asheland · June 27, 2019 8:50AM

It arrived last night. Sweet bar, worth the premium to have an example... ($18.50 oz) delivered.

Let’s see what you guys got this week!

Downtown1974 · June 27, 2019 9:09AM

Those 20oz. Scottsdale bars are nice! Very chunky in the hand. I used to have one but I sold it in a deal when I switched most of my silver holdings to gold. Didn’t pick up any new metals but my LCS had a few of these plastic holders that I like for my raw AGEs.

Timbuk3 · June 27, 2019 11:53AM

Sweet pick-up !!!

Hemispherical · June 27, 2019 12:09PM

Awesome bar!

Hungry and the first thing I thought of was the chocolate when I read the thread title. Now to find an edible KitKat.

ricko · June 27, 2019 12:09PM

I do like the silver bar and the Scottsdale Lion... I have some of their silver (not bars)...I have the Lion's head one too...Cheers, RickO

asheland · June 27, 2019 12:19PM

I wasn't a buyer this week for myself. My furnace has been running nonstop though. Firing up right away in the morning again.
Only way premiums on $20's will ever go up is if we keep melting them.

home at last

What's the advantage of melting them? Don't you get melt price either way? I'm a fan of pre-33 gold as bullion because of the convenient sizes and coins' histories.

MsMorrisine · June 28, 2019 12:58PM

Melting pre. Is an act of treason.

Actually many of the raw pieces are back of melt by 1-3%. By melting everything Im netting 99.5% from my refiner.

Most of what was melted in this lot was damaged in one way or another. I only brought its tortured life to an end. If I could post a video I would show how quickly it turns to a puddle.

Step up and buy 100+ damaged pieces at melt a month.

ricko · June 29, 2019 4:57AM

@Jinx86.... I would like to see a video of your coins melting...I have not done that, it would be interesting. Cheers, RickO

Why is that? You aren't refining the gold, just changing the shape, so why would the refiner reduce the discount 2X to 6X? At 1% back versus .5%, I wonder if you cover the cost of the fuel to bring your furnace up to temp...

WildIdea · June 29, 2019 6:19AM

I don’t think I could melt those eagles but it’s not my gold. If it makes since to you jinx, I say do it. I know a little bit different, but I’m going to melt all these perfectly crafted Franklin mint commemorative coins and use the sterling to cast my own amateur homemade medal with. I know somebody will probably think that’s a shame. I went to my local coin shop and said I need some sterling for my project and he said I got just the right thing and whipped those out. This will cast 2 of my medals.

Downtown1974 · June 29, 2019 7:03AM

@WildIdea looks like a sleeve of silver Ritz crackers.

asheland · July 1, 2019 8:53AM

Newp today!

asheland · July 1, 2019 8:54AM

Low mintage coins, I like the 80’s and 90’s pandas.
I’m probably in them strong, but got them for $50 each.

Downtown1974 · July 1, 2019 9:10AM

@asheland Love the variety of your collection of both silver and gold. Nice mix of premium rounds to old poured bars! If ya don’t mind, I may reach out to you and pick your brain about a gold type set I’m starting. Nothing compared to yours, but I want to venture out of gold bullion and into some older gold.

Any time! Just ask, I'm happy to help...

Scottsdale 100 grams bars and cast silver tarantula...

ricko · March 25, 2021 6:50AM

@spirityoda1.... Where is the silver tarantula available? Or was it a one of a kind? Cheers, RickO

spirityoda1 · March 25, 2021 6:53AM

@ricko It was bought on Ebay. The seller casts them and then bends them. I will see of I can find it for you. No 2 are the same.

MilesWaits · March 25, 2021 7:06AM

Cool, very cool, high premium

coiner · March 26, 2021 6:41PM

99.5% on assay. Good luck on that one.

spirityoda1 · March 26, 2021 9:10PM

And now I have 6 Scottsdale 100 gram bars... I love these. It feels like pirate treasure.

spirityoda1 · March 26, 2021 9:15PM

Here is my own actual silver tarantula to show you it is just a little different... I also collect spiders (not real ones).

spirityoda1 · March 26, 2021 9:19PM

My not really spiders collection...

@spirityoda1... Now that is something I have never thought of collecting.... Spiders. My wife would be most upset .., But now I am intrigued. Might look for a silver one anyway.... (She will get used to it... ). Cheers, RickO

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 8:46AM

@ricko I also collect some Hot Wheels cars...

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 8:47AM

ricko · March 27, 2021 8:59AM

@spirityoda1.... Very nice.... I have never collected those. I collect firearms and marbles mainly.... along with coins of course....That consumes the disposable income... Cheers, RickO

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 9:19AM

@ricko I only have 1 gun Glock 19 Gen5 9mm

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 9:20AM

I would like to see your Marbles collection.

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 9:21AM

I also collect cat figurines. I have 3 real cats. They are my kids.

ricko · March 27, 2021 10:33AM

@spirityoda1.... These are just my Guineas and Cobras.... Many, many, many others. Firearms number close to sixty.
Cheers, RickO

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 10:45AM

Those are amazing. Are they Italian glass ?

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 11:09AM

Do you have more in your marble collection ?

spirityoda1 · March 27, 2021 11:09AM

I think I have a large chrome ball bearing around here that could pass a large marble ? lol

spirityoda1 · March 28, 2021 9:03AM

@rinko No marbles yet, but I have 1 glass paperweight and other stuff...bismuth crystals and copper nugget and a malachite dish...and a dragon...

ricko · March 29, 2021 6:06AM

@spirityoda1.... No, they are not Italian glass... they are old marbles, made here in the United States. Yes, I have lots more marbles of different types... all old. Nice Malachite....Mineral crystals are interesting. Cheers, RickO
