Ol' Silverbeard is back, with another wee tale of recent plunder. Today i found myself drawn to the bullion store in town, as i had siphoned off some scurvy fiat notes from the trading parlours of ye ol' Blockchain.
With the damn things literally losing me money while they were in my possession, i knocked-stepped as quick as my good leg and me peg would transport me. I arrived and made some small chat so's to have them at ease -- i spied a 5oz poured vintage Engelhard for $350 !!! Ali Babba and Kalamazoo thar be a steep premium. I also saw some old 10oz JM bars (reverse loafs) that were $350. Zoinks! I tells ya, my cockles were shrinking back in horror, as me old rapier was rattling in its sheath!
I opted for the fiver they were parlaying for generic spot $120 cad
Nothing likes a fiver to makes ya want a little more! So i dug into the bags that the fools call junk and came up with these beauties!
And since the collection of loot knows no borders nor time, these too had to be purloined. Afterall, it was me n GA getting back to our nefarious past -- fyi, we rocked hard in the sixties!
And finally the coin splash -- of our war canoe and m2tm's pocket piece.
T'was a fine day for being a pirate! Y'Arrrr!!!
And now let me sing you a song about the Captain's platter, Yo ho ho!
There have been 4 people who have left correct answers in Steemit Chat -- 13/13's! and one who is currently sitting at 11/13
Get out yer spyglass @edxserverus! If you squint hard enough, you'll see land!
Presently, @owenwat, @kouloumos, @knowledge-seeker and the chief collector among us @phelimint have submitted correct answers and will be entered into my "Speed Round." Gentlemen, get out your muskets and put in your earplugs! This one is going off with a bang!!!
💥💥🌴🌞🌴💥💥
Tomorrow, Sunday, at high noon (or as close as i can make it here in Vancouver on Pacific Time) i will post 1 final question. The first one to answer correctly in the comments of that post will be the winner of me treasure!
Good luck to all! But especially to my fellow marauders at #teamcanada
And the fine folks at
Of course in me pirate's heart i do desire to see a fellow pirate claim the prize!
Y'Arrr!!!
It's too bad Stax hadn't entered yet 😳😳😳
C'mon girl, you can play too!
Avast ye Skull-duggering dawgs! May the wind be at your backs and the sun shining on the sea as your good fortune awaits!
Cheers friends! from @thedamus
🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅
Well, I see some good shit here, that NWT bar is a classic and as far as the junk, well nothing better than have a piece of real money that our governments once produced. See they don't like real money. Fucking nice score buddy. I need to send you some crypto so you can shop for me, looks like you have a good store to buy from... keep stacking that shit buddy...
Cheers Ray!
The main spots i go to are Vancouver Bullion and Currency Exchange (vbce.com) and J&M Coin and jewellery on Broadway in Vancouver. Both have product lists on their webpages — although J&m’s is a bit of a bastard to figure out first time...
goog ‘em
vbce is a currency xchange too so they price their bullion in usd too.
Keep on stackin’ buddy!
👊😎
ArrrRR that be a fine haul of treasure.
Into the trunk with a spot marked 'X' and back to the flagons of rum!
I'm shocked that you have at this point in time, 376 Votes, but only 55 Views... I take it, most people only have time to vote...??? I'm always amazed about Steemit... Mostly confused...lol...
@pocketechange
The reason i have the number of votes i do, as well as the payout, is because i am using the available boosting services on this platform — just like most everybody else. However, perhaps unlike most other people, i have invested a significant amount of my own money into Steemit.
I'm not really sure how those boosting services work yet... It must be a good idea if most people are using them... I see your Views almost doubled since the last time I was here...
@pocketechange
A wise man once told me: look into it
Thanks...
@pocketechange
Wow, it occurred to me that the 1948 90% Franklin half dollar is almost 70 years old.
Yeah... pretty cool to think people used to walk around with a pocket full of real silver!
hey im form Vancouver to.
i dont get what or how someone enters your contest thou
Hi nabes, The contest is over now... but there’ll be more! Cheers Vancouver Steemian!!!
👊😎
Great little pickups. Just wish I had something like that around by me, where I could go and dig through a "junk bin". Now for the competition, I've got 9 answers struggling(I think I have 9). Lol
It's all there Welshie! Get 'em in... and tell Stax to enter too 😜😜😜
It's a bit hard with a 2yr old having a mental breakdown every 30 seconds. Haha I'll give it 1 more go while he's calm watching paw patrol
Chase is on the case!
Lol
Good God man, don't you start!!! It's the best of a bad bunch. Not looking forward to 6 hours of that self righteous, selfish little pink pig called peppa. The sooner she gets turned to bacon the better
Mmm, bacon...
hahhaa i had to read your post twice to understand what it meant (i am not a native english speaker), but i like your style and those silvers are awesome, no WEREWOLFS would bother you!
Thanks for having a look!
...Werewolves cross the street when i come walking down the block 👊😎
the pleasure is all mine!!!
You crazy Canadians........
Avast!
Great Post. I love reading these. They are hilarious. Also, good to leave those over-price over-premium coins there. You picked up some decent pieces for reasonable prices. Good Deals.
Thanks goldkey! The US coins were $17 per dollar of face value, the Canadian ones $14ish in Canadian dollars. US is 90% and the Can is 80% silver. I just love the fact that people used to actually have money in their pockets!
Arrrrg, gimme yer booty save I wallop yer umm...booty. lol
Lol! Answer me questions by noon and i’ll send you a stack! There’s 5oz’s of the shiny up for grabs!!!
Very good looting! Those half dollars are the balls. And that '66 looks fairly minty as well. Good job with the pirating
I was thinking of ya’s @fat-elvis!
😘😘😘

🌴🌴🔥👊😎🔥🌴🌴
I be jingling ‘round the fire this days night!
Good post. They are hilarious. Also, good to leave those over-price over-premium coins there.
I've just startet getting an interest for collecting coins. I would love to get hold of an coin from the roman empire. Just to hold and have something in my hand that is 2000 years old would be mindblowing. I'm also interested in Silver coins. Could you recommend any sites where I can read and learn about collecting silver coins?
Check out Phelimint.com for some very cool semi-numismatics. They’re very reliable. Or just google what ya’ wanna know.
Google can be quite overwhelming, but pelimint.com seems like a good site. Thank you!
Silvergoldbull.com
Apmex.com
Are two others...
I Thank you sir!
Arharr ye skulldugherin dawg that be some fine booty!
O Har, Har, Har! Me ol’ ship is sitting low in the tides now!
Arrrg you made off with some mighty fine treasure. ☠️
What i like to call a keel haul!
Y’Arrr!
Best of luck to all those who are in the speed round. May the best person win!
👍
Hey, if you get a chance, I had a few questions about crypto trading I sent to you on steemit.chat. Thanks
Y'Arrrr! Good luck everyone !! 👍👍👍👌💕✌
Get in answers mom's-K!
Nice! @thedamus. You are going to get that silver bar at a deeper discount after this post! Those are some hefty premiums on the older bars for sure. I can usually pick them up at a decent price at my local shop, but man ya gotta be fast!
Cheers bro! I’ve got a few spots for hunting... but the “premium” on some of these bars is really going ape. the poured old Engelhard are really killin’ it
