1881 $10 Liberty (.48oz) bought strictly as bullion but please with the advertised XF condition. EBay deals recently have had some near or below spot deals just like this coin. Even better with 10x eBay bucks!

Pick up at at LCS two 2001 Mexican Libertads

@MickB ...thanks. I just ordered a 30th Ann..
The Cand. Mint used to have a bad reputation for tarnishing.

I haven't checked on a lot of them for quite a while as they're put in storage. Should get around to checking on their condition.
I did have quite a few with milk spots that I ended up cleaning off with silver dip and a gentle rub but this years Maples have a special treatment to stop any tarnishing. Takes the fun away from cleaning now 

Nothing expensive arrived in the post today, just these 2018 silver bullion coins consisting of a Britannia, Maple & a Maple 30th anniversary. The Maples keep me up to date with my date run of them.

2018 Perth Mint...I'm getting a few more. Maybe they are testing this and the Lunar III will be in this format. Hope.

I really love those roses ? in the reef 

They have a nice idea to appeal to stackers and numismatists both. I hope they do Lunar III series this way. If they can improve the finish.

Just had a closer inspection of mine and the Queens side appears to have a yellowish tone. Didn't notice it at first and it doesn't clean off either.
Also my Perth Mint kangaroo 1oz silver bars appear to have the same that I bought a while back. Need to catch it in a certain light to see it. At least they're not proofs 

I have one...I'm not that impressed with the QA. Mine has a slight flaw on the rim Queen side, not a big deal but I heard other problems. The finish on the Queen side is lackluster too. The Dragon side much better. Hopefully they will improve production.

My Australian silver dragon coin bars arrived today. Nice artwork on the rear although my photo doesn't do it justice. Think I'll pick up a few more of these.
