I'm at the Phoenix airport waiting to head back to Oregon so I thought I'd share this bar I picked up at the lcs near my folks house.
The place is called Precious Elements Jewelry & Coin and it's a great shop!
As the name says, they do deal in jewelry, but they only have the good stuff, this is not a junk jewelry shop.
As far as coins and bullion go, they have a decent selection. I was there yesterday looking through the box of 1oz bars and the owner asked me if I found what I was looking for. I told him I was looking for a bar produced by the Continental Coin & Jewelry Co. similar to the trade unit round I found and posted the other day.
He was not sure but he said, "Hold on I have more bars in the back!"
He shows up a minute later with three more boxes of bars 😂🎉
I looked through them all, to no avail.
I did, however, find one of these beauties and, obviously, bought it.
The premiums on these have gone through the roof in the last 5 years but considering he was selling most his 1oz silver at 10% over spot (about $34/oz yesterday) I thought the $40 price on this bar was good.
I have a three more of these at home, two which I bought at this very store 5 years ago, and I'll be happy to stack this one up with those when I get home today.
Have a good Sunday :)
