Damn you Renman for telling me about those DC Silver Bars! Little pricey (ok, a lot pricey) but they are actually pretty cool. Bought a 1 & 5oz, but, probably won't buy anymore. I really like the antiqued finish on the 5oz.

I bought the $50 Gold Pesos last month, but, just got them back from PCGS after they both crossed from NGC. Nice!!! I have 4 out of the 16 in the series. Going to take awhile, but, with gold slipping, it might be a little easier?

    Gold is for savings. Fiat is for transactions.

    Trozau how is the quality on the 2014? How does it look in hand? Heard from a buddy that he bought a few and the quality seemed a lot worse than the previous .99999 offerings in the series.

    Are you referring to the 2014 Canada C$200 99999 gold Howling Wolf? The Canada 99999 gold series all come in a card with the capsuled coin embedded. They are considered bullion, so the RCM did not take as good a care as with proof coins. Even then, since they are capsuled and carded, further scratches or hits are eliminated like those Maple Leaf 9999 gold in tubes. The 2014 UK BU £100 9999 gold Year of the Horse come in tubes and are mostly nicked here and there.

    I really like both the DC bars and the Geigers....good pickups Tim and Matteo!
    Yeah, Dan's are pricey but man are they cool looking.....bet they maintain their premiums going forward.
    I have some Geiger 10ozers and they are top notch quality also.

    Love the 50P thingy yer doing.

    I would post my Baseball HOF $5 golds but I'm not home. However, the highest bidders will enjoy them soon enough. I love this inter-web thingy. While in China (Shenzhen) is see that the Mint is sending me my gold HOF's....freakin-finally. Before I blast-off to Osaka I build a template to sell the buggers. I notice the HOF's are falling like a rock from $1,200 to below $1k. image Once in Japan I refine my sale. I then fly to Cali-for-ni-a to see the progress of the auctions. By the time I get home and have a Mai Tai in my hand all the HOF's should have new homes.

    Now, what should I do with my ill-gotten gains?

    Trozau, that 'Year of the Horse' is so applicable today...the Belmont Stakes and a potential Triple Crown winner... Cheers, RickO
