good evening gentlemen

Jesus Christ be praised.

PMs are the future, be they silver, gold, copper or tin. Metals make the world work!

>>53938186
That's a sexy slab of quartz and gold.

>>53938186
tin is slept on. need to stack some.

>>53938223
>tin is slept on. need to stack some.
Here's a handy chart for the next 30 years.

if i ever find a chunk of vein like that, i am keeping it intact and having my desk top made from it, like the head geos from Seabridge Gold did with their 500 kilo boulder at Valley of the Kings.

>>53938280
Why is gold so prevalent in quartz vains?

>>53938327
quartz is the solid form of a brine solution that upwells from below the crust / inbetween plates. At those depths, metals are dissolved in this brine solution, when ever a fault opens up, especially around magma plumes upwelling into higher layers of the crust, it shoots into these fractures and fissures often instantly solidifying into rock. During the infill process, temperatures and pressures crash, allowing metals to drop out of solution and form on the contact of the vein and host rock, or intrude into the host rock if its porous enough. This can happen hundreds of times on the same fault, allowing massive enriched veins to form. If the vein comes close to the surface, and is interacting with warm waters, metals can be redissolved from the vein and reform hyper enriched halos deeper down.

>>53938379
i love gold and pan man

notice how the general became comfy again once the leaf and figurine stopped quarreling. no offense to both parties but it's much calmer now without the back and forth

You know you're an absolute treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to this stuff. You're about the only tripfag I've ever come across worth their salt.

>>53938433
thats just the super simplified way to think about how these veins form. The "fluid" coming up the faults isnt really liquid, its stuck between liquid and gas due to the pressures. We also dont understand how the metals dissolve into solution in nature at depth or on surface, the process seems to happen in many different ways. A good example are gold nuggets that "grow" in the red deserts of Australia. Gold nuggets found in western Aus are spongy and very light for their size, its speculated that gold particles migrate through the ground to larger nodes of the same metal, and "grow" off this as a base. It can also happen in streams, depending on the Ph of the local water system gold in solution can drop out and grow sharp crystals in sediments.

>>53938508
Thank you! its always a pleasure! I am currently on the mends, i have to be very gentle with myself for about a week, a root canal i just had done had the filling fall out and i am in utter agony until it gets replaced.

>>53938563
Root Canals are a waste of time mate, just have it removed and be done with it.

>>53938574
it will probably have to come out, but i have to wait a week to have it done. until then, i am stuck with pain meds and dental wax to keep the hole plugged.

>>53938433

I wish I did guuder in skool and went for geology...

That's a cool piece OP.

Retard question here. What happens to the value of coins when a currency becomes hyper inflated? I've noticed when a country goes full retard on money printing they only print on paper, do the coins gain any significant value over their face value?

Boys I’m fuckin skunked on my 9th brew and I wanna buy a lot of 10 coins or rounds. Tell me which to get and I’ll do it.

Luv u.

>>53938871
No ser. The hand of the child king who sharts gold nuggets.

>>53939206
if you think about it, there was a time where ten copper pennies was readily exchanged for a silver dime

>>53939206
>do the coins gain any significant value over their face value?
If they're made of a precious metal, they may be seen more as the commodity they are made of.

>>53939206
If you look at Venezuela niggas were breaking off grains of gold to buy shit when their currency became toilet paper. I think the actual reality in the western context is that gold and silver will see a continuous growth as economic conditions get slowly shittier. If we see full blown Weimar inflation PMs will blow up but a lot of poor fucks will be stuck sucking duck for weinerschnitzel rather than taking the time to stack.

Long and short is: buy PMs but make sure you’re in a position where lots of rainy days don’t force you to cash in your stack for a fresh pair of knee pads.

Land, a massive store of food, guns, AND PMs are the secret path to the master race where goblins are lining up to get creampied.

>>53939206
Depends what they are made of but obviously metal > paper even if it was rusted steel so the # on the coin would no longer track linearly with the # on the paper.

I know it’s hard to tell by the photo, but I’m pretty sure I’m over 100 ounces of silver.
Time to start on the gold train.

>>53939246
All of this seems logical, predictable and inevitable to those with an awareness of history and the eyes to see the present.
However, history also shows the limitless evil of govt and big banksters through these cycles.
Namely, I would fully expect the govt to repeat declaring pms illegal for common peasants to posess and would demand civil forfeiture of all privately held pms. Together with making it illegal to be bought or sold outside govt or big bankster operations
Not to fud. But I have concerns.

>>53938081
This has almost certainly been cleaned right?

>>53939209
I'm partial to elephants.

>>53939374
Looks like a dipped AU with some bumps. You won't get an (((MS grade))) on it anyway so cleaning doesn't really matter

>>53939453
I generally don’t care if a coin has been cleaned or not, but if I’m buying one for its history that’s 126 years old I think cleaning takes most of the SOVL away

>>53939341
You’re completely right. However, if there is a slow burn of the average pleb being degraded until they are in the pods eating bugs there will be a slow rise in PMs as those capable of holding onto such assets such as banks, the upper class, and the schizos on here who are stashing beans, bullets, and bullion will see gains as those who can afford to fight inflation place their fiat into hard assets.

The other side of the coin is an outright confiscation of metals and the only answer to that is you will see me on the news blowing away feds in Minecraft for trying to steal muh metals.

The Jews will try and bleed you dry, fren. Self sufficiency is key in the coming decades. Moonshiners I’m West Virginia will see the greatest freedoms while your average upper class yuppie is getting put into gulags.

>>53939365
Is the crusader still up? Bought another on the 28th thinking presale would close but apparently it’s still up?

>>53939383
Damn, anon. Luv me some ellies but there’s a market in stacking the last year queen lizard is on the coins and I’m torn between maples and brits.

>inb4 kangaroos

>>53939538
>Is the crusader still up? Bought another on the 28th thinking presale would close but apparently it’s still up?
looks like

>>53939495
Look for one with even black patina or rich cabinet toning. Everything else was at least dipped at some point

>>53938081
sauce on the OP I need some coomer silver

What coin with the lizard queen is worth stacking, frens? This year is special and something we’ll be looking back on in our rocking chairs 40 years from now when our strategic stacking of dead queen coins pays off.

>maples?
>brits?

