Some of the coins I got via the group order. Many thanks @BackyardBullion. Wonderful service as usual. Like the new printed BYB boxes as well!
As featured in BYB's latest In Focus Friday episode... Funny story - I was sat watching the episode of IFF while my package was in covid quarantine for 24 hours (so I hadn't opened it yet). I was thinking: "What a jammy b*****d that got them kooks, wish I'd bought some". Completely oblivious that it was me... (I'd ordered in Feb and forgotten what I'd ordered). They look even better out of the caps

 
And the rest

It doesn't get much better when the postman brings shiny things two days in a row!
I only received my first ever piece of gold yesterday to add to my stack and today saw a second piece of gold arrive to keep it company.
My 1/4 oz Gold Standard is joined by a stunning 1/4 oz Lion of England this time courtesy of @arshimo2012, who is an absolute gent it must be said.
Am I being swayed towards the yellow stuff from my beloved silver.....still not sure yet......not quite the same heft holding a 1/4oz of gold by comparison to say 20oz of silver......messes with the head a little! Time will tell. 
Just need to find a good quality capsule for the wee Lion and I think I could do with finding a good quality monster box to start keeping everything together too.
Also please note the impressive array of postage stamps.....made me smile 😊

Tigers are like buses.
I generally don't have any time for privy mark coins, seeing them as just one more exploitative move to extort currency from collectors. As I already owned the Maple Wildlife set, I decided to make an exception;  the six matching privies will combine to make an attractive set of 12.
The pronghorn privy also sprang in this evening.
 
 

Received today from @arshimo2012. Absolutely stunning. Thanks again Ash.

I haven't seen this Laotian coin mentioned anywhere on the forum. Not a country well known for its coins, but this really is a particularly attractive silver piece - so I bought an ambush of them.

Recieved the latest installment of the Perth Mint Figure of Eight series - 2020 Phoenix & Dragon coin. Nice series and something different. Great ornamental pieces! 
Released so far; 2018 Dragon / Dragon, 2019 Koi Fish, 2020 Phoenix / Dragon.

Just a little Queens beast catchup mostly.

Some more of my beloved Beasts.. and a half Sov

Love this stuff

 
Now sealed and protected and off to the vault 😄

Postie delivered these today from Eldorado Coins.

2 griffins.
Nice coins. Nice packaging. 
Thanks @Pete

Lovely pack of cats. Thanks to @steve1905 and the others from a dealer. Got to use my sigma also so a good day😁

If you look closely you will see the dragon is absolutely rammed into capsule and both caps have damage. Not impressed.
 
But here is something truly impressive...a quintuple of Beasts in their natural environment, just missing the Unicorn that's currently MIA.  Just need matching capsules for all 39mm dia

My first pm purchase. Thanks @SVcollector
 

This set of 999 Silver Gems were special made for me. Absolutely love them. We decided against stamping them as they just look so amazing as they are! 

My apologies for the slight overkill on the photos, but I just couldn't resist to share what I have found in a lovely package earlier today.
As the premiums on the regular bullion coins are too high for me (and pretty much everybody else... ), I decided to go for some collectible silver coins, which are all 1 oz silver coins but one.
In that sense, I have grown quite fond of the Tokelau designs, with the Terra 2020 (photo 1), Vivat Humanitas 2020 (2), Equilibrium 2019 (3), and the Chronos series of 2017, 2018, and 2019 (4 & 5).
From other countries/mints, I have gotten the Nikola Tesla series of 2018, 2019, and 2020 (6, 7 & 8), the Redback Spider 2020 (9), the Rectangle Dragon (10), the Laos Panthera Tiger (11), and finally the 10 oz Royal Arms 2020.

Just received my first ever purchase of silver, a 10 Oz QB Unicorn.

Thank you, @kiskelo, for this gorgeous coin! This and the Dragon and Tiger are definitely among my favourite coins.   

Received  these from Baird mint today, I’m not a collector and not a fan of Queen’s Beasts at all, only bought these Beasts because Baird Mint’s prices were really good, £74 premium for a 24 carat 1oz coin is not bad at all in this corona virus situation.
But what I am very impressed with is the Young head sovereign because I paid £348 for an ordinary Young head sovereign but they sent me a Melbourne Mint young head sovereign 🤩, so that’s a nice little surprise, I see chards are selling Melbourne Mint young heads for £534.
also I must thank @Blehhhh for Recommending   Baird Mint, their prices are really amazing. 

This arrived late afternoon yesterday, very happy with it, its a shame I cannot capture the lustre on this coin, it looks like scuffing in the pictures.
This is a Czechoslovakian 1937 dated 20 Korun made of .700 silver, this large coin was made to commemorate the life and death of the president of Czechoslovakia T٠G٠Masaryk, this coin was only made one year only and only 1,000,000 were minted, which is low for a circulating commemorative coin.
Currently the largest in my collection, bigger than (though lighter) than my British half crown.
 

 

 
 
 
Next to UK 50p for size comparison, only just noticed its one of the special ones.
 

 
 
 

Ok so not got today but here’s some interesting stuff I had saved from being melted last year. Finally got round to cleaning them.
marcasite jewellery in sterling silver. Now they are clean will be able to see what stones are missing and will have a go at replacing.

Thank you, @kiskelo, for this gorgeous coin! This and the Dragon and Tiger are definitely among my favourite coins.
