Received these Silver & Gold Libertads and two very nice display boxes from @PolarPanda today- with thanks for the speedy delivery and bomb proof packaging. 
The 97 & 98 key date Silver 1oz Libertads leaves me tantalisingly close to the 1982 through 2019 Bu date run- just the 2007 to source.  
The 2017 Bu Gold Libertads, leave me very close to sourcing almost one of everything the Banco de México produced in 2017- just 3 more items to find.  The 2017 1/4 Oz Bu is one of a tiny 500 mintage. 







I’ll have to be on the lookout for more boxes 🙄

La la la...la la la....Libertad!
Received these beautiful lumps of Gold in the last few days- a spotty 2011 1 Onza Bu from Atkinsons, I should add that I was aware of the Spots prior to buying- but at +3% it’s worthwhile  getting the wire brush out. 
The 2016 & 2017 1/2 Onza PP’s from @muenzdachs thanks Sören.  The two 1/2 Onza Reverse Proofs from  Emanuel at @RoslandGold.
The imposter is the 2018 1/2 Onza Bu, also from Rosland- a bit of a miscommunication with Emanuel saw its arrival - but the replacement 1/2 Onza PP is on its way.  Just working out a way of raising the cash to keep the Bu- great sales strategy Emanuel 🙄😂






My favourite size the 1/2 Onza 

After last week’s shenanigans, along comes @kneehow2018 to restore your faith in humanity. A gorgeous 2012 full sovereign at a fantastic price AND a QB Lion graded PF70 UCam thrown in for free! What a way to start a damp Tuesday😊😊

Received today from @kneehow2018today, Big thanks, lovely looking coins. 

Hello, everyone. I recently received this beauty. This is my first gold coin (although I have gold bars from before). The camera doesn't deliver the right colour. I was expecting more coins from another order, but the delivery company is taking their time.

The last day of The Royal Mint’s 2019 Advent Calendar! Did I receive one of the half Sovereigns??? No...but a very nice 2019 Christmas Medal.



 
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

Received these today sent by @kneehow2018 8 x 1 oz Gold 2016 Britannia's very well packaged thank you.
I did not own any foreign Gold coins or Britannia's but picked fair amount just in the last couple of months.

Have a Libertad Christmas Everyone 
Thanks to @rob6 for the 2015 Special Set- first year issue of the Reverse Proof.  And also thank you to @MickD for the 2014 Set.  
Wonderful additions to my Libertad collection. 









 
 

Libertad Friday.
Thanks to Sören of @muenzdachs for this little lot of Banco De México's finest Silver. 
The 2017 35th Anniversary of the Libertad Silver Bar & Coin Set is a step nearer to me holding one of each of the releases that the Mexican Mint produced that year.  




 





 

A nice pair of coins from @kneehow2018 - top quality swag as usual from the Doc. 
Gold and silver Kiangnan Dragon dollar restrikes.

Been saving up for months to get my first 1oz Krugerrand. It’s a beauty. I save a bit on the side each year to get ONE nice coin. This is this years choice. Shame it’s gone to storage already.

Beautiful 

Another Black Friday purchase arrived today.  2019 1 oz platinum Britannia.  My first plat coin, as the rest of my platinum purchases have been in bar form and I rarely find platinum coins on sale for a low premium.

Libertad Saturday 
Wow.  Deal done with @kneehow2018 24 hours or so ago on the Gold 1/2 Onza Libertad and dropped on the doormat this morning- thank you.  The 2019 1/2 Onza Libertad PP is only a 650 mintage, 500 of which are in sets. 
The fractional Silver set from a German eBay seller. 

Oh flower of Scotland...
Mintage of 275.

So all you need now is a perfect proof 1/2 oz 

Received these 2016 1/20th Libertads today care of @ilovesilverireallydo Thanks. 

I bought this 2017 1 Onza Libertad from @kneehow2018 in Summer 2018, But only submitted it recently- back today from NGC- and very pleased with the PF70 UC result.



And at last, the 2017 Libertad 5 coin ‘set’ altogether.  
All bought individually from the Silver Forum over the last 18 months or so.  Thanks to @augur, @austack, @kneehow2018 & from the USA @mongo28 for parting with them. 



 
 

A new teaser video by the Royal Mint is up.
It seems rather random that they would do this iconic design for 2020. I’d have thought they would save something special like this for HM’s platinum jubilee which is literally 2 years away. 
 

Low mintage loveliness.

Received two Gold coins from Chards today, 1 oz Gold Britannia 2008 (+4.25% spot) and Mexican 50 Pesos (+1% spot). Final picture all the coins received this week (averages just under 3% over spot) and I am still hunt for 1 oz Gold Britannia 2001/2003 and 2007 to try and complete date run 1 oz Gold Britannia's that have unique designs in bullion.

Not strictly today but @PandaCoins hooked me up with these 1gm gold bar capsules that make my orphaned bars much better 😂 and I found a little container they all stack in nicely 

On the face of it (or Obverse) take your pick! having received these coins today, all 1.51oz of them, should have been one of those days as you will have all experienced- collector or stacker alike- a day that fills you full of warmth and optimism that some point in the future, reward for your hard work and investment risk will be rewarded. 
Unfortunately, and an understatement, receiving these coins from two different dealers hasn’t met my expectations- and that warm feeling has not being forthcoming.
I have had redress that has left me satisfied from one of the dealers however, the other one has left me- it’s difficult not to swear at this point- extremely disappointed to say the least. 
I’ll put up a thread later with a thorough explanation of my cryptic post, so that everyone here gets a flavour of what Customer Service actually means to two particular dealers. 

I've still got it! 10 beautiful ladies turn up at my door  😉......