>>53939649
I was also looking at this one but idk how it can be equally worn on both sides but significantly darker on one

>>53939680
I'd say brits but only because the obverse portrait on maples is absolute dogshit and the smaller diameter pisses me off

>>53939680
I fucking love Brits, but let's be honest here: if we're talking silver, just get both.

>>53939704
>equally worn on both sides but significantly darker on one
Typical for a hoard. The dark side was exposed to elements

>>53939755
Ah that makes sense, thanks for the information. I’m buying old European monarch coins to start a collection and i dont know much about numismatics and how to tell a real coin from a fake one

>>53939538
My 'concern' with Maples and Brits are they're the same design except for the year stamp. That narrows the field of buyers when you sell to autists who know for the year.
But I like Maples, too.

>>53939204
floor reflection under 'ad astra' is world breaking

>>53939840
Patrician taste anon. If you have a chance I suggest you visiting numismatic museums or coin shows. It helps to develop a good eye for genuine coins

>>53939887
My love of the leaf and hatred for England makes me lean towards the maple. Think I’m gonna go for it, bros.

>>53939997
Order’s in. Gonna have some explaining to do to the wife but lmao get rekt woman I love maples.

Yeah that's bullshit, wtf is mintanon doing?

Any of you guys into stacking vintage bullion like Engelhard/Johnson Matthey? The premiums on some of the variants sound retarded to me but I wonder if there's a collector's market to be had there.

>>53939538

God willing we’ll seek them in the next month. There’s been such bad delays in these coins I’m wanting to get a design agreed upon by anons here, pay for a 100 rounds upfront, and sell them directly once I receive them even though it’ll be a constant fight with jannies banning the shit out of me. We’d still have to deal with a long waiting period but nobody but myself would be out the money until the coins arrived.

If and when a tooth gets fucked up im immediately finding someone to replace it with precious metals. Fuck teeth, fill me with platinum toofs.

Good morning sirs.

>>53940289
i was originally waiting for a gold crown to go over said tooth, as well as a few others, but now i am stuck waiting to get the work finished.

>>53940103
Mintanon has shown he can get the rounds made, but he’s been pretty shitty overall and some of the designs have not been as good as they could have been. I would say I wish someone better would take over, but other than frensmark, I don’t know if there are any worthwhile rounds left to make. Although mintanon also does not seem interested in making frensmark. I don’t know why. He’s probably too scared.

Green text of the week right here, /pmg/ never disappoints. In all seriousness I can't stop doing late night sniping Morgans on feeBay, some great deals to be had. Loaded up on about 20 this week. Can't even use being drunk as an excuse, just sheer silver consoomer lizard brain.

>>53940944
Are you buying specifically from the Liberty Coin seller? It's that guy's promo code

due to inflation bullshit, is it even worth buying silver at the moment? should i just wait?

>>53941097
??? Wait for what?

>>53941051
Yea i think i tried those 2 codes and neither worked.
>>53941011
i got locked outa ebay and they want me to call but im guna kms if that works,
also i looked up that bei bei coin goes for 60 to 80ish online, to bad it wasnt bao bao i woulda creamed

>>53941011
This code does not seem to work anymore, just tried to use it on a bunch of different things from Libery. Looks like they (((shut it down)))

>>53938081
This is supposed to go up your ass, right?

>>53941136
>follow up samefag post with meme
I had to do it

>>53941103
>>53941136
God fucking damnit I'm getting cucked in real time. I haven't bought anything since my car got totaled. And I'm the one that told you all about the sovereign and promo code too.

>>53941173
I want another dip at the end of March so I can slurp up some LMU (at least 5) and a couple of Asahi 10 oz bars

>>53941222
I'm just trying to recoup some of the rainy day fund I have set aside for the car purchase until I buy more PMs. I also haven't sold the positions I have yet to liquidate to get more cash yet because I'm waiting for an upturn which has been in progress this week.

>>53941136
fuk, thats okay, i found a bao bao going for like 50 bucks on ebay guna buy it and hope its not fake so the brothers can be together guna end up buying more pandas
>>53941173
its okay i didnt get to buy anything either, liberty coin actually has the cheapest 50 peso coin on the web if its still discounted

>>53941173
I missed out too fren. I got paid yesterday, only to discover I'm too late

>>53941259
I know that feel. Had to dip in a bit bit early on some of my set aside money due to the market downturn.

>>53938081
anyone know where to get a bunch of coin capsules for cheap? want to start selling silver so i can buy more bullion.

>>53941327
The best deals are to buy in bulk. Look for 250-count boxes of 39mm and/or 40.6mm capsules. I find them on ebay for $70.
Also, Amazon has these (pic related). I don't know for qaulity, but since these are going away it shouldn't much matter (to you anyway).

boxes officially en-route after heavy delays. will ship the rest of the order the moment we get them.

in other news we got alot of stuff cooking in the back as they say. we expect to have some stickers and other fun little things for mid year.

>>53941354
i want to be a quality guy and have repeat customers, i wana be proud I'm supplying people with their money. those look decent but i want to get the ones with the black foam rings maybe since the first time i saw a silver coin it was in one of those. im a lil drunk though so i might buy those

>>53941364
Woo-hoo! Looking forward to it.

>>53941375
The rings are personal taste. Personally, I bought both the 250-pack of 39 and 40.6mm (and a second one of the 40.6 actually), but I simply didn't know the Amazon ones existed at the time.

>>53941375
I'm pretty sure these are the type that would have the black foam inserts inside, 39mm/40.6mm is already the largest a silver round can get.

>>53941396
>39mm/40.6mm is already the largest a silver round can get.
Nay nay... I got a 10-pack of 560mm to accommodate rounds like this 2-ozt.

>>53941418
D'oh! 50mm, not 560

>>53941391
true im thinkin of buyin some 40 sunshine mint bars to sell since they come prepackaged but i also want to buy asahi bars and capsules for them since their nicer, which would sell better? or should i buy some eagles for 590ish and sell those in capsules instead?

>>53941452
>which would sell better
I probably differ in opinion on what to buy. My primary preference is for currently minted (or at least commonly in-stock) coins that change patterns from year to year. My hope/belief is that they are links in series and collectors who want to complete series in the future (when they are *not* in dealerships) will be willing to pay more. Like
>>53939383
or pic related, etc.
I'm not a fan of "buy the cheapest," but accept others have different opinions on that.

