People who vandalise coins in this way should be sent round to @goldbones house dressed in stripes wearing a mask

Series I tenth oz dragon. Now have mouse, dragon and the monkey 1/10 oz from the series one. All very good value buys- don´t collect the set actively.
 

Today i bought a 1oz Silver Eagle £13.49 and £2.50 Nectar points.
Nothing exciting but another ounce in the stack. Not a big purchase, but i wanted to show stackers on a budget it can be done.
Slowly, slowly, filling a tube, four in it now. Buy your self a tube from E-bay and see if you can fill it.
Come join me my fellow stackers, its national start filling an ASE tube day.
Clear the loft sell some rubbish.

Popped round to David's @Abbotssilvercoins to choose a ten ounce lunar horse and three 1oz 2016 silver Britannias.
He makes a good cup of tea as well
Now to put these away before my missus gets back from town!

Received a couple of weeks ago, but only freed from PCGS prison today.

1/10 Royal Mint lunar sheep. No sign of the 1/10 monkey, anyone know if they are going to be available or discontinuing? 

Earlier this week - received a 1913 sovereign (which the eBayer claimed was a 1918 until I told him it was not ....but hey / it's bullion). 
Then today my Iceland gold 1100 year commemorative for the 874 -1974 founding of Iceland. Lovely coin, original box - only the second gold coin ever from Iceland. Interestingly - the coin (0.4458 g gold at 0.900) was minted at the UK Royal Mint.  
Only one more gold coin ever issued by Iceland..,. Need to track that one down now!  
 
PS - I am not Icelandic .,,, but I did visit in February and loved the place and the people! 

SilverTowne Stacker round, Apmex Sunshine Mint Year of the Monkey round and 2008 Koala.  Just need to pick up a 2007 Koala at some point to finish the date run.
Kazakhstan Golden Irbis and 2016 Somali Elephant.  A couple more 1992 1/20 Libertads and a 1/20 2012 Panda to finish the set.  Took forever to find the Panda. As a backup, I bought a slabbed one a while back with the intention of breaking it open should I never find a reasonably raw 1/20.

About a week, should been even faster if I had been home.
Now I had to go and pick it up on our postoffice.

Today i received a nice condition 1920 Sovereign from HGM,to go with my 1980 Proof Sovereign i got from Danny this week.

My Odin arrived after a long wait.
10oz Kazakhstan Silver Irbis.

I finally received my 3 oz Max relief Odin coin, pre-orded in Aug, got it today :S
A very nice coin.

Today I received (after a 3 month wait), 2016 Legends of Asgard 3oz Max Relief Coin.
 

I was never given a tracking number for this parcel so it was a surprise when it turned up by UPS just now.  Usually expect DHL/Parcel Force with German orders.
1/2 & 5oz Monkey.
1/10 Golden State Mint Indian Head Round
1oz and 1kg Cook Islands Bars

Finally managed to get chance to open today's package which really should have been delivered yesterday.  Conned my dad into waiting in at mine for the delivery rather than missing it and having to wait until Monday to get it.  Officially broke now.

10 2016 kooks, love this coin, not just the kook and the barb wire but also the depth of the horizon, great piece of art, I'll be getting every weight I think.
10 Perth mint monkeys, a Somalian elephant and a kangaroo, all really nice.
The royal mint monkey's poor, plenty of dings and a couple of milk spots, one by the Chinese symbol and the other on the heads side.
On the Sovereign front, the Isle of man Sov which was overweight turned out to be real, picked up a nice 1872 Sovereign while I was there.
