 WTF, why couldnt they have taken it from the back of the bar where it wouldnt be so noticable, or drill a small hole in it that could be filled with silver, I wouldnt let those butchers touch anything of mine.

Yeah sadly they do this a LOT. Completely ruined two gorgeous Portugal Escudo coins. Would have been worth £100 each if they hadn’t acid tested.. however I get to pick up cheap Silver often enough won’t complain ?

Ahh so you buy them like this, they dont do it to stuff you already own then, that aint too bad if thats the case as you know what you are getting then.

Yes correct. I would find someone with a sigma if I want to test my stuff ?

I hope I’m not being a party pooper but that doesn’t look like a proof and is therefore the Cu/Ni version.

[Provvidenza]

No it is definitely a proof, I have the cupronickel version already so can compare, the picture is poor and the coin has been handled quite a bit but the coin shows frosting etc, I've already done the magnet test and the weighed the coin.

925 Silver proof vs Cupronickel

Good stuff - I can see the proofiness in the new pics.

[SILVERFINGER]

I have an original kicking around somewhere in mint condition (the cupro one) and it does not look anything like that silver one, in colour or quality, very nice coin didnt realise they ever made a silver version, now my wife has a sterling silver necklace frame with one of the cupro coins in kicking around somewhere.

Just bought this 12.2 oz bar during this huge silver price dip, hope it ends up being a good investment!

High Relief Kangaroo 2014. Recently discovered high relief proofs and find them really interesting.

 

[caloundracats]

What a lovely coin?

[caloundracats]

Although I might add, two of them nearly hit a car I was in and that would have been the end of me. Frightening!

Got to say the royal mint upped the packaging for this one. Came in a box with all the little foam cushions. Looks great

Received this yesterday.  Thanks to all who offered sound buying advice to me.  Beautiful coin.

[Shinus73]

Actually from a week or so ago, but worth a late entry.
