Another shipment of goods just came in the mail... this is actually my first acquired "poured" silver. I'm already a fan of them because each piece is unique due to the process used in making them. These are from Monarch Precious Metals - the "Old World Egyptian God Anubis Jackal" piece:
The description from Monarch PM states the following:
"These are new bars which were purposely made to look like ancient stone relics chipped off the side of a tomb. No two bars are exactly alike as they have been purposely hand struck off center and given an application of "antique" patina along with an 'anti-polish' to add to the look of old world charm."
I've always been fascinated with ancient civilizations, and especially the ancient Egyptians and the pyramids. I actually have around 20 ounces of silver (all of them are "rounds" except for these new poured pieces) that have Egyptian Hieroglyphics or are otherwise ancient Egyptian-themed.

This is what the other side looks like. From the picture you can tell this is not the same piece - it's much more square and has its own distinct "character" to it:
The two pieces side-by-side:
And the reverse side:
I always try to pick up multiples when I'm buying a new round/bar, that way if I do need to trade/sell any, I can keep at least one for myself :) But I don't plan on selling anytime soon. I will be stacking for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for checking them out - as always, any insights, questions or comments would be welcomed! Thank you to the steemsilvergold community and others who share our fondness for precious metals and investing. Until next time..
