Looking back at my first silver purchases
I shared some stuff about my first silver purchase in a blog earlier this week, you can read it here and I'm now taking the opportunity to create a document with a closer look at when I bought something, for what price and how much the value (hopefully) went up since.
Ideally, I should have done this at the time of purchase but back then I was 100% focused on budgeting ourselves back to Spain, paying off all debt we had before the savings of this emigration could be accumulated and I didn't need an extra spreadsheet to keep track of this. On top of that, I just had 2 coins to show and didn't see the need to do so yet. Now the time has come to gather the data.
Australian Myths & Legends dragon
Back in 2022 January, I purchased the Hungarian coin shared in the post a few days ago, but it was in May when this coin arrived to me, just weeks before our emigration to Spain. I remember being relieved that it didn't arrive late and was in time to travel back to Spain with us.
The 2021 Australian myths and legends silver coin with a dragon caught my eye quite fast and I started hunting for the best deal, I believe that I paid 35 euros plus shipment for it.
Isn't it pretty? I really love it. Sadly the original capsule broke when it fell and then I only had a bigger capsule as you can see. It already has a bit of discolouration but I still love it. It was the second coin but actually the first one that I REALLY loved. Maybe because this one is indeed 0.999 silver and not sterling like my first. I felt in awe opening this package at the time and really proud to own this one.
I decided it was finally time to take a picture of all my silver together and this is the result:
Still quite small but getting somewhere already..
Value today
First, I checked if I added the coin to my numista account, which was the case. I checked the value shown there:
Not bad, 47 euros!! But I was also curious to see other asking prices to compare. I did a google search to check for more data and found these to compare:
Out of stock but the last price was €45,90 including tax.
There's one in stock here for $56.99:
Awaiting stock but the last price close to 58 euros:
And upon my search I found many more with prices around 50 euros or even up. No clue if they sell easy of course, so in the end time will tell if I were to sell this one ever if I'd get a good price for it. Personally, I can't see myself parting with it as I love it too much...
Conclusion
I didn't realise that taking a picture of all silver owned would make me feel so good lol, we both enjoyed checking each of the coins separately and I'm excited to add more silver really soon. This year will definitely be the year that our collection grows nicely because buys will be done monthly. I can't wait to see the collection in a few years from now..
Have a good Sunday ahead..
That dragon is gorgeous 😍
I got mine a while back and I do cherrish my dragon silver.

I don’t think your stack is that small and you sure done awsome job with your choices. Love them all.
Keep stacking and you will soon have more than you know 🥰
Thank you for sharing and you totally woke my Stackitis again.. Lol
Much love 🤗💋❤️🤗
Ah thanks dear, and yes I agree because I saw many great silver items in your posts in the past as well!
Right now we agreed to buy some silver every month from now on so it will grow constantly and I can finally start looking at some cool stuff I want to add again. The silver hunt is always cool, isn't it?
I think it's still small but it felt pretty good to pile up these capsules lol, won't lie!
Enjoy your weekend, much love!

Congratulations @thisismylife!
You raised your level and are now a Dolphin!
The Perth mint usually have great designs of their Dragon themed coins and always a popular theme. I admire your selective style, carefully choosing the designs you like within a set price. When I started Stacking, I wasn't as cautious and discerning buying up Maple Leafs and Junk silver as if the Reset was going to happen sooner than later. After almost 10 years, Now I'm out of space to store it.
Congratulations on making Dolphin too.
I'm not a Financial advisor but bring your attention to an Australian Mint product... a suggestion.
