Fully paid by online surveys!
The best thing about silver shopping is when I can use the money that I earned from filling in online surveys. I was not looking for anything in particular this time but only browsing for silver that I could fully pay with my payout from the surveys.
Panda coins in several conditions
I soon found some seller with panda coins priced differently because a few of them have some damage or spots while others were in mint condition. The seller had a very good repuation so I dared to take a gamble and order one from him. I usually stick to the few same sellers but this was one just 1,50 above spot that I could not resist buying it.
Looking to add more weight to the collection
Currently I'm also mostly focussed on adding silver weight to the collection over buying what I absolutely love or find stunning. With the recent outage my mind has gone overdrive in thinking of ways to survive when shit happens in the world and getting more silver weight soon was one of these side things.
I had to buy some baby stuff first though because you know, that baby won't wait and just arrive when it's time, lol. The silver could wait a little so I didn't buy last month and first focussed on my baby shopping list instead. I was already late with some of that stuff so it had to be done first, lol.
2011 People's republic of China - 10 Yuan Panda coin
Now I don't know about you but I find pandas quite adorable to see and browsing through these panda coins has often made me go into a rabbit hole of "ah's and aw's" when seeing the images, lol. Yet I did not buy any so far. They were often overpriced (not sure if that's just a thing over here or everywhere though) or I found something I could resonate with more instead.
This time one of the cheapest panda coins on offer went into my basket and the seller was kind enough to send me a message right away to make sure I knew that this coin had some damage and therefore was priced cheaper. I kindly thanked him for his message to make sure I read the information but sitll wanted to buy it.
To my surprise the coin arrived just 2 days later, I love it when silver arrives quickly!
Some Numista info:
Even though it's not perfect, I love it, and of course my daughter already almost confiscated it if it were up to her, lol. She's getting the silver collecting vibes early on, which I can only appreciate ;)
Until the next silver purchase! I think I have one more left that I didn't share, but I still have to update/check my freshly created sheet first.
The pictures above are my own.
