Where'd you get the cap from Mike?

 

Provident Metals sells them. It was $1.89 I believe.

I received this beautiful 1oz beast on Friday and introduced it to the family ?

 

Very nice addition to the family! I have a silver one coming in an order shortly.

Been wanting a few of these for some time now, the 1oz Ukraine Silver Archangel Michael. Finally had a pair show up in the mail today with an ASE.

I was in the vicinity of the nearest coin shop while out shopping today, so I thought I'd stop in. All I ended up buying was another 2015 ASE, but while talking with the lady that works there, she gave me 2 small loupes that someone had given to them. They were older, and made by Baush & Lomb, but they still work great, so I'm quite pleased that I decided to stop in.

I received a few private mint silver ounces today. 3 Zombucks, 2 Prospectors and a 2oz Cleopatra. I really like the Cleopatra and am hoping they come out with some more of the Egyptian themed rounds. My brother goes metal detecting often, so I'm giving him 1 of the Prospectors and a display easel so he can look at it often.

Very nice Yeti. Are both of those Nobles, just opposite sides? Do they make them in silver also?

Today I received a bullion grade 1979 Krugerrand and it was bullion grade too.  It has a big scratch and damage to the rim in 2 places it also has small scratches in various places around the coin.  I bought it as bullion so there we have it, I will not send it back to HGM as I got what I paid for.

I also received another Pamp 2.5g pendant from UKBullion, this was bought because I bought one in Madstacks auction the other week for my youngest daughter and as anyone of you who knows if you have more than one daughter what one gets the other has to have, to keep the peace.

 

I have 2 daughters also. I can definitely relate! I heard some grief when I bought the older one a car, even though the younger one wasn't old enough to drive yet lol

Yes, that is exactly it! I don't yet have a collecting "strategy". Basically, if I like it and can afford it, I add it lol. I still put everything into air-tites, and keep one on display on a small plastic easel at all times. Something nice to look at when I pass by it.

I stopped in my lcs earlier and he was completely out of ASEs. So, the only thing I bought was a 1 oz silver round that has the USS Constitution on one side and a quote from the Constitution on the back and that it was made by Liberty Mint. As far as I can tell, Liberty Mint is no longer in business, and the round has no date on it, so I'm not sure when it was made. It weighed 31.130g. I'd like to get one of the magnetic slides so I can check them out that way in addition to weighing them.
