    I'm afraid I can't, nibanny. These all went into the vault today. Well except for the TWO SILVER 1970 Pilgrim pieces in the middle image

    ASW for all pieces combined is 62.8434 tr oz.

    Thanks, ricko. To be honest, I only really like a few of them. The pilgrim pieces are great, tho Barndog's got the originals in copper, I believe, and they're gorgeous. A few of the Toivo pieces are spectacular. Great engravers (how could we not love massive, old, and somewhat rare silver medals dedicated to St. Gaudens, Morgan, VDB, etc). But a few of them are borderline goofy. And the Illinois, Indiana, and Madison pieces were uber cheap bullion purchases that were going into the melt bucket so I snagged them.

    I forgot to add a piece to show scale, but fortunately I have some shots of when I got the Toivo pieces early last year. You can see the reverses of some of them, too:

    here are images of the piece Weiss mentioned. Note the difference in the date (the silver pieces he has and the white metal piece I own are dated 1970, whereas this piece is dated 1920).

    Anytime you want to sell one or both of the silver pieces, Weiss image

    Man, I'd like to hang around that bullion melt bucket when you get tired of it! Nice Medals!

    Shucks. Thanks, guys. They're not a good choice for SHTF buyers. But I've got 90% and .999 covered. So well-marked and interesting pieces, especially pieces with a known history and a .999 composition, are kind of a neat addition to the pile.
