Hard to compete with that Weiss! Very prosperous year for you.
Well 2019 was the beginning of my branching out of modern gold bullion and into pre-33 gold. So in between my AGE purchases, I added some old US gold and a bit of world gold.
In honor of my new found interest, I present the start of my gold type set.

Not my best but decent:

RonB

Spanish Gold Doubloon (2 Escudos)
Assayer D /V (1611-17)

JohnnyCache

Alright, so I know these are not bullion, but they are silver and gold and I bought them in 2019...so...

Kliao

My treasure trove of cheap Sterling .

Downtown1974

@Kliao incredible stash of sterling. Since I don’t display any of my PMs, I would love to pick up some nice sterling flatware and some decanters to have on display on a nice antique hutch cabinet.

Weiss

Gorgeous stuff!

Some shots I took in the last 12 months to keep the eye candy porn popping:

I’ve seen some neat stuff posted this year on Fridays. Thanks for sharing people.

My personal favorite of the year was landing a pair of Homestake silver kilo bars.

I can’t forget this chubby 5 ozer either

Thanks. I’m not selling at this point unless it’s worth some historical value. I’ll let you know if I will sell for metal value anytime soon.

That Duro bar is the bomb, @WildIdea !

And that 8 Sol rainbow is amazing, @JohnnyCache !

Weiss

This one is NOT mine, but was just made by the same goldsmith who made my 5 troy ounce gold chain last year. This cuban link necklace is a full kilo and then some of .9999 pure gold

Nice vintage bars and South Pacific chart.

They are High-Relief which look awesome in hand, much better than just a plain Art Round

I would think that’s what it means. Fine or Full. I’ll have to weigh it just to see how many grams it actually is.

Extruded. I’m a huge sucker for trapezoid bars!
