Silverbugs: Overpriced silver part 2: electric boogaloo
Hey Steemit, it's that time again. The time where I go out and purchase extravagantly overpriced (but stunningly beautiful) silver coins. Someone has got to do it, so I'm taking one for the team!
The first coin is from goldsilver.com. It's the Athenian Owl from their "Modern Ancients" series.
So reflective! It was hard to avoid taking my own picture in the shiny surface of this gorgeous coin. Here we have an owl alighting on a branch and the word "Wisdom". Buying silver is wise.
From this side, we can we have 10 troy ounces of beautiful 0.999 silver. The lion and bull with the coat-of-arms under the message "Free markets, Free people". We need more free markets and free people. A great big coin with a great message.

On to the next coin, here we have a silver coin with a golden image of Mercury on the surface. I love the star map in the background.
On the obverse side, we see a full picture of Mercury next to the queen. This coin is from Niue Island with a face value of 50$.
Lovely design here, this coin is 6 oz of pure 0.999 silver..wait what? 6 oz? What is this sorcery?
Get out of town!!! This isn't a coin! This is a frikken cylinder
Damn that's a phat coin, check out Mercury's feet running all over the world. This coin is mind blowing.

16 ounces of pure silver added to my stack.
I like it! I like it alot!
Sometimes you just have to say "what the heck" and buy those pretty coins. I might have morphed into a weight-stacker, but my roots are as a coin collector. I've always appreciated the beauty of coins.
You are a noble knight Sir Stacksalot.
Those are beautiful!!
Very beautiful coins. Thanks for sharing the link and info.
That's the way to get silver, in style!
Those coins Look so awesome . Wish I had Those 😁😜😜
Very interesting. My father in Law collected silver dollars, and we have them. They were all circulated ones though, so I don't think they will be worth much.
If they are pre 1965 then they are still silver coins and have value.
I think most are and some are from the 1800s too.
Hi @neoxian I've written an article about you, check it out if you can, thanks.

good information about this coin sir i didnot intersted in coins before this but if ur opinion is good for this sure i will intrest it
I thought the high priced coins were upper twenties and lower thirties. I usually try to stick with upper teens and lower twenties because I think they will be easier to sell at higher profit margins in the future. I have some high premium coins and hope they will increase in value some day. A coin is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. I see videos of people claiming what their stack is worth based on eBay sale priced items. I think you have to go by what people are actually placing bids on and what the amount is to discover the true value. That is what they are willing to pay and true value.
For example there are 2 on eBay on bids and one ends tomorrow and it is currently at $251.00 way below the value. I cant wait to see what it sells for. Thanks for posting very impressive coins!!
It sold for $409 !!
Smart purchase and investment @neoxian

I also love collecting gold and silver coins, especially the limited edition ones.
It is easy and guaranteed return in the future. Just buy and save 😃
