This is a great thread
so many awesome coins!!
I ordered an ATB (America The Beautiful 5 oz. Silver Bullion version): Grand Canyon
a week or so ago and it came in today. This is my second Grand Canyon coin from 2010
(I'm an aweful photographer )
 
 


 
 

Somaliland Proof Tiger and Horse for my kids
.

2012 Proof Kiwi but has some toning
Somaliland BU Dragon and Tiger.  Rwanada Rhino and Russian Dragon Slayer
5oz 2014 High Relief Koala

I didn't realise the Howling Wolf would come in a seal assay card.  I should have known the Taku would since the Kiwi did.
All importantly, I got another bag of gummy bears with the silver purchases above.
 
Also had a delivery from Air-Tites.  Bought their Bar Capsule and A26 Capsule albums.

I don't have any of the 1oz to compare although I do have some on order.  From what I've seen, they have a very small diameter.
Few pics to compare the BU 1oz, 10oz and HR 5oz.

MCMXC (1990) AGE.  Lovely coin.  Added bonus of <375k mintage.

Werewolves keep your heads down

These also arrived today. 7oz 12 gauge, 1.5oz colt long and .625oz 9mm

The 25oz 20mm Cannon bullet arrived today.

A big thanks to @ChrisSilver for the heads up at HGM and @Cornishfarmer to phoning to check the dates of the Pandas.
 
Panda was in OMP but unfortunately, I like to put mine in capsules.  Couldn't resist not buying a Buffalo at yesterdays prices.

Just got a Marshall Islands 1994 Moon Landing proof for £13 delivered. Not a troy oz but still, can't complain! Came in a clear case too. Not my photos but the backs of Marshall Island coins are cool
 

Brits, Dragons, No Mules.

RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
 

 
My series of decent is completed!
 

Today I received the New Zealand 1oz black rhino, my new favourite coin and 100 1/2 oz lunar horses.
 
 

Just been woken up by Fedex.
 
The 10oz bullet is a beast

They're quite nice.  Caps are scuffs from being tightly compressed in the tube so I've taken mine out for recapping and photos.
 
 

These Panda rounds are new so here's a couple of pics.

2oz Bu lunar series 2 mouse
 

 
Not my favourite coin but a must have,to fill the gap in my 2oz Bu collection

The pic is of the note itself.  This note has a single colour (black) design.  Everywhere else (unprinted) would have been clear until the gold was ionized onto the polymer sheet.  You can see it's gold on the reverse but the tone changes where is has been layered over the artwork.

Thanks to Morezone, today I recieved my Gairsoppa rounds. My most expensive piece of silver bullion.
 

 
And I also recieved my 1924 Peace Dollar, 1948 Mexican 5 Pesos, and 1875 French 5 Francs. 
 

 
 

I managed to get mine for around £53 but only because I bought a few.  I'm too hoping it'll hold a premium in the future.  It is a very nice coin and I've already purchased a couple of proofs based on this.  I've never bothered with proofs before but if I see something unique in proof form which I like, I'm going to purchase it.  I have however set myself a limit of £60/oz which I think is fair at the high end of the spectrum.  £50 plus say 20% VAT is how I justify it.
 
Anyway...some of you will have noticed I buy a fair bit of stuff based on their novelty value.  Today I also received a 1/10g Aurum gold wafer.  It doesn't actually hold any value in my eyes.  There is no way anyone is going to extract 1/10g from it and even if there were 100s, would it even be worth it?  It cost me about £7.50.

Press the shutter half way down without pushing it completely down.
When the shutter button is pressed half way it will focus, wait until it focuses, then press it fully down to take the photo

Which button do I press half way?
 

It just came in today...
(someday I will learn how to use a camera )
 

 

Just for the novelty.  Also some coloured coins but I know most of you guys hate them
