    Hi All,

    Just wanted to share some coins I picked up from the local pawn shop. They're the first non bullion pieces I've bought and I think they're quite neat :) . I paid $120 for the lot.

    That's sounds like a good pawn shop to buy from!

    Only the little one on the right is new but I thought it would look cooler with it's big brothers. The crazy thing is I wasn't even trying to get coloured lunars, if I could I'd have bullion ones. I got a pile of gilded ox as well but in the low light they were throwing reflections with the flash so I didn't get a good shot. Don't suppose anyone wants to trade gilded/colored for BU?

    I actually bought the 1oz a while ago now but didn't get around to posting a picture. The 2oz has featured before. I don't normally go in for collecting serial numbers, but I didn't have any pagnani so when I saw the 2oz first strike serial 000 I thought I may as well get a little piece of pagnani history. Then when the opportunity to get serial 001 it just seemed like they belonged together. Hard to believe the 1oz versions were $200usd when first released...they're great blobs, really great, but $200usd/oz nice? Wouldnt be my go to stack :)

    That's kind of the charm of pagnini, their multi stamped bars particularly have an artisan quality. I really want some of those 5 and 10oz bars with the 7 stamps but they aren't a stack. I'm waiting until the US market implodes over night one day and silver goes from $30 to $300 an ounce then I get on ebay and pick up all the expensive things I've always wanted that are now below spot before they get pulled. I realised recently that you can buy ancient Greek and medieval/early modern Spanish gold for less than 100% over spot. I'll buy all the pagnani ingots, collectible Morgan's and byzantine histamenons my credit card can bare.

    ***********

    Just ordered this 1oz gold coin from the Kremnica Slovak Mint ( http://www.mint.sk/nakup_novinky.php?code=522801 ). Not certain that they will be able to accept my credit card once I've received their invoice , but I thought I would give it a shot.
    I couldn't resist as the coin is in proof finish and only has a 14% premium above spot gold! .
    (for comparative purposes, I just recently purchased a 1oz gold proof RCM Canadian Commenorative Maple Leaf with a very low mintage of 350, BUT the premium is an astounding 85% )

    Here is an article about the coin/series: http://world.mintnewsblog.com/2015/06/2015-mask-of-the-slovak-region-100-francs-cfa-gold-coin/]


    Cheers,

    105 oz of product from Yeagers Poured Silver...don't currently own any of his stuff but it looks awesome. Currently a two week shipping delay due to volume of business. Thought I would be able to hold out on ordering until he has the 10 oz skulls available, but that will have to be a future order I suppose.


    Anyhow, ordered:

    5 x 5oz Cube

    5 x 5oz YPS bar (Serialized)

    5 x 5oz YPS Button (Serialized)

    5 x 4oz YPS KitKat (Serialized)

    10 x 1oz Skull

    My first ever purchase of gold bullion...two 1 oz Royal Canadian Mint Gold Wafer Bars..about $50 CDN (25.5 pounds) over spot each with no shipping charge and only $3 in bank transaction costs (not very pretty but only ~3.5% premium to yesterday's spot price)
