    Newbie here, both to the forum and to stacking...

    I am an air traffic controller by profession, originally from South Africa but living in Dubai.

    Managed to get some nice Pandas, Eagles, Kooks, Maples, Perth Mint numismatics etc and really enjoying the coin collecting thing... Pitty I am restricted to buying on ebay as I am in Dubai where Gold is easy to buy but silver coins are hard to come buy. So always have to pay a premium, suck it up and get it on the bay.

    Well, thats about it from me for now.

    I can get silver bars here and seen some indian type of silver coins which didnt look promising at all. Couldnt find any decent silver coins like pandas, kooks, eagles, maples nothing.... they have them all in gold though.

    Huge gold market but unfortunately to ship anything out of Dubai is very expensive. For me to ship a small parcel off to US or other parts of the world would cost around $50

    Thx for the PM, reply sent...

    I will consider doing swaps in the future but not buying anymore at this stage - spent too much money already :)

    ^^^ What this guy said. I think there'd be some on here - maybe more than I suspect, who would happily swap Aussie (and other) silver for gold.

    With that said, welcome aboard! :)

    Well technically a UFO is just an unidentified flying object, so yes seen many but they were just planes busting airspace or similar :)

    But as for the weird light things in the sky, yes once on a night shift in the Tower in South Africa I did see some very strange lights which was very unexplainable...

    Oh well, back to the radar screen.
