Thanks frogbro, $31 shipped so not a steal but I really like these bigbois, gotta catch 'em all!

Finally came across a good eBay auction with 3 different huge copperchad coins that are all needed for my collection of bigbois, glad i was patient because it is precisely what i wanted and looks like it'll go cheap too.

>What are those mini silver boulder with strange runes, scrapbro? I kinda want them.

Those are Siamese (Thailand) silver Baht "Bullet coins". The bigboi at the top is the most bizarre "coin" i've ever seen, very strange alien-like shape, from the 1400s I believe. It's a "Tamlung" worth 4 Baht and weighing over 61 grams. The 2 small ones are ~3.7g Salung or 1/4 Bahts and 3 others are ~15.5g Bahts. They were made into the mid-1800s and iirc circulated as legal tender until 1904 or so. They're very interesting coins and superior fondlers, rolling the dense nuggets around in one's hand feels awesome. Beware of chinese fakes but legit ones are pretty cheap, you should be able to find one for under $30 if you look around.

Thanks for the rundown King I appreciate the education and have added a set to my want-list, I luv me some quality coppers.

>I kinda doubt that. I've been stacking since then also and even had a lot of lucky buys when it was extremely low, but with premiums and just averaging (it has usually been well over 15/oz since then)

I believe it, I bought a bunch of kilo bars at $14.78/ozt with premium and free shipping in march 2020 and for patient disciplined stackers accumulating in the years prior it would have been easy to maintain an average around $15/oz.

>Yup. It's crazy the chinks are now making fake junk silver florins from the 30s and 40s. It's over.

This statement is 100% factual but smells like sarcasm, you do know that the chinks counterfeit common "junk" silver coins right? 50% UK silver, 40% US halves, and similarly debased European silver coins are all faked by the eternal chinksect. 25% under melt value for a unique score is perfectly believable but being a set price on a website seems sus and in line with the shady websites selling fake ASEs for around $20 each. I've gotten tons of stuff below melt but always as single unique purchases, a storefront with such stuff as standard inventory is too-good-to-be-true territory.

Based copperchad, I appreciate you sharing the calculations. It's interesting how much better the 2p yields are, too bad you can't stack 56 gram 1797 2p cartwheels on the cheap anymore it would be sweet to have a chest full of those bigbois.

>How do i get to clean old boomers' houses and keep the stuff i find? This is literally my dream job.

Start your own or go to work for house cleanout or "got junk" trash removal company? My brother's girlfriend works under her dad who is a maintenance/property manager for an apartment rental company with something like 1,200 units, with so many to manage they frequently have to empty out apartments where the renter stopped paying rent and disappeared, went to prison or died and they get to keep whatever they want. Bro's girlfriend has found several nice handguns, gold jewelry and silver coins, valuable collectibles, cash, quality gadgets, appliances and electronics and has furnished her place with the best furniture gleaned from those cleanouts. This is all in less than 6 months working for the company, seems pretty fuckin' legit.

I've been friends with the guy since 2005 and from the start exposed him to numismatics, antiques and knowledge of PMs, I'm sure it helped but he had to figure it out on his own. Don't lose hope for your friends and family, circumstance may eventually make things click for them. All you can do is help arm them with some core knowledge and be there with guidance if they come around to it.

I plan to hoard as much as I can get my hands on maintaining an average under $10/ozt asw, same as last year. I also want to expand my beefy copper/bronze coin collection, I've been learning about the huge Asian cash coins and while fakes are everywhere I should be able to find some genuine hockey-puck size monsters to fondle.

Primo bigboi coppers. Most base metal coins were purely fiat tokens but the few that were basically "poor man's bullion" are really cool. Would love to get an example of the Swedish copper riksdaler plate money someday.

Anyone get any cool coppers in lately?
