100 ounce Royal Canadian Royal Mint 999.9 fine silver bar (spot + 4%) NO SALES TAX. 912-00678

Silver bullion is so close to an all time high but it still seems undervalued right now. 1 ounce of silver is around 87 times less expensive than 1 ounce of gold. The historic relationship of gold vs. silver price is more like 40 to 1 and gold is only around 17 times more rare than silver. There have only been a few times in history that I’m aware of when the gold/silver ratio has been much higher. This tells us that gold is overpriced or that silver is underpriced. With all the chaos in the world my personal opinion is both silver and gold are under valued but much more so in the case of silver. With silver pricing as low as it has been for the last few years we’ve slowly been acquiring silver but seldom do we sell any of it. For all those people who call us asking for silver bullion here’s your chance. This 100 ounce bar of 999.9 fine silver were made by The Royal Canadian Mint. The bars measure just 18.4cm  x 8.1cm x 2.1cm but are surprisingly hefty when you hold them in you hand. They each weigh just a little under 7 pounds. RCM bars are about the most sought after brand in the business. The Royal Canadian Mint’s products are universally acknowledged as among the most pure in the world. Many silver bars are 99.9% pure; these RCM bars are 99.99% fine silver. We usually squirrel away these but at the moment it is taking up too much room. Who knows the next time we’ll sell off some of our silver hoard (don’t hold your breath). There is no sales tax on the sale of precious metals, as Revenue Canada looks upon these sales as financial transactions therefore not subject to any form of sales tax. Everyone should own some bullion as security against the effects inflation has on your cash. This is only 100 ounce bar we are selling at the moment. Estate priced at just the silver value it contains plus 4% (VISA & Mastercard purchases please add 2% to cover credit card fees). First come first serve. Contact us immediately if you’re interested.

From the less is more department, comes the Tudor Black Bay 41. It has only what you need and nothing that you don’t. No bezel timer, no chronograph, no dual time, and not even a calendar.

The heavy-duty stitched edge brown leather strap is in new condition and is secured by a locking deployment stainless steel buckle. The watch comes with an additional NATO style grey/black camouflage Tudor strap and buckle that appear unworn. Powering the Black Bay 41 is the good old ETA based calibre 2824 modified to Tudor specification. These movements have been used by many luxury brands since the 1970s and have proven to be reliable and accomplished performers for accuracy and longevity.

1.60ct. tw. green sapphire stud earrings, 2.2 grams, 18 karat gold. $1,200.00 CAD. 211-00158

Understated yet very exotic and unusual, this is a pair of well matched green sapphires. Yes, sapphires can come is colours other than blue. There is still blue component in their colour but the main hue is a lower tone green. It would have been a difficult task to locate a pair of matching green sapphires like these. The green colour can be attributed to the presence of trace amounts of iron in the gem. Exposure to different elements when the crystal is forming can cause pure colourless white sapphires to change to almost any colour of the spectrum. These earrings are bright and lively, the images can’t capture to reflective sparkle of sapphire. The previous owner likely had this pair custom made as we’ve never seen a set like them before. The olive colour is paired very well with the rich yellow colour of the premium 18 karat yellow gold double gallery settings. The settings are another clue that these aren’t an off the shelf item, as most earrings of this design are made from 14 karat gold. The basic double gallery settings are secured by surprisingly sturdy butterfly friction back that bite strongly on the 1mm posts. This pair of unusual stud earrings weigh a very comfortable 2.2 grams in total. They are in like new condition and estate priced at $1,200.00 CAD. Stock #211-00158.

2023 Tudor GMT two tone 41mm79833MN $4,400.00 CAD. 505-00577

The popularity of all things Rolex GMT continues with every model they make. Stainless steel GMT-Master II watches are still among the most difficult to find at Rolex agents. When nice used ones turn up second hand, they have asking prices close to twice retail. It’s still a crazy market for certain luxury watch brands, far more demand than supply has many used watches selling for much more than new ones. The Tudor GMT 79833MN was once selling for more than retail on the secondary market but prices have eased quite a bit for this model. Our latest Tudor GMT is in 100% original condition and was only lightly worn by a customer of Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers. It was only occasionally used in rotation with other watches from his collection. The condition is almost like new, there are only a few scratches on the deployment buckle; the case remains in new condition. It has never been polished or refinished in any way. In addition to offering the basic 3 hand timekeeping function with a calendar, the GMT has a few tricks up its sleeve. The diamond-shaped tipped thin hour hand can point to a second time zone shown in a 24-hour format displayed on the black/brown bezel. The traditional hour hand (local time) can be set independently of the 24-hour 2nd-time zone hand without disturbing the actual time. This handy feature is perfect for the world traveler when moving back and forth through different time zones. The rotating bezel can be turned to temporarily display a 3rd time zone. Daytime hours are shown in brown and nighttime hours are displayed in black on the bezel. The 41mm stainless case is water-tight to 100 meters, protected by a screw-down crown and case-back. Large hands and hour markers contribute to excellent legibility in any lighting condition courtesy of highly luminous pigment. The snowflake hands, aluminum bezel insert, and connected minute track on the dial give the Tudor GMT an attractive vintage appearance.

1985 Royal Canadian Mint fine gold 1oz. coin 9999 (spot plus 2%). 912-00751

If you are turning 40 this year or you know a special person who is, this would make an amazing gift to commemorate the milestone. Get some while you can. Gold is on a tear, who knows where it will end up. Since gold bullion like this is not terribly rare or too collectible the value is simply determined by the intrinsic gold value and not so much the condition. As a bonus this one is quite nice and comes with a protective plastic capsule (not pictured). Royal Canadian Mint gold and silver coins are world renowned for their high quality and purity. RCM was the first mint in the would to produce a coin of 99.9% purity in 1979. They did in again in 1983 producing a gold coin of even higher 99.99%. Today they even produce some special edition coins of a remarkable 99.999% purity. 999 and 9999 coins are an easy way for the average person to invest in some gold bullion. In January 1979 gold was trading for around $225.00 USD per ounce. By early 1980 it had shot up to $850.00 USD. Not a bad return if you timed the market correctly. If you bought gold a few months after the 1980 high at $500.00 USD it would have taken you around 25 years to get your money back when in 2005 it broke through the $500.00 barrier again. Now in 2025 gold is well over $3,300.00 USD. What does all this mean? There are plenty of theories out there and one thing is for sure, the world is a much more complicated place than it was the last time gold really spiked. There are billions of people around the world who have little faith or trust in paper money and the insurmountable debt it represents, but gold has been a way to store value. Inflation only makes gold more valuable while your cash becomes less valuable every day. It’s not a bad idea to hold some of this precious metal as an alternative to cash. Buying pure gold like this is tax free, there is no sales tax on precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. This 1985 coin is priced at the current price of gold plus just 2%. You can check out the current price of gold in Canadian dollars here. Holding a little gold is a great way to protect yourself against inflation when it takes more and more paper money to buy what you need. For credit card purchase please add 2% to cover the extra costs. Stock 912-00751.
