Hello friends,
Well i tells ya, the stackitus can make ya do some pretty extraordinary things. Witness the last 20 days of #steemsilvergold from the outside, and you would think we were all a bunch of raving fucking lunatics — i pity the fresh faced stacker who found this group sometime in January or February and thought: “wow! This is great!!!”
Oh fuck my sides! 🤣🤣🤣 and i’m not trying to rub salt... just well beyond the tears now, and choose to laugh, and to try and optimize that timeless medicine — the true elixir for the ages.
Here’s what i’ve been doing: and i promise! This is a post for Stackers...
I grabbed thing-2 — the assassin (check out his ride!)
Rolled onto a ferry with thing-1 — Leon’s badass bro Charlie
And hit the waves full steam ahead!
That’s “Active Pass” between Mayne and Galliano Islands. It’s cool that the two ships pass each other in this tight swervy waterway.
Anyway, we got to Victoria, hit the Vip liquor store and then checked in, went upstairs to our room, for a few (hours) then upstairs from there to our Hotel’s resto on the 18th... And whadda’ ya know? It was Martini Monday!!! Yowza! Here’s the view:
After dins — yum, smack — we walked a couple blocks to the Provincial Legislature Building for the sights — Mrs. D was all smiles which is what makes me happiest!
Fucking killing it friends!!! 😁😁😁
Just look at my boys!!! 😻😻
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Holy fuck, i need to work out or jab some testosterone or something...
Okay, fuck, i’ve tortured you enough with my complaints and my bullying. Let’s stack that shit!!!
I got a hall pass and hit the road. The two spots i looked at were duds, so i’m driving outta’ d town Victoria to a shop somewhere on google maps. Holy fuck! It talks!!! Perfect... i’ll just drive like a mellowed pro and put on the Dark Side of the Moon, if ya know what i mean.
Redonk!!! I showed up at a mall with a Home Depot and a bunch of pick-up trucks. And started asking questions...
In the belly of the beast i thought about a lot of you guys, ssg, what the fuck with all the yuck!!?but also just honed in on getting the best of what was available.
The guy was STACKED!!! Holy fuck! We hit it off right away, and though there was no barter, i did make judicious choices, and lemme’ tell you (and i was checking my mobile) the guy was literally spot on. Well not paper spot... but y’all know what i mean. He also had some mother fucker numis, but that’s not my game — well not yet at least...
So, thank you for spending some of your precious time with me, here we go:
First up, a 1967 set still in the GI Joe box. $30
[I am in Canada, so for my USD buddies subtract 30% approx — UK, AUS and beyond, you’re on your own...]
Nice huh? I love this shit! I began to relax... and then i did a little side step and reeled in these:
Yes indeed fat-e — she’s a beauty! And who could pass up a free wicked case? — think she was my splurge at $25 — 63’ on the left and ‘60 on the right were $16
Stackitus? Grief? Sadness? — Fuck No! I literally made the guy laugh when i told him i felt like i had been up all night doing coke with him! We had a good laugh, and i continued to shop...
And i learned something cool today about the ‘67 Canadian Goose
Which is this: if you hold it as i am in pic, and spin it, and it looks like this
A nose-diving goose, then you may have a $700 coin on your hands. The guy says he always does the flip with a goose... Cool hey!!!?
So i bought another one!
...and then i felt my dual-citizenship kicking in. O Ray, and Shippie, and Random, and stonewall, and dark-m and pit-bullion of course and all you other crazy Yankee bastards — i’m actually one of you too! Lol
My blood flows with Maple Syrup and my heart beats 9999, but i was born in the USA and i, technically, could run for the highest office in the land!
But i digress...
U. S. A. !!!
Peace Dollars & Morgans!!!
But i wasn’t finished yet!!!
The walker was $10 but it’s in great shape, and the buff nickel replica was just for shitz and giggles, and because i was literally high off my ass from raiding a brand new coin shop!
