I'm in the antique trade so I've picked up a heap of Sterling (and .900, .800)Silver cutlery, flatware, tea/coffee sets etc for way under spot over the years, in fact there's actually a big concern amongst many antique dealers/collectors that many rare and beautiful antiques are being sold as...

Thanks everyone....most helpful! :) I'll probably be listing it tomorrow as an auction so was after a rough idea of what price to start at. Much appreciated!

Hey everyone..... I've got a 1999 2oz Kookaburra here, in square capsule with its little cardboard fold (has the specs etc on it). Just wondering if anyone can give me a ballpark figure on what a fair price to pay for one is? Any & all help/input much appreciated. [/imgz] Thanks folks!

In my experience: Lower mintage year always carry a slightly higher premium regardless of design change (1984 Libertads for example). I'm not sure on the Taku mintage numbers but I'd say it's a keeper!

Hey Lucky Luke.... I've got a 1935 one of those ^^^^^^^^^^^ If you want it!

Mine arrived today but I got home to late to pick them up!! :/ I'll be racing to the post office tomorrow morning to get my goodies! :)

I'm no connoisseur when it comes to Perth Mint Coins but imho, they really dropped the ball with this years designs period. To me, (the snake particularly) looks far to "cartoonish" when you hold it up next to a Dragon (or anything else for that matter). All of above is just my view & I guess...

OK.... Anyone got a forklift I can borrow?

You read up on the $5000 dollar Oz/membership fee too huh? ;)

EXCELLENT idea...if it wasn't for that last fatal flaw: Actually having the Solid Silver Bull! :P

I would usually agree (I'm way more Ag than Au) but in this instance.... You're spot on I reckon! All praise the golden calf LOL

Of course you do! :P (Have taken your advice & all is going great guns....thanks :) )

That's one very cool Bull! It looks just like the one on Wall St only SHINY! (mmmmmm shiny!) Much as I'd like to agree that it's an omen.... I think we'll be wearing Fur not Leather for a couple of weeks still! Not necessarily a bad thing.....I mean it's GRAND if you're buying ;)

I think the point is: If you're holding the Bullion yourself, you've got COMPLETE control & KNOW it exists. In these "Unallocated" Silver Scenarios, there's no real guarantee the firm in question can deliver (Bullion or Fiat) on demand. Would that be the point you were trying to make tolly? I'm...

*Nods In Agreement* I "think" even Maples weigh (ever so slightly) less than ASE's & often generics weigh even more again! .999 doesn't always mean the coins, bars or rounds are exactly.999 pure, rather their minimum purity is 99.9%. I actually "Nitric Tested" some generics vs some crappy...

A ripper indeed!!! :P As far as Meeting Places in the Eastern Suburbs goes.... "The Wheelers" probably wasn't the best bet. Not 2mins down the road is a "Best Western" Hotel with restaurant & function rooms. It's really quite a nice place as far as food, decor & service goes (VERY reasonable...

Sorry about not getting back to you with the info yet... I'm searching for this great link to Engelhard info I found a while back.

.......Oh and by the way: The Bullion Blokes sure has a certain ring to it! :)

Thanks guys (& girls)...... I think I've managed to triangulate my position on the SS Forum Map now! ;)

Nahhhhh.... not even! I'm a "Suit".... an Antique Dealer by "trade". I'm possibly the furthest thing from "Fly" as possible and (don't think) I make any pretense to be so! *WISHING THE EARTH WOULD JUST SWALLOW ME UP ABOUT NOW*
