I Often Find Myself Asking ..

What do I have to do in order to get Molly excited about silver? Then I think, silly question. Dogs don’t get excited about silver. Well, not unless it’s the edible kind… And I haven’t found that kind yet. I’ve been looking but I haven’t found it. So instead I just give Molly a plain old cookie and tell her that it’s silver. She can’t understand the human language so well so she doesn’t know any different. Hahaha

All Joking Aside ..

Because obviously the photo above kind of sums up Molly‘s entire thought process on stacking silver.. She just doesn’t give a hoot! If anything she looks quite disturbed that I had held up this rather large coin to her head. She probably doesn't care so much for my financial planning, retirement investment goals, and building wealth through stacking precious metals, BUT.. she did give it a slight chance of sorts.

She did end up giving it a couple of sniffs to make sure that it wasn’t edible

Then she quickly turned her head to the side and looked out the window as if she didn’t really care. Actually she was probably waiting for me to move the coin away so she could go back to sleeping in her bunkbed. It’s a nice warm spot to kind of chill out and relax in the late afternoon. She can’t quite make her way up into the soft comfy spot any longer, so I give her a hand and lift her up into the bed and wait till she’s done and lift her back out. If you are the parent of a senior animal, then you’ll know what I’m talking about. Sometimes things that were so easy to do in our younger life are now a bit harder. Sometimes we just need a hand doing them.

I Recently Picked Up This Sweet Coin ..

It’s a big boy too! I wasn’t looking to purchase this but I couldn’t resist since the price was under spot. Obviously a mistake on their part but who am I to question the price? It was still a decent price I’m sure but definitely under the current market price of silver. One can’t pass up those kind of deals.

This 2015 5 ounce silver coin is part of the America The Beautiful (ATB) series.. That the United States Mint had produced since 2010. The series ended in 2021 when all 50 states were represented. I do believe that the district of Columbia as well as other territories were represented on coins as well. It would be quite the undertaking to collect all the coins in the series, not to mention the cost to acquire them all. I don’t think that’s something I want to venture into. Like I said, the only reason I purchased this was because the price was so good.

On the reversed side of the coin.. There is an image of a turkey in-flight. As described on the United States mint website, the wild turkey is soaring over the pine trees of the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. I’d rather like the design of this coin; The turkeys flight feathers spread out toward the top of the coin, while several pines and tufts of grass frame it’s flight.

On the obverse side of the coin, is the traditional George Washington bust as often seen on the US quarters. Below I took a photo of this 5 ounce silver coin next to a 1957 silver Washington quarter. By comparing the two you can see how huge this coin is! It’s a beast!!!

The edge of the coin is smooth unlike the traditional quarter that has reeds along its edge. Stamped on the side of the coin is .999 fine silver 5.0 ounce. Plain and simple I suppose was the purpose. Nothing exciting along the edge of the coin. I like reeding. I kind of wish the coin had that detail. Oh well not my decision!

I purchased this coin from an individual collector.. And not JM Bullion or other places where I typically grab my coins and silver. The person did however keep the big plastic flip and shipped the coin inside of it. I hate those flips and I didn’t even know they made them so large. It was quite the surprise and the first thing I threw out. Good riddance to the flip! After doing some research I did find out they do make capsules large enough to enclose these, and it may be something I’m interested in picking up.

One last shot of this big boy in hand. It has some decent weight to it! 5 ounces to be exact, lol. Silver is pretty awesome to hold. I always enjoy the weight of the metal. 10 ounces would be better, but I’ll settle for 5 this time.

What do you think Molly?

Nope. Still NOT Interesting

“Sitting in a corner, I live like a toad
Oh! How I love my room: my tiny abode!
Here I wake up; and I sleep in here
The world far away; yet virtually near
Not that I'm jailed in this place of grace
Just don't want to face another face”
