Thanks @AriArid seems not to far off what we can get on here really (UK) but might be nice to buy a coin or two as a souvenir at least!

I don't have any junk sorry mate. My stack is very small; handful of coins and few bars, but it makes me happy  

Cool! Just let me know when you know the dates, I’ll clean up my calendars

What's reasonable? The best prices I've seen are on TSF at around 21 times face value. Maybe you get hit with taxes if GB-Poland but you could use a reshipper GB-NI-Poland to avoid any EU customs palava 

Are you, by any chance, gonna visit Krakow too and have some junk silver to sell?  

Reshipping sounds interesting, could you please give more details?

Hi all! I’ll be visiting Krakow later this year from the U.K. and just wondered if anyone knew any good places to check out for silver coins and bars? And also if anyone has general knowledge of silver out there; are the premiums better/worse than U.K.? How do I bring it back without getting into trouble etc. Thanks in advance

I could show you around, feel free to ping me in DM

The lowest premium I was able to find was Spot +$5, average is around $8-9. But it’s always possible to negotiate good deals with LCS

And please bring some US junk silver if you have for sale, I’d love to buy some if the price is reasonable

Thanks man, the price is good, but I have to pass this time 😢

Customs duties are just crazy when importing to Poland from the UK…

I don't think it's toning as such, they have/had milk spots and these are turning yellow

Well, most recommendations about removing milk spots were basically like that:

Here's a shorter, simpler and cheaper method using household items from a forum member:

 

 

Same components (aluminum + baking soda), same approach… why you say it’s simpler?  

It looks like tarnishing, not milk spotting... I heard it happens because of sulfur from the air or something. 

Here is a good video about how to fight it without mechanical damage:

Please, count me in  

This guy mentions something about 90-100 tons, check it out:

Well, if you’re thinking about making coins yourself, just order a die and then run some tests on different machines.

I’m thinking about my own custom made coins, that’s exactly the way I’m gonna do it

Looks like it also depends on the size of the coin. Quick googling returns this:

Circulating coin presses use from 35 to 100 metric tons of pressure to strike the coins, depending on the denomination. Other presses strike with up to 540 tons of force, the pressure used to create the America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Coins

Hi 👋 

Can I take these?
