A nice old Engelhard cast bar. The style and italicised font of the Engelhard hallmark denotes an Australian bar. This 1kg silver bar was made at the Thomastown refinery, Victoria, Australia. The bar must predate 1988 as this is when Deak took over the refinery.

There has been a split in the cartel with certain entities going long. Interesting to hear in the interview how Goldmans and other entities are going long gold and getting close to China.

A small collection of Royal Mint bars.

Twice before this year price got to the $1310 level [a bit north of £1000] and then got sent down. Likely there will be short futures contract stops above there so it will be defended. Get through this level this triggers these stops and price will push higher. 
The BullionCoin gold and silver backed cryptocurrency had its soft launch this week but the Allocated Bullion Exchange which had been the main driver for the coins pulled out. There were said to be significant physical orders in the wings with this crypto - like 250 tonnes gold. Dropping this size of order into the market would cause price to rise dramatically. Not clear what is going to happen now. The crypto may still be hard launched and in the run up to this there would be physical buys. i think one way or another the direction of the market will resolve in the next few couple of weeks. We are heading into the gold season in September and India has been  very active buying this year - expected 750 tonnes not counting a likely 250 tonnes smuggled.

A couple of weeks earlier the Reuters had said gold imports in India were falling.

This was using information from the World Gold Council which as i see it is just a mouthpiece of the criminal gold rigging cartel. 

After Rwanda African Ounce and Lunar Ounce (started last year) - a third series will start in September.
First issue will be the ship "Santa Maria"
Silver BU - mintage unknown as for every of those coins

A few silver pickups - a PF70 Unicorn, some more Scottsdale cast bars, and bought in a local coin shop in San Diego today - a couple of 1 oz bars.  Can never really pass up an old Engelhard bar for $19.! The Northwest Territorial also quite neat.  Interesting story behind that Mint and how they went into bankruptcy for defaming someone.  

I place a large order with goldsilver.be a few months ago - 1000+ ounces. i read some of the comments about the courier service. i contacted them.They were no receptive. They denied there was ever a problem. They did say my package would not be Yodel b/c of the total size. It was due to insurance. i question whether these packages are insured at all b/c many of the courier companies say they will not take precious metal. If there were a problem and the courier learns it is precious metal they will quote the terms and conditions and then walk away.
Does goldsilver.be have a special agreement with Yodel?

Here we see unless there is a special agreement they will not carry bullion or medical supplies.

A bar i got from Danny-boy, who i see originally got it from arshimo2012. A hand me down so to speak.
