Credit where due. 😊
I used to like you... 😉

Just want say thank you for a successful transaction to @silversky today I received
2x 1oz Queens Beast Lions in these amazing superior Air-Tite brand capsules 


I have 4x Lions, 6 Griffins and 1 lonely Dragon. Already made arrangement with another seller who is not a Silver Forum member to sell their Lion and Dragon next week. Gold stack continues to grow with the mighty Queens Beasts.

I received this replacement 100oz Britannia bar from APMEX.  To their credit they replaced to bar without hesitation even though it's very close to spot bullion!  It did take a while as they sold out and needed to buy more.  I included a "before replacement" picture below, or you can look back in the thread history.
 

Ten little beauties from @StackSellRepeat. 😍
 

Thank you @mongo28 for sending me this wonderful coin all the way from the USA, it spent 6 days in UK Customs on its 9 day journey, but well worth the wait. 
And with thanks to @augur, @Roy& @Numistacker for all their help and advice on Libs and @KevinJam for signposting me to this coin listed for sale in the US & Canada sales threads in the first place. 
And a big thank you to @kneehow2018 for cementing my enthusiasm for the Libertad by selling me the 2017 1onza in the first instance. 
Sorry about the length and the rather gushing sentiments of this post, but not only am I absolutely thrilled with this coin, which concludes my 2017 Proof Libertad collection, but receiving it reminds me of just how lucky I am, and how valuable it is for all of us, to belong to this Forum. 



 
 

Please could you send the wasps in a box with vent holes and not a bag , the last bag you sent me a couple had not made it 😁

Just say thank you @richatthecroft the 1 oz Proof Silver Queens Beasts arrived safe and sound today. As I have never owned proof coins before and because large premiums I was on the fence about purchasing them. Consider me off the fence I love these coins in their Royal mint presentation boxes .







I should receive the Unicorn next week and I will update this post with the photos. Thank you smooth easy transaction.
Unicorn has landed . My first proof sets QB Silver 1 oz series.

1957 Sovereign (the one with the higher reed count) from @KDave

Latest addition to my ‘special’ design Sovereign collection.  Twice the delight with this Piedfort. 
Thank you @arshimo2012

I want to say thank you @richatthecroft selling his spare 1 oz Gold Queen's Beast Lion so well packaged and arrived safe and sound today.

Added it to the Gold stack. My plan QB Gold coins pass then down to my son (only 2 years old right now) as part of his inheritance.
In the last group order I was missing 5x 1 oz silver Australian saltwater crocodile coins by the European mint. These sent directly to me by the European mint
The look amazing especially next to the Australian funnel spider 1oz coins purchased GoldSilver.be
 

Received this beauty from Richard the other day but this is the first chance I've had to get it photographed and uploaded.

 

I got my first 2 swiss 20francs in the mail last week and loved them so i decided to splash some cash and went to the local coinshop this morning, this is what i got, 4 vrenelis, 1 helvetia and a napoleon(since there were only 5swiss francs). Sorry for the bad pictures, i prefer a cheap phone and 5 of these instead of an iPhone. 
 

Yes I was expecting the restrike but over the moon with first year strike and it's in good shape too 

Yeah, not a restrike like the 59!!

Cool year! First, I believe?

Cool year! First, I believe?

Well today I received what I would say is the most beautiful coin I will ever own and was on the top of my wishlist for a long while.
1917 Mexican gold veinte pesos 15 grams of .900 au.

Just had this delivered, bought from Chards.
Quite common but still a nice coin to add.
 

Very nice! Where did you get it? 😉

Drinking in the Sun in October is no good Coinster,s  

Bansky achieved the ultimate statement yesterday with “Banksy painting Girl With Red Balloon 'self-destructs' after £1m sale at Sotheby's”...
https://news.sky.com/story/banksy-painting-girl-with-red-balloon-self-destructs-after-1m-sale-at-sothebys-11518809
I find this incredibly amusing, and can just imagine the reactions by those in the auction house...just awesome! 
Further, by extension, as mentioned in the article, I could see how the artwork would be worth even more, as I think it is now even more poignant to Banksy’s position in the art world.

In a few years time I'll buy a small farm or a house with a small plot and a shop so I can do a little homesteading.
So when the time comes that I need a lifeboat, I will have one. If the time doesn't come, all the better, got myself a nice new hobby then.
I am half way of paying off my house in country of birth, so I can rent that out for extra monthly income.
My silver stack is growing nicely and I have some cash. 
I also want to build my own boat, as an ex navy sailor it's always been a dream of mine and I would have literally a life boat.
 
I will be relying on myself if it becomes necessary, but I am not hoping it. I don't want the world to crash.
You can prep a little and also enjoy the boom we have now. Personally, I enjoy it with boobs and booze.
It's great man, I hope it last forever.
