What's the LARGEST piece of silver you own?

What's the LARGEST single piece of silver you own? How about copper? Other metals?
SILVER: I have a 6-oz Market Harmony pyramid.
COPPER: a 1-pound bar I just got from Provident earlier this month.
GOLD: the 2003 quarter ounce I bought for my eldest daughter.
Can't remember anything else...

What about you?

Silver: 10 ounce bar (JM I think). I'm sure someone has a 100 oz bar, but the question is will they admit it.
Copper: 1 ounce coin copper eagle
Gold: 1/4 ounce AGE. I can't afford anything larger.
Nickel: .8 ounce Canadian dollar
Platinum: n/a
Rhodium: n/a

Gold- 1 ounce Maple leaf. This was passed down to me from my grandfather; I can't afford to buy gold.
Copper... I have a couple Eisenhower dollars. If clad coins don't count, I think it would be an Australian 2 pence coin the size of a nickel.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

I figured this would come up eventually, for obvious reasons. That's kinda why I chose to use "silver" in the thread subject line. Maybe we shouldn't do gold or other stuff on the high end... I just thought it would be fun to brag on this neat slab of nickel or chunk of copper or perhaps show off a silver brick. Maybe even that's too much. But of course, everyone is free to refrain from posting ... Or lie, which is much funnier :)

I have a kilo .999 copper bar.

Offers?
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I am sorry to hear of your unfortunate calamity. I can only hope that no one was injured. Similar occurances seem to have happened to other RC members. :roll: Boats, precious metals and RC members just don't seem to mix. Let this be a reminder to all of us to get vessels that are more sea-worthy! :thumbup:

I am going to show this to my wife and use it as rationalization..err...err justification for a bigger boat :lol:

So um, which lake was it? Just out of curiousity and to, um, warn other Realcent
members what lakes are too dangerous to go ice fishing on...

..safety first and all that you know.

Not that I own a submarine or have any plans to look around the bottom of that
lake or anything... ^_-

No wonder I'm a fan of subs! :D

Some day when I make some real money I am going to get a old school poured 100 oz. bar. 8-) :shh:
