Also my proof half 2017 sov arrived a few days after my full sov. is it just me or is the 2017 sov not as wide as the usual bullion ones?

I won a 2oz silver perth rooster from Chards in a competition! it arrived today with a nice note from them. I was very chuffed as I never win anything!
Thank you Chards

In a similar vein to @prophet800 some recent ebay pick ups. All pre-1920.

Couple of King Tut 5oz from Scottsdale Mint - New Relic Series.

Everytime i see that coin lol
 

1914 full Sovereign from the HGM lucky dip. Also pictured is the 1/4 2013 Panda bought from a member last month.
Picking up more gold than silver these days.

Splashed out last week so we can call it an early Xmas/Birthday pressie to myself.
1 oz 2010 and 2011 Somali Elephants.  Mintage is supposed to be 1850.  Paid a hefty premium.
1 oz 1981 Libertad.  Different design to the modern coin so wanted this variant for the collection.
Some 1/10ths.  2017 Somali Elephant, 2007 Isle Man Cats, Apmex round.

A 2017 silver Britannia from Yorkshire bullion on eBay. Got a 1oz Asahi silver bar from them the other day as well.

10* 2 oz proof lunar Rooster 
2* 2 oz proof lunar Monkey 
Roll Rooster 
Quarter sovereign. It's so tiny, bought it as Christmas present 
Australian horse 

Shanghai mint Ancient Egyptian Civilisation 2016 high relief  brass medal.

Some god and silver notes for my collection.  Parcel took 19 days instead of the usual 7-10 so had me worried.  
Greeting the New Century 2g Silver.  I already have a graded one but wanted a RAW.  It has taken a while but finally got one.  Still after the elusive gold one

 
Nanjing Mint 6g Monkey.  I already have the 5g version but this one has a different design and is a little smaller but comes in the same packaging.  I've included a comparison with the 5g.

 
CGCI 2g Lunar Sheep/God of Wealth gold note.  Comes with packaging from China Minsheng Bank so not sure if they've commissioned it from CGCI or whether they're repackaging and distributing a product already distributed by CGCI.  There are 2 COAs but they're in Chinese.

 
Finally I have a 1g Gold and 5g Silver Year of the Monkey notes.  They came loose with no COAs so have no idea where they have come from.

It has taken a while but I am now a member of the 2003 Panda club.

A few bits from @SilverStan 1974 USS constitution round, + the silverbug island rounds. Also the new 1oz silverbugs in space bar prospector bar and a silver shield round.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arrived from Atkinsons today 
1911 Melbourne full sovereign
1911 Sydney full sovereign

To go along with my Canadian, just the London and Perth for a full 1911 mint set.
Haven't used Atkinsons for a while, was excepting a jiffy bag with coins surrounded with bubble wrap instead was pleasantly surprised to find a good strong cardboard envelope, the coins in capsules and in plastic coin flips with tissue paper wrapping and branded sticker sealing it all together. nice touch       

1983 1oz Singapore Dragon and 1/10th Carp.  Came in flips which may be from the Mint but I've rehoused them in Air-Tities.  Couple of red spots on the Dragon but the Carp is more or less mint.

I bought a few of these as spares to bring down the cost average.  I'm a mad collector of 1/10ths but in case there are any others out there I'm going to offer some for sale.  They are expensive and I'll run through sums.
$156 X 10 + $109 shipping = $1669 / 1.22 (exchange rate at time) = £1368 + £12 (customs clearance fee) = £1380 / 10 = £138
MCM declared the coins as numismatic collectibles so is subject to VAT.  I can't be bothered trying to contest it as I have tried before and takes forever (I actually gave up) so I'll just claim the VAT back at a later date and accept the £12 fee.
 
If anyone wants one, they will be £140 + postage of your choice.
 

Nice little Indian 2014 sov,
