One million in Gold and a lot in silver

Here are some pics of me at the Gold Standard Show in Vegas this past May. Yes, that is a 1,000oz coin. She was freakin' heavy.




And yes, those are 1,000oz silver bars.



It was a special private viewing thing. Guards, guest list, blah, blah, blah, here's your special sticker to get in, etc.



Picked up a 2009 Early Releases NGC MS-69 Buffalo at the time.

that's cool. did the gold item have a reverse?

 

Yes she did, note the use of gloves.

She's a 1000oz sized philharmonic. Only a few of them in the world. At the time, she was worth $1.2mil based on price of spot. Little bit more now.

 

Bet the owner of that sucker watches the market like a hawk!!!

I can only wish! One day, soon hopefully!

 

They gave you gloves?... and the t-shirt?

 

Only the gloves and the gold foil sticker were given. It was BYO t-shirt.

 

I was gonna ask how much the 1000 oz. coin weighed but never mind.

 

1000 oz = 62.499 lbs. according to the Internets oz to lbs converter thing.

 

So much money, so much gold and silver! I want one of each.

 

Yeah. I tried to tell them it had chocolate inside and to let me have it for the price of chocolate. They didn't buy it or budge on their price. Had to walk away.

 

1000 troy ounces to "regular" adv. pounds makes it over 68 pounds! That's one strong man holding that weight!

 

Are they 1000 oz.'s or 1000 troy oz.'s?

Fun. I can see why you were smiling so bright. What a cool experience. Did you try lifting a 1,000 oz bar. Was there a waiting line to hold the Big Phil?
Bet

 

You must be meaning the silver bars. Good for you!!!!

 

Passed on the silver bars. Long line? I guess. They went through a lot of gloves. haha! I made sure to be first in line as I was the best dressed.

 

Very cool! How fast do you think you could run with that gold philharmonic? :rollling: :hail::whistle::goofer: TC

 

Yeah, but are any of YOURS slabbed MS-69 by PCGS?

 

Those are some pretty awesome pictures. Much cooler than getting your picture taken with the million dollars under the plexi-glass at Binions!
