Picked up a Perth Mint 1oz gold bar in the assay package at lunch for $1600.

Oh, that makes three of us, Me, you, and the Pope!
Well, it's not quite Friday but I'm good to post as I don't think I'll be picking up anything else.
The bullets (after a bit of a wait) and the 5oz came in this week. The other stuff was purchased here and there during the past week.

Those are awesome! Where in the world did you get those?
Oh, sorry to hear about all the job loses. Keep your chin up.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

ENJOY! (more to come)
2002 Proof Gold Half-Sovereign (.1176oz agw), 2002 Proof Gold 5 Pounds (1.176oz) and 2002 Proof Silver 5 Pounds.
The 5 Pounds coin may not be in my hands long. I'll be bringing it to the show on Saturday and have a dealer or two in mind who may want it.

I loved them too the moment I saw them.
I was ordering them within minutes of viewing the original post.
I have to give credit to Tincup who originally posted their availability to the Precious Metals group here...tincups original posting

To keep the spirit of metal porn going, here are some bars that I had picked up a time ago but hadn't shared.

I picked up a sealed tube of PCGS graded "First Strike BU" 2010 silver eagles. I had never seen these before but the dealer I bought them from seemed
to think they were pretty common. They're sonicaly (sp?) sealed so you can't open it at all without destroying the tube?
While I was there, I picked up a 2013 for my album set as well. $32 each for the tube & single 2013.

My thoughts exactly. That looks like it has some real age on it.
Nice piece.

The 1 ounce poured Australia bar has been on my wish list for quite some time. Thanks Luke!
I got lucky when an Ebay seller had one more 1/10 th oz gold round to sell to me.

The Australian 1oz piece is an awesome one in hand, isn't it OGIM?
Well done on both

Bar # 1:
It is a 1974 Madison Mint "83rd A.N.A. Florida" silver art bar. I paid $35.00 for it (spot silver was $28.58/oz).
Bar #2:
It is a "10th Anniversary America in Space" silver art bar. It is a sterling silver (.925 purity) silver art bar that was minted in 1971 by Franklin Mint. The weight of this bar is 1000 grains (2.08 troy oz's ---> ~1.93 troy oz's equivalent .999 pure silver). Currently, this is the only sterling silver art bar that I have in my entire silver art bar collection. I paid $60.00 for this bar (Actual silver bullion value for this bar = $55.16). I usually do not buy sterling silver art bars but I made an exception here because 1.) I do not have a Franklin Mint art bar in my collection and 2.) I like this particular theme on this bar and this is the first time that I have seen this particular Franklin Mint bar.

I know, the plastic is in fact exactly the same (and different from the original JM).
Though, they say Johnson Matthey and have serial numbers ...while Sunshine Minting does not "print" any serial on theirs. Don't understand why!
It is a 1975 World Wide Mint "Coca-Cola - Atlanta" silver art bar. I paid $35 for it today (spot silver finished yesterday at $28.56/oz). Relatively speaking, this is a decent deal IMO. Mintage-wise, it is the most common Coca-Cola silver art bars that was minted by the World Wide Mint (mintage = 50,000). IMO this purchase today is my best silver art bar purchase out of the 3 total bars that I bought at this coin show.
