    Damn, I totally missed the 10 oz silver bull. :(

    Was looking at it since Feb but hesitated because I wasn't impressed by the 1oz gold bull. But I could be wrong as the 10 oz silver unicorn looks much better than the 1 oz gold unicorn, strangely.

    Some of my 10 oz capsules are in a really bad condition. How did you managed to take out the capsule? Are you not worried about tarnishing? I've seen a 10 oz (still in the shrinkwrap) with a milkspot. Yes, they do get milkspots!

    10 oz QBs have milk spots and small damage. But it is rather rare. Capsules can be scratchy. But usually it is a common place with Lions (very often) and Griffins (less often). You can try to get an Ms69 version in a slab. And no problem then.
    I took them out of the capsule just to make a video. Did it very carefully and put back after shooting my home silver porn video)))

    I just realised looking at these photos I should have opened the capsules because they don't look as nice in the photo as they do in the hand, but it would take too long to get the coins and camera out, reshoot, resize etc etc. :)

    10 oz Nadir refinery bar. Beautiful bar. Serial number crudely painted over in black with Photoshop.

    there are 2 options
    USPS approx USD $30 and UPS private courier option was approx USD $60 .Both options are for up to 1kg in weight. I have had previous orders with them and had bad experiences with USPS so I went UPS this time.
    The Miners Go Deeper coin is still to be minted as the Golden State Mint had to shut its doors last week to allow staff time off to deal with the big hurricane that was close to Florida last week. I will add some fractional silver silver coins to my order before they send it.

    With thanks sodl. Pricing not bad. some US dealers are charging both their postage costs, plus a fee per ounce too.

    I have previously bought a number of tubes of fractional silver (1/4oz,1/10oz and 1/2oz) from GSM as they are very cheap IMO as compared to prices of fractional silver available/minted in Australia.
