Picked up the two Dos Pesos I have on the BST thread, which I'll happily keep if nobody wants 'em
Also picked up a few ounces of silver this week...

Happy Friday, Weiss!!!
New arrival for the week
Also got a couple more 2017 $10 AGEs PCGS 70's this week, but those are still en route and will be in next Friday's thread
Saw that medal on other forum and it's quite attractive.
I had a good week with my collector bar purchases.
First (thanks to member KISHU1) an interesting Whites 25oz bar.
I emailed White's and learned the following about this bar:
That there were a total of 1000-25oz bars made.
500 were made in 1985, and the other 500 were made in 1987
Of the 1000 bars, only 747 were actually given away, sold or donated/prizes.
The other 253 have been transferred over to one of the White's family members as "personal property" from the company, and until the bars are transferred back to White's Electronics property, they are not for sale or available.
The next pair I acquired is interesting in that it's a sequential pair from the CDN 5th series (W/striated reverse) believed to be a hybrid bar
Similar bars, the CDN 3rd series (occasionally W/striated reverse common to the 5th series) believed to be a little rarer that the 5th series (<750 made) compared to the striated reverse 3rd series (<500 of the 1500 made being striated)
Branching out to JM 20oz bars as well.
A common CDN 4th series bar (<10k made)
Lastly a CDN 3rd series (<1500 made W/smooth back)
love the jmm bars. the coolness factor
Love the 20 oz jm bars!

BruceS---What does the reverse of that skull look like?
Where did you find that? I wouldn't mind buying one if the premium over melt isn't outrageous.

This week's pickups , I'm digging the pour lines on the 8
They are a little pricy, going for $125-ish on eBay. For 69s. I thought is was different. And the slab is thick!!

My LCS pickup for 80 cents over spot, nothing special but really cool to me!
I couldn't get good pictures but the reverse says
Happy 25th Sharon
Love, Bob
1961-1986
Love the hand poured silver
Not new pickups, but this little herd of buffalos might qualify as metal porn
damn cmanbb! Take a break from the 20's LOL Very nice work!
A few old bars with more on the way. IS IT FRIDAY ALREADY?!?
Actually I took a break from the 25's. Few and far between as prices have gone crazy, so I started a 20oz collection
Wow... @cmanbb ... that's a lot of bars... both sizes.... Cheers, RicKO
Sweet stuff!
I got this 25 oz Saturday:
Only cost me $35.
Junk silver that is

Thank you and cheers my friend
@asheland....No way.....$35.00 for 25 oz. of silver?? Really?? That deserves a 'you suck' award.... Cheers, RickO
@ricko the $35 was junk silver
I traded my brother for the bar, $35 face comes out really close to 25 ozs.

OK... I misunderstood.... thanks for clarifying.... Cheers, RickO
A tiny silver coin from South Africa. They frosted the fields and it makes the train look silver sort of like an airstream travel trailer.

Interesting... a train coin.... have not seen any of those. Lots of ship coins, animal coins, flower coins and both women and men... but have not seen a train coin until now. Cheers, RickO
