    That is neat. Big silver wall hanger there. What is the diameter of this 32oz monster?

    moursund:

    WOW ! Twice as big !

    If I saw that I "May" have gotten it. The one I got today is from a dealer I have dealt with for quite a while and fully trust.

    Thanks for your post.

    Very unique and so BIG …. Good thing; caging is unnecessary ☺️

    Not as big a coin (5 troy oz), but the fangs are bigger:
