Haven't had much cash to throw at metals since the initial drop, but I'm picking up bits and pieces as my dealer gets stuff. Half sovereign and two AUish peace dollars for $190 out the door:

    Found the 90%, not sure when I bought it. Thought I traded off all my 90% for bars awhile back, but guess I missed a few rolls.

    The Ellendale round is my home town and came into the shop over the counter with a collection of odds and ends. This is only the 2nd of this round Ive seen, I own both. Ive also found this in brass but just the one piece I picked up at a flea market in Minnesota.

    Cat 10 Gram was a nice find from a local dealer at 8% over....Its good to be a regular.

    I like the Maneki Neko (hailing cat in japanese), it is known to bring good luck/money/customers.
    It did its job for your dealer! image

    There is one of those waving cats sitting on the counter at our local chinese restaurant. Freaks me out the way his arm moves.....

    It should freak you out the fact that it is bringing you back to that restaurant!

    Here is a gold one for you! image

    picked this up at 740x face, or about 53x melt

    about the same current value, but more compact than 10 oz. silver bullion (and to me more enjoyable to look at) not sure about the investment potential but this is better than fiat??

    Two recent Engelhard additions. Both serve nicely as paperweights.

    Ditto, but I'd have to crack it. The hallmarked bars RULE!

    Why is that 100 oz Engelhard bar only 99+fine? Never seen that before.

    It looks like they had trouble adding the 999+ due to the rough surface. The digits and plus sign is doubled as if they tried twice.

    I stuck my toe back into the silver market today, rather unexpectedly.

    These were at the flea market: $80 face for 15X, and $24 each on the silver eagles.

    We'll see.

    A little... now I'll have to start watching spot again... but I think (hope), it's stable, or back up from here.
