    Thanks mmm...shiney, its been a bit of a process getting to this stage, but well worth the effort. Hopefully this is the first of many batches to come and perhaps some different sizes and designs.

    The recommended dosage is two per day for increased wealth and security.

    I second the 10g niceness. What mold you use?

    Bullion_ron, I am not the one who makes the magic happen behind the scenes in the workshop. I work with a very talented group that melt, mould and stamp them.
    Here is a photo of the graphite moulds. The rectangular ones are for the 10g bars.

    Haha
    No showdown. Plenty of variety for everyone. I’ve always been a big fan of pour lines from hand poured bullion. The smallest gold I can pour is 1ozt