>>53941492
Ahhhh ya, i usually have coins, but i got this old guy that called and talked to me for 15 minutes and he was looking for weight, so i wanted to stock some of that, i bought some eagles for 34 bucks a piece but i dont mind keeping those since i got lucky and they were 2020s, if you were to buy some inventory at the moment, what would you order?

>>53941452
Premium silver rounds (think kookaburras, queen's beast, pandas) are going to be easier to mark up than more generic items like sunshine mint bars. It helps if they're limited edition or low in availability.

>>53941505
>if you were to buy some inventory
Not being a dealer, I don't really know what others want, which for whom I'd be buying.
For me though - gold. Also Pd is comically low right now, and i have faith Pt will climb. I buy silver for the art and designs. I don't expect it to Moon in my lifetime.

Got my 2012 Sovereign today, thanks to the anon who posted about it.
First time I've ever got gold at spot.

>>53941530
Is platinum extra-durable to not have to keep them in the capsules? I read a US mint director's book and he mentioned platinum had such a higher premium than Gold and Silver because it's very hard and heat resistant, which makes minting a pain in the ass

>>53941547
>Is platinum extra-durable
Dunno, but I suppose a search on the world brain would yield answers.

>>53938081
Current 2nd stack 140ish oz and 1 oz of gold but with my other stack im at 500+ and 4+ oz of gold, both in pelican products

In the 30s when Mussolini asked all Italian citizens, everywhere to turn in their gold wedding rings there were many of them who actually did it. In return the government there sent them iron wedding bands with "gold for the fatherland" or some such shit inscribed on it.
They took a whole lot more gold than that but I want one of those rings to remind myself about what the governments around the world will do to get your gold.
I have looked around the internet but I can't find any of them for sale.

>>53941492
I want a coin like that. Silver on the outside with a gold center. Like an egg yolk in the middle of a silver egg white. That's just a 1 oz coin on top of a kilo coin, right? If so I'm sure they don't have the same width.

>>53941782
Well deduced, Anon - you're 100% right.
1ozt Au on top of 1kg Ag,
radically different thicknesses.

Some of you guys will also turn blue from drinking out of silver cups constantly.

Silver is a shitcoin to use a crypto analogy

Silver is for troons, notice all the doll posters have a mountain of silver and own 1 full ounce of gold.

Silver is called junk silver for a reason, its junk.

Silver is sold way way above spot and rebought way below spot.

Silver is for poor people that cant afford gold

Silver is for dumb people because the premiums are higher than fractional gold.

Silver takes up too much space, imagine carrying 60k in silver vs 60k in a gold kilo.

Silver is only sought investment wise by westerners, no one in Africa, or the 3rd world is looking at silver, it looks too similar to other cheap metals like aluminum, steel, etc from a distance, they dont even care about platinum..

If you stack silver youre a poor fag or a doll troon.

Case closed.

thanks anon, I enjoyed that.

I was only 69 years old. I loved Red Rabbit so much, I downloaded all the videos and memes. I'd pray to Red Rabbit every night before I go to bed, thanking for the honor I've been given. Red Rabbit is love, I would say, Red Rabbit is life. My mom’s boyfriend hears me and calls me a neet. I knew he was just jealous for my devotion of Red Rabbit. I called him a nocarroter. He slaps me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel something touch me. It's Red Rabbit. I'm so happy. He whispers in my ear, Think Bigger. He grabs me with his powerful dev hands, and puts me on my hands and knees. I open my metamask wallet for Red Rabbit. He inputs the RR contract and tells me to sell my Chainlink (TICKER: LINK). It hurts so much, but I do it for Red Rabbit. I can see the green line go up as my eyes start to water. I push the button and sell the rest of my link from other wallets. I want to please Red Rabbit. He roars a mighty roar, as he fills my portfolio with his love. My mom’s boyfriend walks in. Red Rabbit looks him straight in the eye, and says, Red Rabbit Keeps Pumping. Red Rabbit leaves through my window. Red Rabbit is love. Red Rabbit is life.

glad I bought but real returns aren't as impressive as it looks due to inflation

Thinking of grabbing another sov for my kid. They already have the 2022 jubilee version. Think I should get a 2023 Charles but with the queens symbol on the back? It’s a sexier version of the previous.

Or I was going to grab something like a Bombay mint 1918 or a young Vicky.

Outbid again. Went to bed at 1AM. Two auctions with 0 bids. Bid on both, am the winner, go to bed. Wake up at 9am, sorry anon you were outbid. On auctions that ended at 4am and 5am and had no bids. How does this keep happening? Someone waking up at 4am to outbid me? Script?

>"excuse me may I look at this Sovereign up close?"
>swallow it
Then what? In this situation what would the worker do and what do you do? Do you try to make a run for it for do you stare into his eyes with a chadly gaze?

Out of curiosity, i checked the prices of sterling silverware i recently acquired on ebay, but new and sold by the silversmith.
I expected it to be x2 spot or something like that... i was far from expecting those prices.

It's almost x10 spot lol. I checked 2 others tableware silversmiths and prices were in the same range. That's fucking insane the margin they make!
To think i'm buying the exact same items but already used on ebay for less than spot price.. I bought the same spoon in my pic for 35 bux last month ffs!
Bros, definitely NEVER consider buying new silverware and think it will be worth anything more than melt value. Unless you have some kind of antique or special pieces, it might be the worst store of value ever, and definitely a horrible heirloom long-term appreciation wise.
Only buy secondhand silverware if you wanna acquire some.

Holy fuck..

Probably, i don't hesitate to set up my alarm in the dead middle of night if i think i might get a good deal.

>>53943097
dude those prices. I can get a new hallmarked set for about £750. Something extra special about those ones you screencapped? Looking at some silverware myself on ebay. If cunts dont keep outbidding me on them. But yeah man unless you want to eat with them, they'll pretty useless as an investment. I guess in times gone by people used to give them to their kids / as wedding gifts etc. I just want some to eat with so I can eat like a chad. Want a silver goblet too but the prices are crazy.

>>53943104

>>53941990
get her a silver dildo with a cross on it

>>53943120
>Something extra special about those ones you screencapped?
Not that i'm aware of. It's Christofle, a reputed silverware maker but nothing too fancy, a big chunk of the ebay offers from the 60s onward you can find are from them in France, maybe 50%. It's mass produced stuff..
I already loved picking up silverware on ebay ever since scrapfren initiated me to the art, but now i feel like i'm scamming the sellers kek.

