Awesome item arrived today as well. 

A rather unusual one.

Bermuda Triangle 5oz 9 dollar silver proof. Only 1000 minted.

Not strictly a triangle of course, but a Reuleaux triangle, so has a constant diameter, rather like a 50p coin but with only 3 sides. Hence 9 dollars face value, not 10. The whole series is in multiples of three. There is also a 1oz silver coin with $3 face value, a 1oz gold coin with 60 dollar face value and even a FIVE OUNCE GOLD coin with 180 dollar face value! Why they didn't put 360 dollars on it I don't know. That would seem the obvious choice.

Sadly it was tarnished but a quick procedure amended that.

Before :

and after. A little chemical magic and it's like new again.

And I thought the Tokelau six dollar Chronos was a bit odd.

I wait with bated breath for No10 the Greyhound. I just hope we don’t get screwed over price wise.

My precious ! Beautiful, graded, numismatic , collectible - 95% of this is a big fat BS ( well i also play with it but try to minimize last days  ) 

All y need is an 9mm ammo ( see generic silver )  when u need to shoot and AS MORE AS BETTER !

And who cares what is inside  Silver is SIlver and it will be Silver on Earth or Moon or even on Marc !!!

 

I’ve a couple of 70’s ammunition cases. I don’t think anyone would like me showing up with the description on the case “25 rounds in baton” rubber bullets.

It cold be worse, I could show with a PIAT case Projectile, Infantry, Anti Tan.

Got these today from Martin at Silvertrader. These Terra coins from Tokelau are pretty decent. The maple is to keep my date run up to date. 

I like the way the queen has her back turned on America

I just love the lighter. My ex-wife bought me a similar Ronson in a cut crystal body 30+ years back. I haven’t a clue where it is now.

I’ve just looked for the cut crystal lighter, £150 2^nd hand ! ! ! !

I still like the Pobjoy silver version. But I'm not paying for the overpriced 5oz coins.

There are some things that are just way too interesting to pass on.  This came at a bit of a premium but I loved it. Look at the detail! And it’s 1944! 

In those times you could be studying needlework in the Institutes of Technology! 

Odd there are no hallmarks but tests fine. 

I got my C&G qualifications back in the 70’s, I didn’t get a fancy gong.

I’m going to sulk.

Here is my haul for the month. The 1oz bars are from @arshimo2012 the 10oz from Bleyer Bullion and gold from Hatton Garden metals. 

I’m impressed with the 2 Rand as it’s proof like rather than a matte version. I have some more US 90% coming too. 

I so want a 10oz Strategic Reserve bar! The more scruffy the better.

Can’t raise the funds until next month.

Today I received in my change after shopping in Morrison's.............several Polish silver coins saying "20 Groszy" that are almost identical in size to our 5 pence's.

Never noticed till I got home 2 hours ago.

GOD DAMMIT!!!!

That's why I don't use cash.

Let him buy his own stack! 

I would like more profit please.

That’s not my idea, I have a terminal illness, I want something tangible to give to Carl my son.

My ex-wife and I gave him a house, he’d never be able to afford one otherwise.

All I want is to see the last 2ozT Queens Beast.

My small stack has gone up by £400 since Monday.

I want the price to fall as I want to buy more for my son.

I'm really impressed with the Magnificent Maple Leaves 10 ounce silver coin. If you don't have one, make it your next item. The detail of the leaves is very impressive. I know it's sacrilege but I wish they used this version on the 1 ounce.

I feel like I crossed a rite of passage and now have my first PAMP gold bar:)

 

Look for the 8 dollar 1.5ozT super maple.

Don’t look too hard, I want another dozen over the next year.
