New1954 Pillar of the Community Canada 1027 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 2:15 pm Can anyone help me with these silver skulls. Why are some priced so low (like the 3Dbars) and the one ounce coin so expensive? I am very interested but need some advice. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12322 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 2:36 pm Simple matter of generic bullion vs. non-circulating legal tender coin produced by private mint for a micro nation in Pacific Ocean. Coins will always have a premium over bullion (even when they don't merit it!). Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

SelectCoinCanada Valued Member Canada 414 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 2:44 pm The man that makes these is the same man behind the Beaver Bullion and Masterson poured bars. I would say it's more of a hobby for him because I know there isn't much money in it for him or the dealer at those prices. From what I understand these particular skulls are made from the same molds used by the other big national bullion companies. I won't disclose much more but I like his work. You'll find his bars, rounds, and other shaped bullion pieces in many coin shops across the country, Hub City coins and London Coin Centre just a to name a couple. Report this Post to the Staff
New1954 Pillar of the Community Canada 1027 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 3:04 pm Are you saying that the hand poured 3D bars are better to get (less expensive) or the actual skull coin which is triple The price? @SelectCoinCanada You have great knowledge of these. Are the bars the way to go? Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 5:29 pm @New1954, what is "better" is really a matter of esthetics. I have seen this guy selling his product at coin shows. I personally prefer the flat thinner stuff for storage purposes, but it is undeniably quite popular, and I admit that there is a certain attraction for the poured bars. Report this Post to the Staff
justsilver Pillar of the Community Canada 640 Posts	Posted 09/30/2016 7:41 pm @New1954 Glad that you are also interested in bullion. lol. SKULL - HAND POURED - 1 oz Pure Silver 3D Bar - TCS This is The Coin Shoppe ( TCS ) 's own brand bullion bar. buy with spot + premium and mostly sell with spot only. SKULL NO 1 - SMARTMINTING - 2016 1 oz Pure Silver Coin - Palau - Coin Invest Trust This is actually ( NCLT ) $5 coin, minted by CIT ( famous for minting Mongolian Silver Coin ), buy and sell not by bullion spot price. No comparison between bullion round to numismatic silver coin. Edited by justsilver 09/30/2016 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
