Good Morning Stackers!

So i was having a look through my blog and noticing there were simply not enough posts about epic silver lootings. To be fair, there were a few -- but just not enough for the Caramilk secret! And then my buddy @uglyboy sends me a pic text about the 20oz J&M bar and the 5oz Poured Engelhard he just picked up for generic -- whaaaaat? A 5oz poured Engelhard for generic!!!? Are you fucking kidding me? Those babies go for nearly double generic if and when you can find them!

Where? Where? Where? I asked. And so he told me: 'Canada Gold' is the parent company and they have shops all over with the name of the city there in, like: Surrey Gold, or Richmond Gold, or in my case Vancouver Gold. I had always dismissed them 'cause i thought they were just a Vampire business: buying people's PM's for super cheap and making their %...and, well, that's what they are. But they sell too! And they seemingly have no idea about collectible Ag.

So i went. And i saw. And i Conquered:
1 x 2oz Freedom girl
1 x 1oz Engelhard
5 x 1oz J&M (vintage)

8oz of the shiny for $196 cad -- that's $24.50 an ounce for what you see above (@uglyboy got his 25oz for $600, so a clean $24 for him...the rat bastard!)

Well, you know how it goes, once you get that first hit you just want more, so off i went to my fave coin shop, and here is where i really feel like i killed it. I got the "good guy" and he had already put something aside for me. (He said they had got a lot of junk in and that he had sorted out some Canadian halves for me.) and Man o Man he wasn't kidding. He brought out 3 1/2 tubes of pre-1967 fitty-cent pieces and i just had to say "SOLD!"

Check eeet out Mon:

70 coins for $7 each = $490 cad

Here's the math:
Each coin has 0.3 of an ounce of silver.
So, 70 x 0.3 = 21 ounces
490/21 = 23.33

$23.33 per ounce! That's Mo Cheap and Mo better than generic!!!

Here's the haul all together:

So then my kids and my girl went to sleep and i brought out my new toys to play with -- brought out some Stella king cans too, plus a wee nip and a wee hoot! Here's a close up of the E-hard:

And a glam shot of the Van-Gold looting:

Then i was outside having a smoke and Steeming it up and thought a little night photography was in order, so here's a pic of Ray's super killer logo on the back of my car -- it's been through the wash already and it looks like it's on there for good!

Check out @raybrockman if you want to get a Steemit logo decal. He's got different sizes and colours!!!

Then i dropped acid with my cat Zorro:

Ha! Just kidding! But damn if she doesn't look high as a kite, and a little worried too lol.

I went back inside and laid out the fifty's (i got one tube of these a couple weeks ago, so my collection is growing fast :)

The columns start on the left with '59s and run to 1966

And a shot of 36 Obverse faces -- this is my fave version of ol' Elizardbreath -- i'd hit that ;)

And yes, i would tell everybody about it -- especially these guys and gals:

Heh heh!

But what a haul! I got 29 ounces of silver for $686

So: $23.65 Canadian per ounce -- and damn if they aren't pretty! Hope y'all at #steemsilvergold enjoy...

Now that's the mark of a TRUE STACKER!!!

Spot price is $18, you pay $23.3 and you walk away feeling like it's YOU that got the bargain!

The market knows what the real price should be for silver and stackers are willing to pay it because we know it won't matter in the end. It also shows that the spot market is fraudulent.

Good pickup, and stop letting your cat smoke your weed!

You're quoting USD, i'm quoting CAD
Makes it all a lil' more awesome hey?

I do not fuck around 🤘😎

...except when i'm getting baked with my cat

Thx for post Ed!

Cad spot today is 21.87. He did a damn fine score, high or not.

Again, Freedom Girl is awesome... the rest of the lot too, but I love that Freedom Girl and it's 2oz. NICE!
The cat looks WaSTeD ! HA!

.

Zorro was ripped! Lol

And yeah, Freedom Girl is gorgeous!

Stack it up Friday

who's next?

I hope you gave ole boy a kiss before you left.

heres to the ones that dont believe in silver

Lol! Nope, gotta' keep him pining ;)

Very Nice! No I wouldn't hit that...lol
Now Freedom Girl, well thats a different story:)

Take a number ;)

Shhhhhhhh

Dish out the goods around here and they'll dish it right back!

-check out your post bro...some bigwigs are giving you props!

Bud you're killing the halves! Love the coat of arms on those suckers. Must feel great to fondle em up? Your cats high..way to high

Always loved the .50's from like, way way back!

OMG that's hawt!

great collection of silver coins. nice to see these.

Thanks for having a look and commenting!

Nice job, you really cleaned house!

The shop i go to puts a lil primo on dollars, so these babies went for a song :)

Woah, you smashed it with those halves! If and when I can find those (rarely) they are usually way more. nicely done on both sales, you definitely are gonna need a parrot and an eye patch if you keep it up.

Squawk!!! Put on the patch!
