Hi stackers.
A couple days ago, I cashed out some LTC that I traded SBD for when LTC was about $130.00.
When LTC hit about $280 CAD I cashed some out... Here's the post.

So I decided to trade some of the CAD notes for silver and gold, so off to the shop I went yesterday.
So I was kinda hoping for some unusual bullion, and as a testament to making friends with your local coin shop, he told me he just got someone in selling some "weird" stuff, that he hadn't inventoried or tested, and he thinks it's stuff I'll like, so he's setting it aside until the next time I pop in!!!
I can't wait to see what he's got in the special @fat-elvis stash, but if he thinks it's oddball silver, I'll likely have to buy it! Now keep in mind that for him weird and odd can be anything that isn't government bullion.
So here's what I ended up buying, as the only other things he really had on display were 1oz maples, and I would rather buy something else at this point in my life, but you know, silver is silver, so if I need some and that's all there is, I'll buy maples.
A few more 1976 Olympic sterling silver $10.00 and $5.00 coins to go in my growing collection of these. They are 1.44ozt asw per $10.00 face. These are always in the spot+10% bin.
I like these old sterling Olympic coins, the $10.00 coins are nice and big. And they make a nice sterling sound when you stack them up!
This next one is not something I would have normally bought, but I liked it, so I bought it! It's a 1973 Royal Canadian Mounted Police 50% silver dollar, in a case that was only available to RCMP members when it came out. I thought that was pretty cool, but at $25.00 CAD for 0.375 ozt of silver, it's a fair bit above spot, but, this is a coin afterall and not bullion!
So that's the buy I made. A little over 6 ozt in silver, for about $165.00 CAD.
Have I mentioned how cool crypto currency is? It's very cool, it has changed my whole stacking life!
Cheers everyone, stay awesome!
Cool old 1976 Olympic Silver. I remember when it came out.
It's a great way to add to the stack. its all relatively cheap, like generic bullion.
Hmmm are you replacing the diet weight with silver to compensate?
Ps love the football coin
Yup, I gotta keep my "overall" weight up, lol. Thanks, I like the Lacrosse one as well, not bad detail.
Nice Pickup! Converting crypto to silver is never a bad decision!! That TCMP coin is unique! I have never seen that before!
Thanks Sevin. It's a "commemorative silver dollar" for the Mounties, there was at least one a year for different things. Still is I guess, but now I think they're .999 silver
Nice pickups @fat-elvis! Even sweeter when they are from crypto profits 😀
true dat! its kinda like free silver!
Montreal coins are always a good bet. Big ones with prices between 5% and 10% above bullion. Perfect. About the RCMP dollar, the price you paid was just because of the box. It is a very common coin with the mintage of more than a million coins. Overall a good trade.
thanks ronaldo,
Yeah, I normally only pay between $8 to $12 for a real nice 50% dollar, but this one has the collector box with it, so I justified it, and RCMP memorabilia is a bit of an interest to me.
The olympic coins are great for me, cause they seem to be coming up for sale lately a lot, and yeah, at spot+ 10%, that's cheaper than I can buy maples, and they're more interesting, I figure.
thanks for reading, cheers
We have the Best of all Worlds we have Silver and Cryptos....................@fat-elvis
its an awesome time to be a stacker of both!
The Indian coin is pretty cool...is that a Lacross game they are playing?
It is. That's our National sport apparently, lol, even though it's not popular at all!
Great pickups! The case from Royal Canadian looks like a nice case and looks like its still in good condition.
Yeah, it's in pretty good condition! The coin itself is pretty good too, it's got some cleaning scratches on it but they're not at all deep
cool coins!
Nice coins my friend. What’s even better is technically they were free from your crypto profit. Free silver. SCORE!!!!
That's the best part! steemit bought these!
Hope to get there at some point. My wallet is a joke!!!
I was using vote bots for a while, they don't seem to pay off anymore for some reason.
Nicely done. I'm starting to get that relationship with my LCS. When I walk in the door, he knows exactly where I'm headed.
Awesome, once they know you and know what you like, you may get surprised with what they have "in the back"! I know Ive asked for specific things and sometimes he has them in his personal stash. Also I have gotten a few empty tubes, and coin boxes from my LCS for free!
magnificent coins!!
Thanks MK!
