I've been waiting for a kilo kook but it doesn't look like they're anywhere to be seen, so I got a 10oz before they dissappear, 11 2oz turtles which seem to rattle about in the tube and get a little beat up, a libertad and a panda.

Really really pleased with this one - excellent presentation and a lovely coin. 1,000 mintage and a first of type. get thee some...last week, only 104 remained...excellent in the hand...yes it is weighs in at just 3.1g but the whole presentation and mintage and even the colouring of the certificate and box etc just makes it feel right...hard to explain....First RAM buy for me and impressed with their quality control.
 
 
edit - just checked and it's down to 71, so will be sold out at the Mint within a month of issue at this rate. I smell a possible series coming and even if not, no problem. Anyway, nicely played by the RAM. Happy camper here.
 

I need to go to some coin fairs I think.
Latest 2 oz proof kook for the embyonic collection, from top man Arshi.

I went to a coin fair today. I saw this 1993 panda and immediately thought it was a fake (It was way too cheap if genuine). Then I went back to look a second and third time and eventually thought it was worth a gamble as I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It feels right - the quality of the minting and the fur seem good. The weight and size are correct. The reeding is correct. The stairs to the temple are correct. There is some toning around the edge indicating that is at least not very new. It's no big deal if it's not right - as I said it was very cheap - but would like an opinion from a panda enthusiast

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.
