Here’s my tiny stack so far. All paid for with my profits from crypto. Only one is a purchase from this site but I’m hoping to change that soon. 12.215 Troy oz of silver total. 

This has to be up there in the top 5 best breakfast cereals ever....
 

-2020 Kookaburra 10 oz piedfort BU
Today I received the 10 oz version
This design is starting to grow on me now. lol

Update - 1st June 2021
Thank you to everyone who took up their bars once again and a massive thank you to everyone on the waiting list!
I will be sending out messages to people on the waiting list today, check your inboxes if you are still interested and successful. 
I am afraid not everyone will be allocated a bar, but nearly everyone. 
Please bear with me with replies and responses, I will be sending out over 100 messages today and its going to be a little hectic for me to organise!
 

Waiting list again please

Firstly apologies for the extended downtime. It was much longer than expected as the forum has grown significantly in size recently. 

The work was taking too long, and as we are now in a position to be able to put the forum back online we have gone ahead and put the forum online again. Please note that there is still work going on in the background, and we will need to take the forum off line to finish the work (which we estimate will be sometime Sunday night but which should only last a few hours) 

You may also notice a 500 error issue again, if this happens we will restart the MySQL database. We currently believe that the spot price bar application is overloading the database. When we do the final move of files (likely will be sometime this Sunday night) we will not install the spot price bar application. We will be installing the spot price application on a separate test sever to see if that is indeed the cause of the 500 error issues, and also speaking with the developer of that particular application. 

Apologies in advance for the planned downtime this Sunday 9th May 2021, but the majority of the work should hopefully be behind us. 

2 1oz proofs and a lovely little 1/10 eagle from @GSTrading
Just awaiting my 5oz proof now 

Today I received the Queens Virtues "Victory" coin. It's the first coin I have bought from East India Company. Quite expensive for a 1oz coin but quite impressed all the same.
 

Got a couple of these in yesterday. Waiting for the capsules to arrive because ofc I didn't order them immediately 😅.

A BIG thank you to Sovereign Rarities for this absolute beauty. Fantastic customer service and always fair. A pleasure to do business with as always.
Looking forward to your upcoming auction at the end of the month 😄

The 2011 U.K. 🇬🇧 HRH The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh Piedfort Silver Proof coin. Total mintage 4,000
Tarnished but no milk 🥛 spots 👍🏻 

Three 10oz silver Horses. I order all of these 10oz coins now from @BullionExchangesbecause they ship them in these monster box sheets. It really helps keep the capsules in pristine condition! 🙂

Thought I'd show alternative view of my stack 

Not much to say apart from it’s a beauty!!
 
 

Many firsts today, thanks to @motorbikez!
first graded coin
first proof coin
first 1oz silver QB
Was really looking forward to this and it didnt let me down, it's beautiful in person!
i think i may change my collection strategy to just PF70 proofs of QB, and spend the rest of the time stacking brtis and sovs...
because of my obsession with perfect coins, its almost impossible to find flawless bullion versions of the QB - and had to return/resell many already - even when seller says they are "flawless"...
 

Great design and quality coin. 2021 Gibraltar 1 oz Silver The Barbary Macaque BU

Finally the Eagle has landed or should I say the Rooster. A massive 1 kg Lunar Rooster. Just a really awesome beast of a coin. This is the end of a long on/off journey covering 3 years and completes the final piece of the whole series of plain silver 2005 Perth Mint Lunar Roosters. 1 kilo, 1/2 kilo, 10 oz, 5 oz, 2oz, 1 oz and 1/2 oz and and just over 2 kilos in weight. 
Time to start saving for the gold set now 😀



 

Something pretty for me and another oz to add to the tube!! 

My Premium 2021 Britannia exclusive finally  turned up today. Looks really good in the hand and great detailing on the waves, armour and helmet.

The first of the new 'Icons of Insporation' coins. From APMEX/Niue. Seen a couple on here already and missed the proof that @Jamesd listed which was stunning, but this one us special because its mine! Being a science guy these are right up my street. Also picked up the new Kook and a Phil, but no-one needs to see them...
My phone/photography skills dont do it justice, hope the rest of the series is as good.

My 10oz arrived today.

One of the best 2020 designs, imo. Quite surprised the coin is still available from European dealers, and at good price. 

2021 White Horse of Hanover
