My first pick up from Bullion by Post , well pleased coin in great condition even came in a capsule took pictures at home and work for different light.

New arrivals

Another weird set of items.  Some 20g Silver bowls.  They came in capsules too
I'm actually going to split this set.  Keep a couple for myself and give a couple away.  Secret handshake members will have the opportunity to win one some time soon.
 

One of my NGC submissions finally came in.[emoji38][emoji1]

1987 two coin britannia set. I really like it

30g Silver bank card from Wealth Savings Bank of China

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just messing with you all.  It's actually just a novelty piece of silver.  It is 30g .999 silver though.  Comes with capsule, box & testing certificate.

These just arrived. Surprisingly nice for  simple Royal Mint rounds. 15 quid each landed.
 

 

 

1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Tiger?From Chards.. Finally I have one?

   

Royal Australian Mint Lunar Rooster in 1oz and 1/10th & New Zealand Mint Steamboat Willie.  All come in Mint capsules but I've rehoused them for my storage system.

After weeks of cleaning up the stack - I present the 5oz PAMP bar. Goal for 2017 Completed!

Some more weird stuff.
1g Gold and 5g Silver Disney Notes from China Telecom, another state owned enterprise.  Each note has a 10 RMB face value which can be redeemed by scratching off and revealing the code.  Has embedded UV counterfeit measures.
3g Gold Lunar Medal from Shanghai Gold Coin Investment co Ltd and China Gold Coin Incorporation.  I think SHGCI is a subsidiary of CGCI but I can't be 100% sure.  I've lost track and count of parent companies, sister companies & subsidiaries all these state own businesses have.  This is a birth gift and comes with a necklace to hang the medal.  I bought it because it's Lunar themed and old coinage shaped.  Double sealed but will crack it open later.
 

Lucky to get these Rwanda Proof Lunars .

Just need a box for it now.

So, not received today but over the past couple of weeks:
- 2016 150g Proof Silver Panda
- 2017 1/10 oz 50th Anniversary Privy gold krug
- 1oz Proof Scrooge McDuck (NIUE)
- A horde of 19 silver pandas
 

1/4 oz Gold - Red Dragon - Queen's Beast

The holy grail of ATB's - a Hawaii 'P'. Got to love an eBay bargain!

Just received the two coin set Kookaburra. It's true. The proof version has a maximum mintage of 1,000 only. Should be the rarest 1 oz standard proof coin .
 
 
 

I avoided the Silver Bullet Silver Shield thing at the time, but picked these three up for not much premium last week.

Some Disney notes issued by China Golddeal Investment Co Ltd in collaboration with China Bank Note Printing and Minting Corporation.  Both state owned enterprises with the later being the corporation responsible for the minting of all renminbi coins and printing of renminbi banknotes for the People's Republic of China.
There is a lot of Disney stuff out there and I have only just found out that Disney is actually a minority share holder of Shanghai Disney Resort with the primary shareholder being a Shanghai Municipal Government Company.  No wonder there are so many official licenses being handed out.
 
Celebrating 90 Years of Dreams.  Here is the 1g gold one with unlimited issue.  There is also a 3g gold with an issue of 10,000 which I have manage to source and is winging it's way to me but the 5g with issue of 5000 is proving difficult.

 
2016 Celebrating Time 3g Gold and 3g Silver.  This one is quite sophisticated.  The paper note contains fluorescing water marks visible under UV light as you would expect with currency.  However, they have also included it with the gold and silver notes as well.  Crazy high issues with this one.  100,000 for the gold and over half a million (550,000) of the silver.

Created in Birmingham by @GoldBenj this 4oz silver bar was a birthday present for my father. It has the full Birmingham Assay office hallmarks. A beautiful paper weight or just fun to play with 
 

2017 Munich International Coin Show 4 Coin Panda Medal Set.  I only really wanted the 1oz.

35th Anniversary of the Issuance of the Gold Chinese Panda Brass Medal.  Weighs approx 500g with mintage of 500.  Copper has the same mintage and silver has mintage of 99.  There is also a gold one with mintage of 9.  Not sure if it's the same size as that would make it 1kg in weigh or whether it is a reduced down 150g version.  I really like the back with the coins and temple.
This is a private medal from Shanghai CaiQi Travel Souvenir Co Ltd.  This is supposed to have been designed by Zhao Qiang (Rocky Zhao) who also designed the 2011, 2014, 2015 Gold Pandas as well as numerous other things from the Shanghai Mint.  It is rumoured that the owner of Shanghai CaiQi travel is an ex employee of the Shanghai Mint and the company leases workshop space from the Shanghai Mint.  No idea how accurate those rumours are.
This year we will be seeing some fiat commemorative Panda coins from the Peoples Bank of China and no doubt we'll also be seeing medals from CGCI as well as the official Mints themselves.

Just a few Rwanda Rooster proofs
