I was very late to the @BackyardBullion party and am playing catch up. Today I received the 2017 1oz bar which was bought via EBay. Lovely to see how the bars have evolved. Just looking for a 2018 now! 
I also bought, courtesy of the wonderful @Peacemaker, a great 1oz Tri-State bar. I wonder if anyone has separated these?

First foray into Platinum.  Thanks @kneehow2018. 


A grotty looking and fingerprinted 2015 Half Sovereign, Jody Clark Portrait from eBay. 


And a Gillick Portrait Set

Bought sans Sovereigns so had to fill it myself.

Best thing is the handy hideaway for the other eight year dates of the Gillick Bullion Sovereigns. 

Trusted ebay seller win.
Thanks for the quick delivery Yas.
 

Today I received the 1oz gold Britannia bar from Atkinson's. 
 

and almost immediately after drooling over @firestacker 1ouncer - LADY!
Thanks to @FFkook i got two  GORGEOUS tiddly little ladies through the door!
 

@ChrisSIlver Thankyou! Winner winner chicken dinner

2005 5 Sovereign 
getting into collecting the 5 sovereign can be expensive hobby! 

This 1 gram Heraeus gold bar arrived in record time from @goldmember44. Considering the distance it travelled I'm impressed that it only took under 18 hours.

The other day I received, for a second time, my 1776 Maria Theresia Taler, after it was graded, thanks to @Numistacker. Some might describe the grading result as a disaster but I still like it, it's still AU and it was conserved so it is almost as shiny as a new bullion coin, now. My first graded coin - I would have imagined the NGC slabs bigger, from the photos and videos. They are actually quite handy. Given the "detail" result, I will probably still get it out of the slab and put it into a capsule with a foam ring. It still makes a very nice, historical, ungraded coin.

and after conservation:

Isn’t it nice to have friends that know what you like my best mate came over for a few days in the sun and bought me these little beauties 
he put it in a story for me and it goes from coin to coin
to the lazy pig  from The cheeky monkey just lion you are are a gorilla  and the last one is like him only small but worth twice as much but full of bull  
he is a short arse Italian but he’s class  
I think it’s funny  
Sorry about photos 

First post! Hi all!
Picked up 25 2017 Silver Brits this week. 
Should they have the shadow underneath the extended arm? Its on every coin but kind of appears out of place/like a mark?

My Matt BU 2019 five sovereign piece arrived yesterday.  I am also showing the 2015 BU five sovereign piece in order to show the colour / finish difference.

A little handful while I wait for a couple of larger silver pre-orders.

I'm really impressed with the Magnificent Maple Leaves 10 ounce silver coin. If you don't have one, make it your next item. The detail of the leaves is very impressive. I know it's sacrilege but I wish they used this version on the 1 ounce.
I feel like I crossed a rite of passage and now have my first PAMP gold bar:)

A tremendous “Thank you!” to @ZGrizzlyWord for this beautiful 2016-W 1/2 oz Gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar Centennial. I have been looking at this since since I read one of the recent articles in “Coin World” concerning the US Mint wasn’t authorized to Mint this coin as a commemorative.

Also, from @Lr103, I received a 2010 Gold Sovereign Proof at a great price! @Lr103 has some really great coins and is awesome to work with!

Lastly, had a silver pick up with some 100x 1 gram Silver Bar - Valcambi Silver CombiBar™ (w/Assay)...never know when you may need to pay someone with a pinch o’ silver!

 

Today I got a small group order for several friends and family, as always excellent service from @SilverTrader , still plodding on myself saving for a monster bar, once I got one I can go to town buying all the different types of smaller cheaper cast bars I like out there.
 

 
 

 

Brace yourselves; some coins from @Numistacker but most reholder and a large shipment from @Lr103 containing some acquisitions of the last few months (all before the rise in spot 😊)
 

Added 0 minutes later... The big boy is back from Hallmarking!

Today I received the lovely 1oz gold queen's beast lion coin from @Goldmick 
I included the 2oz silver and 1oz platinum queen's beast for size comparison.

@Lindeman sent me a lovely Lion to start my QB collection.
The 2002 sovereign from eBay brought me to this forum so thanks to @Pete
2005 Australian sovereign particularly happy as paid spot way back July when gold was cheap....
2005 British sovereign from eBay I think I did well as not seen anyone selling one for less.
A couple of Pandas cause who doesn't like them.
And finally some Perth mint Dragon coins which caught my eye so now I'll be committed to that series 🙄.

A couple of items from Silvertrader great service as always.

Thank you @SilverStan love it 

Delivered yesterday.  Filled a couple holes in my ATB P collection.  2011-P Glacier National Park and 2014-P Shenandoah National Park.  A roll of 20 90% 1964 Kennedy half dollars also arrived.

Picked these two coin albums up from the post office  and was hit with 34 euro customs charge. That's pretty much what the albums are worth. Filled them up with the dates and mint marks that I had available and I am still missing some. I know both the 32's are the most expensive.
