Lunar Series II 2012 Dragon and 2014 Horse Gold Proof Coins. Still waiting for rooster proof...




 

@mondy41 feel our pain, imaging you had to buy gold in £!!!!!!     Surprised it hasn't made a bigger difference so far

Nice one my wife gave the bill for the refuse collection

Genuine silver this time....?
A UK 2017 proof Lunar Rooster, from the cyber sale from Island Coins. 
Nice PF70 2015 Britannia. Same set of auctions as @motorbikez! 
 

Just picked it up from @arshimo2012
 

Something for hardcore collectors, got lucky to have COA and outer sleeve.

Thought I'd join the club, couldn't resist any longer, especially with the griffin about to be released.

Nice one my wife gave the bill for the refuse collection

Today my wife bought me a 1911 half sovereign whilst in town today. Quite pleased with it

A 2017 Chad 1.oz  African Lion and a 1/2.oz Australian 2016 Tiger shark also a dime from a friend in the US and some more Scottsdale 5.oz Egyptian chad and 2.oz Horus

The Destiny Series Coin
 

New half sovereign case, lovely thing superb quality.
Bunch of new half shield sovs to go in it
1/10 IOM angel 2016, 90th Birthday privy - limited to 2016. Don't like a lot of the london mint office stuff due to their prices, but this was minted by pobjoy and got it for a crazy good price!
proof half sov 2001

1874 M Full Sovereign 

My 3-coin 2017 sov set came today from @arshimo2012 many thanks. I don't think the coins are totally perfect, they seem to put more effort into the box, which is very nice . The box manufacturer/team should send some of their guys to package the coins.
Also a few 1/10 2017 elephants, 1995 proof IOM angel 1/20
Then a half sov 1843 weight, I had few glasses of wine and not sure really why i bought it, it's just interesting

Pair of copper Nanjing panda medals back from grading thank you to @Numistacker for the help appreciated. Chuffed with the 70 results. 
Also a unique 4.oz silver bar from @GoldBenj very nice piece love the finish thanks, plus an Australian 2016 wedge tail high relief Proof.


 

 

A  2017 Proof Sovereign great price thanks Arshi , that gives me two of each full and half , i will keep one of each for my collection and flip the others if the  prices rise

A roll of the dragon & phoenix bullion.

These arrived today from gs.be.
Very expensive for what they are but you don't see them very often so had to get them for my collection.
Really like the Matt finish and a lot more detail than I was expecting. ?

1/10 and 1/20 proofs join the 2016 family.

New 2017 brit!
 

A pair of 2016 Republic of chad King Tut 5.oz rounds, and the second round of the Egyptian relic series (the 2.oz Horus)
Also a 1.oz pamp 2013 Lunar snake bar Thanks to, @UraaniBarbaari 
 

 



 

 

Completed the 1 ounce Pamp Suisse Metal Family today.  Received the 1 ounce Rhodium, Platinum, and Palladium.  Waiting on Pamp to release a 1 ounce copper.  Sure the premium on those will be $$.  Enjoy

Today my French lunar rooster finally arrived.
Can anyone shed any light on this French series as I think I've completed the series. 2006 when I think it started was BU with a mintage of 10,000. Around halfway through the series it went to proof at 10,000 mintage then dropped to 5,000 mintage at proof.
It seems like a strange way to run a series and it'll be interesting to see what they do next year.

Yesterday I received my prize draw prize.  Very nice addition to my personal collection.  Thanks
