    I won't have time to stop by the bank and take photos this week, but here are photos of two of the 20s, one ten, and one fiver which I saved off the dealer's website at the time I bought these coins.

    That picture of that pamp bar has me missing my 100 gram one that I sold a few weeks ago. I had that puppy for about 3 years. It doubled in value during that time. Taxes are going to suck this year. I have paid for quite a few house projects this year with metal money

    Same here, turned a handful of gold and silver into hundreds of pounds of copper, wood, steel, concrete, paint, and electronics, not to mention help with the work..
    Interestingly, none of the vendors were interested in payment in PMs, all wanted dollars, and preferred paper over electronic dollars

    I did not try to pay any of the contractors with metal. I converted it to cash first. Also I would not be to keen on having contractors know that I have a metal stash.

    Actually maples are a great choice.......a lot of foreigners like that it says .9999. I know a lot of Asian people like the maple more than eagles because of that reason. I like both haha.

    Heres some low-hanging fruit, but I must confess that I've sold off (10) each of the 1/4 oz and (10) each of the 1/2 2006-W AGEs, so the total oz in this pic that I still own is 38.6 oz.

    For the silver one, $100,000 is too small, Silverbaron posted pics of his 10,000+ oz silver collection a while back. That right there is almost 400+K. We should do a $2 million dollar silver thread.

    Also loving all the gold pictures!!
