    Silver Bars?

    100 oz bars are quite big - i had a few until they were lost in a tragic boating accident. They are kind of doorstop size below that nah, personally i don't see kilos as big and certainly not too big.
  2. I can't add anything. This bar is shown on the All Engelhard website, with a production run estimated at under 500 bars. Once I tried to track down some SilverTowne mint serial numbers - as I remember I actually contacted them directly - no records kept. It does make you wonder what the serial numbers are about if the manufacturer isn't keeping them, it's not as though that is a difficult thing to do. One could guess the 1980's and you would probably be right.
  3. I will vouch for any regular member for a small fee.
  4. Royal Mint just exports gold and silver coins - surely they couldn't get the commodity code wrong - i mean how many of these codes are they using?
  5. A monster box will always be a hard sell on the forum - the obvious thing would be to break it up or fine it just doesn't shift. i was watching a video this morning where Steve St. Angelo and Bob Coleman were talking about prices, the retail / wholesale markets and COMEX in silver. Bob Coleman runs a US precious metal depository and Steve St Angelo is a commentator. Their views are very US centric. There was no mention of the Global South and how India is vacuuming up silver at the moment. This isn't happening in their world and somehow or other Bob Coleman thinks the US stacker market is influencing the silver price. St Angelo thought people were selling silver to get into US Treasuries - which is beyond deluded. The price of silver is rising - there is buying pressure in the 100's and 1000's of tonnes especially from India. i don't actually think there are that many people here who are on the buy for silver. There is a good deal of gold and silver coming up for sale. i wonder if members are thinking now is a good time to sell and those who trade are getting metal offered to them. i don't really have any idea what it is like in the UK at the moment but i get the impression times are hard for a good few. The temptation is there to sell and so the market balance shifts. What happens on the TSF is a reflection on what is happening with private collectors but no reflection on the world. So if members are growing jaded this doesn't mean the price of silver is about to crash; there will be corrections but price rises are inevitable. It may well be the price is too rich for some people here and they are dropping out. It would be interesting to have a poll - are you net buying / selling / treading water when it comes to silver. Personally i keep buying - some here, usually older bars and some silver inside the EU. The GS ratio is still over 85 - and this is cheap to me, so i keep topping up almost as a reflex.
  6. I just ran through a dummy purchase up to the final stage - previously they gave you the option to keep the coins there - it was 6 € for each purchase lot of coins as I remember. This is a bit of blow they have stopped doing it. I used this facility a lot, getting some silver quite often and then having shipped when I felt it was enough and cost effective. I have found another source (private) which works out better for me so I probably won't use goldsilver.be nearly as much now, especially with their punitive shipping charges. They used to have free shipping with larger purchases but that went a few years ago.
  7. Again members are talking about silver where there are issues, where post-Brexit movement between the EU and GB gives rise of issues when moving silver.
  8. This is true but the conversation revolves around silver. Investment gold shouldn't be taxed.
  9. no - the leopard does not have a crown on your silver piece. This leopard face was on London silver between 1821/22 and 1836/37 - that's it. It has to be in that date range. A lot older than the OP initially thought.
  10. i am looking at this but the surround is not quite right otherwise it is.
  11. i deleted the email now - it was something like £240 for the lot. edit - i meant £420 but got the numbers swopped. Just over £20 an ounce.
  12. This is the issue. One might ask why an old pirate is glued to his screen. They used to say you'd go blind if you did that too much.
  13. You had about 4 minutes to get in first. That's the way it is when silver is being sold at these prices - there are vultures circling all day long. If i hadn't been preoccupied i might have snatched this treasure first. I missed out this time but there is always another day.
  14. It looks very dodgy. I mean just for starters what is all this going on at the bottom of the neck? I would say if you are thinking about buying then don't. If you bought and can send back then do so.
  15. Personally I buy what I can in physical but I also have a goodly amount in gold and silver inside the Kinesis Monetary System. So i am invested in metal but at the same time I can liquidate at will. I have seen TSF members post sales saying they have fallen on hard times, they have overspent and the car has gone kaput. Then they have to sell quickly and I have seen sales at fire sale prices. This is sad but it is life and I have taken advantage at times. Kinesis has worked for me. When I took residency in Spain a few years ago I needed to show quite a few grand in my bank account and pretty quickly - i think i remember the cash had to have been there for 3 months prior to assessment of the Residencia application, so i sold some KAU (gold) and transferred the cash in. I proved the funds and then moved it back. Yes there were some costs but nothing comes for free.
  16. So the special TSF / BYB fund raising silver bar just arrived - and I go a 1/2 oz Noah's Ark included.
