Re: Silver bullion picture thread
The Swiss bars come up for auction occasionally on eBay, but not by US sellers. It looks as if Argor also has a "rinse problem" with their bars, quite a few have developed the notorious "milk spots." Great collection though. -
Re: Could our efforts to "protect" moderns actually be causing problems?
