Cointreau

A 1787 George III gold Guinea. Pretty worn but hey, have you seen how much the good specimens cost?
 

A 1820 George III Half Sovereign, not the best but I only paid bullion price for it.
 

Pulled the trigger tonight on an STG silver order:
Tube of 25 1 oz 2015 Canadian Maples (bullion - for the stack, at £12.63 each)
Tube of 20 1 oz 2015 Kookaburras (can't wait to see these, looks a great design, and the 25th anniversary etc)
Single 10 oz 2015 Koala and Kookaburras
Finally - a 1 kg Kookaburra. Call me crazy - but this looks so much more fun than a generic 1 kg bar, and the price is so much better!
That might be it for silver for 2015 now......apart from some shiny NZ collectors stuff that is on its way also!
Let's see if my timing was good or stupid...

2013 panda , lovely coin.
2012 rcm moose , looks much nicer in reality than I expected it to. The pictures I had seen of the coin didn't really grab me but when it turned up was pleasantly suprised with it.
Both coins from Cointreau ,cheers mate

Today I bought........................a panda book. 
 
Havn't got any panda coins yet, but at least i'll be better informed when I do start looking for them.
 
Thanks go out to DavePanda for his donation of the book to the forum funds

Another purchase from my friend Arshi

Yes I am thanks. It's a nice lump of historical gold.
I've been playing with it in a way you can't really do with a proof or modern coin.
May get a noble from Bairds next. Who knows.

Having lived in my current location for the last 4 years, I thought I had pretty much mapped out the locations of all the coin shops, gold/silver dealers, and antique shops/centres/fairs etc for a 100 mile radius. Well not quite...
 
Whilst looking at the website of the only decent coin dealer for miles, I discovered that on a Monday they are at an antique centre in the nearby town of Taunton. On checking the map, it turns out that this three floor antique centre/fair that I have never seen before, is only a few hundred yards away in a back street from the KFC, where practically every Monday I have my lunch. How the hell I never knew it was there is beyond me. It's only open on Mondays, and seems to be very busy.
 
So went there for the first time today. Lots of silver bits and pieces, which will need to be checked out in future visits armed with a scale, which look to be very keenly priced. As for the coin dealer, as well as putting me first on his list for any future Britannia sets that comes his way, (he knows my price limit and says he can work with that), I picked up a 155.5g .925 Silver Proof 100 Vatu coin from Vanuatu, Queen Mother coin for £60. It's a very thick coin.
 
So in essence I've got  4.625 t/oz of silver for £60, (was priced up as £75), which equates to £12.97 an ounce. So I'm well happy with that. Plus it puts me just over the 300 t/oz of physical silver. So another milestone hit.
 

 
 
Update. Just checked the sold listings on Ebay, and two of these coins have sold recently for over £90 delivered. Very Nice..
