While I normally stack for weight, I also buy pieces that are beautiful and likely to appreciate in value in the future. To appreciate in value, they typically have to be low mintage. This coin checks all the right boxes!
Before we get too far into this post, I spun the wheel for yesterday's Freaky Friday contest. We had three entries:

I'm a sucker for ships. What could be cooler than a Viking ship?
An ultra-high relief Viking ship! This sticks up so much that it comes in a custom air tite because the coin doesn't sit flat! 😁

On the back, we have the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with the date stamped at the bottom.
Specifications
Grade: Proof
Weight: 2 Troy Oz
Purity: .999
Diameter: 38.6 mm
Mintage: 999
The coin retails for around $180-230, which isn't surprising considering the uniqueness of the coin and being limited to only 999 pieces produced for 2022. I got a deal on it and paid a little less at $169.95. If you have a chance to pick one up, this is a great showpiece.
Each month, I give away a $1 Goldback or 4 HBD. The winner gets to choose.
Note: Some countries may have prohibitively expensive shipping or delivery, which may not be feasible. I reserve the right to award the winner 4 HBD instead of a Goldback at my discretion.
