The annual traditional #silvergoldstackers Christmas Wish list challenge is in progress! Start anytime, preferably just before Christmas. Novice or veteran Stacker, this is the time to share those hard to acquire, to find or to afford silver gems you desire most to the Hive world. Hoping for that very special Santa, who scored big on a dubious crypto coin, so in an act of sheer gratefulness and generosity sends it to you as your Secret Santa gift.
Who am I kidding. 😅

Another more realistically priced option, that is if you live in the USA, is the Community Silver round from a long running reddit precious metals community, r/Silverbugs.

As you can see, this community currently boasts an impressive membership in excess of 135,000, how many are still active out of that perhaps the community admin knows.
Me, I sneak in on occasion to take in and marvel at the shiny wares in the event I get some spare time, just admiring and commenting.
As for my reddit presence, I do have a footprint there since the summer of 2014 but that was when I was just convinced that Crypto currencies were the real deal and began accumulating from BTC, LTC, and Dogecoin faucets. And I found plenty of support on reddit for them.
It wasn't until about 2018 when I joined the Silverbugs reddit community, keeping a low profile and only in a surreptitious way. I've already got my hands full with the Youtube stacking community and being brand new into Steem Hive community!
It was 2014 when the Silverbug Island rounds were just an idea, an idea that I should have taken advantage of in the subsequent years since. So I now find myself back tracking on this special silver round. Yeah, and it has the pirate ship on it.
"Hey Santa, if you are reading this, I would prefer the 2015 Silverbug Island round but any year round will do just as good, pretty please?" 🎅 "I'll be a good girl ...most of the time." 🤦♀
Silverbug Island 1 oz.Silver round.
I believe the average mintage average 20,000 rounds for each year, there are antiqued and proof-like variants but I cannot confirm their quantities at this time or where to find that data. Regardless, each year has been completely sold out! And are only available on the secondary market at hefty premiums often in excess of 100% plus nosebleed shipping (because I live in Canada).
The Silverbug Island Silver round is my Day 4 item of my 12 Days of Christmas.