I should add that there’s a King George dime in the US loot, but i wanted that crowned cunt today and i got him! — there was a Dollar coin that looked good — like MS 67 with his fancy ass on it, but it was $750 or $950!!! I forget, but Ho-Lee-Phuck! That’s some serious numismatics!
Sigh... breathe in the air... i had to leave a 1908 incused ‘Indian Head’ gold piece in its spot. 4 something grams, but $360! It was gorgeous! And GA might’a proposed if i had picked it up, but it was kinda steep, and i’m only partially made out of money 😜
So, i made the prudent choice i think... Check out my new “no-need-for Credit Card!
Here’s a splash pic i sent to Alabama earlier...
Thaz some shit!!!
I am a doting father, blessed husband, loyal friend, proud supporter of #steemsilvergold, and i like to stack.
Also, i support vigourously, all things #thealliance, although this is obviously a post for the Metal-heads! So guys and gals out there:
Fuck it! — I’m Stacking
Viva SSG
Cheers! from @thedamus
🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️
Lots of great stuff @thedamus! I really like the Canadian 5 cent silvers too, when I can get them reasonable. You got a hell of a stack there!
...just not fucking around anymore!
Damn, damn ,DAMN! rolling with the fam and slidin in to the LCS, dude that's a fucking haul right there. Good looking fam and awesome pick ups. That's how you do it.
Thanks Ray-Ray! We’ve all been having a great time!!!
😻😻😻😻
And that lil’ coin shop will bring me/us back over here if our killer digs doesn’t beckon first!
🍆😎
Hell yea man glad you found a spot finally. Especially glad the dark side was on! Nice US and Canadian dollar mix brother 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Cheers neighbour!!!
Looks like a good time out with Mrs D and the boys. Stack on brotha!
There’s no other way fwd!
👊😎
Whoooo! nice haul my friend! The Karatbar is cool, though they are a pyramid scam of a company, but the gold is still good!
That's a King George 5 cent I see in the mix! sweet, that's some .925 goodness right there! I need to get some, but they're usually so high premium'd I always leave them.
You did real good.
Cheers buddy! That tiny George was all i was willing to pay for. The guy had some very nice coins in store, but i wanted shiny!
That's the way right now, when silver was over $30/oz, I bought mostly coins, but when its down like this, the goal is to get the most ounces for the cheapest when possible! but a fella still needs to add some cool shit in the mix sometimes!
Isn't it awesome finding new coin shops while traveling!, its one of my favorite things to do!
It was like going to fucking Disney Land, only better!
Wow you went all out! I want them all! I was just going to stop by, comment and mention that as promised, I made my first silver purchase this month and move along until I saw the buffalo nickel replica so I had to take a quick pic to share!
Paid $17.50 USD each ($1.50 upcharge) -- I wasn't pleased with the $1.50 extra charge, but I was just happy to get my hands on some loot! I wasn't going for anything in particular, so I went with coins that don't have collector value. Almost bought the trump coin just for the hell of it but nah. The following day silver was down and now it's up. I should have gotten a third coin!
As much as I want to buy some collectibles, I'd rather have the pure silver. I've been on the lookout for worthy coins in any loose change I get though. Haven't done this since I lived with my dad since he was huge on collecting coins. He still has them too, so I bet I can convince him to send me a few to help expand my collection!
I gotta thank you because your stacking posts are what really motivated me to start stacking myself. I never realized it was so easy to get some coins either. Both good and bad, I'll find it hard not to drop a 20 spot on some loot at least once a month...
Have an awesome day, buddy!
Cheers bitfiend! Buying straight bullion is a very good place to start, and i’m happy to hear some of my posts have inspired you to stack. Just keep on hauling in that loot my friend, it adds up quick!
Man, you are cleaning up there. I got to drive for hours to even find a coin shop but I can feel the stackitus building.
My stackitus was dormant there for a couple days, and then boom! It broke out and i was rendered helpless to the scourge... just a zombie with a bank card!
🤣
jeez you went all out there, nice haul while still doing family time.
