Recently received the tiny 1/10 oz gold Kook (need to get a post out after I return from travel)...it is a good little coin in quality Perth Mint fashion. Not a true stunner in the size and agree that a 1/4 oz minimum would have been more of a standout.
I can start a reverse date run, which I do like the 2018 design, even with the one leg perspective. Recommend BU or Proof or Proof High Relief? 

Five little birdies arrived today
They are lovely little things!
Unfortunately a bit too little for me. These are my first 1/10ths and it's not a size I like very much, just too small. I wish they'd done a 1/4 instead or even better an ounce.
They aren't perfect strikes either - all have a few tiny specks to the leafy left area, which is a bit disappointing given the yearly quality of the silver.
Still at not a huge premium five lovely little coins that add up to a half, always a happy day
@CadmiumGreen I hope to be wrong but this may not be the coin to get you hooked on Kooks, get yourself a silver ozer!

before sales numbers get officially published for 2019, I bought and received this US commemorative coin 🙂

Popped into my local coin dealer today, spent a little more than I planned but got 4 new dates, video will be made soon, will have to watch to have a closer look 😋

JM 100g bars coming along lovely 👌

We have a conclusion!
First off, thank you all for your contributions. It's super helpful having a community like this to share knowledge. Sorry if I missed anyone! 
I took the coins back to the dealer today who was actually very good about it. Conclusion was; 
1915 - good! It's tests as 22ct, which is consistent with the suggested findings from the specific gravity test. It's weight is also good. Per the consensus on this thread, it appears it may have a mint error mark. The dealer had no concerns with it. 
1903 - not good! The chap barely had it in his hand a few seconds before scowling, apologising and saying it shouldn't have been sold. He didn't give much more information than that, but it's going for melt and I took another half home as a replacement (which weighs and measures good). 
p.s. If anyone tells me the below is a fake I may have a heart attack 😨😂

A tiny add-on to my stack. 3 silver Baird rounds, Thanks again to @arshimo2012

Coin shop purchases

Got a package from Monarch

Pulled the trigger and Picked up 4 x 1oz krugs from sharps pixley this morning, this is the highest I’ve ever paid for bullion gold after taking a short break from precious metals.

So been waiting to post here until all coins have arrived throughout December/January  ect so here they all are! Enjoy  Also thanks to @Toshunya86 @terakris @augur @Shinus73For supplying such wonderful coins 

A small treat to start the year - on its way and will post pictures when it actually lands.  From a great Italian eBay seller I have used before for good quality Libertads, I got the  1998 bullion 1oz silver Lib, the key low mintage in the series at only 67,000. 
Here is the picture from the listing. Looks in good nick.

Well my Silver Una turned up today and.... 😭😭😭
Smashed capsule and the scratch to the right of her head is on the coin. Oh dear. 

The first two coins to land through the door in 2020. First the replacement for my 2oz Silver Proof Una and the Lion. Original arrived damaged a little under a month ago but this one is thankfully perfect. The second a 2017 quarter proof Sovereign. This is the sort of coin I wouldn't ever claim to be a purchaser of but when the price is right...

My safe deposit box!

Just WoW the 5oz high reliëf proof 2019 Kookaburra. 
Good start of 2020!
 

Libertad Friday, again. Thanks @Lindeman for this 2 Onza PP

First gold purchase alert! 
Ok, so it's only a 1/10th Britannia - but my toe has officially been dipped into the golden water. I didn't expect such intricate detail. Will definitely be looking to add more gold now i've taken the plunge. 
Shout out to @ilovesilverireallydo for the Black flip suggestion on another thread. 
 

That is my silver. I've started stacking 2 years ago and I'm in my mid 30ies.
I'm wondering how much space will it take me when it's time for retirement.

A bit different from their normal stuff, may even be worth grading!😆
 

A 2018 proof half sovereign. This one went through the Trial of the Pyx. 

These lovely ladies turned up today. Ordered from numismaticabilbao and I can only say what fantastic service. I used them when I lived in spain but first time since I've been in uk and the prices delivery and service are brilliant 
1988,1992,2000,2003 libertads 

It’s the first week and I seriously doubt am going to top these with anything cooler this year. 
 
Franklin Mint Sterling Silver Star Trek Spaceships- missing one out of the 12.

In celebration of 242 years of freedom...a little 2018 American Silver and Gold Eagles!!
