These 1/10ths just turned up several days earlier than expected.  Paid €15 shipping and they sent it via DHL International Express which is next day rather than the 3-5 with domestic DHL.

My priority was the 1/10th 2008 Brit but seeing as I was paying postage anyway, thought I'd pick up a 2010 and 2 X 2014 1/10th Libs.  I will be opening up the Brit so I can store it with the others although it is a shame to have to break open the Mint packaging.

New Zealand Mint Endangered Species Snow Leopard.
2016 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle
2016 Canadian Maple Leaf with Panda Privy

Just came home to find this posted through my letter box.  It's a 2014 Smithsonian Panda Medal.  Only available in slabs but I didn't want to fork for a 69 or 70.  Came via the eBay GSP but eBay didn't charge VAT even though it was over the threshold.  At some point is was cut open by a monkey and the blade has gone all the way through both sides of the envelope.  They've taped one side shut but forgot about the other side and also failed to apply the "opened and resealed" label.  Luckily the coin was still inside.
Just had a parcel sent to NZ via the GSP.  The parcel was opened for inspection and they used a knife to open the box seal which also went through several layers of bubble wrap and then into the product.

Some privy Maples and the 2015 Smithsonian Panda Medal.

Privy Monkey, Kangaroo at Sunset F15 privy, 2016 Koala and then just continuation of the date runs of the generic cheap bullion.  I'm not too sure why I bother with those since the design never changes.

They are actually not that popular because it's a medal.  It is minted by one of the official Mints but privately commissioned.  It took a while for the 2015 to sell out and will take a while for the 2016 to sell out to.  I would have liked to have seen the price for the 2016 come down a little with an almost double mintage.  If it sells well, expect a gradual rise in mintages.  I think it's just silver, antique and gold at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me if the decided to add copper and brass versions at a later stage.
Some YPS stuff

@George Yes, that is how they come from the mint.  It would have originally been a full sheet which they've then cut each coin from.

I thought about it a while ago but decided not to include the 1kg.  It would have meant buying £60 cases X 12 and then backdating all the way to the mouse.

1986 1/10 Gold Panda and the 10 and 2 oz Lunar Monkeys to finish off the 0.5-10 set.  Ordered these on the 28th but now that they are more abundant, the price has come down a fair bit.

The last 2 BU RAM Roos to complete the date run.  I've taken them out of the cards so they can sit with the others and the cards will be stored with all the other coin packaging and bit and pieces.

Just for my collection. One is enough. I've not looked at the historic charts for Palladium so I'm not sure how it'll fair.  Would be a bonus if it's at a low.

Forgot this.  A 2006 Palladium Maple.

Mixed bag of goodies which were ordered 13th Dec but some bits were on pre-order.  Took forever to arrive due to the New Year holidays.
2016 Tokelau Mokaha Great White - follow on from Tuna Fish
2016 Rwanda Meerkat
2016 New Zealand Mint Lunar Monkey in Silver and Gold - 2nd in series
2016 1/10 Somali Elephant - doesn't come in capsule as you can see
2016 Gold Pandas 30g, 15g and 8g.  They were out of 1g and 3g so have them on order with Chards although I did pick up some 1g elsewhere as well.

1/4 Kazakhstan Lunar Rabbit.  I really like it especially with it's dodecagon shape.

1983 $200 Proof Koala from the RAM.  10g of 22k.
1/10th Gold Dragon and Phoenix set from the Shanghai Mint.
Wasn't expecting these until after the new year.

I think this is the final delivery for the year.  Some fondling silver.

Some baby Pandas.  I won't be seeing the siblings until well into January.

1/10th LOTR Crown.  I may just leave this as it is rather than breaking it out.
2012 Half Sovereign.  For some reason you don't see these very often although there were supposed to be 250,000 minted.  Came with a price tag but the collector in me is daft enough to pay it.

Star Wars Classic Han Solo in silver and 1/4 gold.
Very surprised Parcel Force delivered today.  Saw a van drive past on the way home and thought it was odd.  When I arrived home a couple of minutes later I find a box by the front door.  They just left it there.  Luckily it's a fairly safe and low traffic area and the parcel was of minimal value.  30 mins later Parcel Force turn up again but this time with this order which contained other coins as well.  Good job they didn't just leave this one out.

Can't really afford to stump up for a mint carded 2007 Roo so this will have to do. Not mint but more affordable.
3 more to go.

Final delivery.  Coin box from mastercoincases in Germany.  4 layers of 16 cut to 45mm to hold H size Air-Tites.
