I went to the local B&M today and found a few goodies. I bought 3 A-Mark mini loaf bars 2 had a different top than the rest of the ones I have with .999 followed by Silver, Silber, Fedha, etc.
I got a Trans Alaska Pipeline bar commemorating 25 years of operation 1977-2002 with a neat picture on the back of the pipeline, mountains and a ship.
A Tennesee Volunteers bar from the 1990-91 season made by the Southern Mint Co.
A Knife Collectors are sharp round with a picture of a hunting knife and folding pocket knife on one side and a picture of an eagle similiar to a walking liberty half dollar on the other side made by Silvertowne.
A Tombstone, Arizona bar that reads "THE TOWN TO TUFF TO DIE" on one side and a tombstone on the other side that reads Here Lies Lester Moore Four Slugs from a 44 No Les No More.
A 1 oz. round which reads Cargill and the American Farmer partners for 125 years 1865-1990 on one side and Cargill Hybrid seeds with a picture of a farmer looking towards his farm and combine. I thought this was neat as I farm for a living.
2-5 gram JM Silver bars complete with certificate of authenticity dated June 10 1981.
Last but not least one of my favorite items are Homestake mine bars and today I struck Gold or in this case Silver as he had a Kilo bar dated 1980 and a 1 ounce round that reads Homestake 1876-1993 on one side and Homestake Gold Mine Lead, S. Dak. People Working Together with a picture of 9 various people who appear to be workers on the other side.
All of these were purchased for 50 cents an oz. over spot.

Now your next step is to keep an eye out for a 10 oz Homestake bar
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
<< <i>sounds like some neat stuff! The homestake kilo was a great pickup

The dealer knows about the premiums on 10 oz. homestake bars but didn't know on the kilo along with some other tough bars...go figure.
<< <i>Pics man, pics. >>
Maybe you can enlighten me as I don't know $hit about pasting photo's. I don't have a digital camera so do I need to get one or just use my regular camera??? A while ago I did take some pictures of my 104.52 oz. along with 49.96 and 50.21 oz. Homestake bars maybe I could post them, although the picture quality isn't the best.
