Been acquiring some strange bits and pieces lately. This one was so bizarre I couldn't pass it up...but I put it up on eBay last night anyway ;)

Salvador Dali "Alice in Daliland" sterling silver bell. This was a run of 2000 pieces, made by the Lincoln Mint in sterling silver. I collect art and appreciate some of Dali's stuff. But this is pretty out there. About 7 ounces total.

Pick up anything cool or interesting lately? Care to share your most peculiar piece of Au, Ag, or Pt?

Show us the PORN!!!

    Sango what light do you have as background/flash on those, or is that the new security??

    I get the neon colors on my pics, but that's because I have a neon sign that reflects off the goodies when I take studio pics.

    DrBuster,

    Here's a closer and much better look at one of the kinebars. Yes the Hologram is etched into the metal itself, much prettier in the flesh

    Not big but 6 for the melt price of 5 delivered was nice. These silver dollar size rounds look a lot smaller than ASEs.

    Thanks. It's insanely heavy and large in hand and it makes the 10 oz. coins I have seem kinda puny, it's pretty funny. :D

    Picked these up for $1540 ea. after ebay bonus bucks. That's cheaper than current raw price at the US Mint.

    Since nobody paid the premium of a premium I was asking, I guess I'm stuck with these as my week's metal porn >:)

    I have a silver round for the Washington Huskies the year they were National Champions (1991)... Since I am not a football fan (Or any other ball sport), I really should find an alumni and sell it... Cheers, RickO
