How about a 10 kilo Silver coin?

They're using a Javascript trick that prevents right click / save as. Just use a screen-grabber, grab the whole screen and then crop out the part of it you want. Hmmm... Firefox let me save the image just fine. Too bad about the rim ding (at about 7 o'clock) :-) http://www.pandaamerica.com/upd_imag...6dog10kilo.jpg -- Jim Seymour |

I would ask for a damage discount. ;-)

How about a 10 kilo Silver coin?
Its 138,000 Yen which translates to a little less than $1200. Which
makes sense given the quality and the price of similar items. proud-collector.com wrote: I hope I'm not being rude asking how much that awesome coin costs, but if I'm not mistaken the site has a figure of 138,000 (144,000). Is that Yen? How much did it cost in USD? Sorry if that is a rude question. ------- http://www.proud-collector.com/ Michael wrote: Interesting. I purchased a 1-Kilo China Myth Animal coin from Franklin Mint Japan www.franklinmint.jp (http://www.franklinmint.jp/tmp_cart/detail.php?id=551) This was designed and developed by Franklin Mint Japan but minted by Perth Mint. The quality is excellent. Often I have noticed though...the larger the coin the worse the sculpting looks. Harv wrote: Someone had a thread going here about big coins. This afternoon I visited Panda America (one of the biggest bullion / coin dealers in the country who is a local drive away from me).. to buy a 2006 Buffalo. In order to avoid the Calif. state sales tax, (no tax on any single purchase over $1000.00 at a retail store).. I bought another coin, a 1/2 oz. AGE, so the total came to $1001.00, saving me $82.50 in sales tax. Anyway, as I'm standing in their showroom looking around and grabbing literature while the guy goes back in the heavy security room to get the coins, I spied this behemoth in the showcase: http://www.amigazone.com/images/june/10kilo.jpg It's a Chinese something or other. I couldn't see the reverse because it was in a locked display case. You can get an inkling of its size by the coins you can almost see to its left which are Dollar-sized 1 oz. Silver rounds. The thing is about the size of a salad plate and probably half an inch thick. Or more. Anyway, 10 kilos = 22 lbs of .999 Silver so about $4500.00 I think. I didn't ask. Makes my huge Spanish Dali coin look tiny in comparison. The 2006 Buffalo Uncs. come in a very interesting sealed "flip" sort of affair with the Mint's name and official seal in blue on the outside, and the coin itself is in a sort of round soft sealed capsule inside the flip so it can't slide around or fall out. I've never seen any kind of US Mint packaging like this before. Gold was down to $615.00 today so I thought it'd be a good opportunity to grab one. Of course, this means Gold will drop since I finally bought one, but by doing it at a local dealer and not on eBay, or a mail order dealer I saved the angst of squirming waiting for delivery, paying for freight and insurance, and all the other drama that comes with those kinds of purchases. And by getting my total over-the-counter purchase to exactly $1001.00 I saved a wad on tax I didn't have to pay. Harv |

Buy one, then you can take as many pictures as you want. ;-) Saving the image as a file works fine for me though. Does this direct link work? http://www.pandaamerica.com/upd_imag...6dog10kilo.jpg Christian Thanks man, worked beautifully. Now if only I could afford one. : ) -beaumon |
