I am truly sorry, it looked like a silver coin to me
Didn´t look good enough

A piece of perfection

Little monkey.

Some 24K Gold Pendants which I asked my parents to bring back from HK for me.  The Frozen snowflake and Olaf will be for my daughter and the Angry Bird and Superman symbol will be for my son.  The Millennium Falcon & Darth Vader are for me.  Average price of £75/gram.  They are small so I put a sovereign in there for comparison.

For my second gold purchase nothing too special. Just a restrike Ducat. I do really like the coat of arms on the reverse though.

Had to get the last pair at chinamedals after the heads up from @Numistacker, lovely medals. I actually prefer the brass, would be awesome in gold

Yep, got it for myself.  Love most things Sci-Fi and this is by far the most interesting of all the Sci-Fi related things released.

2016 Reverse Proof Peregrine Falcon.  The rest in the series will probably follow at some point.
A slip of Gold-pressed Latinum. It's actually really nice and being a matt finish it can be handled without too much worry of leaving marks.

a 2003 RAW 1/4oz Panda that are going to be graded
and a 1993 NGC MS69 Large Date Frosted Panda

I collect the Call of the Wild series but spot has been too high to buy the latest 2016 Roaring Grizzly so cashed in some Bitcoin now that it's finally back up to ~£400.  Thought I'd add a 8g Panda since I was already paying for postage.
Bought from Bitgild but shipped by EPM Trading (Coin Invest/STG parent company).  Not sure if Bitgild is owned by the same people or whether they just have a drop shipping arrangement.

1/25 oz 2006 Isambard Kingdom Brunel 200th Anniversary Coin. I wasn't going to buy much more but managed to get it for £35 which is pretty much spot

Real silver (sort of) and gold in the form of a Gold 2016 1/10 RAM Kangaroo, 2012 Kook with Dragon Privy & 2016 Maple with Tank Privy.
Then a selection of 18 rounds and a 5oz Shotgun Shell.
 

Another brass medal set but this one is from the Mint of Poland.  The 2 medals interlock and are housed in a wooden frame.

A couple of 90mm brass medals.  The one of most interest to me is the 2016 Sinosauropteryx (Chinese Bird Lizard).  It does form part of a 4 medal Prehistoric series from the Shanghai Mint beginning with the Mammoth in 2015.  Originally I didn't pick up the mammoth because it was a big of a fail.  The mammoth is a fairly decent design but the back was very plain and low relief.  Since I picked up the Sinosauropteryx I decided to go back and pick up the mammoth to keep up to date in case the next 2 end up being cracking designs.

I promised myself I wouldn't collect any other series other than the Rwanda Wildlife, but today I received 3 lunar series 1 coins to add to my monkey, I am choosing to see this as an investment and not a collection as the 4 coins set me back £150.

Received these two cute pandas today. Thanks to @mondy41 ?
 

The latest in the Chinese Classical Garden Series 2016 Liu Yuan.  I will be braking it out of the OMP later.
The 2016 150g Chinese Panda.  Ended up buying it from China.  I passed on Muenzdachs.de original cheap pre-order since I was going to order it from EMK and expected a similar price as with previous years.  Unfortunately the price kept creeping up and EMK's offering was €279 which was more than I wanted to pay as it was a significant increase from previous years.  Luckily it is still a reasonable price from China.

Been away this past week and came home to a few packages which my dad was kind enough to take in for me.  I think he just wanted to hang around my place to get away from my mum.
2016 Isle of Man Angel Reverse Proof - Quite nice.  Need to dig out the normal one to compare with.  Each master sheet comes with a hologram but I don't know how many coins there are to a master sheet.  Pretty sure my ten has been cut from a larger sheet.
2016 Burkina Faso Crocodile - Yet another one of the many many coins from Africa which MCI are knocking out at the moment.
2016 New Zealand Mint Endangered Species Giant Panda - I'm glad the series is now complete.  They were releasing far too many each year.
2008 1/4 Chinese Panda - Big thanks to @Kman spotting this at Atkinsons and posting in the deal section.  Came in a capsule but has been well looked after so I'm pretty happy with it.
 
 

Sorry about lighting, but it's almost dark

I blame @Numistacker for this one, ?. I bought a 15g baby panda, I really like the design on these.
It would be nice to get the 30g version but with a mintage of only 200, I can't see it happening.
 

Received two more of these cook island kilos from silberling.de bought when spot was 10.60 - finally some luck on my timing! Standby for silver prices to collapse now that I have jumped in again 
Also received a 2015 sovereign bought on Ebay with the 20% off voucher a while back, tests as 22 ct gold, right measurements all looking good. £178.50 delivered. Took ages to sort out because of my miscalculation on the required paypal balance which led to an echeck being initiated. Seller was very accommodating though, excellent in fact. Worth the wait at that price. 

1996 and 1997 sealed 1/20 Pandas.