>I just want some to eat with so I can eat like a chad. Want a silver goblet too but the prices are crazy.
That's what i do too. Silver goblet, silver fork, silver spoon at every meal. Feel like royalty at each bite.
But what do you mean with crazy prices for goblets? The ones i found were in part with other silver items. The only exceptions were for very old goblets (250+ yo), who i noticed fetch a big premium - like x2 spot - IF they are in good condition (no big bonks on the surface).

>>53941990
Armenian Noah's Ark 1oz? Elegant, simple, cheap and well known. You can find them for 23.50€ rn, the cheapest gubment minted coin.

>>53943184
>But what do you mean with crazy prices for goblets?
So the ones I've seen have been like well over £350 (€400ish) for a pint size one. Plus they're usually not in my country and ebay wants to scam me even further by adding VAT (or maybe it's import tax) which I think isn't legal for second hand metals. Bidding on some silver spoons that end in an hour. Well I'll wait until theres a few mins left then bid I guess.

Did spend my Sunday morning biking 5 minutes on from my usual panning spot and went to a flea market.
Guess if you know what you’re doing, got a lot of time and a very high tolerance for second hand smoke (or if you’re into pewter or brass scrapping) you might find something good, but apart from 1 obviously silver pope thingy (but those tend to be plated generally) and some Iraqi (?) 1971 coin that had some patina that might have indicated some silver content, I saw nothing worth a closer look. Didn’t expect much anyways and I needed the exercise, so it’s all good.
Guess I’ll stick to panning.

>>53943204
>for a pint size one
OOF.. that's maybe because of the size you are looking for? Personally the goblets i got are the size of a normal glass, so 25cl approx.
But 400 bux still seems incredibly high...

>or maybe it's import tax
Can confirm. It works both way. It's just some retarded tax wars between Bongland and EU politikikes. Some kind of globohomo revenge for the Brexit. And it's confusing because it's the same amount as the VAT. So you pay VAT, then VAT again. Then the postal services feasting on you, charging you with all kind of "procedure fees" and "custom charges" who are themselves taxed, and you can't get around those either. Their job is exactly the same from before the brexit, but they will steal another 10 bux from you. Fucking mailkikes. I have a smol business online, and i had to stop importing stuff from UK too.. I believe if it's below 10 bux of value it's not taxed tho. 10 bux...
As always it's the little ppl who pay for the dick contests of politician trannies who try to justify their salary by making our lives literal hell on earth. And then every parasite down the way taking their pound of flesh. Postal services being public institutions and acting like thieves really is the last nail in the coffin.

>>53943204
>Well I'll wait until theres a few mins left then bid I guess.
You need to bid when there is only 4sec left max! No wonder you are losing your auctions bro!

>>53943300
You're right, but i'm not gonna stay up till 4 or 5am to bid a few seconds before it's all over. I suppose I should set an alarm though but fuck I already don't get enough sleep as it is.
>>53943290
>mailkikes
tell me about it. Although i've been pretty successful buying metals from US/Canada, Bermuda too. Not had one single import tax/vat tax or mailkike extra fees. EU though? happens a lot.

>>53942257
Pro tip:
If you stack for your heirs you gotta tell them where it is! I know where my parents have their stack hidden and they knew where their parents had theirs.
Well mostly…
>grandpa passed away
>everything was done in order, he also made sure during his lifetime that most stuff gets passed on in a tax efficient way
>clean out the basement
>ewww, what is that shitty duffel bag?
>you know, those first gen 70s plastic with brittle exterior because the softeners gassed out and sticky inside because of the PU coating “melting”
>wait, why’s that thing so heavy?
>so we held our breaths and investigated
>turns out there was about 10k in silver and gold in it
Grandpa 2 only stacked like 1k in silver in a fake electrical cabinet that we did t know about. Luckily we knew the real cabinet so finding a second one in some corner of the basement raised suspicion and we had a look into it.

>>53943366
>If you stack for your heirs you gotta tell them where it is!
so here's how I planned for this. I have some shit hidden away. You know gmail has a feature where if you don't sign in for 3 or 6 months it will assume you're dead. You can designate some email addresses that it will unlock for. So i've written a message to my wife and kids explaining where the monies are, passwords for things (one time codes for 2FA etc) and where my crypto is and how to access it. I'm extremely unlikely to not log into gmail unless i'm dead or in prison or something. I've listed all my one time codes, and how to access my bitwarden/crypto wallets etc and locations of buried treasure. Seems like a good plan to me.

>>53941612
>>53941624
Thanks.

>>53943396
Is this bait?

>>53941811
I wonder what the weights and measures of a coin like that would be. Ounce of gold yolk. Same diameter for the silver coin as the kilo, but the same width as the gold. Subtract an amount of silver equal to the area of the gold coin. What is the resulting weight of the silver donut?

>>53943501
The info is all encrypted, and requires knowledge that only my wife knows. But you got a better plan? i'm all ears.

Sweet, I won my auction for the silverware lads.

>>53943104
>Name every metal in existence
Here's your list. Also not every metal is worth having, either due to them being useless or radioactive.

>>53943552
Nice. Any decent spoons?

>>53943746
They were all spoons yep. pack of 6 hallmarked ones for £55

Silver *DOES NOT* end the Fed.
Silver and gold end your wallet.
Silver and gold are not an inflation hedge as we've all seen now, they are in fact, useless barbaric relic.

Gold and silver are fucking worthless. They have literally dumped 90% since last year and won't stop any time soon. The thing about silver is that there's more than 100x as much in the ground as there is gold (which is also worthless), and its "industrial uses" are massively overrated because copper outclasses it for any conceivable use.

>>53944082
You have to go back

>>53944082
Bro people collect stamps and plastic bobble heads. Some people collect spoons and digital assets. If I waste my life collecting cool coins and my son pawns them for bellow spot and buys a lifted F250 or a down payment on a house I’m okay with that. It’s fun for me and easy to liquidate when I die.

>>53944095
Never, stop buying gold and silver I demand so.

>>53944098
I will, thanks. You keep buying your funk pops, your shitcoin and your iPhoon.
>reee you silber people retarded
yep. now off you pop. You said your piece.

