Gonna be an interesting month. Go Nigel, the last of the honest pollies

Its a great shame that all the other nations who have been rodded by the World Bank, IMF, UN, and other international bankers didn't have the balls or the nouse to issue arrest warrants and give these global criminals the same message that Iceland did. It still intrigues me how silent the main...

The chances of not getting physical for paper or pre paid physical from PM is a big fat zero. Its a shame they are taking so long, but you can be lucky and jag a kilo bar or a 10 or 20oz across the counter. The worst thing about the present production hold ups for the mint is the amount of sales...

Thanks GP. Its a proof in that case.

Weird. I have bought lots of rounds and bullion out of the usa from straightsilver.com and many times over $5000 worth. It always arrives within 10 days via UPS and I have never been questioned by anybody or any department. It just arrives on a courier and I sign for it and off they go.

Hi GP, mate I'm going to show my coin, round, ignorance here, whats the difference? If the proof have a little P on them these don't so I guess they are bullion.

I was wondering if anybody has an idea of the value of a 1oz year 2000 Dragon untouched in its case, the seem to go for crazy prices especially on ebay? Cheers Typhoon

I can't be bothered with the auction business on ebay so I go straight to the buy now offerings where I bought 2 x 1oz Dragons off ebay about 2 weeks ago for US$118 each. I'm in Melb at the moment but they arrived on Wednesday and wife opened the package yesteday. I bought them because she likes...

Hey Paulo. If you have to wait 3 months for something whether you locked in a price or not, there is a problem with the business model. Why is the lack of organisation by the management unfortunate for the staff, if they don't like the job go get another one and you can't say there is a shortage...

With all due respect to Bron, the Perth Mint is run like a Govt Dept and the shop is set up to sell trinkets and specialty items to tourists which is a good thing, there is also no doubt at all that you will get your silver when it arrives. The shop staff are friendly and helpful, but the...

Done. Any bribe needs to be at east six figures to make it worthwhile if there is such a thing as a worthwhile bribe. A win would be nice but I hope it helps your research anyway. Cheers

Perth Mint will happily take your money but you will wait a looooooooooong time to get your silver.

They told me a month ago that there was a 3 month wait for any bullion bars so make sure you are NOT going to pay and wait which they said I could do and wait and wait and wait. If you are looking for PM 1kgs or 20oz I can do a few at PM retail prices and Platinum Post is only $16 for 3 KG. PM...

I've been buying quite a bit lately, shifting from Bullion to coins and having Platinum parcels turn on the courier up most days. There is no public holiday in WA today and this mornings haul produced. 6 x Canadian Grizzlies, 10 1oz Kiwi rounds, 7 x 1oz koala's, and 3 x 2oz Koala's. Love seeing...

Hey overdraft3. In my experience after spending a long time too often waiting in line to buy physical from the worlds slowest and most disinterested people behind the counter who act like they are doing you a favour being there. IMHO the only Western Australians that Perth Mint benefits are the...
