A roll of the dragon & phoenix bullion.

Finally arrived   2  x  2017 proof half sovereigns and  1 x 2017 proof full sovereign from Chards plus a bonus £9 cheque refund as both orders in same parcel

These arrived today from gs.be.
Very expensive for what they are but you don't see them very often so had to get them for my collection.
Really like the Matt finish and a lot more detail than I was expecting. ?

Got them from goldsilver.be

1/10 and 1/20 proofs join the 2016 family.

Today my French lunar rooster finally arrived.
Can anyone shed any light on this French series as I think I've completed the series. 2006 when I think it started was BU with a mintage of 10,000. Around halfway through the series it went to proof at 10,000 mintage then dropped to 5,000 mintage at proof.
It seems like a strange way to run a series and it'll be interesting to see what they do next year.

Simple. 2005 bullion half sov. 

It has taken a while but I am now a member of the 2003 Panda club.

1983 1oz Singapore Dragon and 1/10th Carp.  Came in flips which may be from the Mint but I've rehoused them in Air-Tities.  Couple of red spots on the Dragon but the Carp is more or less mint.

Some 2016 1/10 Wedgies.  Couldn't wait for EU dealers any longer and was far too expensive to import just the 1 so bought a few as spares.  Will be offering a few here for any crazy collectors like myself.  Real shame they never did a 1/10 for 2014/15 and would be amazing if they did a 1oz in bullion.

2016 proof half and quarter Mexican Libertads.
 
 

 

Finaly they arrived
Got COA 975 and 976 out of 980 made

Picked up a couple of IOM 1 ounce Nobles - 2016 gold and the platinum from 1987 (middle of the Noble platinum run which went from 1983-1989, 3000 mintage for 1987). Have to say - the gold noble has instantly become one of my favourites ! 
Took further advantage of the long drop in platinum $ price in early October (to lowest in 6 months) to pick up another ounce, this one a Canadian 2016 maple, and for metal diversity I got my first palladium coin - also a 1 ounce Canadian maple, from 2005.  Interesting to see that the palladium is quite a big bigger (less density than platinum). 
Also from Scottsdale - a 5oz chunky silver bar, and then the pretty awesome Chad King Tut 5 ounce Egyptian Relic Series with its chiselled look antique finish. 
From MCM when they got them back in stock - a few slabbed PF70 silver moon festival medals, which I was initially immune to ...but now appreciate more for the sheer detail packed into the 1 ounce. 
Two Asahi 10 oz silver bars - nice to see how they kept some elements of the Johnson Mathey design, but added some new design features. Core stack. 
Finally - a batch of QB Lion gold quarter ounces (still picking them up ...as I reckon they still hold a lot of collector potential). I am going to look closely under a loupe to see if any deserve grading. 
Need to lay off the PMs for a few days?..but especially enjoyed the dip in platinum, while adding to the collection and the stack. 

A big thank you to Silverstan - A bought a couple of the Silverbug Proof first coin in the eight coin issue - 'Welcome to the Silverbug Island' from Silverstan last year and he sourced the next two issues for me - many thanks for your time - top man!
Also two of his limited addition bars - my photos don't do them justice - very nice indeed - A stocking filler for my kids.
Picture of the first issue also shown.
