wow great deal. nice bar. envy is the word. hoping to trade trade (10)1 oz'ers for a 10oz'er bar in about 3-4 months. :thumb:
my silver hoard is so small compared to you deep pocketed multi millionaires. 6 1/2 ounces. lol how do you eat an elephant ? 1 piece at a time lol. slowly but surely i will add more silver to my small pile. I spend way more on coin wants than silver. common silver... here's the pics:
Here's a sampling of my relatively hard to find fractionals. 1985 1/4oz. Engelhard Prospector 1985 1/10 oz. Engelhard Prospector

And here's a couple more fractionals 1997 1/20 oz. Libertad - 20k mintage 1980's Dahlonega Mint 5 Gram Bar
I have yet to actually "purchase" any silver bullion. I tend to either win eagles in the coin club raffle, or I trade coins for bullion.
My latest acquisition...a bunch of random rounds (and one Kook) that my friend has managed to collect over the years. He needed cash and I offered spot...we just called it $28 each. I could have probably pinched him down a few cents based on spot...but for friendship, it's not really worth it. Unfortunately he didn't have any more.
I also scored these beasties, which I admittedly know nothing about. However, "Una Onza Troy de Plata Pura" translates just fine to me! Going to go research them now... Edit: Ahhh....looks like this marks the first entrance of Sterling silver (.925) into my collection. Interesting...
Got a few more coins... Is there a good iphone app you would recommend for taking the pictures and hosting? I'm fed up with photobucket. There has to be something better.
I grabbed these 5 older ASE yesterday for $144. On the way out of the store yesterday my LCS mentioned he had another poured Engelhard so I had to go back today and grab it. $298 He had a few other stamped Engelhard bars and a Johnson Matthey bar but I didn't want to spend that much. I might have to go back next week if the price holds/drops and pick up the Engelhard bar that looked like the following stock photo:
