Pictures please!

I read an interesting blog about a woman who got her local college tutor to help her cast some silver bullets in the lab kiln.

It was iffy and inefficient and not entirely successful, but she gave up just before getting a good system in play.

It was something to do with some fictional character casting bullets in a story ...

Silver rounds/bullets are a thing in the USA.  .The different calibers dictate the weight of silver.  It ranges <pun> from ¼ ounce to 25 ounces.

My biggest concern would be how our boarder guard services would react if they were to xray the package.

Just received some bits from the USA a 2 oz Niue Turtle, ( this is a really nice coin to hold). 

5 1 oz .45 calibre bullets.

1 Come and take it round.

1 Bulls and the Bears for my share dealing when I am undecided!!!

Also picked up from my local supplier, 4 half crowns, and 5 proof coins 10 years of the bank of Sierra Leone but gave two each to the two boys as stocking fillers.

How'd you get a delivery on Christmas Day?  Santa's Sack?

A tube of 1oz Silver 2015 Philharmonics.

I have several British Trade dollars just watch out for replicas.

That's one of the problems, they are highly faked.

I am sure curly wurlys were larger when I was a kid!

Me too, I'm sure they were bigger when I was a kid.  Wagon wheels too.

i love uk trade dollars , one of my favourite coins . i only have one though as they tend to be a bit pricey for me .

looks like a bombay mintmark

The British and US Trade Dollars have been on my wish list for quite some time.  I never seem to be able to get close to a descent example for a reasonable price.

They look silver in that light.  Nice.

Nice haul there SilverSniper! So which us your favourite 1 ounce design? I don't have any 2016 designs yet - was tempted by that new Britannia design , but I guess I will get at least the Kookaburras - given their high quality. Do you have any silver Libertads?! Eagles also a classic. 

My favourite design from this delivery, on in general?  From this delivery I guess I like the Noah's Ark design the most.

I do have Libertads, Eagles, Philharmonics, Kookaburras, Pandas, and many of the Britannia designs, in my own collection.  I think the Pandas and Libertads are the best bullion designs.  

This is just bullion coins, I have an extensive numismatic collection as well.

Coin types I have no examples of: Koala, and any of the Lunars.  I'm also not keen on the colourised coins, so only have a hand-full of those.

Past couple of days I received the following silver 1oz coins:

Tube 2016 Britannias (not loving the textured background/field).
Ten 2016 Kanagroos.
Tube 2015 Armenian Norah's Arks.
Tube 2015 Canadian Bird of Prey, Great Horned Owls

Last Friday (I think) I also received a Tube of 2015 American Eagles.  Don't know if I mentioned that before.

The only thing still awaiting delivery, a Tube of 2015 Austrian Philharmonics.

Yesterday I received:

5 x 100g PAMP Silver bars, 'Rosa' design.

Royal Mint Longest Reigning Monarch £5 silver proof crown - big crown design.
Royal Mint proof Britannia one ounce coin.  Collectors coin, not bullion version.

The 2015 silver Libertad proofs - 2 and 5 oz. Always stunning coins, such detail.  

Then a big piece of joy today when visiting a San Francisco coin shop : a  characterful 1909 St Gaudens gold $20. It was that or a 2009 gold US 1 ounce 

I've only got the 1oz  Libertads in my collection, now these images have me thinking they need bigger Sisters.

Today I received:

A sheet of 20x 1oz fine silver bars.

2 tubes of 2015 American Silver Eagles 

That's puuuurrrrty 

Arrived past couple of days:

100g Metalor bars (though eight might need replacing due to the way they were packaged).
Box of silver 1oz PAMP Suisse 'Lady Fortuna' bars.
4x  50g silver PAMP bars
~  100g silver PAMP bars
~  5oz silver PAMP bars

Can you see a trend here?   lol

Philarmonics are good bullion coins.  Yes a little boring as each year is the same design; much like the America Eagles.
