I received my Queens Beasts yesterday,the UPS man/woman signed for them himself/herself and left them on the patio so I had to come home from work in my dinner hour and put them in the house.
I take it that they are not supposed to do that.
I also received a 5g Gold bar from HGM and it was a PAMP Suisse one in a blister pack which I am happy with.

My first Gold coin! 1/4oz Queens Beast arrived today.

New Zealand Post Maori Art Series....sporadic and beautiful. Boxes and coins - all stunning. 

A 1989 gold proof full sovereign - the 500th anniversary edition. Very happy with it - despite a few minor surface marks (think it must have been handled out of its screw case RM capsule at some stage). 
Negotiated down to £430 for it, so still a crazy premium over spot - but this is a collectors coin, and I am going to keep it as a key piece in my (small ) sovereign collection. Got it from a local shop - where they knew it was worth more than an average sov ....but probably not what the "going rate" is for these coins.  

Got my gold 1908 rooster and 1855 Napoleon III coins from Shinus today.

Stuff

Got my sovereigns (x5) delivered from Atkinsons, all newish coins as requested (2004 and up) - filled my second tube!!!

Received two more of these cook island kilos from silberling.de bought when spot was 10.60 - finally some luck on my timing! Standby for silver prices to collapse now that I have jumped in again 
Also received a 2015 sovereign bought on Ebay with the 20% off voucher a while back, tests as 22 ct gold, right measurements all looking good. £178.50 delivered. Took ages to sort out because of my miscalculation on the required paypal balance which led to an echeck being initiated. Seller was very accommodating though, excellent in fact. Worth the wait at that price. 

2016 the year of Monkey 200gm 0.999 silver bar
(6.43 Troy oz)

Mintage 6000
It's kind of neat how the text in the boxed window scrolls as the drawer is opened...
 

x5 mixed year sovereigns from Attkinsons.
As usual, price matched HGM to save a few pound :-)
Asked for newish coins (>2000) if they have them handy - just cause I like em shiney!
Wait to see what gets delivered tomorrow....

Platinum shiny!

10 bullion sovereigns from Atkinsons
Ordered 'previously owned - any year' via phone.
Price matched HGM, and I asked if I could get years after 2000 if possible, just cause I like them shiney
Got x5 2015 and x5 2016 - all in individual capsules!!
Very happy with Atkinsons, this is the third decent sized purchase I've made from them and 100% customer hapiness each time.

1862 Shield from Atkinsons.  Not sure what's wrong with it as it was priced up cheaper than their usual shield sovereign price and worked out cheaper than HGMs Shield+postage price.

Received a special delivery today from @KDave
Me first gold! Aye!
They are so small... but have to take baby steps, I guess.
1 x 1/20 oz Maple Leaf 2001
1 x 1/20 oz Maple Leaf 2006
1 x 1/20 oz Isle of Man Angel 1990
(All bullion with caps)

At last my coin arrived, It was my birthday a few weeks ago so i decided to treat myself, Little did i know when i wrote "a Russian gold 50 Roubles" in the topic "Your Top Gold Coins For 2016" How hard and stressfull it would be to firstly to find one and secondly to get one at at resonable price. In the end i had to buy one from the Russian Federation and wait just under three weeks for the coin to arrive. But now the coin is here im very chuffed

Wasn't whether to put here or non PM section.  These photo blocks just turned up which I'll be using for the gold and silver notes.  Will be putting up some shelves over the weekend for them.
