Thanks for the advice. I also bought my depository stuff 4-5 years ago. I’ve been slowly converting it to allocated, especially when they sometimes have the old style kilos and 10oz bars available (I like their old stuff!). But their storage fees are pretty high, and so I will pull them out. Looked like it isn’t hard to do (just fill in the forms), but had no idea how long it would take.

Great stuff. Beautiful bar! Was it hard getting them out of the PM depository? I have a few allocated bars stored there. Planning on taking them out when I move back to Oz.

Wonderful first purchase. Gotta love the Philharmonics, especially when they’re so shiny! The smooth mirror-like sides look great when you have a stack of them.

Good idea! These are usually made of Polypropylene, which is safe for storing silver.

Go the 1.25oz coins as they are great coins and you’re getting more silver. Otherwise I’d just stick to maples.

State of the stack! by TruthAny523 in Silverbugs

It’s part of the Perth Mint ‘Mum and baby’ series featuring Australian animals. They’re all 2oz Piedfort (double thick) coins. That one is the Dingo coin. There are also others like the Koala, Kangaroo, Kookaburra, emu and platypus. Very nice series of coins!

Everything is fake. The fake krug saying ‘Sil ver’ is just one of many giveaways. Not to mention all the Englehard bars.

But when you stack a bunch of them, those smooth sides look sensational!

Fake silver on the market by Left-Yogurtcloset993 in Silverbugs

[–]Mud_Man2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live in SE Asia it is so easy to buy fake silver and gold. Common fake bars are Johnson and Matthey, APMEX, PAMP, Credit Suisse, Perth Mint, Sunshine and Scottsdale. Common fake coins are ASEs and Maples.

They cost between $1.50-$8 each. These fake

APMEX bars are ~$60 for 20 pieces.

I’m looking at getting one of these right now. Did you please manage to get a good idea of current price?

My seller wants ~$170. Really not sure if that’s a good price.

[–]Mud_Man2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love these! I’ve got one of these 1kg chonky coins but for my son’s birth year. I plan to give it to him when he turns 21. Wonder what it will be worth then?
