WCIF silver 元寶 Ingots

My son collects silver bullion from places he travels. Today we found a 30g decorative piece for $5800, which is about 5x the spot price for plain silver. Where in Taichung or Taipei can I get a better price?
(Does anyone else cringe while writing Wade-Giles or does it pass with time?)

NEVERMIND. I found Truney’s Precious Metals in Taichung

What are you, a fuckin pirate??

Awesome

I don’t know, but that a interesting and expensive hobby to have for a kid. So does all of his collection have some sort of way to distinctly differ from each country?

He mostly has silver coins. Unique mints are easy to find everywhere. The 元寶 are special.

Looks like Truney’s also has a Taipei location at:

台北市大同區市民大道一段209號10F

oh shit. thanks for reminding me. I gotta get some Australian ones for his 20th birthday coming up.

did you only go to the Taichung location?

also, does anyone know any good places to buy junk silver, that is US coins from 1964 and prior? Thanks!

honestly, that was 2 years ago and I don’t remember where I was.

you can’t remember if it was Taichung or Taipei?

Two years are long. I couldn’t remember which country it were.
