A gift from a friend…

Afternoon everyone….

This post is long overdue……

Someone on this platform that I have known for many years now sent me a surprise. I received this package just after Easter. So that tells you how behind I am…..

I consider this person a true friend, even though we have never met in person. Yet!!!

We have sent gifts back and forth for numerous years now. I am proud and honored to say that I was gifted one of personal silver bars. This person is @silversaver888.

She is a super generous person and very thoughtful as well. It is a rare find in this world , especially now a days.

In the package was a 1980-81 Hoffman & Hoffman “Pegasus” silver round. This is one of my all time FAVORITE silver rounds. Silversaver had shown one off in a post just before Easter. I made a comment reading. “I wish that I had bought more”. The next thing I know this package showed up in my mailbox.

These rounds are rare, as per the Allengelhard website there were less than 5,000 minted.

Here is some info on the round from Numista:
