So I'm adding pieces here and there. Most isn't very interesting. But I picked these up yesterday at the B&M. I'm not a fan of fractional silver bullion. In fact, I'll be reposting my world-famous 90% silver treatise, recently revised, shortly.

But I thought this design was interesting enough to merit picking up a couple. The premium is outrageous--something like $30 an ounce for these. What do you think?

    Nothing too exciting for me but was the first time in a long time I've bought something. Got a couple 2016 ASE's, one for my album and the other for my nephew, for $20 each. Also a pair of 2016 silver Kookaburra's, one for my album and the other for my niece, for $21. Then $4.50 in 90%.

    For that price, I would have preferred the 1 oz version along with your version. Not interested in any coin or round requiring magnification to be enjoyed. Sorry, but not my cup of Schnaps.

    Thanks for posting the fine pics. I got shut out at the USM so now I have a good reason to go to a local coin show. Nice looking coin.

    For three or five dollars, it's a lot of fun for the money. Nothing wrong with picking up some fun pieces now and then. This is one I bought a few weeks ago at a local show- normally I avoid these generic rounds like the plague, but the toning made this one look kinda neat. Just a fun piece. And still an ounce of silver.

    I actually bought a silver oz Englehard prospector that walked into the bar the other day. $18 and a fantasy five ticket it cost me. No pics as I gave it to my bartender as a tip to put in her daughters piggy bank.



    What kind of halves in those rolls Chum?

    That display box is very impressive Chumley....Cheers, RickO
