Today i received my 2015 WMF proof Kookaburra from EMK.
 

Today I have received my Big Ben £100 coin......Nice.....
 
Just checked eBay and there are a few with bids up to £140 even better.

Having lived in my current location for the last 4 years, I thought I had pretty much mapped out the locations of all the coin shops, gold/silver dealers, and antique shops/centres/fairs etc for a 100 mile radius. Well not quite...
 
Whilst looking at the website of the only decent coin dealer for miles, I discovered that on a Monday they are at an antique centre in the nearby town of Taunton. On checking the map, it turns out that this three floor antique centre/fair that I have never seen before, is only a few hundred yards away in a back street from the KFC, where practically every Monday I have my lunch. How the hell I never knew it was there is beyond me. It's only open on Mondays, and seems to be very busy.
 
So went there for the first time today. Lots of silver bits and pieces, which will need to be checked out in future visits armed with a scale, which look to be very keenly priced. As for the coin dealer, as well as putting me first on his list for any future Britannia sets that comes his way, (he knows my price limit and says he can work with that), I picked up a 155.5g .925 Silver Proof 100 Vatu coin from Vanuatu, Queen Mother coin for £60. It's a very thick coin.
 
So in essence I've got  4.625 t/oz of silver for £60, (was priced up as £75), which equates to £12.97 an ounce. So I'm well happy with that. Plus it puts me just over the 300 t/oz of physical silver. So another milestone hit.
 

 
 
Update. Just checked the sold listings on Ebay, and two of these coins have sold recently for over £90 delivered. Very Nice..
