Hello dear silver friends, not today but yesterday I received the 10oz Kookaburra 2021. I know the coin is very expensive, but I am still very happy to have one in my collection. Greetings from Maxe.

Today I received a 1 oz panda from @Pandao. I am slowly going back and picking up the previous dates so I can have a date run at some point in the future. Wish me luck!

1902 Proof florin

Received my 1oz proof and 3 x BU's this morning. Very happy. 
As a point of note, following BYB's recent video relating to the shoddy packaging, I can confirm that my 1oz came in a dedicated box, within a larger outer box filled with scrunched up paper. Can't argue with that👍.
BU's came separately in cardboard envelope.
Maybe Royal Mint watched the vid??

Coins are starting to arrive. Fun fun.
I ended up getting #oo6 for two coins! 
 
10 oz Silver and 2 oz Gold. They both look awesome. @BackyardBullion posted pics of the 10 oz but here are some pics of the 2 oz gold in case you haven’t seen it in the wild yet. The size  and clarity of the Panther is perfect.
 
 

One of mine came today to
 

My first 1oz arrived and wow!! 😍
I’m very impressed, it seems flawless and I was lucky to get a low certificate number too for what it’s worth.
I know we’ve all seen them but I can’t stop looking at it.

Arrived today.  Big thank you to @gsimpson for my Christmas Draw prize, and to BYB for shipping it to me.  #140 BYB Silver Forum 100g bar.  Joins my small "never sell" pile of treasures.  Thank you again.

20 1 oz rounds.  Last tube to complete a 500 oz monster box of cheap bullion that will be my "first to sell" if and when that time comes.

Went to one of the LCS' near my home today and bought a few coins for my U.S. Type Set.
1853 Braided Hair Large Cent, 1889 Liberty Nickel, 1839 Capped Bust Half Dollar reeded edge, and a 1906 Proof Liberty Nickel.  The proof isn't going into my type set album.  I just bought it because I liked it and I don't have any proof coins anywhere near that old.

Picked up 6 of the latest Egyptian Gods series rounds from Provident.  Sekhmet 2 oz.

… and here’s the bunc £5 ones.
Nice packaging too, again not had any in the RM packaging before, although I do have some bunc 50p coins, just the coins, not packaged up. Anyone else collect 50p’s? 🤔
Another newbie question I’m afraid - is it better to leave them sealed rather than removing from the outer film packet to view the packaging? 🤔
….Blimey, this collecting lark is far more complicated than stacking bullion! 😂😂

Well, number 2348 has landed! 😁 1oz silver proof, along with 2 bunc £5 coins…
Hope they show up in the post, not added any pictures here on the iPad before 🤔
 


 
hoping the marks visible are dust etc on the capsule - newbie question, is it ok to open capsule to view the surface of the coin? I know not to touch without cotton gloves, or at all if possible, but not sure about opening the capsule…? Thanks
Bob

ok my silver ones haven't arrived yet but the 1oz Gold has... Stunning
 

Got my first 2 1/4 oz golds and I do like them. Couldnt get the light quite right but hopefully you get the idea.  Nice artwork on the box and 


 
 
 
 

Received my 1oz, 2oz and 5oz very happy especially with the 5oz 

Yea Im not as experienced as you but they look smashing to my untrained eye. 
I could have got a lower mintage number, but I doubt that matters unless your in double digits does it??

Two of my 1oz proofs come today , looking perfect , beautiful coins can’t wait for the rest to be realeased

AMAZING 
No milk, no scratches and perfect coins.
WELL DONE ROYAL MINT
This set is stunning and will be a winner in my opinion. 
Video tomorrow showcasing the 1 oz and 10 oz coins.
WOW, impressed. 

Popped into town and picked this 1/10oz Krugerrand earlier. Looks like a fondled proof. 

One gold and more silver 😍😍😍😍

 
 

Not quite received yet but I’ll take some good news… will be with me shortly 🤩

Did it make sense to buy the Australian Lunar Tiger in the UK while, on a budget, there are cheaper coins? NO
Did I buy it anyway because it is stunningly beautiful? YES
