Visited the LCS over here, just to check out what they had to offer.

Not much to offer but they did have some old mexican coins which I don't have yet.

Picked up these little beauties over the weekend. Spot price helped but they were bargains so I couldn't help myself. Excuse the dog hair on the lens.

Nice 50oz bar Belvedere :)

Thanks mate. Some nice light swirls. I don't know the age but the toning and the swan facing left makes me think it has a few years on it.

Not as nice as I expected them to be but happy with them none the less

They look nice in the pictures, I have picked up a few just to add a bit of variety to my stack and as an example of what design features can be achieved, as opposed to just printing a picture on a coin.

Why not so happy?

I think they're great, very impressive for a low premium round.
 
I like them but I guess I like the white starkness of the omnia's and are my preference over these but it's good to have a few
