Gothic Styled Silver Stacker

My stack actually began with my father handing down to me a couple of pounds of coins that had originally come from my great-g-grandfather. This stash held a variety of coins from all over the commonwealth before during and after WW2 And for official reasons was not allowed to join the Armed forces in the World war. Instead he operated offered his services as a railway rest stop and Billeting for Service men travelling back and forth during the war. He prepared meals, bunking space, and even laundry service for those who need it. He received in voluntary payment and tips many of these coins from servicemen and people as they passed through his town station. The bulk of the coin was Canadian but sprinkled in were coins from Newfoundland, India, England, Europe, even Hong Kong. Among these coins was a 5oz Johnson Mathey Bar my Father included from back in the early eighties as a souvenir of windfall when silver hit almost $60/oz Canadian and purchased a nice car with it’s proceeds. This was before my time and it turns out he was a bit of a collector.

When I was little more than a Tomboyish toddler one of my favorite memories is playing Pirate with the kids next door. The dolls and teddy bears were of course part of the crew, with a large cardboard box made into a grand sailing ship, and the reward at the end of the day of imaginary pillaging was the gold foiled Chocolate coins. One day my Father let us play with that stash of coins as booty and he said a lot of them where silver and that money used to be Silver!

Then I was an adult, the coins came into my possession after my Father passed away unexpectedly. There was a time I was in need of cash and I came pretty close to selling them for the bullion value just to pay my bills. I spread them out on the table and remember all the fun times playing with them. They bought back sentimental teaching moments. How hard Great gramps worked very hard to save them. And realizing how valuable they really were. I honestly believe my Father intended for me to pass them on to future family generations. He even added more surprise silver coins in those old cardboard flips than I remembered. Finishing my Nurses diploma I got quick employment and worked long and extra hours as the Bills that finally faded away, saving for a home for my kids, contributing into a pension.

It wasn’t until just more than three years ago I still kept finding that my Income bought less and less. I’m a frugal creature and living on a strict budget allowing myself few frills. Taxes also began to taking increasingly bigger bites out of my income quoting figures often above the official rate of inflation. My voluntary Pension was being eaten up not just by fees but inflation too.

Then there was the day I was “Red Pilled” that my dollars are not a real representation of value and really a terrible store of wealth. I recalled one of the stories of Great great-grandfather back in the Old Country how his neighbours lost their savings when the local banks went bankrupt while he himself held a physical hoard of Silver coin. I came to realize I have the Stackers gene.

I have a modest YouTube Channel of the same Name, Kerris L Ravenhill. I don’t know Mintage numbers by heart, I can’t claim to understand grading, and I don’t have the time and resources to flip coins in the retail market. But I buy what I like and a be little bit of a Gothic drama queen about it.

Aye, but be warned as me language digress to 18th century spake, egress with caution with sword and flintlock at the ready and not be faint of heart cause yea be treading in dangerous waters….. but there, there be where the adventure and freedom be at it’s greatest. Arrrh!

A bit of the Back Story.....

Rumored to be hundreds of years old her obscure origin trace to Eastern European nobility, her family betrayed and unjustly executed, she was made a slave in her early teens, bought and raised in Italy under the name of Auditore, learned the skills of an Assassin, roamed Asia Minor with an Army for hire, migrated eastward to learn the Martial arts under the names of Hon Shu, Wing Gong, and Mintauru. In her quest for personal justice as she made pact with the denizens of Darkness in exchange for the power she desired, but at a steep price, this also has become a quest for revenge upon the descendants of those that betrayed her family. However, the Heavens laid their claim on her as the Angelic Silver Diva revealed to her the true path, to temper her lust for revenge but only in the terms of Light. She was given a purpose, a mission and it was revealed that her suffering was not ignored and not in vain but it was a crucible to prepare her to be what she was meant to be…. A Harbinger of Wrath … to remind that evil does not necessarily have free reign but awaits judgment in the age to come.
She had other aliases; The Red Dragon, Tigress Makkara, Lady Tianna Mintauru, Lady Tracy McMillan. But known more as The Bloody Raven.

Her Mission: Acquire and Neutralize Cursed Silver artifacts before the “The Powers That Be” can take possession of them for their own nefarious worldwide plans of domination.

I’d leave the Booty Box in plain view. It’s guaranteed to turn any dreary conversation from current events to what I do on my spare time. First opening my Booty itself turns curiosity into an engaging topic as my guests get to handle genuine Silver. Hand poured Jolly Roger rounds, Skulls, skull bars, crosses, silver Pillars, and various poured Silver. The Pirate theme often invokes childhood play memories and the same time they realize that what they hold in their hand is a real treasure. As I lay out the pieces onto the map my videos tell a story of each Pourer I visit. My Youtube channel videos does adds an element of flare and surprise to the presentation. What a way to teach young future Stackers about Precious metals and what money really is and what is not. I get to answer questions on why Silver is money, truths about our economic system, Inflation, the role of Precious Metals and so on. The parent(s) are sure to participate asking the questions as they can begin to see the looming systemic financial problems that they could no longer deny. The kids get a thrill, And if they or their parents are interested enough I will offer the child a little 5g or 10g Jolly Roger Piece, with the parent’s permission of course.

“Poured Pirate Silver is FUN Silver!” And yes the Katana swords are real and lethal weapons.
