I've been adding this week. The two $5 commemoratives came from the Baltimore show yesterday. The dealer sold them to me for well below melt at $375 each. The Apmex rounds were on sale last week and arrived yesterday. The 5 oz Engelhard and 1/2 oz Frank Lloyd Wright are off ebay.

Only Gold, what does that style 5ozer usually fetch?

I've been wanting one like that for a while...

Here is my little pickup

Four different 1oz Engelhards, Three different JM's ( 100 gram, 1 gram and 1oz republic national bank) and Five bucks in mercs and barber dimes (and one seated) and a dollar in war nickels.

LukeMarshall, your 100 gram JM is quite nice. I don't recall seeing that size before.

The 5 oz Engelhard I posted is probably the most common style of 5 oz poured. Figure $225 to $275 on ebay depending on who is bidding. $250 is a safe average to assume.

Nothing yet. I might go and see if some banks have some halves. If not, I plan on going and looking at a couple coin stores today for some misc silver. See if anything says BUY ME.

didn't even get to a dealer this week, too much other stuff to do

Meltdown · March 24, 2012 12:34AM

It was a good week for me.
I bought 11 Silver eagels, 3 Peace dollars and a neat little 3oz piece... I'll post photo's here shortly.

Its nice to have a dealer that holds things for you that you dont even have to ask him to do. He ran across this set(Ellendale, ND) one piece at a time over the last 2 weeks. I never even knew of such a set, but he knew my home town and saved them for me, hes also on the lookout for any national notes from there.

The crown sized silver pieces were all purchased at melt. Most world coin collectors would want to slap me for saying that, but hey I saved them from the smelter. Some very valuable and rare coins can be had if you just ask to looking in their foriegn coins they are wanting to ship out.

Err, you might want to magnet-check those pieces. They are the exact look and style of Chinese fakes. Pick out a couple and weigh them, too, just to be sure.
