I found a great deal on the complete set of the US State quarters, the silver proof versions, of course. (50 states plus six territories, not pictured) And the coin capsules and tubes to store them in. Sorry for the horribad pics. I could not get good lighting. 

Something a bit different.

Thanks @SilverStan for these...

Just had a offer accepted on a 100 Oz Johnson Matthey hand poured silver bar, very good price at £1350 I think.

Started mainly as collector and a big part of my buys continue in this direction. It had been an enjoyable hobby for me, that pure stacking can't satisfy. It has replaced other cheaper but sizable collections (DVDs for example), that you lose maybe 80% of your money or more when reselling. The problem with collectible items is that you need time to resell them, if you don't want to lose money (and some times you can still do).
So I have decided in the last months to divide my budget between investment and collectibles and also started selling a part of my second for the first. Except the ease in selling bullion (or similar) items, the other advantage is the low attachment with the actual items. Meaning you can sell easier if and when you want. But of course the excitement factor is seriously lower (except the thrill of the volumes building up maybe! 😁 ).
Although I understand that gold is the safest and most liquid bet, I can't stop feeling that silver is quite undervalued at the moment, the same as platinum. So lately I am stacking mostly silver bullion and junk (which has a certain appeal as well). In silver bullion I split between classic coins (Eagles, Philharmonics etc.) and some speculative items. The later being coins that are not much more expensive than the cheapest bullion ones but have a chance to acquire some numismatic value on the road (Queen's Beasts for example).

I went into the LCS to see if they had any sovereigns. They didn't, but they had a special deal on a 1907 half Eagle ($20 over spot), so I bought her instead. Still about 1/4 ounce of gold.
