A big thank you to Silverstan - A bought a couple of the Silverbug Proof first coin in the eight coin issue - 'Welcome to the Silverbug Island' from Silverstan last year and he sourced the next two issues for me - many thanks for your time - top man!
Also two of his limited addition bars - my photos don't do them justice - very nice indeed - A stocking filler for my kids.
Picture of the first issue also shown.

Series 1 1996 1/4oz lunar mouse. May send off for grading just for fun. Looks clean under a loupe (despite there appearing to be a scratch on Lizzie's head which isn't on the actual coin) but doubt it's a 70 of course. With only 1390 of these as a declared mintage, it might be worth slabbing this one just to protect it. 430 quid delivered so happy with that regardless.

Got a bullion 2016 sovereign and a 2014 Indian I mintmark half sovereign. Strained my eyes to see if the 'I' was there 

Picked up a couple of IOM 1 ounce Nobles - 2016 gold and the platinum from 1987 (middle of the Noble platinum run which went from 1983-1989, 3000 mintage for 1987). Have to say - the gold noble has instantly become one of my favourites ! 
Took further advantage of the long drop in platinum $ price in early October (to lowest in 6 months) to pick up another ounce, this one a Canadian 2016 maple, and for metal diversity I got my first palladium coin - also a 1 ounce Canadian maple, from 2005.  Interesting to see that the palladium is quite a big bigger (less density than platinum). 
Also from Scottsdale - a 5oz chunky silver bar, and then the pretty awesome Chad King Tut 5 ounce Egyptian Relic Series with its chiselled look antique finish. 
From MCM when they got them back in stock - a few slabbed PF70 silver moon festival medals, which I was initially immune to ...but now appreciate more for the sheer detail packed into the 1 ounce. 
Two Asahi 10 oz silver bars - nice to see how they kept some elements of the Johnson Mathey design, but added some new design features. Core stack. 
Finally - a batch of QB Lion gold quarter ounces (still picking them up ...as I reckon they still hold a lot of collector potential). I am going to look closely under a loupe to see if any deserve grading. 
Need to lay off the PMs for a few days?..but especially enjoyed the dip in platinum, while adding to the collection and the stack. 

Just bought a 2017 French lunar rooster to complete the series.

Today 2 exotic coins. I like them both and I think I will get the other coins of the geometry series.

Haven't been active for a while as I've been on nights. Just got woken up by the postie. I forgive him for the loud knocking as he delivered this??

1990 Gold Panda from Atkinsons.  Was expecting a capsuled coin with some red spotting and was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package to find it was OMP and red spot free.

Umicore 250g from Helpinghands

Royal Mint Proof Rooster and the 2017 Pegasus.  The quality of the Pegasus is very poor compared to the Angels.  Marks here and there and some white hazing on the horse.

My collection so far
1 oz Krugerrand
1/4 oz Perth Mint Lunar Series 2: Snake and Horse
1/4 oz Australian Mint Lunar Monkey
1/4 oz Queens Beast
2007 Sovereign
Also have 2 Austrian 1915 1 Ducats not in photo
 
I like 1/4 oz due to their size but they are difficult to come by. Looking to get the 1/4 oz rooster, maybe when gold price drop a little. Am currently looking into 1/10s but the premium on them is pretty steep so I'm a little hesitant.
