Got this through the group order from BYB, goes with my 10 oz Lion.

More self indulgence, and even better than what I received in the Group Order, thank you again to @BackyardBullion for these beauties.  The 250g Forum Bar is fantastic, and the BYB graduated Cubes are so cool ? 

They compliment the other BYB Hand Poured I already own.  Can't wait for my other 250g Forum Bar to be manufactured. Well on the way to my 2kg target of this superlative hand poured shiny stuff. 

This from Backyard
 
 

Does the reverse have cannons, flags and palm by any chance?

So pleased with the 10oz QB's. My share of the Group Order. Thanks @BackyardBullion 

My son and my friends share, not sure about the colourised coins?

 
 
 

Love it.

I got a nice by-catch: Bullion Sovereigns 2000 and 2010 for bullion prices. Both are from the time well before I started collecting.
Now I stand at 125 sovereigns, and my bank safe starts spilling over... I will have to throw out all those pretty boxes.

Got my package courtesy of @BackyardBullion from the group order another 9oz added and the lib tube now full ?

Today was a good day
 

A slight twist to normal....  the 1797 "cartwheel" penny and two pence were the first coins to feature Britannia as we know her today. It was the first time she was pictured holding a trident, instead of a spear and the first time she was pictured overlooking the sea and a ship.
This coin is the two pence version, 41 mm, is made of copper and weighs a mighty two ounces. The penny is slightly smaller at 36mm and one ounce.

New additions ❤❤❤

Received these today.  Speculative buy and yes, I did pay what I think was silly premium for it!  and bought into the 'scarce' Pobjoy mint Bu Falkland Islands 'Britannia Rules the Waves' ...we'll see in time if this gamble pays off! But I do like the coin so it might cushion the eventual disappointment of its price plummeting!
Another Rocking Horse Crown which was at a very enticing price on eBay.
The star of the show for me today however,  is the bu Netherlands Lion.  What a beauty.  

Received a great 1861 AEF Young Victoria Gold Sovereign (CGS 55), Bentley Type Lot 430 Double Stamped A. 

British trade dollar:


Now riddle me this, it came with a COA but I can't figure out who it is that issued it? Anyone able to shed some light?

The postman’s how old?? 

Oh my, that is deliciously sexy! An absolute stunner of a coin, I look forward to seeing your youtube video of this one.

Very nice 1820 half sovereign 
NGC MS62! 
Only 35,043 were minted 

Monster box of 2018 Brits finally arrived after being stuck in France for 3 days due to snow.
Satisfyingly heavy.
 

Today I received... a 1/10 2017 50th anniversary privy krugerrand and a 2018 full sov. Also received these 2010 boxed and sealed Britannia coins. (Apology’s for the poor picture, haven’t quite mastered it yet.)
Also I’m looking for 1/10 proof screw capsules if anyone has any leads would be greatly appreciated! 
 

Playing catch up on some pieces.
2018 Chinese Panda, 2018 South Korea Gallus, 2017 Czech Lion, 2017 Falkland Islands Britannia, 2017 Isle Man Noble (reverse Proof), 2017 Australian Kookaburra - Privy (Panda), 2018 Niue Roaring Lion of Judah, 2018 Australian Koala, 2018 Somali Elephant - Privy (Dog) & 1980 Mexican One Onza
The Mexican One Onza is slightly larger than 40.6mm so looks like I'll have to find a lighthouse cap for it.

My part of the European Mint Order (plus some secrets from BYB, thanks mate they are awesome!) First pic as received, second with everything in capsules
