I'm absolutely delighted with my latest bespoke box from @Alun - this one is for my recently-started collection of quarter ounce gold Queen's Beasts 😎
As with all Alun's boxes, the quality and workmanship are faultless - if you're in the market for a box, look no further than @Alun

Last week, I noticed the price for silver having taken a bit of a dive. So I, maybe naively, decided to use my budget for December to take a gamble by placing an order at GS.be, despite all the negative things I have seen and read about their customer service department. 
Luckily I didn't need them, and I must say, they shipped out very quickly. If it wasn't for FedEx being such a pain, I could have even had this last Monday already. 
Anyway, I did feel like making this more of a stacking order rather than a collectible one, and I decided to take a bit of pretty much everything... 😂 The coins (which all appear to be in great condition) are still in bags, I'll get busy repacking them into capsules tonight, but I have gotten me... 
3x 1oz Two Dragons, 1x 1oz Batavia, 4x 1oz Kangaroos, 4x 1oz American Eagles, 3x 1oz Maple Leaves, 2x 1oz Maple Leaves Superman, and the ones I'm the happiest with; 3x 2oz Canadian Mounted Police.

Last few bits for a while turned up today. Thanks @richatthecroft for the awesome lib sets and the stunning half sovereign. Couple more kooks for my date run from a dealer.

Hi All,
 
Received these from El Dorado Coins today. Grabbed another Lion of Mortimer as in the flesh I actually like the coin. 10oz Falcon looks good too. But out of this lot I like the  Irish Red deer the most, really good looking coin.

Cheers

I got also some German Gold.

It is 1/2 oz Gold "Dom zu Speyer" 100 Euro.
I made a quick video about the coin and the gold silver ratio. 
For 1/2 oz Gold we get 43 ounces silver! 
So I put
2 x 5 oz Black Flag + 5 oz Libertad+ 10 oz Lunar II pig  + 10 oz Kookaburra + 8 oz Kookaburra = 43 oz Silver
on the table to illustrate the gold silverratio 1: 86

Just received from grading, with mixed feelings. Some failures (can't seem to avoid them...) but some very good results too. The latest submission was mostly medals, which is pretty new area for me. Two excellent grades, with 68 being pretty difficult for such older coins. And I like a lot the two toned ones, look really nice. Pretty troubled with the Details one, I think NGC are (or have become) very strict with scratches, as it really doesn't seem to have anything serious. 🤔
 

Was a deal 2% under spot + free shipping
 
 

Received from @goluckystayhappyOne on Friday the other 2 today, big thank you,These are my first Krugerrand, very impressive coin, the Buffalo speaks for itself.
 

Finally back from alignment 


along with some Hungarian Imperial Gold

Thank you @richatthecroft for highlighting that ATS Bullion 2% above spot sale on One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia 22ct (1987-2012)
https://www.atsbullion.com/one-ounce-gold-coins/britannia-one-ounce-gold-coin-22-carat/#.Xcqt_9XgoUE
They did not have 2003 / 2008 / 2010 One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia (and I am still on the hunt for these) but they had 2009 One Ounce Gold Coin Britannia 22ct. Packaging from ATS Bullion very good and I love the design of the coin and lady Britannia on her majestic chariot.

Freshly back from grading. My lovely 1854 $3 coin. Nice grade for its age and now verified as not being mucked around with or cleaned. Fab........ Thanks Numi


 

And then I received something I ordered back in September. 😂
Let's just say I've learned my lesson to not order coins that come with a 4 to 6 week lead time. Especially when that coin is delayed by another two weeks, so I still don't have that yet. 🤦‍♂️I so not have the patience for that kind of sh*peep*... 😬
But okay, until that time I'll just feast my eyes out on the silver coins that I have received today: a 2oz White Lion of Mortimer, a 2oz Britannia & Germania Allegories (yep, it's terribly overpriced, but I also think it's pretty), another 10oz Magnificent Maple Leaf, and another 10oz Unicorn of Scotland. 😊
 
 
 

Thanks to @Kookaburracollector for this lovely 2011. Kooks are coming together nicely.
