Been a while, was pulled into logging in here because someone sent me a PM. blaugh
Anyways, wanted to make a post, and show off at the same time.
I recently got into stacking bullion, only have one piece of Gold, because gold is damm expensive exclaim
Currently as I'm typing this kitco is saying that the market spot price for Gold is $1319.10 USD per troy ounce.
Spot Price for Silver is currently $21.51 USD per troy ounce at the time of this post.

My only piece of Gold Bullion, this originally this belonged to my mother, she gave it to me approx. 8 to 9 years ago. (Around 2004-2005.)
Mostly likely it was 2005, when I turned 18.
I believe this bar is older than I am.

I picked up 2 of these in Sept 2012 directly from the RCM website at mint.ca
In 2011, the Royal Canadian Mint started the '$20 for $20 Series,' where for $20 you could get a 7.96g .9999 Fine Silver Coin with a face value of $20.
This is the 5th design in the series.
7.96g is equal to approx. 1/4 Troy Ounce or if you want the precise weight 7.96g = 0.25591995 Troy Ounces.

I had originally wanted the 2014 coin, but the dealer I went to was only taking pre-orders at that time, so we changed to the 2013 coin.
But in their bullion inventory the staff couldn't find a 2013, so after a few mins, I decided to on the 2010 coin they did find.
I came in for a Silver Eagle, so I'm damm well leaving with a Silver Eagle!
Acquired 28 January 2014.
