Kam,
Where did you get those from? What size? I love the container, presume there is a lid.

Yep there's a lid, those are 5oz Libertads, got them from a mexican mint reseller and this is how they've been shipped form the mint.

I had bought an individual 5oz Libertad from Perth Bullion before,
but I just checked their website and doesn't look like they have any available at the moment

PB used to source some of them in the past but with this year's low mintage (just 6,400 5ozers) I'm not sure if they will have any available
 
Nice buy Kam!

Will you be buying individual capsules? They definitely need to be enclosed in an airtight container from my previous experience with 2013 5ozers.
 
I already wish that I had bought Libertads instead of Maples as my last purchase. The latters new design didn't do anything but making milk spot problem even more worse. Brand new and top coin already spotted.
They were a fair tad cheaper, but seeing again Libertads erased that supposed advantage.

What do you expects from RCM? Miracles.
Of course, they all comes from the same pot. I mean spots.

Even the Britianna have them too. I am waiting for the ATB to show up some spot.
Just doing some experiment myself. Wasnt happy with the Brit.
Also waiting for the Pandas.

RCM no milk spot are not real.
May be in Canada no one there gets milk spots on the coin? I wonder.

I know I Shouldn't jump into things with prices the way they are but the swirls gentlemen, the swirls!

Now are they swirls or are they ripples?

I think they are ripples which are waay cooler than random swirliness.

Can you tell the age of the bar by counting the rings?

Puts my 20oz PM above it to shame :(

Your right, ripples is more fitting. You can't tell the age by the number of ripples but you can say that if it has them then they are from the early 90's at the latest as far as I can tell. I have a 10/20/kilo/50oz ripple bars and a 100oz with strong ripples by only on half the bar. I'd really like a set if I could find an old rippley 100oz.
 
Today I bought this, it's an 1857 Sydney. I'm hoping one day I can trade it for an 1855 s in a slightly lower grade (I have an 1899 p so I'm trying to get the first sov from each mint). Haven't got it yet but I think this might be the first coin I send in for grading.

I got some little plastic coin stands in post from china so now I have a nice display of PM rounds on my book case. Cant tell whether the stands are forgeries or not ?
 
With my Christmas Bonus I bought this bad boy. It's a serious bit of kit. It's does a D20 +3 damage vs backyard trees. I swear they (the tree's) tremble when they see me now. My bonus money is "free" to spend on whatever tickles my fancy. If I had my time again I'd probably have bought a couple of high end Fenix torches and more rechargeable batteries. But meh - I can kick back and watch Last of the Mohicans and say to my wife "I can do that". LOL :cool:

Today I used my Ebay Bucks to help buy some silver Britannias. Between the low silver prices and the ebucks taking an extra 10% off I've averaged down my Britannia cost by $1.76 per opunce! I'm very excited about this. I also made an offer on a 10 francs gold coin (I offered spot for it, plus the seller offers free shipping) and the guy accepted my offer. So another gold coin at or below spot just got added to the stack. Today has been a good day for stacking/ebaying for me. I hope my luck continues because I am bidding on some autographs I really want... ::fingers crossed::
 
Today, I bought some 2015 1oz silver China panda. Nice coins although no weight and purity on it. They are meant as gifts for some friends.
 
Just picked up this snazzy piece I designed and commissioned. Great use of a lunar, or greatest use?
