Hi all.
I took a bunch of old sterling coins to my local shop to liquidate and replace with bullion.
I was told he wont buy any old Canadian sets until the big refineries open up to sterling again.
So, I spied a nice old RCM bar and bought it, and took my sterling coins home.

I don't know the date, but Im guessing 1980's.


Another option is to take this to my local assay office. They have a tiny refinery and told me a while back, they could pour me a brick of 9999 silver from scrap sterling. But I'll probably just chuck it back in the safe amd forget about it for now.
Anyways, the local shops are being over run by people selling silver. And I was told people call and ask if he has gold every morning, and if he gets any gold in, it's all gone by the end of the day.

Nice silver and beer, great combo. I didn't know refineries weren't taking sterling right now, I guess too much demand on the pure stuff right now

Yeah, the demand for "delivery bars" is so high from China and Saudis that it's cheaper to not have to refine, but just melt 999 into 1000 ozt comex bars.
The refining industry is rough right now. The refiner I use is quoting up to a 4 month wait due to the backlog. 😬

Interesting that the refiners are not taking sterling at the moment!🤔
If we end up swinging by our local Coin shop sometime, I’ll ask if it’s the same down here…..
Our local Costco is selling Gold and it sells out just as quick!😇
Apparently demand for big delivery bars is so high it's cheaper to only do 999 silver.
Who would’ve saw that coming my friend?
I guess it’s better to stack .999 just in case you need a quick trade for Fiat!🤔😇☺️
That's what Ive learned lately! I have always been a "junk silver" stacker.
Well, that’s what everyone always said in the past….
Keep a supply of “junk” silver, in case you need to spend it………
I think I’ll stick to generic rounds!👍😇
A nice little vintage bar score @fat-elvis
My trips to the local Coin Shop are hardly quick.

My shop is small, and mostly collector coins. His bullion section is 3 small boxes. Pretty quick to shop!

I’ve had one of those in my sights for quite awhile now. They are hard to find here in the states.
This is the first Ive found locally. I did pay a bit of a premium, a little over 10%, but its fine.