Are you talking about a giant stemmed goblet or a 1 pint sterling tankard or mug? I don't remember seeing any huge silver chalices except maybe for antique gilded ones from defunct Catholic or Orthodox churches. Once in my early days of scrapping I saw a hallmarked Georgian English goblet made in 1787, wonderfully decorated and not bespoke/monogrammed either. They were asking $125 Buy-It-Now but sadly I didn't immediately understand what a good deal it was, after researching for 10 minutes I decided to buy it but someone else had snapped it up by then. I have some nice but more modern goblets now and this "pint" beer mug with a capacity I measured at 18 fluid ounces that cost just under $18/ozt asw which was a fair price but I still think about and regret not gobbling up that cheapie old goblet. Anyway I'd recommend patience, don't FOMO into something at retail price, instead just wait for a shitty auction format listing, maybe where they neglect to include "sterling" in the title but show the hallmarks in the pics, and try to get it at closer to melt value. The wait may test your patience but I promise you that good deals get posted somewhat regularly. Also what kind of spoons did you get? Proper ~15cm teaspoons or were they babby demitasse spoons?

>>53943184
>but now i feel like i'm scamming the sellers kek.
That's far better than letting the sellers scam you like they almost always try to do. It's interesting how the eternal Jew has manipulated our morality into feeling guilty over actually getting good deals instead of overpaying and making them rich and fat.

>>53940077
>vintage bullion like Engelhard/Johnson Matthey?
Yes. My favourites

To the anon who was interested in my Polynians, I've decided I'm just going to keep them. It's not good opsec for me to mail anything to anyone from this general due to the hateful, violent rhetoric (even including death threats) that I constantly get from transphobic here (case in point >>53944115, or just scan through the last couple threads to see how bad it gets). This is also the reason I've not purchased any of the meme rounds. It's too bad too, since I was willing to give them to you for just the cost of shipping, because I'd like to see them find a good home (I don't need the money, I'm just downsizing to declutter my life). Guess they'll keep living in my closet for the foreseeable future and I'll fish them out for the occasional coin/stack pic.

>>53944226
>1 pint sterling tankard or mug
but im limiting my searches to uk only so i don't get stung on import/vat. I haven't seen any like the prices you have. Have to keep looking, yeah i'm not going to pay the prices i've seen. I do try to look for ones like you say that show hallmarks but they aren't clued up on what they mean. The ones that sell mainly silver items know they can charge a premium and charge well over melt.

>>53944268
>Guess they'll keep living in my closet
why dont you get a display case

>>53943201
Preach

How do you effectively bid snipe? Looking at something that has a day before it ends. Do I drop a high bid with less than a minute to go and pray the competition doesn’t have the time to outbid me?

>>53944268
Anon, nobody actually gives a fuck that you're a tranny. The reason why there's so much tranny bashing here is because people are tired of having the trans agenda shoved down their throats. Making those little edits of an anime girl in front of a trans flag holding a gold coin isn't helping anyone to accept you, it's only annoying them more. Just live your life, stack pms, talk about them online, and don't even bring up the fact your trans, especially on a site where posters are meant to be anonymous.
Also, you know the rules, post coins on fake tits.

>>53943508
Based on the thickness of the gold (0.27 cm), and the size of the kilo Ag (10 cm) minus the Ag where the gold goes (3.269 cm), times the density of silver (10.49 g/cc) plus the 1 ozt of gold, that all comes out to 229.8 g = 7.39 ozt.
It would be a very thin coin for the diameter.

>>53944270
Alright it sounds like you are approaching things properly. If you don't already, try searching "silver mug" (tankard, cup, goblet, etc), auction format only and sorted most recently listed first in all categories, not just the "sterling silver" subcategory. Searching "sterling" whatever in titles is easy and obvious so you'll have tons of competition, figuring out what other search terms or strategies efficiently hit on "sleeper" silver is how to vacuum up the cheapies. The listings that are fresh show up at the top and ones that are overpriced and keep getting automatically relisted show up lower down so depending on the total number of results often only the first page is worth looking at when you run your weekly search, if you keep it up a while you'll get a good sense for which subcategories hold poorly listed sleepers and you can search through those subcategories more attentively.
>The ones that sell mainly silver items know they can charge a premium and charge well over melt.
Yep, here they have a pretty recognizable background and listing style so I just scroll right past all their overpriced shit while scanning for promising deals. Don't give the pros a second of your attention, you want listings posted by noob sellers with no established customer base and unprofessional pictures, titles and descriptions. As a general rule, excellent pics mean shit deals and shit pics mean excellent deals so i instinctively gravitate toward the latter when scanning search results. It'll take time to build up your instincts and heuristics but once you have figured things out it takes very little time to stay on top of things.

>>53944389
Thanks for the tips anon.
>>53943201
Where can I get this for €23.50?

That's such a cool coin.

>>53944313
Displaying weeb purchases isn't really my style anymore. My home décor still has a flare of weeb to it, but overall, it's a lot more refined and mature these days. My shelves are mostly books, potted pants, framed pictures, fossils, and the occasional weeb trinket. Displaying figures would take it a steep too far into the weeb/consoomer territory.

Seconding the specs on either of the pelican cases. Been using ammo crates and they do the job but I want to try something different and cigar boxes seem pretty weak.

>>53944553
Have you thought of or suggested humidors? They can be quite elegant for the size.
Also if you get really big box, you may not be able to pick them up when they get full.

>>53944480
>fossils
Post rocks fren. I like hunting for glaciated fossils in creeks, Halysites "chain corals" are among my favorites. I lived in Maryland as a kid and used to hunt for Miocene fossil shark teeth, that was unbelievably enjoyable.

>>53944628
Honestly, I think I may just stick with old faithful. Metal ammo crates are cheap, lock tight, and easy to move and store. Plus, I feel like an African warlord storing my metals next to my boxes of ammunition.

>>53944752
Cool... you see your path forward.

>>53944631
>Halysites
Just looked that up. That's really neat, anon. Sharks are fascinating creatures to me. I haven't found any fossils that interesting myself, but I have pick up a few during my travels. The big tooth pictured is actually from a megalodon. It's wild to think such creatures roamed the waters.

I wonder if PAN MAN ever comes across neat fossils. It seems like if you're out mining and panning for precious metals, you're bound to come across such things.

