Managed to get an up to date set of the silver proof Queens Beasts series. The bullion are pretty, but these are absolutely stunning! 
Thanks to @Lr103 and @TheCoinConnection

Been a bit excited for the last few weeks, but today I finally received this 30 g golden beauty! Hugest of thanks to @Marc
Long story short, i'm a bit of a fan of The Phoenix (sentimental place from my uni+ days), hence my collecting of most things Phoenix such as the dragon and phoenix coins here! https://thesilverforum.com/topic/11158-today-i-received/?do=findComment&comment=247324
During my many discussions with @Marc i told him about my affinity for Phoenix coins and he showed me one he had. From that moment i wanted it. Just loved the super design with the Phoenix and obviously the gold! I've got to learn more about the history behind it too. I think he was very reluctant to let it go, but i'm chuffed he did!
Here its is, A 30 g (¥100,000) gold proof (PF70) coin commemorating The Enthronement of Emperor Akihito (Heisei). This emperor recently abdicated, the first time an emperor has done so in over 200 years. They are not rare coins, about 100,000 of them in proof, but they are very scarce outside of Japan. Now that the emperor has abdicated they probably hold a bit more historical significance! There's quite a story about the Japanese 20 g gold coin from this era, but maybe @Marc can tell that story in another post!

Picked these little 1gm bars at today’s spot. 
These Malawi coin bars have been on my radar for a while, they are usually a set of 7 , missing the Roo, Maple and Libertad. Seen them go for decent money on fleabay. 
Also a small 9ct gun, because, well why not? 

Continuing my 2005 theme, the latest addition. My first gold 50p and even better in the hand.
Always on the lookout for world gold dated 2005.

10oz Scottsdale - from Mrscottsdale (first of a kind for me, such a cool item)
2017 Sov - from onlyroadtoheaven (fantastic price, could have priced it a lot higher so really good of him)
Thank you to you both,

Massive Thanks to Peter @MrScottsdale for the latest 2 scottsdale 10ozers for my stack.. 
 
Always a lengthy process getting stuff from the states, but excellent communication throughout and fantastic packaging. 
❤

Cheeky little purchase at the end of last week.  ebay bargain through @h103efa. Thanks again bud. Supper service as always 👍 My first proof silver 

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

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.

Lovely mix of fractionals, but super happy with the 1/4 Onza and the SA 1R both of which have been on my list for ages, both low mintage coins. 
Got the roo and the panda at spot so happy with that result too.

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!

Yeh I payed £38 posted. And as I'm a little mental if I carry on I will need to fill one of my tubes of 10 with a date run. 😜😜
