Many thanks go to @backyardbullion
 

Today I got a nice delivery 
 First bit of gold Only 10g and over 100 oz of silver
 Can't  believe how quick the delivery was from the
europeanmint.com
only 2 days wow.

Not many of these to the pound...

And You can’t get any of these to the pound...




Much appreciation to @kneehow2018 who always packages the coins he sends meticulously and throw in his lightning fast delivery and your onto a winner!
Why not give him a try:
 

Better late than never, only just had a chance to get everything together. Full gold stack, been exactly 6months, im 2 sovs shy of aprox 30oz which is my short term target. Will continue to pick up the remaining beasts and also some sovs but slowing down a lot unless theres a major dip in prices as have other projects starting soon. 

Keep it in, or take it out?
 

Bought this with a 10% off voucher i had.........My first gold of 2019

Damn the high premium-I just had to get a couple of these exquisite London 1oz silver bars from Sharps Pixley. They came in a nice little black bag too. 

Not received today as there is no post but did get them a couple of days ago thanks to @MickD

Just treated myself to one of these at a very good price. Couldn't resist. 

Shame!  its such a good looking coin aswell

Not pm but still a cracking 2009 proof set.
As I was away at work for Christmas doing Christmas now and this was a present from my brother.

Just received my Christmas Draw price today:  my first 2oz Queen's Beast Unicorn 2018.  Maybe a start for a new addiction, thanks to @smiddy28
Very happy to end 2018 like this

Thanks @smiddy28 and a happy new year for all of the forum members, may all be blessed with loads of new silver in 2019 and even more important a good health for 2019 and the years that follow ...
 

Picked up one of these 2019 Bottlenose Dolphins today. Quality is decent. 

Albeit that I have allowed myself some nice distractions along the way, I have finally added these two year dates to complete the eight released ‘red box’ editions of Half Sovereigns.  This in my wider quest to fill a 1980 through to present day, date run of Half Proof Sovereigns.  How I admire these little coins.  





And one of the distractions received today

Got this in my loose change today and for some reason it immediately reminded me of that great show "Blockbusters". For those of you old enough to remember it was always a source of great hilarity when the the contestant said "I need a P please Bob". Gotta dash now need a......

 

My real x-mas present.. the chocolate coins were just a ruse! Some proof Britannias 2015, 2016 and the infamous 2017 by that kid designer.

Today I received  - - - - >>  a gorgeous 1918 "India" sovereign thanks to @gold

A lovely 1988 proof .925 sterling £1 coin.

Only chocolate coins for me!😔

Yep. And it gets even more interesting when you read the intro and the RMs use of package engineering, whereby they sell a coin for substantially more by changing the packaging - reference to Trial of the Pyx
Also notes on RM using packaging to shift damaged 'proof' coins for even more than proof versions, rather than melting them down! 
Good to know.
Perhaps worthy of its own thread I think