>>53944913
Germania is the weirdest fucking mint. They make beautiful coins that put Britannias to shame but those fucking bars have text from Crash Bandicoot. Uncle Adolf would be sad.

Are you a numismatics kinda dude? I respect the stack but those are some spicy premiums per coin.

>>53945015
I really wish the text would read Looney Troons

>>53944913
>The big tooth pictured is actually from a megalodon

Hell yeah very nice, we never found any intact ones but my dad bought a stunning 6.5" meg tooth back in the 90s, they've proven to be excellent investments. Here are a few of my personally found fossil corals including 5 halysites specimens, it depends on the matrix stone but the contrast on some is extraordinary, they're worth a decent bit for a rock as-is and would be truly stunning and more valuable cabbed and polished but I love the natural glacially-rounded look of them. When walking creekbeds and scanning thousands of rocks for patterns the chain corals really jump out and smack ya in the face, it's pretty thrilling to find them in the wild.

>>53945028
Yea I like old silver. He hosed me on the mercury dimes but I got him back on some of the other ones he overlooked.

>>53944948
You know the mint isn't located in Germany, right? Also, most their rounds have cringey coomer art on one side (however, the reverse is always beautiful).

>>53945035
That sounds like a lot of fun. Have you ever been to Utah? If you enjoy creek walks and fossils, then it's a really fun place. Picrel is a plesiosaur jaw fossil that I got when I was there. I'd love to go back some day. I bet Utah has gold. If I ever go back, I'd make sure to plan a little panning while I'm there.

>>53945119
>You know the mint isn't located in Germany, right?
I think he's just brit bashing. You can't look at that coin and tell me the design and text doesn't look like a direct rip of a britannia. Plus the retarded eagle thing on the other side, kek.

>>53945119
Meh, the coomer art isn't bad. I would buy them but they want too fucking much for premiums. Would only be worth it to me to buy tubes if they were the same price as most government coins, maybe miniscule more. But the prices they charge are bogus, they aren't that fine art of rounds.

>>53945119
>coomer art
>cringe

Silver titties are timeless, anon. Think of your great grandson busting nuts in the bomb shelter to finely toned Greek depictions of a swan clapping some dumb bitch’s cheeks.

>>53945161
>if they were the same price as most government coins
You know they're not coins, right?

>>53944913
my home region in northern BC is partially composed of ancient sea floor, uplifted and than intruded by volcanics. We have all sorts of fossils, from the end of the dinos to the beginnings of human colonization. Some of the best insect fossils on earth come from the Driftwood Fossil Bed, just 4 km from my first home, you can count the blood vessels in the wings of mosquitos preserved in that material. Amber and opal material also appear on the Bulkley and Skeena Rivers, eroding from bedding high on cliffs.

>>53945035
I have one coral fossil. Looks like a pair of jet engines. This is a parallel stereo image.

>>53945148
Anon, it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

>>53945203
Meds.

>>53945253
That's so rad! Do you have any pics of things you've found while panning?

Allegory set pretty great. The tree leaves ones I don't get who they appeal to. Stacking commonwealth coins gets pretty boring. A bunch of tall boys deep and you start buying weird shit for laughs.

>>53945119
Nope never been west of Colorado, I'd love to explore Utah someday though. My glacial fossils are from Ohio to Iowa, mostly Illinois. Regarding the jaw fossil, please don't hate me but I'm certain that it's a Moroccan "composite" Mosasaurus fossil. The teeth are genuine and it looks really cool, but there is a deeply entrenched cottage industry in Morocco where they construct more complex composites like jaws or attach fossils found separately to matrix rock in more visually interesting arrangements to sell wholesale to rock shops abroad, you can find lots of discussion on Moroccan composites searching online.

>>53942529
yep, quartz is super abundant in the earths crust, but the primary reason it hosts gold so often as well as other minerals is its ability to dissolve metals and minerals while in a super fluid state. Quartz acts as the perfect transport for metals in solution. Water will do the job too, especially at great pressures found around plate boundaries, where VMS deposits are often founded.

>>53945261
not much from panning but hang on i ll grab some Ammonites i have laying around in the house. I am sure i have some Driftwood fossil bed material as well around here. Its unfortunate that the spot became a park, it was basically unknown before then, now its been destroyed by vandals.

>>53938280

Got a pic of these desks you're referencing?

>>53945254
Nice rugose coral fren, those are always fun to find too. Sometimes I find glaciated "Petoskey stone" colony specimens, the detail preserved can be remarkable.

>>53945276
>super fluid state
Is that like a supercritical fluid/gas? It shoots up from great heat and pressure and the quartz/gold gets deposited really fast when it cools down and depressurizes?

>>53945254
Probably fossilized jet engines from the ancient nuclear war between demigods and humans.

Its just the ruck case for when you head out i have a 1600 i think full of silver and gold , that was the only case i brought when i moved out here, heres the dimensions Int. Dims. 7.63" x 4.70" x 1.90"

>>53945313
no unfortunately, but the lead Geo for Seabridge Gold had a massive boulder found at Valley of the Kings, what later became the famous Brucejack Mine slabbed into several pieces by the guys at Jade City, one was used as a promotional piece, and the other was used as a desk top. I ll go bug one of my old manager friends from Seabridge and see if hes got any photos, it was an incredible piece of material.
>>53945322
exactly right! The supercritical fluid, rich in metals, most commonly on the fringes of volcanic magma chambers shoots into any fault or fissure that opens, injecting the metals rich material into the rock and quickly hardening into new rock. This can happen over and over again on the same fault, creating veins 60m wide like what you see at Bonanza Ledge in the Cariboo district or the Motherlode deposits of California.
>>53945261
here's a leaf fossil from Driftwood, this outcrop was once the shore of an ancient lake. The main fossil bed however was the deep, calm lake bottom, which slowly filled with volcanic ash over 3 centuries, entombing fish, bugs, and even birds.

>>53945365
Appreciate your effort fren, sounds really cool!

>>53945365
Nice! Did you find those yourself? Very cool. I always love hearing about your adventures. You know so much.

>>53945365
Is that a /pmg/-stamped silver round? How did you have that made?

sad i missed out on that liberty coin sovereign deal, just didn't have time to make the purchase and now they are all sold out!

Opinions on platinum in the future?