If you like the goose the guy in whiterock has a ton of them for $13
Sweet! I deffo have to check out the Wr spot. Don’t mind payin’ a little Island primo on the geese, and the other stuff was a thrill to find!
i bet those boys keep you busy!!
stack on mo fo :)
Yes indeed kiwi, they work me! But i love it 😻👍
The big market for silver in the near future is going to be industrial... many of the new technologies depend on physical silver. I have a shitload of bullion so now I'm focusing on collectables... nice collection!
Thx q11! I think you are correct re: silver — i’m stackin’ and collectin’ all that i can. I just really dig the history and designs in the older silver coinage.
I do too, I like to check the coin shops for bargains. I just sent for 10 1oz rounds that look like the old Indian Head nickels. It was $0.49 over spot so I couldn't pass it up!
awww gorgeous fam @thedamus and I love that gold bar, especially with the certificate. The rest, I don't know what's going on lol
Just some ol’ time silver from the long ago... Aus has it too!!! Go check out a coin shop in you’re town/city (near by) and pick up some history!
sniff we don't have any local coins shop up here. only coins I see on the regular are the SSG stacks lol :D
Check out online dealers then... i’d bet you will find galore to choose from.
😁👍
There ya go b1! Check ‘em out 😻👍
Great post my friend. Enjoy you vacation brother. Those are some great pick ups, major score!!!! 👍👍
Cheers 510! The shop over here was deluxe!
Then you need to hit that shit up again before you leave!!!!👍
😳🤔😁🤣💥🤯
Bringing the heat!!!
I dig that octagon capsule! And can't go wrong with those gold karatbars!!
Yeah man! That funky capsule sealed the deal 😜😻
You ain’t playing your hitting it hard. 👍🏻
No sir & yes sir!
😜👍
Now that looks like the perfect day/night out with the fam. Thanks for sharing that shit!
:)
Cheers summertooth! And thx for not molesting the assassin! Lol
😜👍
You combined in one post the two more important things in life : family and silver. Congratulations and have a good time !
Lol. What about whacking-off, cocktails and cheeseburgers!!!?
These are the third, fourth and fifth :=)
Nice pickups @thedamus! I am really likin' the old constitutional action you got going on. You can never go wrong with the Morgan's.
Yeah, they are beauties — the peace dollas too!
Great post and good to see you spending quality time with the family...Really that's what important in life...How important photo's and memories may become. we just don't know.
Another photo like this will never be able to be taken. just one of many but this one i have at hand. More valuable than any PM's, money or wealth is Time as you can never get it back.
O man, i am sorry for what has befallen you. That just ain’t right...
I know... but Life's gotta go on...right.
Nothing can change it and as a parent when there's nothing you can do or see coming. It's the worst feeling in the world. If only this if only that, is really crazy and it's still like a bad dream. No explaining it either just worst kinda luck you can have. I'd swap my life for my kids in a heartbeat, so would most parents even my stack and i guess there times when your stack cannot help you.
but hey on a another note i can buy more silver than i did.
Wow @thedamus. You're such a dope parent and you understand finance. Definitely a keeper!!!
Thanks for that!
Tis my pleasure..
" i pity the fresh faced stacker who found this group sometime in January or February and thought: “wow! This is great!!!”
^^^That's me. LOL. You got some very nice coins. And I didn't know about that goose trick. Awesome info and stack on!
Cheers vg!
I’m flippin’ every one i see!
Yep, rotated dies. I'm a goose flipper from way back! Same with the US Connecticut state quarter.
“Goose flipper” i like it! I’m adding that to my CV!
🤣👍
Have you ever seen a 1967 "diving goose"?
Nope. It was news to me yesterday.
Sorry, I didn’t see where you wrote about it...skimming. Yea, I found one once among a bunch of loose CAD and sold it online for upwards of $750. Keep yer eyes peeled for those!
Dang!!! This has just become one of my “things.”
Cheers!

Any Villain gets started due to greed or vanity... i prefer “protagonist” as a literary title, but not really that fussy. I assure you though, a villain i am not.

You would probably like my Goldfinger post!

That is a good one for sure,
Mishes Munnypenny!
