Love those! I remember wanting them when they first came out. Scottsdale puts out a great product. This is my only Scottsdale silver.

I have some silver Scottsdale Lions.... they are really nice....They have a couple of gold products that interest me as well.....Cheers, RickO
Customer of mine wanted something cool. So I made him this 20ozt 999 Silver Fish
Very cool Jinx86. Is that a Tilapia? What else do you make and how much are they selling for?
Coinfame,Kaelasdad,Type2,UNLVino,MICHAELDIXON
Justacommeman,tydye,78saen,123cents,blue62vette,Segoja,Nibanny
That fish is really cool!
The fish is a Bluegill, fairly common up here. Sold it for $4 over spot/ounce. I might make more custom item on request, but only if I have the time available, not something I want to do full time or part time for that matter.
edit to add
This was made specifically for this customer. They do a lot of business with us so I put in the time to make it happen.
@Jinx86 ....Nicely done.... Is the other side flat? Or is it multi-dimensional? Cheers, RickO
Other side is flat. If I really wanted to I could pour sand cast items. Its time consuming and not sure if I would really see many people willing to pay 10-20$ over spot for silver copies of items. I may make some for myself or for display in the shop sometime in the future. I run into the problem of only having so much room in my lab to layout my projects and shop projects. Its the same space I use for melting and assaying gold and silver scrap that comes in and the same area I use for refining the gold with chemicals.
That’s really cool. That’s fishing I could actually enjoy!
The scottsdale 20 oz kit kats are amazing, nice heft and beautiful
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

Phenomenal as usual, cmanbb! Love the pour lines on the back of those 20 oz. bars!

Love the Engelhard poured stacks ... looks like you have them all!
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
Jinx86, obviously you need more workspace and a willing trainee! Nice-looking 20 oz bluegill.
For me, I’ll opt for minted coins every time, but I have to admit that the Scottsdale stuff and those Englehard bars of cmanbb’s are nothing short of awesome!
I knew it would happen.
Got another Scottsdale pour:

Not sure if I'd really care to start up a hand poured bullion company at the moment. Too many as there is and with premiums crazy low it's hard to sell high cost to manufacture items. Also I'll never have enough work space for all I'd want to do.
In the spirit of metal porn, here's a small something.
Great stuff in this thread. @Jinx86 are those state quarters ? Nice stash of silver.
@Jinx86 ...Wow... that is a lot of bulk silver coins.... looks like mainly quarters.... but did not check each package...Cheers, RickO
Holey moley, those look like gallon sized ziplock bags too. I can get just over $1000 face in a gallon bag. Looks like 82 bags there, if 90% were talking about $1M. That's some big boy junk stacking right there!!!!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
