The latest 5g Panda Notes from the Nanjing Mint.  This time there are 3 variations.  Normal, coloured and relief.  It's hard to see in pics but in hand, you can clearly see that the pandas are not flat in the relief version.  The same goes for the temple on all the notes.  It's still early days but in a few years I can see these being very impressive.

Like many Forum members - taking the opportunity to pick up shield back gold  sovereigns, with the traditional premium over spot seeming to narrow with the recent upwards trend in spot price.  
Got an 1857 (London) and an 1879 Sydney mint -both Vic Young Head.  Both are in better shape than the only other Vic shield I have - which was an 1872 S from back in March. 
Also a nice little Aussie 1/10th gold 2009, with one of the best Kangaroo BU designs (in my view). 1/10th is as small a coin as I want to get, - I only have either Britannia proofs or these Kangaroo/ nuggets in that fiddly size! 

Its just under, I think I paid under spot landed. 
A guy was selling on eBay, it looked fake due to the camera angle. I dropped the guy a line and he said he was more than happy to refund me if I didn't like it and he had no issues with it as he had bought it from a Jewellers. Diameter is right and weight was dead on so pretty chuffed with it.
Its not for sale though, I lived in Holland twice and always have loved the the 5 and 10 Gulden.

1912 5 Dutch Gulden for £84 landed. 
This is going in the private collection, Ive wanted one of these for a very long time

Well I I bought in 2014 and 2015 after a lot of hating silver and saying so on this site, i bought enough to just balance my portfolio. The thing is STG had libertads cheap before they were pumped to high heaven and I picked up for £13.25 per oz and Philis for £11.80 per oz. 
I can make money on them. In the whole Silver coins and bars in the hand the margins are just to high to make money on, i don't mean £20 here and there, a move like we have had in the precious metals should mean we are all quids in but some are not. this should be a wake up call for all metal buyers!!!! 
I myself have been buying copper from the scrap yard at 1.5% above fix  for the last year

Just picked up a roll of Lunar series 1 Tigers for 44 and change a piece, the guy has saved me a roll of Ox series 1 for 38.70 a piece. 
That will bring my investment to pretty much my 5k target and thus is the end of my stacking journey for now.
150 Pandas 40 Lunar horses 20 S1 Tigers and 20 S1 Ox. With an average of £21.57 (Ouch :P)
its been a pleasure guys, I will probably disappear back into the world of shares soon
Oh BTW, 
If anyone wants an Ox or a Tiger the guy has spares that I can pick up...

4x 100g poured Scottsdale silver bars, from US. Have a couple of these already, but got the chance to pick up a few more. Such a perfectly formed little bar, each a little different. I should really be sticking to the plan and buying gold, but every now and then the silver tempts me. More Scottsdale stuff arriving over the summer as well. 

Just took a punt on a 1906 $10 Liberty Head from Atkinsons, hopefully it will be in nice condition.

Part 2 bought from HighlandTiger June 13th for 210/105
1967 sov
1912 half sov 
Busted them out of their folders and now breathing and resting gently with their brothers and sisters in some plush velvet.

Received it today, very fast shipping but the bar was banged up and stuff so i PM'd the seller and he offered me a £15 refund which is very fair i think. So i got a 10oz scottsdale stacker for £130. 

Its a stacker bar buddy, cant wait to get it. I like the look of the tombstone, maybe it'll come up at a good price sometime
