So I found out that I didn't get into #steemsilvergold... this time. But I can still keep posting about my passion and they say I'll have another shot at it soon. But I need to make more posts on silver and gold. That I can do!
Fortunately for me, I have some new loot to showcase as my Stakitus was acting up really badly over the last week. I was happy when I found myself at the weekend with a little extra coin (paper bills) in my purse (olde timey purse, like the leather pouches with the strings. Still not getting the picture? Never mind, it's a wallet.)
I had to run an errand and thought "oh, no, it's going to take me by the coin store. I guess I'll have to stop in!" I'm sure you can hear the reluctance in my voice. I had my bill launcher ready and a bit of ammo in it, so I knew I didn't have to worry about walking in unprepared.
The man behind the counter and I talked about a lot of different coins and through the process, I let slip that I have been dreaming of getting some actual sterling silver silverware to eat my food. If I'm going to be a real stacker, I need to eat like one. He said that he could help with that. He walked into the back and then returned with a shoe box full of sterling silver.
If you're not into numismatics or if you are just stacking for weight, or if you want some awesome silverware that's made of silver, check this out... "They sell it at melt!" My jaw just about hit the floor.
I had been looking on overpricedbay.com and they were selling a spoon for $50. I wasn't going to pay that. But here I had a chance to get it at melt! It's all .925 so I can't melt it into my own rounds, but hey it's more weight on the stack! And I can use it to eat my food. I feel like a freaking king when I do. I'm getting ahead of myself though, you want to see a picture, right? Well, here you go.
As you can see from the picture, I got a fork, a knife, a serving spoon (to be read: cereal spoon), an ice cream spoon, and a butter knife. I'm beyond thrilled to add these to my collection and glad to get the chance to showcase them for you as I haven't seen a lot of Silverware in #ssg posts.
I'm hoping to pick up more as they had a lot. Just have to reload the money-launcher...
