Greeting the New Century Dragon Note Commemorative Scaled-Down replicas in 1.8g Gold & 2g Silver.  I already have one in silver but I could only manage to find the gold in this set so had no choice but to pickup the gold as a set.  Issued in 2015 and fully authorised by the People's Bank of China and produced at one of their banknote printing and minting facilities.  Only 2000 gold were issued so was quite difficult and very very expensive to get hold of.  Silver had an issue of 8000 so was easier to obtain.

Decided to back fill the Shanghai Mint Lunar 80mm Brass Medals.  I'm not up to date.
The dragon was ridiculously expensive.  It came in a broken pouch but I was expecting it to be opened and loose anyway.  It too me forever to make sense of the back.
The Rabbit was the first release for this cycle.  Originally 5k mintage but subsequently dropped to 1k and the styling of the back changed.  Came sealed in the pouch and again, I was expecting it to be opened and loose and is also the cheapest of the series.

So this is a little bit overdue. But I only fiddle my coins when I have the time to really enjoy them.
My WMF2017 pick ups. I should have made better notes at the fair. Because now I can't remember what I paid for some. Don't have receipt from all the sellers, just the big ones.
Some maybe don't care, but I know from myself that I wanted to know where the prices lay on this event. Some have really good prices, some are dreamers and some you can haggle with.

2011 China Lunar Rabbit 1/10th Gold & 1 oz Silver Commemorative Coin Set

Thanks to @calandlew1 for iron man. Looks great with his newly antiqued brothers.

i was weak. i consider this one of the nicest silver coins the Royal Mint has produced.
i got one of the 5oz proofs and 3 of the 1oz proofs. Thanks to @Jackobayliss

I saw Atkinsons were selling a few Johnson Matthey 1oz bars so i decided to get a few.
 

A couple of Lunar 1 1/10ths.  Capsules were damaged but after pointing it out to the seller they refunded the cost of replacing the caps.

i spotted this 1kg Lunar Snake on Atkinsons.  It was a lucky dip and i think i got lucky.
Speaking of Lucky i bought a  2016 Shenyang Mint 120th Anniversary Panda 500g silver medal from him. 
I know another member bought one in the past and posted it here but i was a little surprised that others weren't more interested when for example none other than NGC gave it a glowing writeup.

 The detail is fantastic and i feel sure will become a significant Panda collector's holding in future years.

They are a little marked and grubby but all good.

2015 Lunar Goat 1g Gold and 5g Silver Notes from Shanghai Philatelic Corporation. 
Temple Pandas in Silver and Gold.  They should have made the gold larger to retain the original detail.

2 packages left China within minutes of each other presumably on the same flight etc but only one scanned in the UK.  Both turned up today so a bit of a relief.
2017 Round Belly Panda Rooster

 
2017 5g Silver Colourized Rooster Note in fancy packaging.  No idea where it has come from so will need to have the COA translated for clues.  A stamp was included with the folder so I'm going to guess one of the regional branches of China Post.

Still waiting on my 2017 150 g to arrive from Lucky, but these arrived... I'll be dealing with one seller as a capsule broke during shipping and a milk spot was not mentioned...

Some coins for my private collection. I love them equally

Some US pickups, some from MCM (silver slabs and QB griffns), Choice Bullion (fractional gold 1/10, 1/20 Libertads), Son Montuno and Coin Shoppe (silver Libertads proofs) and and some today from my favourite coin shop in CA - Oxbridge Coins in San Francisco (quarter eagle and the 1967 sov). 
Unluckily though some of my other orders got delayed and will have to rest in the US until my next trip - so I will post those when I get them! 
Pleased with the gold Eagle quarter (my first), - and I love the detail on the MS70 Dragon & Phoenix. Also my first ever silver Panda...probably will not be collecting them though. 

3 x Rwanda Lunars thanks @mondy41 and a 2002 full sovereign from Atkinsons very disappointed  with its condition .

2017 150g Proof Silver Panda

2 NGC MS 70 graded 2017 pandas
 

Got a 2017 silver QB proof from Arshi
Arshis packaging was much better than the RM's
He told me the coins he got from the RM had minor spots but I still asked him to send me one anyway, pleasantly surprised as it's an almost perfect coin, tiny dot and some very very minor specs that here that could be just dust, very pleased overall, beautiful coin. 

Today I received a jubilee and veil head sovereign, thanks @Heisenberg 
Also a sovereign case off eBay for my small, but slowly growing collection. ?
