2 ladies in one week. 250g to go with her 10oz sister. Thanks @arshimo2012. Glad I was on the forum when this beauty popped up

It doesn't get much better when the postman brings shiny things two days in a row!
I only received my first ever piece of gold yesterday to add to my stack and today saw a second piece of gold arrive to keep it company.
My 1/4 oz Gold Standard is joined by a stunning 1/4 oz Lion of England this time courtesy of @arshimo2012, who is an absolute gent it must be said.
Am I being swayed towards the yellow stuff from my beloved silver.....still not sure yet......not quite the same heft holding a 1/4oz of gold by comparison to say 20oz of silver......messes with the head a little! Time will tell. 
Just need to find a good quality capsule for the wee Lion and I think I could do with finding a good quality monster box to start keeping everything together too.
Also please note the impressive array of postage stamps.....made me smile 😊

30 x 1 oz Kangaroos from GoldSilver.be. Paid just over £20 each including delivery, seems to be the cheapest in stock 1 oz silver coins around! This is my first big purchase and the start of my silver stack. 
 
I'm really liking the kangaroo design and i'm looking to collect some of the gold kangaroos too! 😃
 
 

AlwYs wanted an Iranian Pahlavi - got one today at 1% over posted so quite pleased. Can’t wait for it to land.

A nice cool snowman...
I hope it doesn't melt away in this warm weather.

Once again temptation won me over

@ChrisSilver The ability to resize video like you can images on the editor would be handy I think

Something a bit different 

Even though I have a general dislike of private mint coins, I have a severe weakness for Pobjoy mint Isle of Man Sovereigns.
Proof 1980 IOM Sov received today-



 

these arrived today,bought cos I liked them,a lot. made by john pinches in a set of 48pcs.normally these are were available in bronze or silver however this set is different.i have searched and searched to find some information on this coloured set,which I am told has been hand gilt  / enamelled, and incredibly well done if true,and is a one off ( am not sure this is true ). it is stunning in the hand,the pics do not do it justice.each coin weighs in at 42grams and is 44mm wide.a heavy album.if you have any info,please do tell.

Well I've only gone and done it!
This is my first ever gold purchase to add to my stack!
Took the plunge a few weeks ago and it arrived this morning courtesy of Bullion by Post! Was 50/50 whether this arrived before another little gold something (which of course I'll share when it arrives...hopefully soon 🤞🏻) I have bought off a forum member recently but this one won the race to be 'first in stack'
Not the biggest piece I know, but hey, we've all gotta start somewhere.
It is stunning though! My camera work doesn't do it justice. 

Bit of a silver fest today
 

Some more kangaroos.

Tigers are like buses.
I generally don't have any time for privy mark coins, seeing them as just one more exploitative move to extort currency from collectors. As I already owned the Maple Wildlife set, I decided to make an exception;  the six matching privies will combine to make an attractive set of 12.
The pronghorn privy also sprang in this evening.
 
 

Received today from @arshimo2012. Absolutely stunning. Thanks again Ash.

Wonger [Below] when gold goes through $2,000 

the reality is no one has a crystal ball.
put your money where your mouth is and don't worry about what everyone else is doing.

Never 😉 

Depends if Manchuria can build two stadiums for both the blue and red side of the city. Home away from home.

I’d feel at home in Manchuria I think 😉 

More shiny things from @kiskelo and @ilovesilverireallydo

Thanks Mr & Mrs@BackyardBullion
Another Group Order Delivery received with gratitude. 
I wasn't expecting the first milky bullion added to my stack to come from the 2020 brits!
Lockdown hiccup at the Royal mint? Or just lucky so far? 
 

Adding a bit of variety to my stack.
Bought from the forum. Delivered today. Courtesy of @GavinDevon Top bloke👌
 

Today I received this beauty... Just a shame about the damage
