Here is my new pickup. I just had to buy it just to post it here for Blitz. LOL. A real nice vintage United States Silver Corporation 100.5-ounce bar from 1973-1976. Poured with Englehard silver and struck with two very large coinage dies.
This is a short video of one. Not mine. It gives you an idea of the thickness. The company also owned the Galena mine in N. Idaho. I worked summers underground at both silver mines on each side of it the same time this was made, in 1973, 1974, and 1976. Bunker Hill and Lucky Friday Mines. A special bar for sure.

Nice!
I need to start going back and looking again, I kind of quit for a while.
@USMC_6115 What a great set of Onzas! How long did that take to put together?
I picked up an UNC baggy $5 piece last week. NGC MS61
The price was right and it has super reflective fields both front & back.

Just a little over three years! Well worth it.. Nice gold! Love gold no matter what it looks like
@asheland that is an absolute stunner! I’ve yet to add any southern branch gold to my collection, but it’s on my list.
Congratulations on a beautiful newp!
Taco Bell food is probably better than what I just had at a local Mexican restaurant.
I am fortunate to have Way better authentic local family owned Mexican restaurants to choose from.
Couple things about Taco Bell, you don't have to tip the waiter and you can stock up on condiments.
I used to live in south Miami-Dade County where there were some terrific small family-owned Mexican restaurants that only the locals knew about. Delicious! But I still love Taco Bell food. I even own an angry 3-legged chihuahua!
@dcarr That's just some guacamole and "fire" sauce on the (cleaned) silver dollar. I have yet to wrap a coin in a Taco Bell napkin to tone it.
I too am a fan of Mexican food. One of the biggest things I miss since the move from Texas to The Commonwealth. That wonderful Tex-Mex is gone but at least I can still find these. RGDS!

I love their food and their coins! I got this a couple of months ago:

I have always liked Silver, but lately I’ve really warmed up to Gold… It seems the higher it gets the more intriguing it is to me!
Anyway, this week, I got two humble, but very nice little gold coins for the collection:
Very nice, I have several of the Gold Mercs but still raw OMP. Wanted a slabbed one for quite some time but still yet to become a reality. Please let me know if you ever decide to get rid of her. She's a beauty. RGDS!
This is probably going in the mail to try crossover. Unfortunately, I could no longer find a PCGS version that was affordable.
I believe they will let it get a first strike label but will not allow it to be first day of issue label.

How much for the half ounce bar?
I had one about 20 years ago that went missing.
**Shoot me a PM if you want to move it along.

Love that 5 oz. Engelhard! Terrific pour lines. 👍

Really had to step up to secure these…
FINALLY completed the 1 Ounce Silver Mexican Libertad Set... waiting on the 2024 to come out:
The 91 and 98 are in slabs so you can see through where the flip would be making it look like the coins are out of order..
Impressive set!
I’m looking for the perfect 1oz silver in MS68 to accompany the gold I got recently:

Awesome. I love the grade. CNGRTS!
Edit: and would absolutely love to own it. Enjoy her.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
Thanks guys!

Eating at Taco Bell is a tradition of mine on recycling runs, so, Taco Bell and silver dollars!

Did you wrap that Morgan in the Taco Bell napkin ?
Admit it, you go to Taco Bell for the napkins more than the food, am I right ?