>>53945399
ah a new guy I see! These were the first coins /PMG/'s very own Mintanon produced for us!
>>53945391
yes many many years ago with my dad. We used to wander along the creeks near Driftwood looking for new outcrops. All sorts of stuff would pop out of the sand stone, including fish fossils and a few bits of mammoth tusk too. Down on the Skeena we would find Ammolite, the opalized form of ammonite fossils, as well as all sorts of clams and other ancient sea life leftovers.

>>53945471
Whoa, your life a moovie! Have you watched the JRE episode with John Reeves from The Boneyard Alaska? If you think ice age animals are interesting, what this guy has on his property will blow your mind. What am I saying though; you probably know about his situation that I do.

>>53945507
i ve heard of this guy but havent watched the episode yet! Its very interesting what shows up in the Yukon and Alaskan wastes, whole fields of animals show up in places, all killed at the same time. Not only that, but there are hints of long forgotten settlements up there, likely from before the last ice age, but almost no work has been done yet up there looking into them.

>>53945347
>I'll be more discerning next time.
Live and learn anon, it's still cool looking and the teeth themselves are real but yeah, ya gotta be careful about fakes in more than just coins. They make cast plastic trilobites slapped on real matrix stone and other things too, yours is legit but get into the rare fancy stuff and scammers will always be waiting to take advantage of people.

>>53945559
to be honest we have very little idea how those veins formed. Native copper banding like what you see along lake Superior and Michigan are extremely rare in nature, the same goes for native silver too. These elements like to form bonded with other metals / minerals. I can do some research if your interested in how these areas formed, its fascinating to me as well.

>>53945559
>pure native copper in Michigan

>>53945460
I don’t see where to safely divert funds from silver and gold into platinum. Anons have written pretty solid theories on platinum growing but I go off the mindset that:

>gold will continuously rise
>silver will maybe see a squeeze and may slowly rise with gold or will continue to be shorted
>platinum may crab for eternity or see major spikes or a gold-like slow climb

But when it comes to stacking it I guess what I’d do is make some kind of ratio similar to 1:100. 1:1:100 is pretty simple and platinum is half the cost of gold so entry price isn’t terrible. The only thing I fear is any money placed into platinum is money not allocated to gold. I’d hate to see gold climb, silver spike, and platinum continue to crab.

>>53945559
this link has a good technical break down of how we think the copper belt formed, but its a very odd formation and geos are still arguing over it today. https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/egle/Documents/Programs/OGMD/Catalog/04/IMDL-GGNCD.PDF?rev=a769920008a84d23b396016038d13756

https://youtu.be/OjReyRQisS8

>>53945532
Yep, exactly. Apparently this guy has a patch on his property that has the highest density of these remains. It's a great episode and I highly recommend watching it. I listened to it in my vehicles, but they kept pulling up pictures and videos from his Instagram. I'll probably rewatch the episode at home so I can see it all. It's wild.

>>53945559
Ah that makes sense. I've never dropped too much dosh on fossils so far; they've just been souvenirs. I also recommend giving that JRE episode a watch. He goes into a lot about fossil collectors and the big money that can be had there. If I get interested in expanding my fossil collection, I'll be sure to do more research first.

>>53945596
No hate for the bandicoot; the font is just bizarre. I’m sure I’ll still grab a kilo some day. My boring vacambi bar needs friends besides 10ozers.

It was. About 60 miles WSW of St. Louis, Mo.

>>53945888

I really need to start cataloguing all my fossils and minerals before I forget what they are.
That’s why I mostly pivoted to panning nowadays. Much easier to store and needs less space.
Especially at the amounts I tend to find.

ANONS I FINALLY WON A BID ON MERC DIMES AFTER LOSING THEM FOR WEEKS!
My first real meme purchase, should be here in a few days

>>53946086
based and mercpilled.

>>53946086
£19.67?

I was watching that. Once again I was distracted with my kid. Grats bong fren.

>>53945999
This guy?

>>53946181
Thank you anon, if it's any consolation I was the anon that lost the last bulk bid the other day by a mere 75p, if I see another batch next time I'll post here to remind you

>>53946249
Yeah I know. I missed that one too because I was giving my kid a bath. Spoke to you about it then too lol.

There’s a job lot of 220 for £500. I got most of my mercs in small batches of 5 or so as it’s cheaper than the £5 each people keep trying to sell them for.

>>53946284
Can you write out a short explanation of what the appeal is to this, what the relative value in relation to numismatic value or metal composition is? What are you guys up to exactly?

>>53938081
hot

>>53946325
Literally memes. Those coins are blowjobs. Except or no one in post apocalyptic England is going to know what a Mercury dime is. I could stack cheaper, think spot of £1.20 ish atm so the guy got them for around £2 each. Not terrible, and they are nice coins. Meatier than our own 3p equivalents.

Same reason I have shrek on a coin, or the anime prospector. Or even a my little pony coin. It’s silver, but more amusing.

>>53946249
MERCGANG WORLDWIDE

I stack mercs purely for the memes and my dreams of goblins knocking on my door late at night.

>>53942537
the issue is that 90% of the jobs are in geotech/environmental, which are geology adjacent at best. they hide this fact from bright eyed undergrads and push the idea that geo is only looking at cool volcanos, mapping interesting formations, and identifying minerals/faults. they do this to keep the numbers up in the geo programs (which are usually struggling) because if they were honest about job prospects everyone would quit.

>>53946461
there are loads of job opportunities for geos out there right now, but unfortunately only a tiny fraction of the people coming out of universities are ever going to get a chance at work with their degree. Mining wants the 1% of 1% lately.

>>53946325
Have some silver and another Brit meme, in exchange for the norf fc one you posted

>>53946909
there has been a major push from industry in my region to get students out and in the field more, because industry wants field geos, prospectors and geo techs who can handle remote work. Unfortunately, not many people are taking the courses up. It seems most students want to be lab only geos, and not in the bush, in the snow.

Apparently there was a second batch from my maternal grandfather's coin collection for me to go through. There's a little over $12 fv there. The German currency notes are 100,000 mark and there's 10 of them. My last two photos here got put on plebbit as someone else's stash, hence the anti-plebbit sticky note. I really like the design of the standing liberty quarters despite the fact that the dates are all worn of them.

>>53941891
>Just stack PMs and stop being retarded
NO.

