PM Show report for Lakeland, FL.

SilverBaron

Just got back from spending Friday at the Lakeland, FL. show. [just out side of Tampa, going on today & Sunday as well].

This show has about 75 tables of coins & several tables of "other" items.

There is LOTS of gold .... A little silver .... and maybe a few oz's of Pt & Pd on the floor.

Prices were all over the place. I have never had such a WIDE variety of quotes for the same item at the same show!!

Just to give you a general idea of asking prices ....

SILVER.....
1 oz generic rounds.... spot + .50 to $2
10 oz bar. [not a lot to be had ... less now] ... spot + .60 to $4
100 oz. bar. spot + .60 to $1
90% was being bought at 10x and sold at 11.5x
Circ silver $ selling at $16

GOLD.... [all 1 oz.]
Eagles spot +$70
Maples & K-Rands spot +$50
Buffalows spot + $110 to $170

I will not bother you with the standard items I picked up ..... soooooo... a few of the better items that I bought home
[ please, no comments about the pixs ... all the bars, both sides, are Mint/Prooflike ..I do not know why some of the surfaces look hazy]

I did find these 2 Suisse 1/2 oz silver bars for $10 each.... Anybody know what the building is?









And then I spotted this bar. 1 oz bars are easy to find. 2 oz JM's are a bit harder to find.
( Perfect bar ... rotten pix)




This is a 5 oz gold made for Bache by JM. The 10 oz bars are actually easier to find ... but not afford!!
( Another perfect bar w/ a rotten pix ....... some day .......)





If you are within driving distance and have some time for an enjoyable show .... head on over to the Lakeland convention center.


Untill next time .... Keep on stack'n!!

Excellent buys. Do you happen to have the JM 2oz silver bar in your collection? It is also a hard to find bar, and would make a neat companion to that JM gold 2 ouncer!

Do you happen to have the JM 2oz silver bar in your collection?

Yes. Neat Neat Neat

Neat stuff and cool report!

I believe the "building" in your 1/2 oz PAMP bar is Mecca in Saudi Arabia. PAMP produced several different bars for Saudi Arabia .. Also, I've never seen a PAMP bar with Fortuna facing to the right and with that particular design. ( PS..after a closer look....that bar is not a PAMP bar, but a RAMI?)

nice gold thanks for the report!

OPA ...

OK..... Took a closer look at it ..... and ...... You are RIGHT.

It is a R A M I ...... both in the large logo at the top & the smaller one at the bottom.

Know anything about it? The styling is so close to a PAMP. Made for the mid-east?
Weight and "look" are right.... so I am sure that it is .999 Silver.

Thousand Thanks for identifing the building!!

If you are attending the show, please stop by and say hi at Commercial Rare Coin / Brian Kuszmar's table - Center aisle at the back right side on an L.

If I'd known you be cruisin' for bars & rounds I would asked BK to take his mighty collection. Neat stuff accumlated over the years.

Is it odd that dealers are selling 90% for 11.50x? if silver is at 16.29 then 90% should be at least 11.78x? Is it common to sell for less than spot for 90%?

thanx for the "boots on the ground" report

The building with the colonnade is indeed the Masjid Al Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. I have that design in one ounce gold by Pamp Suisse, though it has upturned crescents on the tops of the two minarets.
