One of the best 2020 designs, imo. Quite surprised the coin is still available from European dealers, and at good price. 

2021 White Horse of Hanover

Today I received the third coin in the black flag series which I didn’t want as the thought the design was awful compared to the original two in the series, but in the end I felt obligated to get it. Now it’s in my hand I have to say I’m glad I changed my mind it is growing on me 😆
Any thoughts on this one.....?

This coin will be for sure in my 2021 top5 list, really great design on both sides. Seems this time APMEX and the NZMINT put some extra work on quality. Can't see much difference between BU and proof. Just on the frosted parts the proof one looks "cleaner" minted. But some of the BU just looks same as the proof. Really lovely coin 

They finally arrived. My first batch of Una and the lion bars. Fantastic design for a bullion bar, hope it will become a huge series in the next years, can't wait for the 3G bars.
And finally my 2 OZ 3G arrived. Small, but mine. 
I love days like today. I've watched for weeks people getting their coins and every day it was harder to wait.

Being fond of legend and as it's start of the series, "had" to buy them still not sure about the design, and RM bullion quality makes some funny things, like "additional eyes" for Robin on one of the silver coins :))) 

Nice one. ☺

And also, rounding out with some bullion 1 oz silver bars, three Una & the Lion 1 oz Silver Bar Minted, one placed in capsule and two left on OEM protective plastic. A bit disappointed in milking appearance that has already developed, even in packaging. But it is bullion silver and a quite nice design...

Recent acquisitions, thanks to all for the continued motivation and inspiration.
Firstly, an incredibly stunning 2020 5 oz Silver The Three Graces Proof. The relief and quality of this now timeless design is amplified in this 5 oz mintage.






 
And this year’s 2021 1/4 oz Gold Britannia Proof...



 
And also, in the incredibly low mintage like last year, the 2021 1/4 oz Platinum Britannia Proof...




 

1912 Sov & A Fistful of Silver   One decent Georgian full sovereign.   Each of the 1oz Britannias was free, with thanks to the family and friends offer.   'Nuff said.    

Received today, two very nice George V ‘small head’ Sovereigns.
The 1929 being the first of the ‘small head’ Sovereigns and the 1932 being the last year Sovereigns were minted in George V’s reign.
Thanks for these @Sparrowlegs4
 

Full set of PF 70 1oz silver QBs inc 2 I got today.
 

These 3 beauties just arrived from the US, my PF 70 QB set is now complete.😃
 

I know it's bog standard but it's my first piece of gold.
And my daughter playing with them

Decided to order these from LPM in Hong Kong to see if it would work out cheaper than from the RM. Any savings I made was eaten up by the processing fee charged my the shipping company Royale 😩. Made sure I experimented with something I wanted to keep long term. In a few years the different bars the RM release for this series will look great together. I popped one in a capsule and will leave the other in the mint packaging

Lucky. I just had one delivered today but for spot + 5% (goldinvestments). It's the exact same diameter as my gold weiner philharmoniker so hopefully one day I will have a full mixed tube. Maybe in 20 years or so. Heh.

Paid almost spot price for this CGT Free 1 oz Britannia , what a legend is this man @arshimo2012 
 

Thank you to @ChrisSilver and of course to prize sponsor @RoslandGold.
 
Great to come home and find this waiting for me.

Few more lovely bits this week thanks @Ceaiu @Sparrowlegs4 👍

My SOTD Decimal Day 50p from Coin Connection. Really like the the design which makes a nice change to the usual dinosaurs and fictional characters. Slightly different finish to the standard gold and looks amazing in the hand.



 
 

Another one for my “big boy” collection courtesy of @ogb777

So many nice examples here I thought I'd give an example of my recent purchases


From top left 2010 1/2 oz Koala, bellow that is the Empire 1/2 oz Fortini coat of arms ingots, 2010 1 oz Kook, 2014 1 oz Saltwater Croc, Funnel Web Spider, ABC (Australian bullion Co.) "The Eureka" Coin 999.5 (very nice), bottom is the 2010 koala which is my least fave PM coin and least favorite koala design.

It's a beauty, this Korean Phoenix. I couldn't resist back then and got the gold version. Good call, because I can't find them at any EU dealer anymore.
