Had to pass on it.

I was offered this monster this morning and had to pass. 29.729 kilos, 955.81 ounces.

Wow!!.... A couple of years back I ran into a 100 ounce bar at a jewelry repair shop. And the fellow was willing to sell it to me below spot. After asking some of the others here, I finally resigned that the only way I could verify the deal was to drill into the core.... So I too passed.

 

The only place I could hide that is in a boat with an eye-hook and rope attached so it would look like a boat anchor.

 

QAM= Quite a monster!

 

Yep, the old "uncertainty discount".

 

Damn! And I was looking at adding a 1k bar to my stack and was calling that a monster!!!

 

The shop is highly regarded.

 

I saw 1 like this at the last coin show in Vegas at the Palace Station. It was huge and very heavy. I could barely move it. I think it was a 1,000 ounces ?

 

This is 955.8 troy ounces.

 

Cool to look at, but I would hate having to move it. I would rather have many 10 ounce bars than that huge 1.

 

Try carrying that as pocket change.

 

I think I'd be happier carrying a pound or so of gold. Depending on the neighborhood, of course.

 

I will stick with these beautiful Scottsdale 100 grams silver bars... I got 2 more coming in the mail.

 

Bars from the Atocha, 70 pounds each...

 

These I can afford too. 2 years ago I could buy these at $70-80 now they range from $135-155. Yes I understand the premium on them, but I really like tham.

 

That monster weighs more than 3 standard dachshunds, but eats less and doesn't need vet checkups.

 

70 pounds! With my hernia I couldn't even lift one.

 

why would you buy bars in grams?

 

Because that's the way they sell them.

 

Because that is what I like and can afford. I also like the feel of them. Have you held them in your hand ? At the present time I cannot afford 10 ounce bars.
