Lovely couple bits. Thanks @ilovesilverireallydo always a pleasure my friend. And the mouse is another from the one and only silvertrader 

The 2015 Piedfort Silver Last Royal Arms £1
The current popular Royal Arms design used on the Royal Mint's bullion coinage was first seen in 2015 along with the 5th Portrait of HM.
As a Piedfort, "The Chunky Arms", a somewhat unsavoury spit 'n' sawdust hostelry in Windsor,  had a mintage of 2,000 as compared to 3,500 for its skinnier brother.

Just received my 2020 Kookaburras and they are by far the best ones yet in my opinion From ATSBULLION.com and I must say they packaged well, they even gave me chocolate 😂 

It's not much compared to what many folks here get delivered, but as a newby stacker its that little bit of my monthly pay packet that makes me smile!  The 2oz feels chunky and weighty and I'm really impressed with how perfect the condition is.  I've had a quick look under the microscope and the condition really is ..."mint!"
I'm thinking of starting to collect the 2oz 'Beasts', but with really high premiums on some coins I'm not sure if that's being a magpie or a sensible investor.  It's either that or save up till Christmas and get myself a 10oz!!
  

Thanks @terakris for the opportunity to
re-purchase this 2018 Stuck on the Day Sovereign.  
In a moment of lust of the Méxican Goddess in all her alluring .999 fineness, I sold both my 2017 Pistrucci SOTD and this 2018 Sapphire Anniversary Sovereigns earlier this year.  
Now back to being faithful to wonderful 22kt goodness, I can breathe a sigh of relief having had my fling with the Goddess.

These two Sovereigns are likely the most important Royal Mint Sovereign releases of modern times, the 2017 due to its iconic design, and the 2018 due to its tiny 650 mintage. 
Photo 4 exemplifies what the fuss is all about: the 65th Anniversary Privy Mark below exergue ground line, and the plain edge in photo 5.  And while we’re at it, let’s all marvel at the detailing of St.George & Dragon.  No wonder the thirst for Sovereigns is so enduring. 






 

This arrived today, and unlike the last I got that was sold on (claimed to be unc but looked whizzed) this is a real beauty, hard to show in the pics.
Its a Swedish 1 Kronor, 1941 dated and made of .800 silver, this style of coin was made from 1910 to 1942 and King Gustav V did not age a bit during all that time, using the same portrait on the coin for over 40 years, when it was changed finally he was shown as a pensioner, the reverse is one of my current favourites of all my coins with lots of intricate detail of the coat of arms of Sweden.
1941 was a lower mintage year for this coin with 2,183,338 million made this year alone.
I have shown it next to its bigger brother the 2 Kronor for comparison.

Ultra rare Pamp Disney Gold pendant

My rarest Kookaburra so far...1992 Eagle Privy. Mintage of 750!

You like Kooks...I got Kooks... sorry they are not nicely stacked..I need to have a sort out.
I can take some proper phots of any particular coin if anyone is ineterested. They are all 1oz coins with lots of Privies. 

A 2010 perfect Panda from @DavePanda that completes a date run. 
A special mention to his service. Royal Mail didn't deliever to the correct address, despite the very clearly written address. Dave contacted RM and soon tracked it down, he is a true gent!

Many thanks to @ilovesilverireallydo
