First letter J
Second letter an A over a J
Third letter a D over an upside down D
Forth letter an E

Cool bars! 😎

Goldminers · June 3, 2024 11:53AM

I keep adding a few vintage bars as they show up. This is an older waffle back.

asheland · June 3, 2024 2:24PM

@Goldminers cool bar!

Goldminers · June 7, 2024 4:14PM

Here is my new pickup. I just had to buy it just to post it here for Blitz. LOL. A real nice vintage United States Silver Corporation 100.5-ounce bar from 1973-1976. Poured with Englehard silver and struck with two very large coinage dies.

Goldminers · June 7, 2024 4:51PM

This is a short video of one. Not mine. It gives you an idea of the thickness. The company also owned the Galena mine in N. Idaho. I worked summers underground at both silver mines on each side of it the same time this was made, in 1973, 1974, and 1976. Bunker Hill and Lucky Friday Mines. A special bar for sure.

Nice!

I need to start going back and looking again, I kind of quit for a while.

How much for the half ounce bar?
I had one about 20 years ago that went missing.
**Shoot me a PM if you want to move it along.

Love that 5 oz. Engelhard! Terrific pour lines. 👍

asheland · June 20, 2024 8:46PM

Great bars!

taxmad · June 21, 2024 5:41AM

Really had to step up to secure these…

USMC_6115 · June 21, 2024 9:29AM

FINALLY completed the 1 Ounce Silver Mexican Libertad Set... waiting on the 2024 to come out:

The 91 and 98 are in slabs so you can see through where the flip would be making it look like the coins are out of order..

asheland · June 22, 2024 12:36PM

Impressive set!
I’m looking for the perfect 1oz silver in MS68 to accompany the gold I got recently:

Meltdown · June 25, 2024 5:53AM

@USMC_6115 What a great set of Onzas! How long did that take to put together?
I picked up an UNC baggy $5 piece last week. NGC MS61
The price was right and it has super reflective fields both front & back.

Just a little over three years! Well worth it.. Nice gold! Love gold no matter what it looks like

New bar I picked up this weekend, 3rd series 10oz ingot in Canadian variation. Think I got a good deal at $350

Goldminers · August 2, 2024 12:34PM

It's Friday time to post my new toner.

Turned in 191 pounds of aluminum cans. Picked up an ASE, a cheap Morgan, and then pigged out at Taco Bell.

@asheland that is an absolute stunner! I’ve yet to add any southern branch gold to my collection, but it’s on my list.
Congratulations on a beautiful newp!

blitzdude · August 8, 2024 6:53PM

Awesome. I love the grade. CNGRTS!

Edit: and would absolutely love to own it. Enjoy her.

Eating at Taco Bell is a tradition of mine on recycling runs, so, Taco Bell and silver dollars!

Did you wrap that Morgan in the Taco Bell napkin ?
Admit it, you go to Taco Bell for the napkins more than the food, am I right ?

PS disclaimer:

Taco Bell food is probably better than what I just had at a local Mexican restaurant.

I am fortunate to have Way better authentic local family owned Mexican restaurants to choose from.

Couple things about Taco Bell, you don't have to tip the waiter and you can stock up on condiments.

I used to live in south Miami-Dade County where there were some terrific small family-owned Mexican restaurants that only the locals knew about. Delicious! But I still love Taco Bell food. I even own an angry 3-legged chihuahua!

@dcarr That's just some guacamole and "fire" sauce on the (cleaned) silver dollar. I have yet to wrap a coin in a Taco Bell napkin to tone it.

asheland · August 10, 2024 2:07PM

Speaking of Mexican restaurants, I just had this a few days ago, and it was pretty awesome!
A little place in South Asheville, North Carolina:

blitzdude · August 10, 2024 3:58PM

I too am a fan of Mexican food. One of the biggest things I miss since the move from Texas to The Commonwealth. That wonderful Tex-Mex is gone but at least I can still find these. RGDS!

I love their food and their coins! I got this a couple of months ago:

asheland · August 22, 2024 6:27PM

I have always liked Silver, but lately I’ve really warmed up to Gold… It seems the higher it gets the more intriguing it is to me!

Anyway, this week, I got two humble, but very nice little gold coins for the collection:

Very nice, I have several of the Gold Mercs but still raw OMP. Wanted a slabbed one for quite some time but still yet to become a reality. Please let me know if you ever decide to get rid of her. She's a beauty. RGDS!

Goldminers · August 23, 2024 5:11AM

This is probably going in the mail to try crossover. Unfortunately, I could no longer find a PCGS version that was affordable.
I believe they will let it get a first strike label but will not allow it to be first day of issue label.

I’ve always liked this design, I picked this up today:
It had the box and COA, I just didn’t photograph them…

psuman08 · August 29, 2024 6:43AM

New pick up this week. Please share any information you have on C&S Inc out of Denver as info seems scarce. Interesting side stamp of the company.

Goldminers · August 29, 2024 10:23AM

Recent DC purchase.

Goldminers · August 29, 2024 10:28AM

The engraving and strike quality of these old Greek coins has always amazed me. This is one of my favorites.
