1/2 oz colorized Year Of The Tiger. and 1/2 oz Year Of The Rabbit.
 

As many on here know, I'm not a fan of coloured coins in any shape or form. In fact I think them tacky at best.
 
BUT................there is a coin out there because of the subject matter, I've had my eye since I first saw it about a year ago. I was never going to pay a lot for it and if it came up for a price I was happy with, i'd buy it. Just because I want it. (Curse you forum coin collector clique for reawakening by destructive collector gene)
 
And last night I spotted an overnight auction and I'm glad to say I woke up this morning to be the new owner of it.
 
It wont be to everyone's taste, but I love old engravings and pictures of animals, especially of newly discovered animals, with all the pictures flaws and inaccuracies. (It's the reason I will definitely be getting the 2013 RAM kangaroo, with the image based on the George Stubbs painting, at some time)
 
So here it is the Cook Island 2013 silver coin with Albrecht Dürer's wood engraving of an Indian Rhino
 

8 funnel web spiders

Today I bought three 2oz kookaburras 1996, 2002, & 2003

1  oz black colorized year of the dragon.
 
 

Today I bought a 2015 Philly on eBay for £14 delivered.

Today I finally bought......

A 2oz series 2 Perth Mint mouse.

Well chuffed, been hovering for a while. That completes the 2oz date run.

I have a feeling I'm not the only one to buy one [emoji1]

I am on 88oz's now trying to do it with spare money and keeping to my goal of £20 an oz, when i reach 100 oz's .Buying those Eagles @ £33.75 at the height of the to the moon era a few years ago really hurt me but i have got it down to £20.25.buying the cheaper bullion.
Can not wait to hit that target and then stack some gold. 

2013, 2014 and 2015 somalia elephant

Today I bought... Perth Mint Lunar Series 2 BU, 2oz Dragon, 2oz Snake and preordered a 2oz tiger from morezone.

Only the 2oz mouse and ox to go. But will leave those for a while as they are quite pricey.

That's 1 down 17 to go...

I removed the lid but kept the hinges on.  Just need a nice family photo to complete the display.

Boxes for my Lunar type sets from 0.5 to 10oz.  Time to get them all boxed up and packed away.  I might even remove the hinge and lid to a couple of them so I can have them stood up on display.  Notability the Horse and Tiger as they are the birth years for my kids.
