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. 

Received mine from @sovereignsteve . Very pleased with them,  and with the easy, straight forward deal.
Thanks again ?

RECYCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

you don't even need to go back as far as 2009. Look at Venezuela right now. Country is falling apart and hyperinflation after decades of mismanagement finally coming to a head. When collapse comes and your creditors no longer want to play the game, it all goes to hell in a handbasket. 

RAM - 2016 1 oz Gold Lunar Year of the Monkey Coin -  My new one - Beautiful coin  ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
 

Platinum shiny!

I don't usually post photos, I bought this peso 20 from Apmex it took over a week to come it's only a 1959 re-strike at first it looks quite good condition but near the snakes head there are scratch marks, can our resident Mexican expert @Numistacker have a look at it please and advise if i should complain or let it go.  It was bought as advertised as there standard Aztec 20 coin but they sell it as nearly uncirculated (what ever that means).
