I'm split half-and-half right now with the 10 oz Royal Canadian bars and 90% silver (almost entirely Washington quarters). I will probably avoid...
Easiest way to counter that is to only buy from reputable dealers, I guess. I've been buying from Apmex, so I don't worry about any of that.
Huh. Good to know.
Specific gravity don't lie. You might fool an XRF, but simple weight and volume can't be fooled.
A Kilo bar would be 3x as big... that's 32 ounces!
I'm sure every dealer has at least that much or more - or access to a line of credit. They would have major liquidity issues if they didn't....
I'll defer to Mr. Numismatist on the authenticity of the coin itself - but the toning is absolutely artificial. That blue-purple-magenta-orange...

Well... I'm going to give you a very unique, entirely PROOFLIKE set of mis-strikes.... 1995D Cent ANACS MS-64RD PL 50% off center No Date Nickel...
i'm attempting a 7070-with-gold set with only prooflike coins. I'm about 50% complete. The remaining are either extremely rare, extremely...
Lol, you've started a trend. I'll play - here is my Prooflike Barber type set: 1897 Dime, NGC MS-63PL 1900S Quarter, NGC MS-64PL 1898 Half, NGC...
Wow, new pictures are an incredible improvement. Good job.

I realize you are trying to provoke me. However, I have always said that Dcarr's original pieces, club medals, etc, are well designed and...
