I love collecting silver. Your articles are inspiring me to stack more and to write some posts on the coins I have collected.
I have always liked Morgan Dollars. My grandfather collected them for years and I ended up with some of them after he passed away.
Thanks for the great post
You can't really go wrong with Morgan silver dollars, some of them are worth a lot of money.
Yeah man you should do some posts on your collection, makes for some good content.
Nice one! It makes me itchy to buy some more coins myself, but I told myself I need to wait until we moved to Spain OR at least have everything done and dusted regarding closing accounts etc, so no hidden costs will appear :) as I can't pay these with silver rounds lol.
So keep em coming these posts, at least I can drool on other people's purchases :)
That is totally understandable, I will keep on posting I have some more to show and some on the way still so you will be seeing them soon.
nice nice :)
I really hope to find a nice local store there honestly, I would love to check them in person instead of online-only.. but that's for later concerns haha
It's quite nice and it's the first time I have seen an African Leopard Silver piece.

Thanks @jfang003, they started the series in 2017 each year is different but there are only 25k minted each year so it's not as known as some of the more popular coins.
Scottsdale scores again with a fine design of a coin.
Thanks for sharing again @maddogmike

They do some amazing work and it blows me away all the different Countries they mint for.
Why is the head of Queen Elizabeth on the coin. Very curious! Thanks for sharing.
At one point Ghana was under British rule but they have long since gained their independence so I have no idea.
Yes, that was my thinking too! Thanks for sharing!
Damn, I want that leopard coin lol
You get that from QuickSilver?
Yes, this was one of the auto shiped coins for last month, it's also in the store.
You are right Mike, the photo just does not do it justice, It is a nicely detailed round. Nice round, indeed. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks John, there is no substituting holding silver coins or rounds in your hand. Pictures can look cool but in person holding it is very addicting.
This looks good and I am sure many would like to have one of this.
Thank, it does have a cool look to it and there are only 25k World wide.
This is like the real world nemesis of dogecoin. I think an African Leopard wins every time! Nice addition to your collection. I picked up my first bit of silver about a year ago. I tucked it away in my safe and haven't really looked at it since I posted about it. I found your post on List Nerds
That's pretty funny, yes the leopard would destroy the dodge coin dog. lol
I started stacking almost 3 years ago and have had an addiction every since.
That is awesome. I want to get some more, but I have been looking for some really specific pieces. Haven't found exactly what I want yet.

What pieces are you looking for maybe I can help you find them.
My nephew is really into historic war stuff, so I kind of wanted some commemorative silver pieces.
I haven't seen a lot of war stuff really but there is a little out there.
Check out this 5oz quarter I did a post about back in November.
I think that is the only war silver that I own, but after looking around
there are a few other pieces out there but yeah, your choices are limited.
Yeah, that is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Thanks for the info!
Such a pretty shiny! I love the leopard print part so much!
I agree, it does have a very nice look with the different contrasts in the design. You should see it when you are holding it in your hand, you will really love it.
Ooh, I bet! Silver definitely has that affect on people lol!
I like the reverse with the Leopard print!
Yes, me too. This coin has a really cool look between the frosted area's on the proof like finish.
Silver gets an automatic upvote, both here and on LISTNERDS! SHINY SHINY!!!
hahaha Thanks, yeah I check out some cool looking silver posts from several other people all the time.
Your collection is growing rapidly. Thanks for sharing.
I am trying to keep it growing all the time, I get at least 4 ounces of silver every month sometimes more. Thanks for your comment.
You are a great collector...
Post read from Listnerd.. You have my support
Thanks, I try to keep silver coming in month after month.
Another great addition to your silver collection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bob, I agree it has a really cool look to it.
nice coin!!!
Thanks!