>>53946974
Being out in the field doing geology work sounds amazing. Snow always sucks though. I'm pretty blessed where I'm at now working in the Iowa corn fields. Get on the right hill around here and you can see for upwards of 10 miles. Plus we can see the occasional bald eagle. An office or lab would be a cruel cage.

>>53947098
Cool marks, fren!

>>53946974
>It seems most students want to be lab only geos, and not in the bush, in the snow.
Oh well. Somehow, I did something wrong. Though fieldwork is much rarer in bushless europe to start with. But at least I can do some prospecting in my free time and I got quite a bit of field experience during my studies.

>>53947145
doing geo / prospecting work in the field here in BC usually consists of the following.
>its snowing in August....
>it hasnt stopped raining in camp for 3 weeks and we cant fly out to do sampling
>its fantastic weather out! to bad its fly out day!
>were surrounded by bugs and you cant see your own hands
>joe found a gold nugget in that random creek! too bad its outside the project boundary!
>that juicy quartz vein needs investigating! To bad Its on a cliff 40 ft out of reach.

Its fun work and great money, especially when you find yourself working for a well funded junior project, but its hard work too, its back breaking. If you cant handle hunkering down between some scrubby spruce trees during a random thunderstorm on top of a mountain, dont go into it. Camp life is what gets most people now though, 2 weeks in 2 out is easy for me, but it can drive some people mad, especially winter.

>>53947205
Anyone cares for some Barite?
>>53947207
Sounds like just my thing, but yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to.

>>53947246
nice barite! There's a whole mountain of the stuff not far from me being explored for the oil and gas industry. Have some silver / gold ore from one of the properties my partners and I are working on.

And since we were on the subject of corrals a few posts up…
Are Crinoids welcome too? I forgot what it was, maybe devonian?

Drilling mud?
Sadly, I haven't been in any precious metal mines or plants, but here's the hottest I've ever been. Neat little blast furnace.

>>53947308

Wait, maybe I have? I think this was some medieval silver mine.

>>53945029
>not loony troons
Indeed, jeez, what a mistake

>>53947308
bingo, its extremely pure barite, with a huge cap of decomposed barite covering the ore body, perfect for drill mud. About 1.5 billion pounds already identified from drilling in the 60s.

>>53947170
Sadly they were folded in thirds, hence why I held them open. The are in great condition otherwise. I tried explaining (pic related) to my mother. I think it went over her head. I'm sure it is a little hard to imagine basically a million dollars (those ten notes) not being able to buy a loaf of bread in September of 1923.

I guess I'll just be dumping some of my geo pics, until the bakery shit flinging starts.
Regarding quartz fluids:
If they don't do their gold magic, but find a good spot anyways, pic related can happen. Each of those crystals is at least fist size. Must have been quite the find for the drilling team doing that power plant tunnel!

>>53947333
cozy, like an elder scrolls ambience

>>53944985
I have a space and a dude cleared me a merc for $4 a pop, only time I ever sold any of the coins I had in there, I bought the mercs for 1.86. Gonna have to re open the coin section and just throw only mercy’s in there. There is something about that coin. No one ever bought my $40 toned franklins or my Frosty Rare Wows. Kek.

>>53947385
oh man those are stunning! we find floaters of huge milk quartz crystals often, especially around the major veins for gold in my region. Mt Burdette has some absolutely massive quartz fissure veins, up to 70m wide in places, that generated fantastic pockets for crystals to grow on.

>>53947354
>hard to imagine basically a million dollars not being able to buy a loaf of bread
We're living in cozy times. Sadly she might not have to imagine it in the coming years.

>>53947444
Checked.
Yeah, quartz pockets are amazing!
Got me some nice pieces when I was at pic related.
Ironically, they were mining limestone for food production purposes and those quartz veins really were a PITA, because, quartz being quarts they also contained all kinds of stuff that you don't want to have near food production, like Pb.

>>53947444
Panman, explain to me the demand for quartz. All I know is weird crystal women like my wife like them because they’re pretty.

>>53945888

>>53947205
That boulder is extraordinary, is it some sort of banded iron/jasper? That's worth good money as a lawn ornament if it can be moved.

>>53947492
thats pretty much it, its pretty and quartz crystal clusters are popular right now. They go through cycles, their cheaper too at the moment because of places like Avant Mining with their massive Arkansas mines. Quartz has some very important uses though, a number of high grade quartz ore bodies which aree very pure silicon dioxide, are being planned to be mined for solar panel production, as well as for use in semi conductor manufacturing. Brazil is currently the world leader in quartz mining, with material coming from their mines being the highest quality in the world.

pic related.
>>53947492
>All I know is weird crystal women like my wife like them because they’re pretty.
For those kind of crystals, that's probably good enough (+ you can ascribe all kinds of esoteric stuff to them). They really can look nice and they're not that rare, as you can see. That mine >>53947490 just threw away truckloads of them by the hour that would have fetched a shitload of money when properly cleaned, sorted and put into the right shop, but compared to their main business, that just wasn't worth it.
Guess if this mine (and many others like it) would decide to pivot to quartz, it would be the fancy crystal version of

Honk! Honk!
Those kind of trucks.
>>53947524
>That boulder is extraordinary, is it some sort of banded iron/jasper?
It's just some ordinary mudstone/shale, with different conditions during deposition. Green is oxygen free and thus Fe3+ and red is oxygenated seabed and thus Fe2+. Or the other way round, was long ago. And the polishing was just the sea.

>>53947533
>Or, maybe I should bake? Lets see who goes apeshit when I put on a geo pic, but without PMs.

If you viewed yourself as a real woman, you would tell me that you are indeed a real woman again and again and again until I fucking snap and bash your face with a shovel Verdun style at the sight of your starved skeletal structure and adam's apple.
But no, you are "Trans". Even you yourself do not view yourself as a woman, you view yourself for what you are, a man who has taken the form and identity of a woman, and this is what you celebrate yourself as.
And when I see you for what you are, a man who dresses as a woman, you get angry, you keep repeating I'M TRANS, in the hopes that I will like you for having a penis or lack thereof or that you have a ghost dick and saying you are a woman, but I am not gay and therefore do not want dick.
You live a consequential existence I want no part of. You hate and despise the male form, yet you do everything to gaslight me into thinking you are everything you once wanted.
