I already have my Canon Lens if you mean me I have had it for about 4years now & probably only used it 20 times. It was the lens I was shown how to take pics on so when it came to buying a camera & lens I just picked what I was used to.

No not you, anyone who is thinking of investing in a macro lens to fit any of the main camera bodies. I did my research a couple of years ago when I was looking for one to fit my Pentax. The Tamron is very highly regarded, much more than most main camera maker's own lenses, unless you spend a fortune that is.

Nice shots, you can also buy a close-up lens, which is a lot cheaper than buying a macro lens, and just like a filter it screws onto your existing lens. Obviously the quality is not quite as good as a macro lens but for the price it is very reasonable.

One of the cheaper shields from Atkinson.

1/4 oz Gold - Red Dragon - Queen's Beast

[Cornishfarmer]

@PureGold got mine today also, bit disapointed with the quality of the strike. yours doesnt look that different to me, thought the 'scales' (or what ever they are) on the dragon aren't that good.     compared to the feathers on the griffin. what you think?

Yeah I have to agree it's not as detailed as the Griffin.. I'll be ordering the 1 oz Gold soon so it will be interesting to see the strike on the 1 oz it should be much better

How does the Queen's cheek look? Any scratches? This was the problem with the lion and why so many received MS69 and not 70...

Today I received my Phoenix rounds with coa's. Just the next two to collect in this series.

Lucky to get these Rwanda Proof Lunars .

Wayfair - Sterling Silver Flatware 

[morezone]

Some more weird stuff.

1g Gold and 5g Silver Disney Notes from China Telecom, another state owned enterprise.  Each note has a 10 RMB face value which can be redeemed by scratching off and revealing the code.  Has embedded UV counterfeit measures.

3g Gold Lunar Medal from Shanghai Gold Coin Investment co Ltd and China Gold Coin Incorporation.  I think SHGCI is a subsidiary of CGCI but I can't be 100% sure.  I've lost track and count of parent companies, sister companies & subsidiaries all these state own businesses have.  This is a birth gift and comes with a necklace to hang the medal.  I bought it because it's Lunar themed and old coinage shaped.  Double sealed but will crack it open later.

2 - Queens Beast Griffins from the deal last week! Best price I've seen all year for 1/4 oz gold. Had to snag them... Unfortunately they look like MS69 at best... So I'll probably hold then flip once gold gets over $1255 again...

[Bullionbilly]

1oz scottsdale bar bought with an ebay voucher cost me £16.40 odd in total and got a free little info booklet from bullion by post.
