunar mouse. May send off for grading just for fun. Looks clean under a loupe (despite there appearing to be a scratch on Lizzie's head which isn't on the actual coin) but doubt it's a 70 of course. With only 1390 of these as a declared mintage, it might be worth slabbing this one just to protect it. 430 quid delivered so happy with that regardless.

Picked up a couple of IOM 1 ounce Nobles - 2016 gold and the platinum from 1987 (middle of the Noble platinum run which went from 1983-1989, 3000 mintage for 1987). Have to say - the gold noble has instantly become one of my favourites ! 
Took further advantage of the long drop in platinum $ price in early October (to lowest in 6 months) to pick up another ounce, this one a Canadian 2016 maple, and for metal diversity I got my first palladium coin - also a 1 ounce Canadian maple, from 2005.  Interesting to see that the palladium is quite a big bigger (less density than platinum). 
Also from Scottsdale - a 5oz chunky silver bar, and then the pretty awesome Chad King Tut 5 ounce Egyptian Relic Series with its chiselled look antique finish. 
From MCM when they got them back in stock - a few slabbed PF70 silver moon festival medals, which I was initially immune to ...but now appreciate more for the sheer detail packed into the 1 ounce. 
Two Asahi 10 oz silver bars - nice to see how they kept some elements of the Johnson Mathey design, but added some new design features. Core stack. 
Finally - a batch of QB Lion gold quarter ounces (still picking them up ...as I reckon they still hold a lot of collector potential). I am going to look closely under a loupe to see if any deserve grading. 
Need to lay off the PMs for a few days?..but especially enjoyed the dip in platinum, while adding to the collection and the stack. 

Something a bit different but i was very fortunate to have this come into my hands at work, after much deliberation i have decided to hold onto it.
Made by Samuel Jacob, London 1905

This beauty from @morezone Much appreciated. 

Royal Mint Proof Rooster and the 2017 Pegasus.  The quality of the Pegasus is very poor compared to the Angels.  Marks here and there and some white hazing on the horse.
