Just WoW the 5oz high reliëf proof 2019 Kookaburra. 
Good start of 2020!
 

The first two coins to land through the door in 2020. First the replacement for my 2oz Silver Proof Una and the Lion. Original arrived damaged a little under a month ago but this one is thankfully perfect. The second a 2017 quarter proof Sovereign. This is the sort of coin I wouldn't ever claim to be a purchaser of but when the price is right...

Thanks to @arshimo2012 7 2012 Britannias added to the stack

So been waiting to post here until all coins have arrived throughout December/January  ect so here they all are! Enjoy  Also thanks to @Toshunya86 @terakris @augur @Shinus73For supplying such wonderful coins 

Pulled the trigger and Picked up 4 x 1oz krugs from sharps pixley this morning, this is the highest I’ve ever paid for bullion gold after taking a short break from precious metals.

JM 100g bars coming along lovely 👌

My Christmas present to myself. 2 x 1/10 oz Britannia and 3 x 1/2 oz silver Perth Mint.

Mrs 5huggy, despite my major reservations on the digital!,
Gave me a BITCOIN!!!! 😉🤣👍

 
BUT SERIOUSLY  - - ARRIVED YESTERDAY
So big thanks to @Tangomachine and @Peacemaker  for some VERY nice, and quite hard to find, additions to my mini bar collection
 

 

That's regal stackers front man in this country selling that, I'm surprised regal isn't keeping it & getting it graded.

Having had a brief look at this thread, even the most disciplined entrepreneur with exceptional money management skills & hard assets(business, land, property,shares etc) has a 40% chance of failing to achieve financial independence in 10 years. Read Divorce, I became financially independent at 51 years of age although it took me 25 years to get there not 10.
Divorce shatters that so keep her sweet lol.

Arrived from the royal mint today. 
Two beautiful coins. 
Una and the lion. 
Very satisfying. 

2019 American liberty 2.5oz silver medal. 
It’s a pity it has a spot on both size. 
Maybe I should have purchased it right after the release. 

Just won this at an auction. I think it's a must have for any 10 oz bar collection. 🤓
 

Recieved the tin and last coins today. 1914 princess Mary Christmas tin. Coins from 1914-18. Thanks to @Tommmmy555 for the remaining coins. 

@kimchi  As before pal it is a nice coin & I'd advise any collectors who like the design to just buy it, don't worry about flipping I don't see it soaring away. Personally I'm not going to buy it as proofs are my thing mainly & I've too many collections on the go. My problem like most collectors is I buy one coin then I feel compelled to complete a set if one starts lol.
Bear in mind Perth mint just love anniversaries & have used this design a number of times & will continue to do so IMHO in the future. Mind you could start a collection of anniversary coins.
 

Just got my Silver Una. Love it. That's one deep strike! It really pops of the coin. Great detail.

Many thanks, I'd missed that it was the iconic design for long-term Kook collectors (I've only been collecting the last few years, and mainly the more recent ones as the older ones are so expensive) so great point, cheers!
I really like it so am certainly going to try to grab one at least. I don't have much of an idea on the history of the Kook golds, unfortunately - having a browse today I am not much more the wiser. There seem to be a few from down the years, and obviously the 2015 anniversary is a (the?) biggie, but beyond that I'm pretty lost. Any more input much appreciated!

@kimchi  It's THE iconic kook coin, buy it if you like it ,weather it goes up or down in value it's not going to break anyone's bank either way.

just some  10 oz Silver Queens Beasts in rare Proof Versions ...

On you tube I compared them with the Bullion Versions....
 
 

Three out of three from NGC (via Numi)...Huge relief! Nicely aligned in their slabs unlike another recent acquisition...

This beautiful coin arrived from America not long ago, It will have to go to NGC as I can’t live with the annoying alignment!

It was encapsulated several years ago apparently, so I am guessing this doesn’t / shouldn’t happen now!
If it cross grades the same,  it will be the second highest in the NGC registry, so well worth the effort and cost.

A few new acquisitions
