Ding Dong,
 
Say hello to my comrades, Who have come all the way from Mother Russia 👏👏👏👏
 
 

Ok, it’s  never going to be worth owt, but this was a great pick up at just over a tenner. 

Just bought five of the new Perth Mint 1oz silver Dragaon & Dragon billion coins (mintage 50,000). This is the third of this type of Perth Mint coin the first being the "Phoenix & Dragon", the second the "Tiger & Dragon" and now the "Dragon & Dragon". Not sure what they will do for the forth coin, perhaps an Australian theme - Emu & Dragon or Koala & Dragon??
Also bought the second of their Birds of Paradice 1oz solver bullion coin. 

Today I received some silver building blocks from forum member @OlliesSilverBars.
Recently I posted that I had bought some blocks made by Monarch, but was a bit disappointed that they don't interconnect with real Lego bricks. In another thread someone mentioned that Ollie's bricks do, so I bought some to test that out for myself.
As the pictures below show, the bricks arrived nicely packed in little black bags, and are the same size as standard 2x4 Lego bricks. They even have the tubes underneath that give Lego bricks their "clutch power" but on the silver bricks they aren't full size. But they do indeed stack with real Lego bricks so it's possible to make a structure mixing up the silver and actual Lego. Being hollow, the bricks are lighter than the solid 1oz Monarch blocks. 
Of course, the presence of such treasure inevitably draws attention from the criminal fraternity, although small-time criminals are likely to make blunders when in pursuit of their nefarious activities that are likely to bring them to the attention of the law. Better hope the king is feeling merciful...
 
 

Another $10 face to the stack

That's a beauty. Love the art-deco styling.

My new baby arrived in all her beauty.
 
 

This beautiful pamp gold honeycomb bar found its way into my hands today. I have seen this bar a lot in silver but this is the first one I’ve seen in gold. Very rare bar
 

From @Sovereigns lucky dip. Couple of my faves:
I was lucky enough to get a 2oz QB

 
And it took me a while to work out what princess Leia had to do with the Titanic 😛

Received today, my first graded coin to start my new collection ☺️     
The coin was purchased form Drake Sterling.
                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 
 
 
 

5oz pamp silver bar 
to join the collection.. building up nicely 👍

Nothing rare about this Bronze Medal but it was great to pick this one up in such delightful condition, both the medal and the case. 



 

A Big Thank you to @ChrisG Awesome piece & wonderful service bud  

Decided to start a few collections. 

On my meager military pension I treat myself to silver now and then ( when i have the pennies to buy) to add to my very small  stack of silver and coins
Today I received 3 items
My first 1oz Oriental  Britannia
A 1/2oz  kookaburra silver Bar
And a 1gram Silver sun coin 
Only have my cheeop smart phone to take a pic at this time but that too will improve over time

It’s a nice version, if a little dirty. I’m terrified about cleaning and so just leave as is. I would like to get them all sent off and cleaned and slabbed but the costs would outweigh the value, I think. Cheers.

That's a beauty. Love the art-deco styling.

I was very happy to have picked this 2009 Kookaburra up on eBay on Sunday evening for just £16.00 (plus VERY modest P&P charges)
 

New arrival Vintage 80’s JM Canadian made TD Bank 1 oz bar, Just look at the fabulous patina 😋

Managed to snatch this for top end of 3 digits posted (penny digits) difficult to find any standing liberty quarters in this condition without paying a bit

I got the last of my beasts and a box for them on the same day.

Still building up my fledgling stack. 
Started late with the QB and a bit backwards! 
Received this today courtesy of @Abyss, thank you.........I am now 100% up to date 😁

Received Perth Mint 2019 Australia Aus$100 Platinum Dragon bought last Sunday (crappy phone pic)
