Just a few older silver bars from "old west" refiners. A&W stands for Alexander Westerfall (bars on the left. largest is at top 20.41 ounces 999 fine) and the smaller bars on the right (top bar weighs 10.23 ounces) are from a very rare refiner named Consolidated Mines & Metals. I have an extensive "old pour" collection of 300 or so, with bars that have no even weight such as 5 ounces or 10 ounces. All of the weights have a decimal point in the final weight tally. Such as 20.41 & 10.23 oz. This is just one of my many addictions in the precious metal realm. I listed about 80 different bars on eBay from some that did not mean that much to me and as soon as I think, the 4th one sold, I said to myself, I don't want to get rid of these. Silver is not going down. So... I went and de-listed all but about a dozen and priced them in the "stratosphere" and damn if they aren't still selling.
thanks for the information you sent me, i think i'm gonna take a look a buying me some silver, but hopefully not in the "stratosphere"

A very wise move Andy. Good luck to you on that venture. I've never been any more surer, that what you are contemplating, is a move in the wisest degree. I think in ten years, you'll be very glad you bought today, tomorrow & the next day. If you want some contacts drop me an email and I'll give ya a couple more tips.
Silver is the new gold! As a silver artist, I'm feeling the intense pain of replacing my sold work right now and buying more supplies, but you are one lucky guy to have trusted your gut about silver. It's the new currency...
Silver is hot right now and a good time to cash in if you have been buying the last 10 to 20 years, in my opinion. I traded stocks for a long time and the hardest thing to do was to sell a stock that kept going up and up and up. I think if inflation becomes under control I think Gold and Silver will drop. The time to buy gold, silver, stocks, bonds is when no one wants them. Bahamaboy, I think you have done very well buying gold and silver during the good times (when stocks were hot).
