This week's action, with the much delayed South American piece from a ProMiNent Metals dealer that will remain nameless.

Glad to have my local guy back from his heart attack/bypass.

    Oooh. What is that 5 peso piece?


    This week's mini-haul. Paid $25 each for the dollars and cherrypicked the toned Sunshine bar at melt out of dozen boring untoned ones.

    Lot of stuff this week for me.
    Will start with a beautiful 100g Pamp bar! Stunning mirror finish. (bad BlackBerry pic)

    secondrepublic nailed it. 1930 Uruguay gold 5 peso constitution centennial piece. The edge has raised lettering - "Con Libertad Ni Ofendo Ni Temo".

    Nothing this week, unless I win some autions, but I'm hoping silver goes further down as I'd like to buy a bunch of 90% here soon.

    That patch is really neat. Was it some kind of giveaway when you bought a bar from them? Not sure I'd want to put that patch on my jacket and let the whole world know that I buy silver bars.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    PerryHall, I just got it off ebay a few days ago and it arrived today. I paid $25. Maybe it was too much but I had never seen one before.

    It definitely won't go on a jacket as I take pains to keep my stacking habit little known.

    The seller said they were sold only at the Mid America Coin Expo in 2007 and that only 100 were made. That is, I believe, after Engelhard got out of the silver business. I asked the seller for more info. Hopefully I will learn more.

    There's a good chance it was melted a long time ago by a manufaturer that uses silver---electronics, silverware, jewelry, etc.

    The patch is meant to go on the inside of your jacket and to be shown only to the members of the PM Circle of Trust! image

    Right? Almost 170 years old and a mintage of only 91,054. Imagine the history behind that piece.

    I thought the diamond was a cool touch. It's not mounted yet and I may not do it. But I like the idea and I like the option.

    I'm just glad it didn't have a little "C" or "D" on it.

    Cool diamond plug.

    Can't find one at a decent price! Does it have a mirror finish too?

    Speaking of 10 ozers, does anybody own the shiny one from Perth Mint?
