Friday is METAL PORN day

Weiss

I actually got some nice things this week, but they left my hands as soon as I acquired them

I was able to spend a few minutes with vault material and made a few shots I thought were good enough to share with the class:

And here's a close-up for a more concise screen saver / wallpaper / background for your computer or phone:

Very nice... and that old Spanish silver seems to be lonely among all the clean shiny stuff... Cheers, RickO

Meltdown

Here's my haul for the week. I went to a large antique show over the weekend that comes to town 3 times a year. It's always fun to cruise around and look for numismatic "junque".
Perhaps the coolest item is the old bank savings book full of silver dimes. (Yes, I checked them all)

Thank you, Sir. It's my new desktop screen saver. The image might take awhile to grow on you. But I love the balance and colors. I think it would make a great jigsaw puzzle

ricko

@Weiss... yes, it would make a great puzzle....I like the picture... what is the date of the Spanish coin? Cheers, RickO

Weiss

The Spanish 8 reale is 1800, the 2nd republic un peso to its upper right is 1872.

I haven't picked up any metal in few weeks. So, I will live vicariously through this thread.
Great stuff fellas!
Zubie...that personalized bar is really cool.

Glad I got silver. It ain't much, but it's enough for today. Yet, if better is possible, good is not good enough!

ricko

Great time to buy.... well, if they buy price reflects the current melt.... Cheers, RickO

Latest bar pickups...the Credit Suisse still in original logo packaging is more vintage than any other I've seen, and the Denron looks like it's been eviscerated

We had to pay about $3 over spot for it but it was worth it to add such a cool quirky odd weight bar to the PERMAstack. It's the first 15ozer we've picked up, I don't see many in that size, it will be fun to hunt for others...

Haven't posted as of late but here is some not all of
my latest hauls the last few weeks

ricko

Nice... what are the silver cubes? Cheers, RickO

mrkbrown87

@ricko they are 1oz and a 2oz PUR brand

ricko

Thanks Mark..... I don't know why, but silver cubes like that have an attraction for me... weird... Cheers, RickO
