How about this for a kick in the spuds.. today I received these three items two CO @arshimo2012 the forum legend! 
And I only get to keep the Bull.... which I have to say is a bloody nice coin but that 100oz omg ?

Received quite promptly from eBay 

A nice bundle of Kooks, including a 2004 and a 2003 2oz.

A teeny 1929 quarter eagle, a tad smaller then a half sovereign. Bought from ebay, took a chance on some dodgy photo's and pleasantly surprised at the condition for a near 90 year old coin.

Some randoms arrived today:
Couple of tubes of Tree of Life:

Some fractional platinum just to see what it was like... ITS TINY!

Dragon & Phoenix proof's

And a Lunar Rooster to go with my Lunar Dog

EDIT: oh and one of these trade dollar things people are going on about.

An 1887 shield back half sovereign from Quicksand005

1887 sovereigns - the £2 double and £5 quintuple. Got these at auction - and very happy with them both!  A few rim nicks but otherwise pretty clean fields and designs. The detail on the Vic side is really quite something - so much easier to see on these bigger sovs.  The weights check out exactly and they have that unique 1887 “yellow gold” look due to the silver content, so i am confident they are not fakes ?. Only way to be really sure i guess would be to send them into PCGS or NGC. I reckon they would maybe get AU 58.  Other opinions on the potential grades? The indiividual photos are of the £5  ... where there are some surface marks / hairlines ? on the Vic side

A silver proof and a nice 1/10oz

A rather nice 1906 sovereign and the 3D sized 1/10 Pt Brits from the group order from gold old BackyardBullion 

Tasty order there my friend, love your small libertads - they got a special mention in Saturday's video ?

Today I got my package from the group order top notch packaging by Mrs BYB and a big thanks to @BackyardBullion for organising the order.
Just under 30oz in this one but got my roll of the oriental brit's 

Got my hands on a 2017 proof Britannia, my favourite Britannia design  

2007 1/4 oz proof Britannia - will need conserving before grading.

Today i got some Dragons 

Just a proof.

Better pic 

Another group order has landed!
 

2010 Mexico 1/2 oz Gold Libertad proof. Somewhat low mintage at 600.

Also, cool to get a coin representative of a historic Mexico landmark one has visited.

Another 1/2. And something I shouldn't have really...
 

I got _extremely_ lucky and got one of these sets for _a lot_ less than what i should have paid. The first genuine deal I've ever had at an auction.
I had been eyeing this up for ages now.
United Nations 1995 Silver Proof 36 coin set (with all COA's - this alone is very rare).
There were only 1394 of these sets ever made, most of them got broken up from the sets, though some of the coins exist separate (in their own individual presentation cases).
Some really notable coins in here, the lowest mintage Irish coin (ever), Moroccan 200 dirhams, Argentine Peso, Norwegian 50 Kroner, Latvia 1 Lat, Uruguay $200, Oman 1 Rial, GB £2
The list goes on. Estimated Value is about 1000 quid, I guess. Maybe more.
 
Has anybody got one of these?
 
 
I placed a bid, thinking I'd just lose, but if you're not in, you can't win.
Imagine my delight when I got the email that i'd won it.

(This set is not my one in the picture, but the same deal.)
 
 

A teeny tiny panda ? 

Queen's Beast box for 10oz Silver Coins
My wife got me the box as a gift and then helped me to customize it by machine cutting another layer of foam so that I could use it for both the 10 oz Silver and 1/4 oz gold coins.  I will be collecting the full set of each.  I think it came out great


 

My 5oz Kiwis (mintage 500, same as the current 1/4 oz gold)

 
and my Baccarat coins

Cracking coin but covered in milk spots, think it’s worth telling Eva??!!!!
