I received this very substantial 100oz bar today.  I think the design is great, and I was surprised by the thickness (other 100oz bars I've seen are longer and flatter).  The 1/4 oz dragon is there to illustrate the thickness of this bar.  Unfortunately it has a dark blemish on one side, and a large gash on the other.  It was a very low premium, but I still might ask about an exchange.  I really do like the bar itself though!😊

Very nice!  Shame about the nick, it’s not exactly small either!  Where did you get it from?

Loving the bars @ilovesilverireallydo And @JunkBond.  Are you paying much of a premium on them?

Three bars arrived today unscathed.  I'm not too happy about their packing, as they tapped a coin to the eBay bar and had it floating around in a package with 2 tubes.

 

I quite like that eBay bar!  Did you pay much of a premium on it?  I’ve made a pretty good living from eBay over the last few years, would be quite fitting to own one.

*edit* Just noticed you’re in the US so don’t have the horrible premiums we have in the UK

Oh excellent I will be slowly collecting Baird and co cast bars next I reckon.

They are very stunning bars.

There is a difference in the finish if you look closely at one of them you will see in places that it has a proof like finish which came out in the end as a minting error by the Perth mint so that one demands a higher premium 

I did see slight differences in the finish but just put that down to the photo and slightly different angles.  The difference in the Phoenix head is rather more obvious - does that also make any difference to the premiums?

Someone start a thread about this matter as I I don’t have a clue

It was in reference to a post on the previous page of two slightly different Dragon & Phoenix coins.  The difference is in the ruffles at the back of the Phoenix head.  The question mark in my previous post was because I wasn’t sure if ‘ruffles’ was the correct word.

The ruffles(?) on the back of the Phoenix head.

Shame the bottom left is your camera and not natural toning, that would be really special. Anyway, cheers!

I was naked when I took the photo.........NOT REALLY

Thanks, it really is a nice coin and goes nicely with the others I already have.

My prize draw win from @kimchi
