The two final (rarest) 1 oz koalas to complete the set.

Benin lion

My favourite ATB design. Not very spectacular but a good quality engraving.

"max relief", I like it. If there was any more relief, it would be an action figure!

I purchased it from quicktest UK, you can see in photos how its suspended below. I supose you could make a setup like this without spending like £100, but i'm too lazy for that, it's overpriced for what it is but they are the only ones who do it as far as i know.
For bullion dealers/coin dealers i'd suggest this : Densometer  product from china, which is a laboratory accurate automatic specific density balance, you stick the item on the top press a button then throw it in the tank below and press a button and it spits out SG value and can be programmed with various copper/silver ratios and other stuff.

2016 Kookaburras

My Odin arrived after a long wait.
10oz Kazakhstan Silver Irbis.

Just finished an auction 470 usd /309 gbp for a 1982/3 proof set in original box with COA no. 840 Happy camper. Local auction, so just go and pay and pick up in person.
Photos are of the actual set. Mintage 998 but in reality far far less as many people have lifted the proof 1 oz out and slabbed or capsuled. If the design gets changed next year (unsubstantiated rumour), this will go nicely with the 2015 7 coin set as a kind of bookend set. Either way, just a fun bit history to have. A complete set sold on ebay last year for 850 usd.
 
Scraped this data off the internet (Bullion Stacker) and this is just for the 1oz that was ripped from the set (good for those with sets !!!)
1983 P 1oz $838.00 12/1/2014 NGC PF69 UCAM
1983 P 1oz $889.00 3/1/2015 NGC PF68 UCAM
1983 P 1oz $630.00 8/17/2015 raw
 

I finally received my 3 oz Max relief Odin coin, pre-orded in Aug, got it today :S
A very nice coin.

Just returned from my mate's who persuaded me to swap some bullion sovereigns for this bunch of George IVs
 

There's one 1821, 3x 1822 and one 1824
One of the 1822s is getting close to EF ( I actually sold him this one last year!)
Sadly, the rarest one, the 1824, is in the worst condition of the bunch but I haven't got one so yea
So lots of duplication but he wanted to switch strategy, what else could I do?
I'll see what I can do re: photos but it won't be until the weekend.

Finally picked up my third Indian head gold $5 coin, this one a 1911. Enjoying it! 
Really should diversify and buy some other old US designs - but this is my favourite (so far) - so I keep buying them.
