    Was in Sydney on the weekend and decided to check out ABC bullion. Went to have a look on the map where its location is and saw it was right next to the Hotel i was staying at (The Westin Hotel) :D So when the misses went to do her thing i went to see what they had.

    The place was hidden from the public, so unless you had the address you would not find it. You have to go through 2 security doors before entering the main area, this made me feel like i was in some secret place :p Then when you walk in there is a VERY nice display of bullion including the new PAMP range! When i saw the new PAMP bars i couldn't help but buy one. I wanted to get the 500g bar but didn't have enough money so got the 10oz one.
    When i was looking around i saw in one of the rooms they had a massive stack of what looked to be 1000z bars and many cases of PAMP bars! i wanted to take some photos, but the lady said i couldn't

    On the way home in the airport i caused a bit of fuss in the xray machine :D i could see the guy bringing my bag back and forth through the machine and saying to another guy there is some metal thing in the bag. They then asked me to come back and take out what ever it is and asked what it was, i replied "its a bar of silver" the guy said ahh ok and told the other guys its ok its a silver bar.

    anywho here is a pic of my new baby. i took 2 photos to show the front and back

    One of the nicest pieces of silver I have seen, if not the nicest.
