Thanks @Gordon for this IRB 4th Portrait Half.  

Today I received!

A nice fat 1/2 kilo Lunar S1 piggy.
only 962 minted

I've always had the buffalo on my list of gold coins to buy. A 1oz gold reverse proof one came up recently from @Sovereign at spot price so of course I couldn't miss that. From what I understand these were only minted in 2013. The grade isn't particularly high despite the fact that I can't see any visible marks but I can't complain with a spot price purchase!
 

Also today’s at or below spot haul. The 1/4 eagle is first year of issue, although that doesn’t mean much as it’s also the highest mintage lol.

You know you have a winner when something looks interesting. Salvaged these from being melt. The SKorean one goes for a fair premium.
cant find any info on the Japanese Medal

Picked this 2005 half sovereign from my local bullion dealer in the High Street for £150. I was expecting it to be a bit more but I'm not complaining. 

A few more and a Florin
 

Thanks to another hero from the Forum for this pretty little "TRIO"!
AWESOME thanks @Pete
 

A fistful of... well, 50 cents and a couple Aussie florins, plus a Kalgoorlie Bullion Exchange bar. 🇦🇺 🙃

Hi all.
Today I received... this 1847 Shield Back Sovereign with the striking error on the N in Britanniarum. Anyone had a similar coin, share any insight? Might call it a Willy Wonka... 

Impulse buy - 2014 India Half Sovereign.

Spot buy 1993 1/10 gold panda. 

Rocketing gold prices has slowed down my purchases but I could not resist purchasing this panda for the melt value 

American Liberty High Relief Silver Medal. Very happy with the design even though it's not to everyone taste.

A big thank you to RegalStacker for a deal on this from his vast array of quality coins 👍.  I might be eating beans on toast for the next six months but worth every penny.😀


 
 

Yes, and joins my little collection of all time favourite designs:


(all PF70UC, even the 2001/2003 iterations)
 
but nothing tops the 5oz High Relief for the “reverse”

Received back from grading as a teaser from @Numistacker (and I think the going rate maxes out SD insurance)

Back from grading. Mixed results but we go again
 

Received today from Numistacker. Well pleased, Big Thanks.

May may have over done it on my trip to the royal mint experience today
