Well, I Made Some Purchases ..
And by the title and the cover photo, you probably made a pretty quick and accurate guess as to what that may be. I took some of the proceeds from selling other items (See past posts), and bought a few coins I had my eye on. I purchased a few lots and am excited to go through them and share them all with my fellow stackers.
I Sold Several Items .. For various sums of money. I sold lighters, bottles, toys, tops, fishing lures, and the list goes on and on. I banked the dough in anticipation of purchasing some fractional silver coins. I set my eyes on mostly .800 and .900 silver coins.
Austrian Silver Schillings ..
These are what I found myself drawn to lately. I like their heavy feel, smooth flat edges, unique designs, and especially the obverse with all those cool shields.
1964 Austria 50 Schilling Commemorative Issue Coin ..
This coin is an uncalculating schilling made of .900 Silver. It was made in honor of the 1964 Winter Olympic Games held in Innsbruck. I think, besides the obverse with all it's shields, what drew me to this particular coin, was the neat design with a ski jumper. He/she seems to be flying through the sky like a bird in flight. I love the sleek skier design, the Alps in the background and the Olympic rings lingering above.
Check out the obverse of this coin... I like that the shields only go 3/4 the way around.
Stamped into the edge .. Are the words "FUENFZIG SCHILLING", translated to be 50 Shillings. A very chunky style font that is visually appeal, in my opinion.
Molly Gives Her Stamp of Approval ..
Well, an edited version of Miss Molly that is. I tried stepping out of my comfort zone and removing the background (the best I could) to help her to be a part of the excitement. She didn't mind so much, this time, being next to the coins. hehehe. Wow, so much easier than scaring the poor girl.
Here Is Some Additional Coin Info ..
Thanks to Numista.com. They are awesome for find a few detials on the coins you have. @silversaver888 and @kerrislravenhill were nice enough to point this site out to me. Thanks!!!
Miss Molly ..
Now, as for Molly.. We went away a few weekends ago, up to the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. Molly, as always, came along with us for the trip to see her cousins. She travels well. We make it very comfortable for her to travel. Let me see if I can find a photo of the pups traveling in the car...
My cousin hosted a barbecue .. Where other family came to gather and celebrate for the afternoon. It was nice to have so many together and the weather was AWESOME! Molly loved it too. She was less freaked out than I thought she was going to be. She found several comfortable spots to chill ..
Under the table with a bunch of smelly feet..
Where she eventually fell asleep and was NOT accidentally kicked .. Not once!
We laid down a small blanket for her to curl up on.. She enjoyed that spot for a good while. OBVIOUSLY because it was next to daddy and mommy. Or maybe it appealed because we were also eating. I may have 'Sucker' stamped on my forhead!
Yup. I'm eating and I'm a sucker.. Molly got a tasty handout right after this photo was taken. Smoked pork!
She eventually found a spot in the shade.. of the porch. The grass is nice and cool and incredibly soft over there. I wish our grass at home was as nice as this, but it's not. That's fine because keeping grass this nice is a LOT of work. I am sure my cousin would back me up on this. Nice grass cus! (smile smile)
Why not by the fence too? .. Molly found the shade after she followed us around to the driveway side of the house. That blacktop driveway can really absorb a lot of heat and Molly doesn't like all that heat on her tender paws. Sooooo... she found the cool spot. Again the grass!
Just look at her enjoying herself :-)
That's About It For This Post ..
We covered silver coins and Molly.
Maybe I am biased, but I think Molly is again the show stopper. Far more pretty and valuable to me than any coin.
As always, I hope you enjoyed the rambling.
“I have no riches but my thoughts,
Yet these are wealth enough for me;
My thoughts of you are golden coins
Stamped in the mint of memory;
And I must spend them all in song,
For thoughts, as well as gold, must be
Left on the hither side of death
To gain their immortality.”
― Sara Teasdale, The Collected Poems

About Me ~ The Artist
My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.
Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.
For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.

The words stamped around the edge was interesting… and Molly is too cute. Glad you enjoyed the bbq… I have one coming up this weekend …. Unfortunately, it’s not a casual one 🤦🏻♀️ From what I hear .
Yeah.. I like that part of the coin. Thanks for mentioning that! Not Casual??!! WHAT? Oh Boy. Stiletto's and grass don't mix. haha. Don't get any rib sauce on that dress!!! I am sure it will be fun regardless. 😁
Hmm, Molly knows what is best for her. She looks so cute and happy. My dogs hate the sun too.. they always look for cool shady spots to lie down.
Maybe you should make a NFT of Molly, I just got this thought when I saw the image of her with the background removed. she looks stunning in that. :)
She's no dummy for sure. Shade all the way! Sounds like your dogs are smart too.. I think it's the breed. lol. NFT of Molly?! Hmmmm.. Who wouldn't want to own that?!!! 😆
Those are awesome and totally worth acquiring.
Thanks! I think so too. So far I do not regret the purchases 😁
Nice edits on that photo. I know that removing the background can be really hard. Especially for someone who isn't all artsy like me. Those are some cool coins. It looks like it was an awesome weekend! We were up camping and we lucked out weather-wise as well.

I am trying to step a little out of my comfort zone and get a little more creative. I hope it doesn't look too corny. 😕 We had a good time hanging out with the family .. and Molly (of course). Glad to hear your weather for camping was awesome. Makes it all more enjoyable. I have had my share of rainy camping trips. they can suck! Especially since most of them involved a tent.
Ah yes, thankfully our tent days are long behind us!
Other than having Molly's paw of approval in Silver purchases what other financial advice does she give you?

Hey! That's exactly what the government asked me when they called to talk about my silver purchases! hahahaha... Really though, if the investment means more cookies and treats, she's going to give her stamp of approval. 😆
Great day! Great coins! 100% my friend.
Yeah! Great day for sure. I am loving these coins so far. Thanks! 😊
An awesome post, my friend! The coins are fantastic-I like the shields as well. And, yes, you are right........Molly steals the show! What a cutie! In regard to the foot photo and Molly; I believe that our pets enjoy our feet! To smell them; to lay by them, and yes, occasionally lick them (what are they thinking!?🙀)
Thanks for sharing and have a lovely rest of the week!
Awwww.. Thanks Elizabeth 😁 I can't wait to show the others .. soon! That Molly steals all my thunder. haha. That's okay because she steals my heart too 😊 Oh my GOSH yes! We used to have a Lhasa called Patches and she would love to lick feet. hehe.
Enjoy your week too!
Pets are awesome! Kind of like gold and silver! Take care!
Nice pick ups. Molly looks like she has plenty of her own fun. 👍
Thanks! I plan on writing posts about the others soon. Molly is just so chill .. especially in the summer heat. 😊
Nice, nice pickups!
Those commemorative coins are very pretty,@bdmillergallery!
I'll show the other soon. One at a time as to stretch it out and bore everyone to death 😆
So many interesting coin. But, Molly the cutest little Miss. Under the table hanging out. Such an angel!
