Lots of good deals out there lately...anybody buying?
I grabbed a tube of Silver Maples and this paper weight pictured here. Im not into bars really, but I grabbed this at .89 over spot. Its the only bar I have.

Nice shiny DT1974.

Had a chance to pick up a 2nd one of these. Pretty cool feeling to own 20% of something ever made. (Only 10 made).

I've picked up a little bit here and there.

Got this recently.

I know this is the PM's forum but it does have a touch of gold on it.

POM...how do you know only ten were made?? Not challenging you, just curious.

Cheers, RickO

No worries, glad to explain and maybe educate a little.

The Archie Kidd 5th edition (the bible for silver art bar collecting), page 145 states the total mintage of this bar is 10.

There is also a 6th edition guidebook. There is also silverartcollector.com that I am part of that can help with gathering information on silver art bars.

You can check it out here and browse by Mint. The site doesn't have every bar/round ever made, but we have over 4,300 bars/rounds on the site now.

I purchased (2) of these at $29.50 ea shipped.

MS69 1st Strike Label, Australian Flag.

I think this is one of the better Kangaroo designs.

Cool stuff in this thread!

Bought $76 FV 90%. Third coin in the first handful of halves I pulled to check was a '38D Walker in VF. That's metal porn.

Congrats on a rare pick-up, Rich!

GRANDAM, I like those Kangaroos as well. I love the ornate detail in them.
