Thanks to @BackyardBullion for creating this Gairsoppa shipwreck recovered silver hand poured bar and round.
The bar is just over 1kg at 1075g
The hammered round is also Gairsoppa silver at 5.05oz and is designed as a tribute to the Bombay Mint stamp on the orignal 1000+ oz bars sunk then recovered.
The wooden box is an ebay cheap one with a 3D printed insert I designed, printed then flocked for a smooth velvet feel.
The QR code takes you to BYB's pouring video on YouTube and it also contains a micro SD card with hi-res images, videos and forum links to the bars creation process for provenance.
 

 

Thanks @arshimo2012 once again. 
 
 

Several gold fractionals lately, most of them from the forum.
 

Actually got it yesterday from Alun but took till today to transfer the Britannia's over to it, I'm threeshort of a full collection, the mule, the dog and the pig privy but it looks sweet and has a few years of growth left in it.
 

Thanks @arshimo2012 once again. 
 
 

Nice collection in such a short space of time.  
You do realise however, in catching the Silver bug, soon you will be walking around in rags, the soles of your shoes will be flapping about with every step you take and you'll soon be questioning whether Heinz beans are worth the premium, or could you save a few pence on a Value alternative.  You'll find your car doing a few more miles between servicing, and you'll forgo that morning bacon butty on the way to work...you won't hear what your wife has to say as you beaver away looking for bargains online, and it'll soon become more compelling to have a visit to local tat shops instead of a walk in the countryside or along the promenade....but on a much brighter note,  your Silver collection will grow and grow...

So true 

The elusive snowman, in my view one of the most beautiful 50p designs.

This is the start of my stack bought over 8 weeks. Joined the forum recently and bought another 20 x 1oz dragon bars immediately (I should of joined earlier!). Also bought a 10oz stocksdale bar, a few eagles and my first libertad. I work away a lot but hopefully they will all of been delivered by the time I next get back so I can post some unboxing photos 👍🏻

Thanks @arshimo2012 once again. 
 
 

Don't get so caught up in it Tally, he's free to run his website as he wishes, including conforming to legislation and deciding to charge if he wishes and we're free to use it if we wish.
He has come in, used this forum as a focus-group and intends to make money off of it.  Unfortunately he's alienated the people he's intending to make money off of, that's his own (imo poor) business decision.
Let him move fowards or backwards as he see's fit and i'm sure you will feel better just letting it go and not re-advertising his site with every post we add.
This'll be the last I do so too.

Thanks @arshimo2012 once again.
