Seated Liberty Dollar (1840-73).
The Seated Liberty Dollar is a silver dollar coin issued by the United States government from 1840 to 1873. The coin is named for the obverse design which was uniform and matched the Half dime, Dime, Twenty-cent piece, Quarter, and Half dollar. Its obverse and reverse were both designed by Christian Gobrecht.
Seated Liberty Dollars were introduced in 1840 and were minted in larger quantities than the sparsely minted Gobrecht Dollar that preceded it. The dollars were used in general circulation until 1853. In 1853, the value of the silver was more than the face value of the coin. The coin was continued to be minted mainly as a trade coin to be used in the Orient. This ended in 1870 when the price of silver lowered allowing the dollars to be placed back in normal circulation.
This series boasts some spectacular rarities. Of this series, the most valuable coin is the 1870-S, with 12-15 known. However, the rarest of the series is a single known 1851-O, a coin struck under unknown and mysterious circumstances. It is not listed in the Guidebook of United States Coins, and is also unlisted in Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of US and Colonial Coins. Its value likely far exceeds that of the 1870-S, but as it has not been offered for sale publicly, nor any private sale confirmed, its value at this time is unknown.
Also quite rare are the issues of 1851, 1852, 1858 (which was a proof-only restrike in the 1860's-1870's), 1871-CC, 1872-CC, and 1873-CC, all with only 50-500 pieces of each known to exist.
The 1866 No Motto piece is correctly described as a fantasy piece, created in the 1870's along with the No Motto quarter and half dollar, for a favorite Mint customer. There are 2 known, and they are classified as patterns, and not regular issues nor restrikes.

PAMP SUISSE PLATINUM BARS. Platinum is a heavy hard silvery metallic element, a precious metal used in jewellery, coins, chemical engineering, and a catalyst used in industry and for car exhausts. Platinum is closely related to five other metals, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, osmium, and iridium. Collectively these six are known as the platinum group metals, often referred to as PGMs. They all have slightly similar atomic structures, leading to some similarity in chemical and mechanical properties, although there are, of course, many important differences.

Platinum Bars. Platinum (pronounced /ˈplætɨnəm/) is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pt and an atomic number of 78. Its name is derived from the Spanish term platina del Pinto, which is literally translated into "little silver of the Pinto River." It is in Group 10 of the periodic table of elements. A heavy, malleable, ductile, precious, gray-white transition metal, platinum is resistant to corrosion and occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits. Platinum is used in jewelry, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry, and automobile emissions control devices. Platinum bullion has the ISO currency code of XPT. As of December 23th, 2008, Platinum was worth $845.00 per troy ounce (approximately $27.17 per gram).

Silver Bullion Bars.
Silver, like other precious metals, may be used as an investment. For more than four thousand years, silver has been regarded as a form of money and store of value. However, since the end of the silver standard, silver has lost its role as legal tender in the United States. (It continued to be used in coinage until 1964, when the intrinsic value of the silver overtook the coins' face values.)
