I'm a little late to post this, but a lovely selection of Kooks from @Kookaburracollector who has been a real pleasure to deal with

With another package of Kooks just arrived from @arshimo2012 and about to be opened.
Kooktastic!!!

A little purchase from @DaveWheat89 for my stepson's stack.

Big fan of the coat of arms coin

Here's my wee collection from the last 7 months
 

Almost my full silver, except the sun,moon, earth, apollo and a few historical coins I couldn't carry..lol.

Had this come through the door today. It is a commemorative set of Canadian quarters that was released in 1992 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Confederation. Each quarter features an image chosen to represent one of the provinces or territories that make up Canada. This is a special one for me. I remember these quarters coming out in 1992 and trying to collect all of the cupronickel versions in change. I wasn't even 10 yet when I started collecting them in 1992 and it took years to get them all through change but this is the first set I ever collected. There isn't a lot of value here due to how many were minted but it is a very nice thing to have in hand. Lots of nostalgia for me.

My postman wants to take early retirement.........
The group order and hand poured silver arrived safe and sound from @BackyardBullion today. The photos below for the hand poured silver don't do them justice they are truly spectacular pieces to hold in hand and a big thank you BYB for the time/energy/effort in creating them.

My postman loves me lol

Sorry it has taken so long to get these posted...I think I have received something for everyone this go around! 
First off, a beautiful 2018 Mexico 1/2 oz Reverse Proof Gold Libertad!

Next up, a superb 1880 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle! Thank you very much, @richatthecroft!!

Adding another US coin, received an 1874 $3 Gold Princess...a rare piece bought as a lucky dip XF.

And, evidently the 2019 Gold Sovereign Matt BU isn’t any easier to take a photograph of...Thanks to the screw-type capsule. Welcome back screw-type capsules!! And “Thank you!!” to @TheCoinConnection, for sourcing this great addition to the sovereign collection!

Now, shifting over to some silver...Finally received the 2019 Apollo 11 50th Anniversary $1 5 oz Silver Proof!

The 2019 50p Silver Proof 20th Anniversary of The Gruffalo...

And lastly, for desert, a 2019 Tuvalu 1 oz Silver The Simpsons Donut Proof...This one is pretty cool in retrospect!

 

Today this beauty turned up thank you @SilverStan. Absolutely amazing workmanship by @Alun thank you for pointing me in the right direction 👍


Also had a 2018 high relief proof wedge tailed eagle to go with its family. All I need now is a 2014 and a 2019 so if anyone knows know where I could source these a nudge in the right direction would be great 😀. 

 

New beast 

Week starts well with a bit of vintage Perth Mint silver 😊 🇦🇺 

Received the 2019 wedge tailed eagle and I backdated the ZI:SIN series.

That's going to be it for me for a good amount of time if I have any self control!

Today (well, yesterday) I received two boxes of silver building blocks. There are six 1oz blocks in each tobacco-tin style box. They are branded Monarch Precious Metals- I have seen them mentioned on this site before.
As a lifelong fan of Lego, I was slightly disappointed to discover that the silver blocks are a bit smaller than a classic 2x4 studs Lego brick, so they can't interlock with Lego, but they are fun to stack with anyway (they interlock with each other just fine) and I am sure I will never run out of ways to stack them: two 2x4 Lego bricks can be connected together in 24 ways; with three bricks there are 1060 ways; with six bricks there are 915,103,765 ways and the number of combinations of 12 bricks is (currently) incalculable.
Here are a few pictures of the bricks and their discovery by Benny's Space Squad (characters from the recent Lego Movie 2) and their attempt to make off with the bricks before being caught- a tense moment ensues before everyone decides to make friends and that everything is awesome...

Nice little package arrived from South Korea today

After waiting two years .....I have eventually managed to buy a 2017 silver Krugerrand for under £30 inc postage...
Slowly catchy monkey 🐒 ..
I can’t remember how much these were at launch, but I do know I considered it way too much...2018 & 2019 to follow on next group order.
