What Did You Get In 2012 Bullion So Far?

I just purchased 11.7735 ounces on craigslist of all places for $70 under spot. Included was a 1986 ASE, 1999 ASE, and two 2001 ASEs, 7 assorted 1 oz rounds, and one 1923 Peace dollar. Before making comments about all of the bad things about craigslist, I did my due diligence by grilling this guy on where he acquired them, and since he wasn't shy in posting pictures of them on craigslist under multiple categories I'm confident they aren't stolen. I also had them checked out at the coin shop just in case, everything checked out a-ok.

I'm sure that some have had bad experiences on craigslist, but I have purchased a great deal of coins from there are have been satisfied.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else ever bought coins from craigslist? I would be interested to hear what your experience was/is?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, LionelR:

I agree, those gold eagles are beautiful. I went down to the shop a while ago and saw the shop owner emptying a 20 count tube of them onto their display tray and was lucky enough to hold one. They are amazing, it's easy to see how so many people have contracted the gold bug!

Here's to wishing you get to hold one this year, or maybe even be lucky enough to own one!

 

Thanks for the good wishes!

 

Here is a pic of what I picked up today:

1987 ASE
1991 ASE
2012 Canadian Maple Leaf
59 & 60 Franklin
34 Walking Liberty
1884 and 1899 Morgans

 

Just bought Australia $15 2009 Koala Proof (likey 69 or perhaps 70) for $145 :yes:

 

I've gotten the 2012 ASE, the 2011-W ASE, and the last three 2011 hockey pucks so far in 2012.

 

I picked up a tube of 2012 ASE's and Canadian Moose.

 

I got the Lunar Series 2 Year of the Dragon 1 oz., American Silver Eagle, 2012 Silver Britannia

 

Bullion I've bought this year so far.

 

A couple of Silver Pandas a Mexican Libertad so far. Am going to get the 2 ASE set and possibly an AGE one tenth ounce.

 

4 Pamp Suisse Dragon lunar bars...

Traded 4 (Morgans and one Peace dollar) silver dollars for two Canadian Moose and $66!

 

Make sure you look at Prospectors for certain years, 83, 86 & 87.

 

I have at least 2 of every year except for the 1983 I don't have any yet. Haven't found one at the price I'm willing to pay.

 

I haven't bought any unless you count some cheap odds and ends world silver coins. I am thinking with the dollar strengthening, Europe weakening, and India and China having lower growth that maybe there will be a little more weakness.

I hope so, I keep finding world gold coins I would like to buy if they were a touch cheaper.

 

I got the Cougar and Moose from the RCM wildlife series, also from the RCM I got both the polar bear and the jubilee I got the Koala and the fiji taku. I got one each of the 5 oz pucks (which I got slabbed PCGS 69) for right about spot at the time shipped (some sort of apmex special maybe even error on their part). I would not have gotten had they not been at spot. All 2012 bullion. Might pick up one or two of the ASE 2 coin sets sometime b/f cutoff.

1/2, 1, 2, 5 oz perth mint dragons
1 oz Britannia
1 oz Panda
1 oz Koala

 

so far in 2012 I have picked up 20 ASE's, 10- moose, 10 cougar and finished my Walker set 40-47..... :thumb:

 

So far, I recently bought the ATB 5 oxt Bullion deal from APMEX, graded, then the first 5 BU bullion coins, with the W. Then I got a roll of the Canadian Wildlife Moose coins, when they first came out. I had to buy the first 3 (Wilf, Bear, Cougar) after market price. Then I bought a roll of US ASE's. I also got a 10 ozt Australian dragon coin, a Canadin dragon, scalloped edge, and another canadian dragon coin that I can't remember, as I have put them all in my bank SDBox.
I think I put over 85 oxts of silver into my safe depositbos lately.
I only keep small amounts around here that I still want to admire until they get into thebank.
