Thanks to Sören of @muenzdachs for the fabulous service he provides. He only received the 2019 set in stock on Wednesday in Germany and arrived here in Yorkshire today.

Today I received:
1oz gold Queen's Beast Griffin (£1325 bought on this awesome forum from @kneehow2018)
500g silver Geiger bar
4 Perth mint dragon bars (to fill up my tube)
Silver stuff came directly from Geiger. I paid a hefty premium on the 500g bar but I just had to get one!
I'm debating with myself whether to take off the vacuum sealed plastic around the 500g bar. I probably won't.
2p included for size comparison.

Pick ups from the LCS this morning.  An Austrian 100 Coronas (.98 oz gold), and a 1988 Netherlands 2 Ducat Proof (.22 oz gold).  Both bought at spot, so with the recent dip in price, it was  some weight added to the stack at a decent price.

Cheers @Sovereign. As always a great trade. 

I think I’ve overdone it now 😂 

An out of the blue opportunity to buy some gold arose today, and at well below spot. Not things I would normally buy, but the price was most definitely right!



Shame about the scratch!
 



 

After 15 months of stacking, I've only just started on my sovereign collection ! Softly, softly catchy monkey 😁

Happy to have received the 2019 Albert Matte Sovereign to complete my set of 2019 matte sovereigns .

Poor quality pics, but nice coins👍

My Albert Sov came too. Currently being auctioned on this site in the UK sales section. It’s a thing of beauty. 

My Albert Celebration Sovereign came this morning too Pretty sweet looking coin.

A few new recent purchases  

JUst had to Follow @Maundy
Because thanks to him  im the proud owner of this gorgeous India Sovereign
 

Super thanks to @Panda6Pack  for a nice "row" of JM reverse bars
 

Managed to snag this from an antique dealer who was not been updating his prices while silver has skyrocketed. Price was melt - 10% 😉

Hi Darren- nice pick-up.  You’ll find information here: 
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=Rhodesia&p=1&x=0&y=0
I have this Rhodesia 10 Shillings coin NGC PF66- I bought it from @Marc in its original box and outer box.
Marc will have lots of information on these Rhodesian Proof coins- they were a one off issue in Gold in 1966 to mark Rhodesian Independence.  They were either individually sold or in a three coin set- 5 Pound, 1 Pound & Ten Shillings- each same weight of their Sovereign equivalents.
They are very attractive, particularly the 5 Pound- and there won’t be any more given the demise of Rhodesia in the 1980’s. Here’s mine, I wish I owned the set! (Photos of the Set & 5 pound curtesy of Marc). 

Hit up a coin shop that I know don’t update their silver coin prices often. Picked up some way under spot coins. 
Been busy mining eBay too and picked up some decent bargains, pics when they land. 

I picked up these today without knowing a huge amount about them, good price though. Have anyone come across them before? 

Lovely raw coin, don't often come across raw coins in this grade 😍👌

Well I have been after one of these stunners since the day I first saw one as a kid. When this came up it was a no brainer. Looks cool sitting with his copper and silver buddies. Thanks @arshimo2012 another stunning coin

On the way home  i started thinking"SHOULD I WEIGH IN at the "scrappies" 
THAT RUBBISH METAL"
that unfortunately came with the "NICE BOXES"!!!???

Well not actually received today, it was yesterday! 😂

Received a good collection of US Gold...Huge “Thanks!” to @ZGrizzlyWord for the additional 2016 Centennial Gold coins.
Firstly, the stunning 2016-W 1/4 oz Gold Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar Centennial.

Also, the diminutively attractive  2016-W 1/10 oz Gold Mercury Dime Centennial.

Had to go for a little pre-33 coinage as well, with the latest addition of this beautiful 1899 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle!

And to round out the gold with a touch of silver, in compliment of the 2016-W 1/4 oz Gold Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar Centennial, a grand original 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter Type-1 in BU!

Nearly finished my back filling of queens beasts thanks to @arshimo2012 plus my first JM bars 👍
And my first older libby
