Is the Angle a proof or BU and is the coin in a cap in side the seal?   

It's what they call a "reverse proof". Not a proof in the commonly accepted fashion, ie polished shiny field, but definitely a better quality finish and detail to a common bullion coin. I can see them being popular.
They come loose within the plastic, no capsule.

SIlver has gone up about 23% in sterling this last 1/4 so in my opinion is not a good buy, I would wait for a pull back. I think silver may touch $18.This is just my take and I am playing it this way:- If we stay in the EU Gold and silver will drop back and the the £  and the euro will rally.  If Trump is defeated at the rep conference then Gold  will drop even more. If we leave leave the EU and Trump gets the Rep ticket Gold and Silver will rally even more sterling will weaken badly on the EU out news and so the the Euro. I'm playing we stay in the EU and Trump gets the ticket (he'll lose against H Clinton), I am not short Gold and Silver and do not mind taking a risk. I have opinions that I back unlike some journalist's on the TV or emails you receive.

I don't usually post photos, I bought this peso 20 from Apmex it took over a week to come it's only a 1959 re-strike at first it looks quite good condition but near the snakes head there are scratch marks, can our resident Mexican expert @Numistacker have a look at it please and advise if i should complain or let it go.  It was bought as advertised as there standard Aztec 20 coin but they sell it as nearly uncirculated (what ever that means).

no import duty on gold if customs forms filled in correctly.  don't ask how to do it I think someone on here knows

The 5 coin gold libertad set for 2015. I thought I was a stacker but I must be wrong. Looking forward to receiving this, ( this is a hedge against a temporary high spot price, keep telling self this and repeat. ) 

If I remember the Gold/silver ratio was around 90-1 in the 1990s nobody wanted silver I didn't even look at it, it wasn't even a consideration gold was cheap enough. 

I bought a few mouse a few years ago and most of them have milk spots on, not all. I reckon the Cougar a nice coin, a large amount will get milk spots. 

I saw a different sort of cougar close up without colourized make-up and beer goggle enhancements the morning after and it wasnt as pretty as that coin 

Not really stacking but I did buy a 2002 sovereign from Arshi the other day. Collectables only ATM. The gold money I'm holding as cash until this breakout is confirmed. I tell myself I am happy with my current position so can afford to wait and see. I would not be too bothered if the price rises while in cash, but I would be bothered if I bought more gold now, increase my average and then the price dropped again. 

A lot of people got carried away with the last Gold bull market, I bought back in to early so I am back in profit at just over £800 all in costs and if I sell a few coins my costs will go down.  I'm not sure how high the Gold price will go, I am now thinking around $1300 top and a bottom for the rest of the year of $1100 its just an opinion and just mine.
 Deutsche Bank have put a profits warning out early to the markets and are buying back bonds Italian banks are in trouble, the Japanese investors have to deal with negative interest rates, same as the Swiss. The USA FED the ECB (Euroupe in trouble) and China are all trying to out maneuver each over, this leaves Gold as a safe haven for investors and I haven't even gone into the BRICS yet! 
I think Silver is a different story and is being pulled both ways by Gold and Copper if copper wins I will invest in Silver.  As I have already have Gold and silver I am in no rush to buy and will buy a minimum amount just to tick over at the same time I am holding cash as there is a possibility the markets may crash down under 5000 at that point I will start to carefully look at investing for the long term (look). Remember the saying blood in the streets.

@Cointreau IMO the reason the ratio is different is because in 2008 there was a squeeze on Silver, a lack of supply and high demand . Today there is a down turn in demand for general commodities inc copper where a large proportion of silver is mined (where the price is set).  Gold on the other hand is generally not used industrially and is hoarded for wealth more so in times of world instability as insurance.  For the past 50 years the 30-1 ratio was extreme and so is a 80-1 ratio, you could wait 20 years or 6 months if you buy at extremes to trade the other way though it is a good strategy if you are young.  One thing to consider though the spread on Gold bullion is 6% to 7% on silver bullion its 33% (20% above spot to buy sell 87% sell) with dealers.playing the ratio game you could not sell on ebay or the forum enough silver coins at a time its just not feasible.
