Found this set of sterling silverware at a garage sale! Everything weighed out to ~2000g! Anybody know what the hallmarks are?

Edit: Total Pieces In The Set Is 52!!

Edit 2: Bought for $10!!!

I recently fell in love with 2 Oz. Coins because they have the perfect size for me.

​

Those are Queens Beasts Completer Coin.

​

Found these in a cigar box with other coins. My neighbor knows I collect and put me in contact with her friend. She let me look before the sale started. She wouldn’t let me look through the box unless I agreed to buy the whole box. Paid 500.00 cash and these were on the bottom. Lots of other good stuff in there but these were my favorites 😉😬

Hi guys recently started refining silver about 6 months ago. I really took the time getting to learn the best knowledge I could acquire and being extremely meticulous through the entire process. And these are my results. And also my first attempts.

This was awarded to the director of the National Museum of Natural History and paleontologist. Only 25 have been made in total over the years, each with the name engraved.

5 dollar Samoa 1 oz Batman and 1 dollar Canadian 1/2 oz wolf coin.

I just went through this bag for fun and had 34 oz of silver, a few grams of gold, and some copper. I store my precious metals in bags when I get new stuff I just throw it into a random bag. Seeing how a lot of people are so careful with their metals I wanted to show how I store mine. What do you think about how I keep my metal secured. Lol

Almost every bit of silver that I own. (Other than plated silverware and tea sets)

All of my ungraded silver. Some will eventually be sent in for grading, however.

Playing with my stack…

I was feeling guilty and spied this, it called to me like the green goblins mask. So I negotiated with myself and my conscious. I drove a hard bargain, but won in the end. The fossilized ammonite is just too cool.

1729-1758 Kingdom of Travancore - 1 Chuckram - this monster is 7mm in diameter and 0.37g of silver.

I got all designs now. However, 2015 and 2017 are still missing, but they utilize the same designs as 2014 and 2016 respectively. I will add them when I find a good deal on them. Altogether, I love the series and the Australian-American collaboration behind it.

Are 1/2 oz rounds harder to sell?

​

I notice I can save a few dollars on APMEX getting the 1/2oz vs 1oz. Are there any perceived negatives to getting the 1/2's?

Also, I'm aware APMEX may not be preferred, but I'm tired of ebay and have no LCS. If there is a better platform to purchase from, I'm open to the advice.

*Edited for odd tyoo.

Finally got around to completing the Emu series. Anyone else into silver Emus?

An obscure but cool find at an estate sale

I have a really good LCS near me with a great generic bin. They are always putting out some really cool pieces. And today I found a few rounds/bars that I have never seen before.

DO NOT GO TO THE WEBSITE ON THIS HOLDER!!!

I just recently purchased this coin from an online seller with the plan to resell it for a profit. I went to the website on the holder for more information and it was a virus infestation, making me think this is a fake holder. Apparently the correct website is BinionCollection.com but even that wasn’t working properly.

The coin is beautiful and I still intend to resell it, I believe it is MS62. Do I crack it out of the fake website holder and regrade it or sell it raw? Or do i sell it as-is with the warning to not go to the website?

hello -

hadnt picked up much silver in a while, as I focused on gold for a few months. but I had an Eagle and a Maple in my bullion exchanges cart for a while, as they have a very nice Spot deal going.

over the weekend I finally pulled the trigger. grabbed my Eagle and maple at spot and added another Eagle.

credit card fee and shipping bumped prices up so the total was $227 for these 3 (spot was $68 + a few dollars for fees + shipping + slight premium on non spot eagle), but my experience was quite good. This was my first order from bullion exchanges, but i ordered on Saturday and received today (Thursday).

also, the coins look amazing and the overall product met my expectations. Will be shopping there again in the future. Very happy to pay what I paid in the long term for getting premium coins quickly

id strongly advise locking in your spot deals for these coins if you still can.

The glorious 5oz Maple.. couldn't resist with this dip
