How about a nice 3 oz. chunk of silver?

Is that a Bee? First silver bee I ever see!

 

That is a bee.

Well. Bee as it may.

 

Well, I'll bee!

 

Have you met Aunt B, she makes good pies....(Actually, my wife made it.)

 

This here slab of beef brisket will be BBQ'ed up this weekend. 15 lbs of deliciousness.

Ever seen a nickel overstruck on a dollar,

How about two?

That's not a brisket? It's a side of Beef. Delizioso!! (Delicious in Italian)
Take pix when it's done and I'll be over later.

 

I first came across this piece (or one like it) at an exhibition of silver art almost 40 years ago that included some magnificent eagles and other nature pieces some with gilded beaks and talons. Priced an eagle at $15K+ and passed.

Fast forward to the late nineties when I got a call about an upgrade in a copper Gobrecht dollar so I went over to take a look. My guy was in conversation with another dealer over a large crate. Well, I quickly determined that I wasn't going to give up my dollar for a processed one, but overheard him say "We could melt her down." I loaded the crate into my trunk at $7.30/oz.
