If you can't get them in the USA then any of the big UK bullion suppliers
will make them, for a price...

There's the rub.

I figure that the jointing and moderate waste from falloff it will cost an
extra 400 USD for me to joint together the 30 oz of silver.

That's 200 GBP.

By the time you add up custom rolling, paperwork, duty and shipping, it
might break even


Well I'm a big fan of Cookson's Precious Metals, they're not cheap but
they'll do just about anything you ask. I have to say that I'm also a big
fan of walking around that part of Birmingham and seeing what I can get done
in the multitude of small specialist jewellery/silversmithing workshops that
throng the Jewellery Quarter there.

But I always spend far too much money in the tool suppliers...

My favourite memory of Cookson's is going into the front counter there and
seeing a chap pick up a lump of 22 carat gold that was about an inch square
and two feet long, swing it up onto his shoulder, it was obviously a heavy
lump, and walk out and off up the street...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
