Many thanks to @Jamesd for these wee gems they really are something different! 

A 2008 silver proof Welsh Dragon "One Pound" with selective gold plating on the reverse - mintage 2,005.

After many long months of waiting. The Aputannia arrived today 😆

Couple more for the collection. The 1902 is gorgeous uncirculated.

Beautiful Round from the USA with excellent embossing in Ultra High Relief. I am very happy to have these in my collection. I see we have the same taste.
Greetings from Maxe.

Excellent round, am very happy to have these in my collection too. Best minting in impressive ultra high relief quality.

Well, strictly speaking it's a round, not a bullion coin. But it's great, although many would prefer the Privateer series from the same Elemetal Mint. That's a shame that Lawless series possibly will not be continued...

finally got my hands on this absolute beauty. 2oz Lawless. possibly one of the best bullion coins ever ????
gotta be up there IMO 😀

Now having a well deserved pint, or six!!

Received today and continuing the Crown Type Set.  This time a 1960 Crown- to celebrate the British Exhibition in New York.  This is an example of a Prooflike (from polished dies) 70,000 mintage.  
The reverse design was the same used on the 1953 Coronation Crown (date excepted), the edge reeded instead of the incuse lettering of the 1953, this design was recycled on the 2014 Reverse of the Prince George 1st Birthday Crown.   The Obverse bears the Mary Gillick Portrait of Her Majesty.
This none circulating Crown was also produced as a ‘normal’ issue of 1,024,000 Copper Nickel Crowns and a tiny mintage of just 50 were issued as Frosted VIP Proof’s- again Cupronickel but the VIP Proof will set you back two or three thousand pounds 🤯 rather than the tenner I was able to buy the Prooflike for 😃 

Well what can I say.... this is absolutely stunning in the flesh..... (mark on nose is fluff on case and I didn't have time to retake picture :-))

Received this absolute stunner today 😍
Unfortunately it’s got to go but what a Beaut 🙌
The pictures really don’t do it justice. 

I received my 2021 2 ounce silver Queen's Beasts completer, a 2006 & 2021 1/10 ounce silver Britannia, and a 1936 USA Rhode Island Tercentenary half dollar.

Few silver bits for me.
Added a second little run of Czech lions but actually thinking I’m not sure I like them now and difficult to fine. Got my 2nd bar from @BackyardBullion and balanced a few Brit ounces short for one of my kids courtesy of excellent service from @Ryan

Two 2oz high relief beauties.

Stunning 1883 Indian Princess $1 dollar 
MS63 Proof Like desgination  unbelivable high grade

Any wee marks seem to just be on the capsule, very pleased.
Just need to pick up a 2018 & 2019 and then I'll consider my panda itch scratched......anyone looking to sell, drop me a DM please, cheers. 
Help me complete my mini date run of 10 of these wee fellas 😁

Some nice American bits through the door today,

try to stick to constitutional inbetween expensive gold weeks.
thanks once again to @DuncanWylieWilson

Had a nice trip to the London Coin Fair this morning and got this nice sovereign for my stack from The Coin Cabinet. Not a rare date, more for stacking purposes.
