”Blackbirds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
To me the holiday season doesn’t end until after New Year’s Day.
We’re going Pre-Hive, Pre-Ste… that other place too.
Therefore, @silversaver888’s package arrived in time to qualify as holiday mail so baring any further distractions allow me to share a bit of our history as Stacking sisters.
Silver Saver Sweets!
We’ve originally met as Content creators on YouTube, a part of the Precious Metals Community around the spring of 2016. Prior to 2016 I was getting quite the education following channels on Sound Money advocates, Austrian Economics and that lead to Precious Metal Stacking.
The YouTube Precious Metals Stacking community was naturally male dominated at the time with less than one percent being women as I recall but I do not remember who or where the source of statistics came from. I’d be curious to see if that has changed by now but with the insane Identity politics nowadays, I can’t see anyone attempting a poll just yet.
The Stacking ladies tended to congregate around one particular channel by the name of Silver Diva where we also met others like Lady Liberty Stacker, Coin Keeper, JM Engelhard and so on.
Silver Saver and she continues to post video updates to her subscribers.
I can reasonably say that in this sub community of Precious metals Stacking is where I came to know @Silversaver888 as
Then the shiny!
A beautiful coin! I'm taking a liking to this Type 2 version.
Steem Hive. Sadly, he and other YouTube Silver Stackers had left our Community since the Crypto winter. Silver Saver and I are what remains of that group, and I don't think I'd be still here if it were not for my dear silver stacking Sister with me. 👭I remember us signing up to Metals Mafia back in 2017 as a social silver showcase & trading platform run by @pit-bullion up until he steered a bunch of us on to
Both Silversaver and I prefer Government minted bullion as the bulk of our core savings for maximum recognition, legal tender status, and high liquidity in our respective countries.
My original Government Minted Core stack (ML/ASE/UK/MEX) ratio target is 65%/20%/20%/5% but turns out as 75%/5%/15%/5%. Oh well, I'm far off my mark and it is what it is and American Silver Eagles have always been a high demand bullion coin in Canada no matter what year it is.
Another work in progress.
Do you have a target mix for Government bullion too?
I'm happy that my Stacking Sister helped nudged me back into that direction this Christmas.
Thank you, Sis! 🤗🌺❤️
Stacking both Precious Metals and Crypto for that big dark & Stormy Night!

You got it! I thought it was lost in the mail!!!
Then I forgot all about it, so it was a surprise to me.... hehehe 😍
You and me... against the world!
Wow, has it been that long?
Sure seem like just yesterday.
I've deleted most of my videos, and hardly post any...
We just have no time anymore.
But the years we were in YouTube were the best.
I am glad you like the American Siver Eagle.
I don't talk about it much, but I believe it is the most beautiful coin in the world.
Hugs and kisses sis 🤗🌺❤️

The package arrived January 10th so i didn't sit on it too long.
Yes it was that long ago but we had great memories and for now I just lurk around our YT Stacker friends to see new silver, hear opinions, get current events in that Community and drop a few comments.
I wish that a few more of us stayed on with Hive.
Tasty sweets, Sis. I have to limit my serving to half, I am Pre-diabetic and cannot binge on Chocolate as I used to but still easily manageable on diet alone.
MY best wishes to hopefully an awesome New Year Sis.
And always, with love 🤗🌺❤️
Been following you both for years on YouTube. Under a different secret handle.
My ratio for silver used to be about 60/40 weight/government bullion. Since the premiums got nuts I haven’t bought any government bullion.
Have a great week.
I planned to have a more sizable portion of ASEs since my early stacking days. Why not? The US is Canada's biggest trading partner and I am only 60kms from the border (But no passport) The ASEs at my LCS were consistently from $1.50 up to $4 above the premiums I pay for Maple Leafs is what skewed my goal to being overweight in Leafs. Even at that Premium ASEs are still flying off the shelf in Vancouver stores.
Thanks for the comment @silverd510 🦅
Another Gift Here to Add To Your Monster Stack.........
A dozen generations sandwiched between the hammer of the Khans' cruelty and the anvil of the icy foothills of Kurguzd forged the Tenyii into reclusive deadly foes. Brought to the training creche from birth, taught to steal for food, beaten when caught and trained daily with the sword and spear as soon as they were strong enough for their hands to lift steel, the Tenyii clan were hard as iron and as fierce and silent as midnight on the mountain glacier.Happy #PirateSunday @kerrislravenhill Nice Gift From Ms. Saver @silversaver888
When the Legion's heralds demanded a sacrifice of flesh and gold to open the rifts to the ways beyond, the Khan sent five hundred waadin berserkers to bring the tribe to heel. When a single horse returned bearing a sack of fifty skulls, the Khan threatened to burn the entire mountain to the ground. A dozen Tenyii Strikers were sent as tribute to spare the tribes and to satisfy the herald's call.
I don't Know Why But This Card Just Reminded me of you and Pumpkin Slicing............
Cool background story of the Tenyii.
He looks modeled after a classic Chinese Dao warrior.
Thank you very much for this card @stokjockey

