I did a nice unboxing this weekend with a (for my standards) huge amount of silver and gold.
Gold sovereign, random year. I ended up with a nice 1902 one. Haven't read a lot about sovereigns, but I think this is a nice year to have 5 gilded silver coins: 2018 britannia, 2018 maple leaf, 2018 walking liberty, 2016 & 2017 philharmoniker 2018 Proof rectangular dragon: really cool presentation box 2018 10 oz Valiant 2019 Queens beasts falcon (also dragon and lion so I have 2 of each) 2018 Tokelau Equilibrium: looks better than expected after seeing the video review posted on here a while ago. 2018 St. Helena Spade of Guinea 2017 & 2018 Cayman Marlin: I like that they switched the coins, so with 2 of each you get to see both sides with the package intact. 2014 & 2015 Burundi proof History of Aviation: Messerschmitt & Kawasaki, nice quality boxes

I ordered a whole lot, total of about 1 kg of silver in different coins and a bit of gold. Bullion, proofs, gilded. Really looking forward to the unboxing . It arrived at the distribution point already, but had to postpone the actual delivery to friday....
Finally get to see my beasts Falcon. And most looking forward to my 10 oz Valliant and the proof rectangular dragon.

I'm wondering what I'm getting by the way. I think it should be just over 1 kg, but the shipment information says 26 kg... Maybe I'm receiving the group order

Finally got the 5 oz silver proof Lion to complete the current queens beasts series.

Last PF 70 to complete the set & a very big thank you to Sal from the US for sourcing this for me & Quicksilver 1934 for sending to me.😎
 

There are a lot of members on the forum that actually do not post, not everyone likes to reply to posts publicly. These members often do read a lot on the forum and purchase from members trade listings via PM.
 
@Bullionaire the above quoted is probably the best solution?

Good points made then if the new people signing up are genuine and have an interest in learning and investing in pm's then I'm sure they won't mind waiting a year to participate  

Personally I think you would be better barring new members from this year's draw , anyone that signed up after this thread was started is ineligible for this year's. Just too much faffing about and potential for someone being ripped off . 

I received this replacement 100oz Britannia bar from APMEX.  To their credit they replaced to bar without hesitation even though it's very close to spot bullion!  It did take a while as they sold out and needed to buy more.  I included a "before replacement" picture below, or you can look back in the thread history.
 

This is what I got from Atkinsons Bullion when I ordered one of their "Bullion 100g Silver Bar" mystery deals. I was hoping for a minted bar but now that I have received this cast one I think its pretty cool and well worth the £60 inclusive price.

 

Incoming.
 
 

The 2018 Tuvalu unicorn 2 oz round from Perth mint. Dont tell the wife. Not cheap. 

From Silvertrader.uk
Great box for the size of the bar

Picked up today from the post office after a week away in Croatia. My first 2oz QB falcon plus a 1oz Geiger silver bar. I'm impressed with the packaging for the Geiger bar as it's quite sturdy. Was only expecting it to be in a blister pack at best. It's given me ideas to get more as Christmas presents for family members.

Picked up some brits and mixed sovs on the dips, also got 2 more Brits and Falcon & Bull QB but not arrived yet!

Wonderful Nelson Mandela Centenary coins. 
 

Got my hands finally on a "home-graded" (opposed to bulk graded) MS70 Dragon. They are actually as hard to grade as Griffins (16 vs. 19) but those bulk submissions distort the figures quite a bit...

Now just waiting for the grading results for my Unicorns – Bull and Falcon waiting eagerly. 

My Australian proof Sovereign from @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer bonanza week (hope we see more offers/deals like that in future). Plus I got two random year maples that were both 2012 and spotless! Literally (for all the talk of milk spots on maples, I've bought a fair few random year ones and none of them have been milky yet.) Anyway, back to the main attraction. This Sov a little stunner:

I love quirky silver, and these are absolutely cool. They look vintage, but they are 2018 issues.
