Slim pickins' again this week, but at least a couple of better than average pieces. 1993 Libertad in a Littleton holder. High end MS, beautiful strike. And a 1-oz JM bar in plastic. Both for about a buck over melt each:

Downtown1974 · February 24, 2012 12:02AM

The JMs are my favorite bar.

I picked up 24 oz. this week.
1 roll of 2012 eagles, and some slabbed eagles.

24 ounces is a hefty stack!

Tiny tear in this tiny bar's plastic allowed for tiny a pretty metallic prune splash...

I joined the platinum revolution.

Keep on stacking!

Three pickups this week: I was looking for a poured ABC bar, the Engelhard is an unusual poured "P" series bar and the gold commemorative was 5% over melt.

Barndog · February 24, 2012 3:31AM

six Maple Leaf coins, all dated 1990 and sealed in that plastic stuff

freechance · February 24, 2012 6:19AM

some 90% and some .999

$10 face Franklins/Walkers and an ASE thrown in

Got a roll of Barber Halves from a board member here....

Going to a show on Sunday and will update on what I get there if anything

In the early 70s the FTC closed down this company. Among the charges were that they could
not deliver all of the silver they sold paper on. Guess the Comex didn't need the competition.

Another different JM 10oz for the stack.

I was able to buy 15 commem dollars (olympic and Statue of Liberty) for $25 each. Some of
the sets had halves too.

Lot of Nice pickups

Really like that "ABC" Bar

CCC2010 · February 24, 2012 8:55AM

I really like that 10oz JM bar!

So did I!

And few odd size Silver bars...

Yep, very cool!

TIPPAHNUM · February 24, 2012 10:03AM

Found this at the Memphis Coin Club Show today...

Thanks. Last year I found a lot of nice Englehards, this year seems to be JM. I go by the same BM every day so I don't miss anything.

Got these a few weeks ago.

LukeMarshall · February 24, 2012 10:53AM

Nice pieces everyone!!!

I'm a little late to the party but I have a question...

What is better than a kilo bar?

Answer = 2 kilo bars!

I like the look of the JM 500 gram bar.

coinnerd · February 24, 2012 12:49PM

I've never seen this type before. Is the lettering raised and the SN stamped?

Definitely an arousing display....

Cheers, RickO

Here's a piece of precious metal I hope to purchase this Monday.
After I quit peeing my pants, I'm going to come up with an offer.....somewhere north of about $1600, maybe a lot more north.

Almost perfect and in the OGP.

Justacommeman · February 25, 2012 5:45AM

Man, some great stuff boys! MJ

PerryHall · February 25, 2012 5:47AM

DNADave---Nice looking 1911A1. Does it have the "idiot mark"?

DNADave · February 25, 2012 6:15AM

<< DNADave---Nice looking 1911A1. Does it have the "idiot mark"?

Nope, (I had to look it up), This one is pristine. The barrel isn't even marked where the bushing on the slide would come into contact. No been fired much at all.

PerryHall · February 25, 2012 6:29AM

You'll have to educate me on that one

Anyone familiar with the M1911 platform knows what I'm talking about. After a field strip and cleaning, if you aren't careful reassembling it, you can easily put a scatch in the slide or the receiver with the slide stop. Do a google search and you'l find a lot of information and pics. Show us a pic of the left side of this gun and I'll let you know if there is an idiot mark. They are fairly common on M1911's and it does affect their value and can be used when negotiating a purchase price.

Its only the second one of this type I've seen. This one and the other one (P000116) I own have low serial numbers. The lettering is not raised. Both the Lettering and SN are stamped but the SN appears to have been stamped separately as it is more deeply impressed.

Mesquite · February 25, 2012 9:20AM

Some really good looking stuff! Nothing for me this week.

DNADave · February 25, 2012 11:38AM

PerryHall · February 25, 2012 8:48PM

DNADave---I grade your new precious metal to be MS69+ and I hope you take good care of it for posterity.

USMC_6115 · February 26, 2012 5:36AM

Picked this up for spot today at the show... Always wanted one:
