Thank you so much, Joan! @joanstewart I like the designs and it is an easy way to beat inflation right now. :) The good thing is, it is portable.
I did miss @silversavers' post because I just got home about a half hour ago. So I ran over! Thank you for letting me know. That was really kind of you and thank you for the tip! I really appreciate it! I appreciate all of your support!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Stacking is not something many do here that I know of well no one talks about it.
Only ever met one work associate many years ago who bought directly from the Mint, an ardent collector around 1975, he suggested to try at the time Krugerrand, pity I didn't listen then! People I knew who bought, mounted into jewellery, most had them stolen.
Moving goods of value in this day and age, doubt it will reach a person, extremely high import charges another concern. Fifteen years ago I would most definitely not have thought twice about it, glad you managed to make contact.
Have a wonderful day!
My dad bought Kugerrands in the 1970s! Maybe late 60s? Not sure, but, he bought bullion and was considered a good buy at the time. He did it for years. He loved those beautiful coins! Only stopped for political reasons. Isn't that always the case? Before he passed, he gifted all of them to his kids. Hindsight is always best. I know this personally.
My parents never had sufficient spare to dabble into this form, Mom did keep some coins and stamps which I have none have been sorted, boxes I need to go through!
I spent money on travel, when children arrived keeping ones head above water with a couple of holidays every year, itchy feet...
Hindsight is always 50/50 a classic that most of use enjoy and wear the Noddy badge for. 🙃
It is fun to sort through old boxes like that. It fascinated me to see what was important to my grandparents and even more so, my great-grandparents. Believe it or not, neither one of them had much. People didn't collect anything back then, except children's memoirs or their extended families. I think collecting began with my parents, honestly. They moved from their home state and wanted to keep some of those memories. Not really sure but that is what it seems like to me. I hope to break that behavior, but, first I need to sort through a few things. :)
Travel was mostly paid for by my job, incorporating both with new living locations, and don't think I am not feeling fortunate for that.
I collected stamps when I was a kid. I still have them. I was fascinated by the different countries!
Only my Mom's mothers sideboard I inherited at around 14, now arranged it goes to a niece keeping it on the girls side within family, never really knew any of the other grandparents.
Old boxes I have plenty to go through one day, who knows what one has until you start sorting and clearing !LOLZ

Well, I stand corrected as I have a serving platter from my great-grandmother and two pieces of furniture, but they didn't collect kid's schoolwork, art projects, and things like that. My generation saved everything and this generation saves nothing as we are going back to minimalism.
Of course, I kid you about saving everything, but, seems like there are more boxes that I had to go through (and my sisters!) than I have ever seen. Houses were smaller and now we have room to keep everything. Bigger is not always better.
Bigger is never better, one learns that eventually. We create our own headache, yet it's heartache going through long forgotten items bringing back fond memories.
I hope your day has been wonderful!
No electricity tonight, yup make the most of what you have!
I wish I could give you some of mine. You don't have any solar, Joan? I think I might have asked you this or maybe Lizelle. I am so sorry, but, applaud your attitude. ❤️
Criminal element in the country see solar on the roof you become a target, they steal the panels and know there are batteries if they can get to that as well.
Our cellphone towers, places where 5G towers went up are targeted for batteries, some steal electricity straight from the source to power their homes free of charge.
No my dear friend, here you keep a low profile and blend in to stay safe.
I never thought of that Joan, to be honest! @joanstewart Now I feel really ignorant because, of course, why wouldn't they? You or I would not, but, I have to wonder if I would if I was in their shoes. Probably not, I would live without it.
We do have people that will plug in on your electricity, but, that is few and far between. A low profile works more often than not.
Devastating watching our country being dismantled little by little, extremely strong leader required to run this country. People are tired, disgruntled, cold, with many starving, we never had this 15 years ago.
Hugs to you and yours, we must sit, wait and watch quietly in the dark more often than not.
