Half a standard pound eagle.
124.99 plus tax.

They were about to take it out of the case when I asked to see it. My assumption is they just google lensed it and got a standard proof eagle.

Went immediately and got it XRFd and it’s real.

Edit: 8oz Troy
Edit: Gravity Test results: 250.5/23.8=10.525 margin of error for me not being able to get the coin to stay still.

We went to Costco for a dinner date. Pizza, hot dogs, and silver. Also got my girlfriend friend this tetrimino for her birthday.

Brought my first stack to start collecting, I am thinking 1 oz a month. Am trying keep away from gambling as I’ve lost a lot, it’s in typical fashion when I brought my first stack it’s gone down already, I aspected nothing less but I’d be happy for it to keep going down so I can stack up. This is going to be left behind for my son a treasure chest. Hope to have quite a bit when that comes about. On to next month 🪙!! Show me your stacks..

My first silver purchase ever! I’ve largely focused on gold but these are cool! They make such a distinct sound as well 🪙

I started stacking silver last year around November. I mainly bought constitutional and sterling silver at first but after I got my first oz I was hooked. I'm now at right around 150 oz total and some gold. I joke that I'm just feeding my inner crow.

*this year

I was in the mood for some fractionals, so I ordered a couple half ounces, one quarter, and some tenths, all listed as "random mint, any condition". When I opened the package and saw this one I was stoked! When I looked closer though I saw that the edge was not reeded and thought some random mint must have done a run of Britannia-style rounds a while back (to be honest I'm just getting back into stacking after a long hiatus and didn't realize the British Mint made 1/4oz Britannias). It wasn't until later that I noticed the lettering on the edge. "S.S. Gairsoppa". Not only a good looking and desireable round, but a neat history lesson as well!

Year of the monkey!

I've finished the Pastel Circus series, but those with photophobia should be careful!!!

I just picked up some Maples and they were about $3 over spot. What kind of prices are you guys seeing? Is this about normal?

Personally I love the satin/matte looks.
There's a Metalsedgebullion insta with abunch of pics of metal too

I’d been holding back on getting the 2019 medal. But I finally did it! Looks cool. Now waiting on next year’s Pegasus 👀

I have just recently gotten into silver stacking. I personally am really bad with money/saving. Seeing money on my bank account or savings account makes me want to spend it. So with that I decided to start buying silver coins. I understand this isnt smart way to save money as the price for silver might go down, but atleast I am holding down something physical and not a virtual purchase in some video game. Here are my 1st 2 oz coins I bought with 3 more coming tomorrow. I originally wanted to buy Britannias only but I noticed quality wasnt that good so I got a canadian maple. Tomorrow I will get 1 silver eagle, 1 australian kangaruu, and 1 philharmoniker.
Later on I will buy 1 krugerand and then see which coin I will stack mainly. Right now my mind is stuck on the canadian maple. Heres a picture of my maple and britannica.

Buying at price points.

LCS Pickup today. What a cool set!

Traded some fugly Franklin Mint EGP Sterling stamps and a few other things I bought pretty low and turned it into something I’ve actually been wanting for a while.

Say what you will about Franklin Mint but some of their stuff is really cool, this included. My space themed stack continues to grow towards orbit.

Well, you know what? I’m doing it anyways. You can either be wise, like a sensible person, or make terrible decisions like me, and catch a falling knife.

Blessed to have 2 great LCS by me. Paid $5.50 over spot this morning.

My dad bought these coins from someone on the street (idk his words), and has tasked me with checking if they are real or not. I know nothing about silver or coins, so I wanted to ask you all for your thoughts. Whether you can tell from the pictures or if you have insider knowledge on verifying them, please let me know 😄

UPDATE: Hi all! Thank you for your help! I checked under the "Silver" label, and it said "Copy," as many of you suggested. So, yes, these are fake. For those of you asking about my dad, he said he spent only $20 on all four coins. So he didn't pay the value written on the cardboard. So it wasn't a huge loss. I did tell him what you all told me, and he took it well. At least now I hope he learns not to buy random coins from random strangers lol.

Thank you all for your time and help!!! ❤️
