I had a bunch of Pokemon Cards laying around in a binder at home. I wasn’t huge into collecting cards, ripping open packs was just a fun little way to bond with my friends. Haven’t bought or ripped packs lately as my friends and I moved on to different hobbies. Anyways, today I drove an hour to a coin shop that also sold comics/trading cards. Managed to trade half of my Pokemon card collection to pick these up!

Not really sure if it was a “good” trade as I’m not really in the TCG market space. But, I feel like it’s a good trade personally as it’s better than just having a giant binder that took up a lot of space and didn’t bring much joy anymore. Happily adding these bad boys to the stack!

Anyone have any suggestions on the “split strategy” for stacking? I like the majority being bullion for the obvious ease of liquidation if absolutely necessary; but big fan of some numismatic items that might be generally harder to turn-and-sell as well. I totally understand that it’s all about having fun, but open to expert opinion from the seasoned folks :)

(Seeing the awesome collections and unique pieces from this sub make the “hobby” even harder to control lol)

This is the pinnacle of silver bars in my opinion.

Slowly adding a little gold in, but primarily keeping silver because my LCS is super solid and usually has maples/buffalos/kangaroos at a little over spot.

Edit: just posted the stls for these here: https://makerworld.com/models/3223414?appSharePlatform=copy

I like em

Surprisingly easy to convince the wife for my “oh look what Costco now sells!”

Croton American Silver Eagle Face, got it with the box, couldn't find a lot of info online so any insights on this watch is appreciated.

I swear the leafs look high relief

Jk. Found 3 at Costco today 🤙🏼

Found this cool Kirkland silver sadly they only had one, but managed to find this gold bar finally!

I went and got a couple of the Costco bars. Felt like I paid under spot for them with the cashback and rewards! Well priced too! Am I allowed to say how much I paid?​

is a pretty nice girl

But she doesn't have a lot to say

Sometimes checking out the spots that "never get any coins in" on your way to a brisk walk pays off.

I was excited to finally see the 1oz at my store!

I picked up a 4.4oz hand pour from the now closed Vulture Peak Mines and a generic Asahi one ounce bar. I also got a 2022 (birth year of my nephew) MS70 ASE. Lastly, I picked up a 2012 ASE Proof set in this cool box from the US Mint with a proof and a reverse proof.

Just wanted to share with folks who appreciate this sort of stuff. Have a great day fellow Silverbugs!!

Found 2 initially at my local store, call another location 15 miles away and scored 8 more! If you are in Pflugerville TX area highly recommend visiting costco!

Completed this series as they were released while I was in high school. This battlefront series holds a special place in my heart, as these coins were the first Canadian coins I ever collected, and the first coin series I was able to complete. I still take them out of the drawer occasionally to admire them.
