2010 Yosemite numispuck

I just got the latest 2010 Yosemite "P" puck in the mail today. Only two more 2010s left this year, and I still haven't decided which style I want to keep. It's going to be expensive to even collect one style, and very expensive to try and collect both the bullion and the uncirculated versions. Since the 2010s are most certain to be the keys to the collection, I was hoping to have made up my mind this year.

Just in case you might be interested, I saw that there is a video out that shows the US Mint personnel, and how they mint the ATBs.
There are only six presses in the world that can mint coins like these. Interesting to watch.

I guess these qualify... broke up a bunch of Jefferson Coinage and Currency sets recently and have a bunch of the silver dollars now. All of them are MS68-MS70 quality and many have some reverse toning. Much rather have a roll of silver dollars like this vs. a roll of boring circulated Morgan or Peace dollars!!!!

Really nice thread

 

this is one of the bullion coins i've picked up locally and is probably my wife's favorite

 

Here is my latest silver find for the week. I bought this today from a coin shop......................................





It is a "Sir Winston Churchill" 1-oz silver art bar. It was minted by Silver Creations in 1972. I paid a total price of $38.91 for it today (spot silver was $34.32/oz at that time).

 

Here is most of what is sitting in my office.

 

Nice! I want one of these..

 

Abused Maple Leaf, but it's my only one.

Dang! Some of you guys have a lot of silver! I recently sold 80 U.S. coins that contained appx 18 Troy Oz of silver. Here's some of what I have left:

 

And:

 

Some common-date 1950's & 60's Unc Franklin Halves I bought a few years ago on fee-bay, average cost between $5-$6 each. Mostly all diff. dates & MM's.

 

2011 Britannia silver proof

Somebody else posted one a while back, and I decided I had to have one.
It took the Royal Mint about 2 weeks to get it to me.
I really like the way the two images intertwine.

 

2010 Lennon silver proof

After Lance posted his, this is another one I just had to have.

 

There was a coin show that I went to today and I found and bought this silver art bar for only $25.00...............................








It is a Centennial Chattanooga Choo-Choo art bar (CHAT-1). It was minted in 1980 by Freedom Mint. Serial # A1013. All of you reading this post might find this hard to believe but I paid only $25.00 for it but I did. Here is my story:

When I went inside the coin show I saw it in one of the glass cases. There were also two 1970's Franklin Mint sterling silver bars inside the glass case along with the Choo-Choo silver art bar. I asked him about those bars and the dealer said that those 3 bars were all sterling silver bars. He was wrong on the Choo-Choo art bar because I knew that this bar was NOT sterling silver and it was a 1 oz .999 pure silver bar. So I asked him if that the Choo-Choo bar was really a sterling silver bar. After I asked the coin show dealer that, the dealer picked it up and took out his magnifier to examine the front of the bar. When he saw the ".999 silver One Ounce" stamped on the front, then he mentioned that this was a .999 silver bar. I was familar with this art bar because I bought another Centienial Choo-Choo silver art bar last year but I wanted to buy another one to add to my art bar collection if it was at a decent premium over spot silver.

I asked the dealer how much he wanted for the Choo-Choo bar. What he did next was to weigh the bar on his digital scale. It took him a while to weight it. I guess he was double checking the weight of the bar. After what appeared to be a long while, he took the bar off the scale and gave me a price of $25.00. I said to myself........"WHAT??????" Spot silver finished yesterday at $33.85/oz according to Kitco.com and he was selling it to me at $8.85 UNDER SPOT SILVER PRICE. At that point, I was deciding if I wanted to get it. It seemed too good to be true when I first heard that price so I asked that coin show dealer if that bar weighed 1-troy oz. He said that it did not weigh 1 troy oz. He said something about it weighing only "2/3 of an oz". I thought to myself "HUH?". So what I did next was to take a chance and buy that Choo-Choo bar for $25.00.

After I left the show, I decided to go to one of the coin shops in that area to get them to weigh this bar for me. I did not want to believe that this bar weighed well under 1 troy oz. The coin shop employee weighed the silver bar and it weighed 1 troy oz and I saw the reading for myself. Clearly this was an error on the coin show dealer's part but I suspect that he was using sterling silver conversions to figure out how much .999 pure silver was contained in this bar but I do not understand that because he clearly saw that it was .999 pure silver stamped on the bar and it weighed 1 troy oz when I took it to a coin dealer that was far away from the coin show. I suspect that he was trying to weigh this like a sterling silver bar and priced it like a sterling silver art bar despite the fact that the weight and purity was cleary stamped on the bar. I am just guessing on my part for why the dealer was asking for only $25 for a 1 troy oz .999 silver art bar when spot silver finished yesterday at $33.85/oz (Kitco quote).

I thought to myself.........I ended up getting this 1-oz silver art bar $25 which was well under spot because this dealer somehow kept thinking that this was sterling silver. I am not complaining because that was the price he gave me and I agreed to it. This ended up being one of my best finds of this year.