Muy interesante tu post @kerrislravenhill, es un gran mundo el de los metales. gran parte desconocido por mi. Me asombro al ver como hay de todo en este mundo de o cual solo llegamos a conocor una minúscula parte. Te felicito por esa pasión y por compartir con qienes no lo sabíamos, la amistad que las une y el buen papel que la tenido en esta pasión @silversaver888.
Silversaver y yo tenemos diferentes gustos y estilos, pero compartimos la misma pasión en la recolección y el ahorro en metales preciosos. Gracias por su comentario @marbrym 🌻
That's beautiful that even in the differences you find the same, you share the same passion. Until coming here and reading some of @silversaver888's posts I hadn't paid attention or heard much about the world of metals as you know it. It is fascinating. Have a nice day🌺😉
She is more multifaceted in various interests as well as a proficient blogger where as I like to delve deeper into history, esthetics, utility and personal impressions of the subjects I study. 🌼
😱, both you and she are very interesting people. It's nice that you let us know about you, the truth is that I find it enriching. Have a nice evening!
That is a really Beautiful silver and that looks like delicious sweets 😋 Yummy... Never seen before.
Really Nice christmas gifts from @silversaver888
Happy sunday sis 🤗❤️🌷🤗
Much love
Mmmm, trying a few chocolate Macs.
Thanks for the warm Huggable thoughts Sis @saffisara 🤗
Very nice! I like that they restored the original front, but then what's with the new back?
After 35 years of the same design perhaps the Mint decided to Re-imagine it as Apmex put it. I have yet to read the US Mints preamble to the new design, the more natural expression of the Eagle looks nice but also reminds me of the Ike Dollar with the eagle landing on the moon.
At least I got the original 2021 Type 1 as well.
I wonder if the Royal Canadian Mint would change the Maple Leaf in the near future.
Thanks for dropping in @ironshield 🦅
A very interesting story how you two first started on Utube…..
Then on to Steem and finally home on Hive!😊
I am always happy when I hear stories of people finally “getting it”!🤗
So many of my friends would rather hold that paper Fiat Dollar,and have zero interest in real/sound money!🙃
I feels as if we've been friends for longer than that.
So nice to have run into both of you!!😀
Beautimous.

Thanks for the support @enginewitty 🦅
A splendid package😉😊.... I hope you have a blessed and successful 2022🎊🎉🥂🍾. Best regards🥰😘
Though this gift was outside the fringes of the official #silvergoldstackers Secret Santa initiative, everything else is fair game on the unofficial Surprise Santa for the sake of Community unity and gift giving/receiving fun.
2022 has started rough and difficult but hoping for better days ahead.
Thanks for visiting @chacald.dcymt ❤️
Very nice @kerrislravenhill! It is a beautiful coin for sure, and bonus, chocolate macadamia nuts to enjoy! Thanks for sharing sis!🤗😘💜🌻
Can't get enough of American silver eagles.
My local stores are always out of the even with the breath-taking premiums is why I don't have enough of them.
Thanks for dropping in Sis @elizabethbit 🦅
It's too bad the premiums are as they are for sure! Take care sis!💜🤗🌻

If you say so, then silver is sexy. I would then use the #silverpornsaturday tag 😉
Thanks for the quick comment @trumpman
i was talking about the chocolate!
That's a great gift, both the coin and treats! Love to hear about long-time relationships and people supporting each other in their mutual interests!
Last month I sent her a very nice choice 1888 Austrian Florin in a nuance that she can understand. The Macadamia nuts and especially the pink bow is the humorous reply that I can understand as being friends for so long even though we have not met face to face.
Thanks for the comment @blueeyes8960 🌸
Let me see if I understand, please correct me, do you collect silver coins? the one you published is a beauty! apart from its value in silver what is worth more is the history it has, is there a group on youtube? explain to me more please, it looks so interesting the subject!
A hug in the distance.😚😊
Yes. Both Silversaver888 and I collect certain silver coins, but we also store a part of our buying power/savings in the form of Precious Metals bullion. It is a protection hedge against currency debasement and inflation that fiat paper currency will always succumb to.
Your experience with the Venezuelan Bolivar was a result of gross mismanagement of the currency which led to hyperinflation that led to the black market use of the USD as a temporary fix. We believe the same fate awaits the US Dollar and every paper currency with no other reserve currency to fall back on.
I've even got an old 1965 2 Bolivar silver coin as an example;
https://peakd.com/piratesunday/@kerrislravenhill/the-1965-venezuelan-silver-2-bolivares-business-strike-circulation-coin
You can find the community on YouTube and search, "Silver Stacking"
We do have a 'Silver coin collecting' Community here on Hive as #silvergoldstackers if you are interested.
Happy to answer your Questions @yenmendt 🦅
You have left me very surprised, you have done a lot of research on the subject and I guess you have not only made content about the coins of my country but of other parts of the world. Your analysis is very interesting and I agree that the depreciation of money not only happens here but everywhere, hence the trend to digital money, however, I had not raised this issue with precious metals, for example, silver is highly valued by Mexican and Chilean goldsmiths.
It is a topic to reflect on, I will search on youtube, a hug in the distance.🦅🦅🦅🦅
At the point of sale, with a significant price difference between the MLs and ASEs, I tend to default to getting the Maple Leafs.
PDYou're right @kerrislravenhill.
VCBE right?
