    Picked this up today, just thought what a great piece that I am surprised Perth Mint let it get through their quality assurance (although it's an oldie so they may not have cared)

    I particularly like the back where you can clearly see the press has "jumped" moving the corner and squashing the bar a little.

    If anyone else has seen one similar I would love to see some pics. This is going to sit very nicely next to my "correct" kilo extruded:)

    Cheers,

    BM.

    Nearly picked up that one two weeks ago off the bay, ended up going for a stack of swan proofs and a old vintage Perth mint 1 oz silver piece(swan, left facing round) not bad price for such a fubar extruded, glad to see another stacker picked it up. Don't be tempted to put it in nitric Bear and turn it into little bits, it's a beauty the likes of which will probably never be seen again.
