Today I Received.....

[mmissinglink]

In spite of the spot price of silver being below USD$14, I can not find the Elemetal Mint's American Landmark series 2 oz rounds being offered for less than $41-$42 shipped. Provident Metals has been sold out of both for a while.

With the release of the Liberty Island round (2nd in the series) and with the limited mintage of these American Landmark series rounds, I think this series is now unquestionably on the radar of many silver stackers and coin collectors. The quality is in a class well beyond a normal silver round.

Received today thanks to a great Forum member, my first 1/4 oz Brits.

Only the 1 coin in the post box today but a lovely one - IMO!

@Danny-boy

Did you get hit with vat or not?

They were brought back for me by a very kind fellow stacker on a recent trip, so no tax thankfully.

Today I received the scrap sterling silver from Madstacks ... more than 400 grams of the stuff ...

and my wife prompltly sorted and nicked over half.

My casting experiments might have to be shrunk.

Got a package today, from a member on the Australian forum. 1/10 Rabbit and 2oz Rabbit.

Have some issues with the 2oz due to his packaging. Sent him a mail, will see what he says.

 

[sovereignsteve]

[Danny-boy]

How did he package that???

He used something called bluetac to keep the coins from rattling in the capsule.

Couple of half ounce dragons from @arshi 

My first halves. Really nice size coin might have to complete the set now

 

[motorbikez]

@seXes I'd be fuming if someone sent me a coin like that (2oz  rabbit), he has destroyed its value & it is now worth spot, its not worth sending it back, get him to refund you the difference between what you paid & current spot price.

[calandlew1]

Totally agree I'd be outraged if someone sent me that,  even if your not an expert you should not send it like that

[DRooster]

So ... Bluetack does that to pure silver??

Good to know, sad to find out the hard way...

[MickB]

I'll be calling it 'Blueattack' from now on. Never knew it would do this, suppose the moisture content causes this. I thought it would be a harmless substance to use considering most schools use it.

A good learning curve though for everyone.

[calandlew1]

An expensive lesson

Sry, I can't make out what you mean?

 

But an update on this situation: It has been resolved, he has reimbursed me. So all is good. But I still lack a 2 oz Rabbit in my collection.
