A gorgeous Geiger 100 gram block.

I liked the look of the Geiger 100 gram bar, so purchased it for way above spot price..  I do love the bar but know that I should have been more patient..  for example.. I paid £44 for 100 grams yesterday from Chards..  but shelled out £75 almost double for this bar..  We live and learn.. a great investment regardless.

Nice haul of Austrian Philharmonics.

These coins are a class addition to my 2018 stack, I bought 10 of these Austrian Philharmonics, they are awesome, the averse depicts several orchestral instruments, including a cello, French horn and clarinet, with the obverse depicting an orchestral building with the monetary value of the coin, 1.50 Euros..  As secondary market coins of Chards own choice, I got a great deal at £16.10 each..

Gorgeous 2018 Rwandan lunar year of the Dog.

This is a 2018 Rwandan year of the Dog lunar Ounce..  It’s a very intrinsically sought after coin and is one of the most attractive pieces that I’ve collected to look at..  The abverse features a mosaic type graphic of a dog, and the Obverse denoting it’s value of 50 Mirongo Itanu..    It’s a lovely coin..

1 Ounce Silver bars.. Quite nice.

These were the first two silver 1 ounce bars that I purchased..  Looking back on it, this wasn't the wisest business move of my stacking..  The lower weight ingots don't carry as high a premium as the larger bars..  They are gorgeous to look at, but it is a lesson learned.. I payed roughly £20 each, the top bar is a Silvertown old fashioned bar, the bottom is a Johnson Matthey.

Hand poured Umicore 250g addition.

A Gorgeous monster of an ingot, with typical hand pouring imperfections, it’s a stunning item..  It was Chards own choice and a bargain at £130.
This is my largest single piece to date..  it’s also the most beautiful.

New haul from Chards in Blackpool.

 

Johnson Matthey 100g Silver ingot.. slight wear, but in great shape considering the life it’s probably had..   was a bargain..   £44.
