Let’s see what you got this week! New pickups or old holdings.

I got this one today, low mintage:

Downtown1974 · September 27, 2019 6:51PM

I love silver Maples!
I posted this on the coin forum as well, but I think It’s worth an encore presentation.
Just bought it this afternoon for my gold type set.

ricko · September 28, 2019 6:36AM

@Downtown1974....Very nice gold coin....I still say it looks better than a 62...Cheers, RickO

I agree @ricko! Eye appeal means more to me than anything. I have some AU coins that present like MS and they fit nicely in my collection.

Jinx86 · September 28, 2019 8:14AM

Fun week for me, made quite a few bars. Saved a couple of pieces from the fire as well.

johnny9434 · September 28, 2019 2:23PM

Love the gold all and the silver

Very nice addition!

USMC_6115 · September 28, 2019 6:05PM

Nothing much.. A little Sterling and an old Englehard bar I'd love to know more about

LukeMarshall · September 29, 2019 8:46AM

@Jinx86

Is the chain 24k?

This one is only 22K, but is very well made and weighs in a 34 grams. I do have some 24K chains, nothing I would wear though. My ring is 24K, had it go out of round on my hand the other day from grabbing something, gladly it bends back easily.

LukeMarshall · September 29, 2019 9:18AM

Thanks for the response, it looks high purity and quite nice... The clasp kinda hints at the fact also.

I also agree.

Cool 20oz!

ricko · September 30, 2019 1:43PM

@JJM....Gold and silver in the same week..... Be still my heart.... Cheers, RickO

LukeMarshall · October 2, 2019 7:45PM

Here are my last week's two silver Oz's I think the square Geiger is neat, it has a reeded edge and the other is cool too, from the Coeur D'alene Mines.

asheland · October 4, 2019 6:25AM

This isn’t bullion, but silver and pretty cool...

If you have a black light, the square Geiger will be fluorescent on the back. Pretty cool. I have a 20g one in a assay holder. Always wanted one because they are so cool.

I’ll post what happens with the black light later if I remember

metalmeister · October 4, 2019 8:18AM

Neat Silver and Gold. Fellas ( and Gals )

Today’s NEWP!

Downtown1974 · October 7, 2019 12:29PM

Nice Kilo! Looks like a fresh pour.

Kept forgetting but here it is. Didn’t know how hard it is to take a picture of something with a black light

Cool card Kliao!

I paid a couple dollars above spot when silver was down so not a bad deal.

Sweet bar! Normal premium?

USMC_6115 · October 8, 2019 9:07AM

@asheland I paid $125 for the bar which seems okay compared to what they are selling for (although I can't find one like it on ebay).. I sent pics to allengelhard.com also to ensure it's not counterfeit. It doesn't look it, but I like assurance like the 3 oz above..

--- and they just got back to me; authentic it is

LukeMarshall · October 8, 2019 10:03AM

You should be able to sell that 5oz engelhard for twice what you paid for it all day long...

Kliao · October 8, 2019 10:22AM

Wow I didn’t know these old Engelhard bars are selling for so much. Better keep my eye out

asheland · October 8, 2019 11:53AM

I’d eat that bar up all day long for $125! Nice catch!

asheland · October 8, 2019 11:54AM

Newp from today. Scarce type:

thisistheshow · October 8, 2019 2:08PM

It's not Friday, but anyway....

Found this nice A Mark 1 oz bar at the LCS. Looks like it gets some premium on eBay.

Jinx86 · October 9, 2019 6:56AM

My back kind hurts after this one. At least it's not being loaded in barrels this time.

Kliao · October 9, 2019 7:00AM

@Jinx86 what are those? Silver quarters? Are they getting melted?

Mostly quarters, these are $500 face value bags. They are going into segregated client storage.

Wow you must have a walk-in vault!

asheland · October 9, 2019 10:22AM

That's a LOT of 90%!

Hemispherical · October 9, 2019 11:43AM

So THAT’S where there at!

Jinx86 · October 9, 2019 11:49AM

Drop in the bucket.

ricko · October 10, 2019 9:25AM

@Jinx86....If that is a 'drop in the bucket', I would sure like a picture of the 'bucket'. Cheers, RickO

asheland · October 24, 2019 11:15AM

A nice unexpected Thursday pick up. Only 300 minted by the Philadelphia mint! A chunky 8.55 Troy oz 900 fine silver medal.
I really like this one!

asheland · October 29, 2019 1:58PM

Woo hoo! An unexpected Tuesday newp!

The Asahi version of my Johnson Matthey kilo:

MsMorrisine · October 29, 2019 2:59PM

$7.50 at Goodwill

Kliao · October 29, 2019 5:58PM

Picked this up recently at a antique mall.

A carving set with 800 silver handles. For sale if anyone’s interested.

Italian 800 silver marks

And a few silver Souvenir Spoons in a bin of junk spoons

2 also with Italian silver marks

1 with Dutch marks

ShadyDave · October 30, 2019 1:36PM

Spot plus $10 on Reddit, don’t mind if I do!

SimpleCollector · October 30, 2019 6:44PM

Some may ask “why?” Others may ask “why not”...I didn’t have this and have some of its 1 ounce siblings, so I bought it.
