Shame about the big thumb print in the middle of the bar.

1g 2016 Disney Note from JuneYao Group which was sold through Shanghai Pudong Development Bank
$5 Indian Head from HGM.  Didn't think I would get it as I took so long looking up the stats to work out the % over spot since HGM no longer display it.  I missed out on the $2.5 a week or 2 ago for the same reason.
Australian Domed Southern Sky 1oz Gold Coin from the New Zealand Mint.  Very nice packaging.

The details look right to me, with the exception to the rays coming off the sun.  They don't seem very uniform in thickness and don't appear to come to a point like knitting needles.  It might just be the photo though.

i got a 1kilo PAMP Suisse Fortuna bar from Atkinsons. I thought about it for a bit and then got the rest.

Today received this beauty...

Today I received my first China Lunar Coin. 2012 Dragon Proof.
 
 

2011 China Lunar Rabbit 1/10th Gold & 1 oz Silver Commemorative Coin Set

Can't say I'm keen on the designs, they seem very cartoon/juvenile for my taste.

Yes some people do think they are somewhat cartoonish. I have the same from Andy and i agree i prefer that design. 
i showed the coin from Lucky just now to someone and they loved it. "Really cute" - they are both collectibles and very limited mintages.

Picked up a couple more of the 20g silver Rabbit Yuan Baos because I quite like them.
Also picked up some COAs for the bullion Gold Panda sets just for completeness.  I don't quite understand how their mintage on the COA works.  I thought it was based on the max number of possible sets based on the coin with the lowest mintage of any given year.  2011 says 71k sets despite 200k as the lowest mintage coin.  Must be the maximum number of COA sets that they will offer out which is a bit weird given that the other ones seem to be based on max possible full sets. Odd.

Where did you get your 150g proof Panda?
i ordered one from Lucky. 
These coins look the business. i have thought about collecting them before but when others on the forum started to show an interest i went for this one and if i like it which i am sure i will then i'll go for other years. 

1 x 2016 and 1 x 2017  Somali Elephants , great prize many thanks SilverSniper.

As much natural light as possible :). My home office is dark, I really could do a better job if I actually had a setup, but I dont!

I really love them just beautiful

New 2017 brit!
 

Finally arrived this morning.... beautiful.

2017 sovereign came today and it looks great. Wish it was the colour of old sovs but never mind.
Also a comparison with last year's proof, more detail on Liz but less on George.
Forgot to say when it arrived it was only a 48tracked service not even a bloody signed for!!!
