Couple nice silver bits have arrived through the door here. A 2017 2oz Canada 150 Iconic Maple silver proof coin and a 1997 silver 1oz maple. Happy to have finally added the 97 maple to the collection at a price I was happy to pay.

Another bit of gold to add to the other bits. Thanks @Guybrush
 
 

 
 

I’ll happily say it again ... 

Typically I don't go for proof coins but sometimes you see something you have to have. 
 2016 RCM Canada Geese on a Maple Leaf Silhouette They're only available until the end of July so act soon if you like these.
 
I really wish the RCM would do a 1 ounce and 10 ounce bullion coin of a Canada Goose every year with a new design. I think an RCM Canada Goose could be every bit as strong as Perth Mint Kooks.
 
 

Dutch Groupie 😉🤤

Generally okay but obviously a lower quality standard than the Valiants I got at the same time (compare the rims of each picture), the rims have a little bit of 'scuffing' here and there on the milled edges and there's the occasional scratch on the rims (see just under the 'G' on my picture for one of the worst) - probably bumping together in the tube as there's a bit of space for them to move about. Both faces seem pretty much perfect in terms of condition on those in my tube.  

A couple of tiddlers!
A 0.9999 gold 1 gram Canadian 50 cent Maple Leaf dated 2016 and a 0.999 gold 1 gram Chinese 10 Yuan Panda dated 2017  (both compared to a GB 5p piece).

First forum purchase arrived today, couple of very nice TSF 1Oz bars from @BackyardBullion

Ordered 5 of these medal trays, fits most of my collection in one so alot more varieties needed to fill

A trio of 1Oz Valiants and a full tube of 2017 Voyaguers - fancied a tube of something (have been a bit of a magpie pciking up things in 1's and 2's as I spot something pretty) an these came in at a good price/nice balance for me.
Think the valiants look really nice in the flesh, might have to look at getting a 10Oz.

Been after one of these for a while, now I have one thanks @Shinus73

My weekend purchase just arrived, a very nice pre-owned 2000 Double Sovereign 

It’s been a while since I commented in this section because it’s been so busy for me. However today I received a number of beautiful coins and wanted to share the love.
1562 milled Elizabeth sixpence
1605 hammered James sixpence
1684 Charles II sixpence
1703 Vigo Anne sixpence
1921 Peace Dollar (it completes my collection but will probably be swapped for a better version when the opportunity arises!)
My sixpence collection is now more or less done. I will be looking for higher grades in the cases where I’m not content. My attention is now going back to the stack and filling some tubes.

2019 Royal Canadian Mint 10 ounce Silver  Orca/Killer Whale

Well I can't say that this 1/2 sov from eBay wasn't well packaged.

Today’s arrivals!

Received the new Destiny round "Mors Draco" proof and antiqued (the two on the right).
I was going for the complete set in antiqued, but picked up some proofs along the way.  Still deciding if I want to call it here or pickup the blacksmith and whatever comes next.

A prussian double crown in a rather impressive grade. 1888 is also the three emperor year with Wilhelm I marking the first Emperor to reign this remarkable year. 

Received this today courtesy of @MrScottsdale
The second one of these stunning bars to get added to my ever growing stack!

Certainly no where near the grade of the previous but still a decent condition.
