The Never Ending FRIDAY Metals Thread!

Kliao · July 17, 2020 11:41AM

Was in a US coins thread:
I was watching people CHR on YouTube before I got started. It’s one of the things that got me into numismatics and PM’s.
Here is my entire Half dollar Coin roll hunting stash to date(other than a couple rolls I sold). Been at least a year since I searched another box. 50 1964’s, 171 40%’s plus 11 Franklins , 6 walkers , 1 Commemorative (With a hole), and a 40% bicentennial. Thought this was a really cool picture of all of them.

I do not know how many years/boxes those finds represent.... I am certain though, that you have had much better luck than I have had searching rolls of halves. One WLH in the last two years....Cheers, RickO

I can’t recall my self. It was a lot. There was a period where I was searching 4 boxes each time about every 2 weeks! My best one was 3 boxes where I had 50 silver. All 90% and that’s where the majority of the 1964, Franklin, and walkers came from.

@asheland Nice! You could probably get some money for that on eBay.

ricko · July 19, 2020 5:04AM

Nice pickup for $2...I would have done the same. I always picked up cheap (real) gold rings when I saw them at yard sales...make good casual gifts for kids - real gold and they appreciate it. Cheers, RickO

Nice Coin Roll Hunting! I haven't done it in years, But my best box was 9 silvers. I then went on to get skunked on about $6000 worth...

Some cool additions to the collection last couple weeks.

ricko · July 22, 2020 7:55AM

@cmanbb .... Really nice gold, and those sequentially numbered bars are great. Cheers, RickO

Thanks DT.....
Father time, and spot has played a large part with my collection, and of course the decision to start a fews ago...🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Friday Newp!

actually a trade

I traded a $20 lib and $5 lib. Melt for melt they were within $20 bucks of each other. I believe the silver has more room for improvement.

Kliao · July 24, 2020 4:34PM

Neat bar! It says 100+ OZ How much extra silver did you get

asheland · July 27, 2020 4:07AM

I weighed it actually. It’s like 100.14.

asheland · July 27, 2020 4:08AM

I added the emoji.

A nice unexpected Thursday pick up. Only 300 minted by the Philadelphia mint! A chunky 8.55 Troy oz 900 fine silver medal.
I really like this one!

Nice I like

ricko · July 27, 2020 7:57AM

@johnny9434.... That piece is beautiful....Definitely one I would look to acquire if seen at a show. Cheers, RickO

Downtown1974 · July 28, 2020 5:43AM

Took delivery on the bullion last week. The Morgans came yesterday.

ricko · July 28, 2020 6:43AM

@Downtown1974 ... You have already made a profit.... Cheers, RickO

Today:

Kliao · July 31, 2020 10:43AM

This just came in! A nice score on eBay. Paid basically $1545 an ounce shipped not including the 14k bezel. 1895 gold sovereign (.2354OZT. AGW.) minted in Melbourne Mint, Australia with the M mint mark above the date. Still having trouble removing the bezel as the screw seems to be fried. Overall nice coin with Victoria on it.

Update:
I just broke it out of the bezel. Easier than I thought

Thanks! Was really happy when I got it.

They go well with my set of commonwealth sovereigns for cheap! (Way Below melt) now just need to find a Victoria young head and jubilee head.
My average price for all three is $1,323.75/oz. With the cheapest being the George V at $1161.06/oz. Plus 2.28g. Of pure gold in bezels removed from the Victoria and George V sovereigns.

asheland · August 3, 2020 7:56AM

Indeed sovereigns are fun...

MsMorrisine · August 3, 2020 3:42PM

can I fill in for you on your days off?

Kliao · August 3, 2020 4:55PM

I have no days off.... I’m 15 waiting for school to start again! But these are scarce to find you just get lucky. The George V sovereign was bought over a year ago.

Nothing big this week:

asheland · August 4, 2020 12:35PM

Cool bar!

Jimnight · August 4, 2020 3:38PM

Up ... Up and away!

asheland · August 4, 2020 3:41PM

A couple of interesting, I'm assuming south western pieces today...

USMC_6115 · August 4, 2020 7:31PM

I like the look of the one above so much..... I bought another:

ricko · August 5, 2020 7:00AM

That coyote pin is unique.... I lived for many years in the southwest and I do not recall seeing that one before. Cheers, RickO

asheland · August 6, 2020 5:06PM

NEWP
$300

What are your opinions of the file mark on the back? It’s old, but someone did indeed file to check it at some point in the past. It’s still slightly over 10 Troy ozs, so no harm to the weight, but would it bother you as a collector?

Just curious...

Kliao · August 6, 2020 5:20PM

Neat bar. Don’t know about the file mark though. I wonder how much extra silver there was including the part missing.
This arrived yesterday.

Probably 1/5 of a gram tops.

Nice. Seems to be made in the early days of JM. Which do you think it is?

Not sure, they really look similar
Anyway, that file mark bothered me so I sold it to a friend. I coincidentally found something similar but better
Picture in a minute...

asheland · August 7, 2020 3:53PM

Today’s Engelhard NEWP!

Kliao · August 7, 2020 4:10PM

So if the file mark bothered you will the acid test mark bother you on this one?

Wingsrule · August 7, 2020 5:24PM

Nice. Seems to be made in the early days of JM. Which do you think it is?
https://allengelhard.com/ag-10oz/

I would vote the second one listed. Small logo with wide spacing on the 9s. Would need to put side by side with another one to confirm. Can you provide dims on the bar?

Unfortunately no. It sold earlier today.

I actually thought the same thing the moment I saw it, but, that’s actually not from acid, that occurred when it was being poured, probably slag from the crucible...

This one is completely original and I love it! 👍

If it were mine, I'd dip it to see if I could get rid of that stain. Very neat bar in any event.
