Productive week.
Today I took delivery of various quantities of the following Bullion coins from STG:
2oz Nuie Turtles 1oz Perth Lunar monkey  1oz UK Year of the monkey  1.5oz Maples Leafs 1oz Red Tailed Eagles 1oz Libertads Also won a bid on eBay for a 2015 UK year of the sheep.
I have to say that the Libertads have quickly become my absolute favourites. They are absolutely beautiful, the design on the front is a classic (no need for annual revision), the detailing on the reverse is exquisite, and the sheen finishing is very distinctive. I love them!
 

 

Good day today, Went to the Giant Fleamarket in Shepton Mallet. Picked up an 1893 Veiled head Half Sov for £105, (less than HGM prices) and came back to find a cheeky bid I placed on an Ebay auction that finished during the day had been successful. So I won 570g of sterling silver spoons and ladles for a princely sum of £147, or in old money that's 16.95 oz at £8.67 an oz. Well thats me done for the month, all PM money has been maxed out

This may upset the coin purists, but I decided to up my physical stack with the addition of 4 sterling silver table spoons from Ebay, weighing in at the equivalent of 9.36 oz, for £117.40 delivered. Averaging out at £12.54 an oz. Seeing as two of them were Exeter silver, (I've a little collection of Exeter silver starting), I'm very pleased with the price paid.
Slowly getting rid of my high premium crappy coins, and bringing my average down. 
I actually like flatware and cutlery, unlike coins, where the collectors get heart palpatations when you mention the word Goddards, I can clean my spoons until my hearts content and most of the time it will actually improve the value of an item. 

Just bought a newly listed (eBay) 1/4 oz Lunar Series 2 Horse for £10 below spot. We shall see...
With the money back guarantee, I always figure it's worth a punt and the seller has 100% feedback on over a 1000 transactions. That suggests it will be OK to me.
 

2oz Ox. Just the elusive mouse left,
