Finally succumbed and purchased a 1/4 queens beast lion from Atkinsons. I am a bit concerned given  @Cornishfarmer comments regarding these and the fact that Atties keep appearing with these every few weeks with a batch of 50 or so when they are no longer being minted." ?,! Regardless, I have pulled the trigger and will see what turns up. I suspect that they may be purchasing rejects from the us market. Also pulled the trigger wit h goldsilver-be a few months ago only to be advised that they were returning stock t and never got this coin.GSBE said that the quality was that poor they sent stock back to the RM. Maybe more than Atties care to do? We shall see.  Only hope that they retain some sort of premium due to collector demand and that qc improve from now on. Ha , come on its the Royal mint after all. 
As a side note had I received a postal promotion from the mint for the queens beast series which looked very professional, if only they could replicate with the product, delivery, quality and general customer service.

2017 Silver Britannia from the xmas prize draw thanks @Ollie1016 and a 2017 Silver Griffin
Happy New Year everybody hope you all have a great 2017

Have to say, quite like the quirkiness that they release coins in or after the year they were actually minted. Not sure the 5 coin set will do too well with that high a mintage however. Will probably pass at that. So to get this right the mint have released the mintage numbers but have not confirmed the design for the "coming year" ? 

2x Griffin's. Not sure which I like the most, the lion or the Griffin are both stunning.
The remaining two Zambia elephant's to complete my mini set.

Some new silver - a Scottsdale Reserve 10 oz bar ( just love the design of these!). Bought on the dip.  
And some old historical silver - a US trade dollar from 1878 and the San Francisco mint. I have a few Morgans but this is my first Trade Dollar.  Intriguing history as 1878 was really the last year these were made for circulation and the first year that the SF mint started making Morgan dollars. So it's a transition coin.  Picked it up for under £40'- which I think is pretty decent, although the condition is well used. One of these coins that could tell a few bar room stories from the 1880s  I reckon?

Welcome to the forum.
At risk of sounding not welcoming I have to say, to come in at 1 post and sell is to me a bit risky.
You should introduce yourself and give back ground to your stacking/collecting history.
I for  one would not buy from you, and being in Singapore I hold my hands up would not buy from. 
I apologise for not sounding welcoming, and would have to say to newbie buyers on here think long and hard before you buy anything from anyone.
Sorry again, but as a long standing forum member this had to be said.

Just my monthly sovereign for October, a 2015. 

I have picked few things up yesterday from @arshimo2012

10 oz rooster and 5 oz Libertads.

Nice coin. Who would have guessed that Patrick Moore was that old or indeed a former monarch of the U.K.?

It's actually BLP, the designer's initials. You usually find these on most US coins and for that matter GB coins too. Most commonly on the obverse.

Arrived a day early, so nice surprise waiting for me on my desk when i got home. . My 1998 silver britannia, the first bullion year of release. I think they began the series in 97 but released a proof version the first year. That's another year off my list, 3 more to go to complete the run.

Google image, everyone knows what it is  

The 2oz BU Mouse finally came home to join it's family

 

Yet again, was watching these on ebay and it turned out to be another forum member! Trade soon done

must remember to turn that horse capsule round.

Nice photography there 

A big thanks to @morezone for this beauty. I kick myself for not buying  before brexit ?. A few times I had them in my cart but just didn't press the confirm button ??. I didn't realise they had so much detail and if any coin deserves a proof version it is this one.
 
Also another Canadian silver proof dollar to my collection ?.
