    Phoenix dragon errors

    I think there's a lot more of these error coins out there than anyone is admitting to. I know that the last 30 to sell out from a German bullion dealer in the last few weeks were all error coins, with 12 of those being mine. $110-$120 individually would be a fair price but I'm doubtful you'd get...

    .925 bars

    On Thanks so much for giving me a greater understanding of the situation with this sort of silver. I did a bit of research on these coins before I went in and was willing to bid them up to spot. "Overpriced" as you say is the operative word. Back in 1972 the spot price of silver was in the...

    Somehow I avoided the 10% GST after filling out some form that I can't even remember what it entailed. I want very much to forget the whole experience! The first priority delivery was at my front door from Hong Kong in two days, the Brumby one was 13 days! No, I never tried arguing the point...

    Help, purchased silver coins overseas gst

    Wow! That is a very similar situation to my own. I bought 20 pixiu through LPM Hong Kong with a pair of 2oz Lunar but the total fell just under $1000 so it was delivered to my door without a problem. The following few weeks I missed out once again getting the Brumby from both Perth Mint and...
