Woohoo 🙌🎉🙌🎉🎉🎅
My secret snail silvergoldstackers Santa is finally here!
In you case you are unaware, the silvergoldstackers community organizes each year a secret Santa event amongst its members. What that means, is those who participate get to send a gift to another member, and they also receive one as well. There are no rules, other than that the minimum gift is 1 oz of silver! So pretty much a secret Santa but with silver
Secret Santa is a Western Christmas or Saint Nicholas tradition in which members of a group are randomly assigned a person to whom they give a gift. The identity of the gift-giver remains a secret. source
Postal services all over the world seem to be ass this year so for many the secret Santa came a bit late. And one of those peeps was me!
But finally it's here and it looks like my Santa was super generous. And smart, since he declared my treasures as "metal toys" on the customs. And I am glad he did so and as a result I paid zero taxes 😂
So let's see the "toys" I got, lmao.
First we have a real bad ass coin !
The first coin is from Pinehurst Coins, from the Legendary Warrior series. This one features the mythic Greek hero Achilles who I think needs no introduction from me. I am sure you have at least heard about him from the numerous Hollywood etc productions featuring...Hopefully not the shitty one from Netflix, lmao.
Tldr, he was a hero of the Trojan War and one of greatest of all the Greek warriors. A central character in Homer's Iliad, he was the son of the Nereid Thetis and Peleus, king of Phthia and famous Argonaut. A symbol of courage, determination yada yada
Here's a link with more info and prices on this round
Ok, let's move on the next beauty I got!
A beautiful, super shiny American Silver Eagle. My first one and a mighty fine addition to my Morgans and peace dollars I collect.
Fyi, this is the official silver bullion coin of the United States, first released by the United States Mint on November 24, 1986. It weighs 1 oz, 0.999 purity and a denomination of 1 USD. Wikipedia has a great page on them if you want to learn more!
Let's now see some more shots I took:
Usually I take my coins out of their capsule to remove the glare and take better shots. Sorry, but no, not this time!
They just looked so shiny and perfect, I didn't want to get my dirty ass fingerprints on them, lmao!
So that's two more sexy ozes for the stack! The year has started really well for my stack and I expect a lot more silver in the coming days ago stay tuned friends!
Thank you my super secret Santa for the amazing... metal toys 😂
And of course a big thank you goes to for organizing and taking care of this annual #silvergoldstackers event. Can't wait for the one next year 🎉
Stack on!
