Some 90% and this Bisbee mining 5 oz. button that I purchased this week.

I like the Bisbee, going to purchase a few.
What is the diameter and thickness?
Thank You.

Well, since I've posted her everywhere else

Here's my purchases this week.
28.1 troy ounces silver
Sterling quart-sized tankard by Jacob Marsh, London, 1770
And a few early 20th century $20 gold pieces I got, too

My brother lives near there. Is the Bisbee button from current production? Pretty cool!

I'll have to get back to you on the dimensions. It's already locked away.

I'm really not that familiar with these, jmski. I know the frosted texture gives it a vintage look, which is one of the reasons I wanted one. I never looked into the production history of this piece. It would be interesting to see an older version side by side with a newer one.

@Weiss..I do like your tankards.... very nice... though I prefer the flat bottomed one...more my style.. Cheers, RickO

asheland

Great thread!

Room to grow... and time enough, though late to the stacking. But out of small things come great.

DrBuster

These came in last week. Small stocking stuffers for the kids.

ricko

Nice.... Tiger Shark.... When I was in the Navy, and we had a picket station in the Caribbean, we would shark fish nights and weekends...I caught a Tiger Shark once.... needed several buddies to get it aboard....Cheers, RickO

asheland

Nice stuff!

DrBuster

I gave out the hammerhead ones last year and Somali elephants. The boys like the shark ones from the RCM. The rest are those 3/4 wolfs and 1/2 libertads.

The silver is nice but I like the pocket knife also.

ricko

asheland

I have no new metals to add.

Perfect! What a nice stocking stuffer for kids! Based on your pics of the tiger shark, I bet the hammerhead was a head-turner too. That creature boggles my mind, and to see them swimming in huge schools like in the nature videos, man.
