if you can still get to it quickly and it is safe, then it is not overkill

That's about what I was going to do.

Yep.

Ah, the camera cord was left at the inlaws' house. Finally have the pictures here. All the pictures are taken through plastic except the 2007 panda (panda side). [/imgz] [/imgz] [/imgz] [/imgz] I know the carpet details are a giveaway a lot of the times so here is a close up of one of...

Thanks a bunch! We intend to. We're landing in Auckland Sept 1st (leaving Los Angeles August 30, I will never experience august 31 2011 ... sort of) Any silverstackers in Auckland? We plan to be there a bit and travel about the north island for a while, then south island and decide on a place...

quote of the day. that is how I stack.

Its like a family deeply in debt deciding whether or not to apply for another credit card or not.

Yes, I found that according to chapter 71 in sectin XIV of you Working Tariff Document that fine bullion (Ag, Au) does not incur a tariff upon entry. Fine gold coins, legal tender or not in NZ, also do not incur a tariff. Anything that does not fall under that (ie. 22k american gold eagles or...

Oh gosh, I meant +/- 0.05mm not half (0.50mm). So it seams as if it is an OK tolerance if my Eagles were within a larger tolerance range than that (0.10mm).

HA, I just realized that since mid march 2011, in terms of USD gold and silver have gone up 14-14.5% the New Zealand dollar has gone up 18% the australian dollar has only gone up 10%

Thank you. As far as tolerances go though, is +/- half a millimeter acceptable? As an experiment I measured several ASE's and they were 40.57 - 40.63 so, not exactly 40.6 but within that range. ... maybe I'm being paranoid.

What I was mainly concerned about were the duties/taxes that you mention. So, to the best of your knowledge there are not duties on gold but there are for silver? Most my gold (under 5 oz) is legal tender somewhere (USA, Canadian, Chinese) If the silver is also coinage/legal tender (like...

I wanted to bring a little PM for the year that my wife and I would be in New Zealand (starting this August 2011). If someone else has done this, please chime in. It would not be a ton, maybe a few ounces of gold or a 100 or 200 ounces of silver. Am I going to have trouble at customs? I was...

sorry, will have to wait on the pictures. the wife has misplaced the camera data cable. in the meantime, are the other measurements sound? I used a set of Browne & Sharpe metric calipers (pretty precise instrument).

only with a few other 1 ounce rounds ... (edit) and a 5 gram pamp suisse bar (showed 5.00 grams)

I bought my first two silver pandas today. a 2004 and 2007. Everything looks exactly like it should. One is in a sealed capsule that doesn't look like it would open easily. The other (2007) is in a capsule that has a little divot in the side about the size of a finger nail. I opened that...

according to apmex (even their buy price) I did pretty good.

A few weeks ago, I bought a 1991 1/2 oz gold panda in the mint package for 3% over spot, which is what my coin guy sells most of his gold for (even fractional! I know, its crazy). Last week I bought a 1984 1/10 oz gold panda for the same premium. I know they were a pretty good bargain, but...

nothing plays

doesn't make sense though. 34.8 x 1.75 is 60.90 so that price is 75% over spot.
