A little something from Singapore. Thought @Pampfan might like it.

Today ( and recently ) I received 
 
1oz Geiger bar
1/2 oz year of the Pig
1/4 oz bar
 

Got this today, brought from the very nice member MikeSol

Yesterday this beauty arrived to go in the collection

Just ordered these 😁2015-2019 date run

I finally ordered the 2019 1/4oz Gold Proof Britannia  from the coin connection. 
Cant wait to receive it. 
 

Thanks @SilverStan
 

A nice little box from the European Mint arrived today.

oh and this from @SilverStan

Thanks to @arshimo2012 for another cracking deal. And @StackerNoob for the inspiration!
 

Afew small bars from @arshimo2012
 

Been after one of these for a while, for their novelty value. 1/10 gram gold note by SilverGoldBull. They got sold out pretty quick.

Beautiful coins, only %3 premium, not bad at all.

Last week ..but just got one into a deep capsule today: a pile of silver BU Yales. 
Also a gold 1/4  Yale ....sadly got a tiny visible mark on the Queen’s neck, so this will not be going for grading. Yale side is magnificent. 

Visit to Dublin coin fair today and some pick ups: 2 x 10 oz bars (love the ingot type one, although know nothing about it), an IoM half sovereign, the latest QB for my son's set and a coloured 2€ coin.
 

1880 Venezuela 20 Bolivares 


2nd year of issue since Venezuela joined the LMU in 1879. There were 3 variants: 18 apart, 18 clos and 88 tight. This one is probably 18 close and 88 tight? 

And it is also a 1 over 1 and 8 over 8 but that seems to be standard for this year. 

I received today the long awaited "Hephaestus" , third coin in the "Gods" serie from mint of Poland 

Some near spot LCS pickups - love these 1984 Engelhard rounds, two designs in same year. Never say no to a JM bar or the lovely old toned Pamp 1 ouncer. In original wrapper 1963 Canadian dollar (.8 silver).  
Then other pickups - proof Rwanda Nauticals from 2018 and 2017.  A slabbed Yale and my favorite - a 1993 Mexican 1 onza. Mayan design on the back is stunning! Happy days. 

Just bought five of the new Perth Mint 1oz silver Dragaon & Dragon billion coins (mintage 50,000). This is the third of this type of Perth Mint coin the first being the "Phoenix & Dragon", the second the "Tiger & Dragon" and now the "Dragon & Dragon". Not sure what they will do for the forth coin, perhaps an Australian theme - Emu & Dragon or Koala & Dragon??
Also bought the second of their Birds of Paradice 1oz solver bullion coin. 

Ding Dong,
 
Say hello to my comrades, Who have come all the way from Mother Russia 👏👏👏👏
 
 

Today I received some silver building blocks from forum member @OlliesSilverBars.
Recently I posted that I had bought some blocks made by Monarch, but was a bit disappointed that they don't interconnect with real Lego bricks. In another thread someone mentioned that Ollie's bricks do, so I bought some to test that out for myself.
As the pictures below show, the bricks arrived nicely packed in little black bags, and are the same size as standard 2x4 Lego bricks. They even have the tubes underneath that give Lego bricks their "clutch power" but on the silver bricks they aren't full size. But they do indeed stack with real Lego bricks so it's possible to make a structure mixing up the silver and actual Lego. Being hollow, the bricks are lighter than the solid 1oz Monarch blocks. 
Of course, the presence of such treasure inevitably draws attention from the criminal fraternity, although small-time criminals are likely to make blunders when in pursuit of their nefarious activities that are likely to bring them to the attention of the law. Better hope the king is feeling merciful...
 
 

Arrived yesterday. An 1863 Italian Vittorio Emanuelle II 20 Lira. Another LMU coin checked off the list.

Another $10 face to the stack

Received today from @sg86

Took me a bit of time, but hey
