2000 RAM Silver Proof 1oz $1 Kangaroo   A lovely example of this coin from a maximum mintage of 9,972.   This particular design, the first of three by Vladimir Gottwald, depicts a kangaroo leaping across a recessed silhouette of Australia.   The corresponding frostie from the same year is shown for comparison in the lower photographs. A clear win for the proof imo.     

Nice 1881 $10 Eagle from HGM

Thanks to @matt1r for the graded(and the wee extra) and to @SilverStan for the bars.
Picked up the Thalers off e-bay for just £17:40 each posted,which isn't much more than their scrap value. 😁

Two Half Ounce Monkeys and two half ounce Goats from 2016 via Reddit.

Another wee delivery

Many thanks to @ChrisSilver + @RiverbankSilver

Awesome bars from @Troy77 arrived today.
The antiqued finish on that left hand one is just unreal - it's like a ruthenium finish or something.
Thanks a lot! Also to @Madstacks for letting me have the comet bar. I love it. The gold highlights really make it. These are works of art!
And I'm guessing the elephant was a test run?! Love the colours!

The 2020 Lunar Mouse NGC MS70 set.. 1 to 5oz... Also found the 1/2oz which is on his way. 
Just missed the kilo for the full set. 
 

A big thank you to
@ChrisSilver for the stunning 2006 year of the dog

 @SVcollector for the Krugerrand is lovely 

Been after this one for a while, but some minor scratches mean it won’t be getting graded.

Next in the “Innovation in Science” series...the Rosalind Franklin 2020 UK 50p Piedfort Silver Proof Coin.

Also, just for fun, received these five 2020 Niue 1 oz Silver $2 Star Wars: Mandalorian Mythosaur Coins. With the seemingly ongoing destruction of the Star Wars franchise with the latest trilogy release following up from the prequels to the original trilogy, they finally got a good storyline right with the newest series, The Mandalorian.

Thanks to @jbh, adding this wonderful 1943 Mexico Gold 50 Pesos. Of note this is a one and only variety of the Gold 50 Pesos, with a mintage of 89,000, and were minted on the occasion of the centennial of independence. The denomination does not appear on this coin.
