It's Time! Valhalla Poured Silver Bar Giveway Time!!!
I've decided it's time! Hopefully whoever wins this sweet little guy has it in their hands by Christmas! Rules are below, read and follow them to be entered, please!
This is the front or obverse of the bar, features a Jera Rune that depicts a good year or harvest. Also features are some beautiful pour lines.
The back or reverse features its weight (1 Troy Ounce) and the fineness (.999)
This bar was poured by hand in the Carson City, Nevada area by Valhalla Silver. His pours and other items are some of my favorite pieces of silver and now I'm giving everyone on Steemit a chance at owning their very own!

Sweet contest. What I like about the Vikings is that they took no bullcrap. When Erik the Red was kicked out of Scananavia he went ahead and made a new land in Iceland, then figured why stop there so his boy Leif Eriksson went on to Greenland and eventually they came to Newfoundland them down to Maine. There's even some Runic carvings on Georgia and South Carolina!
This was long before Columbus! That's badass.
And I like silver for the same reason I like Bitcoin, because it's an alternative to the establishment currency. I think we're all a bit Viking in the stacker world😎
I concur, we stackers are all a bit Vi-KING! :D
Best comment evah!
Hell yea! You're in dude!
What I just adore about silver are all the places you can use it to decorate your body with....
like a Dolce & Gabanna Silver Corset
If I win, please send it to @battleaxe, StoneWallStrategic !
She's my #steemsilvergold recruit and she needs some SHINY!
🤣🤣 didn't even know that existed! Learn something every day!
You're in!
I love it. I'd trade my Steel Boned Battle corset any day. And toss in my Brocaded Red rose Corset too.

It's not like our follows and updates are exactly "state of the art" yet, in our Beta-max release LOL!!! :D
My bad, I figured posting it here would just end up lost in the shuffle as well and figured folks would just swing by my blog to check! Duly noted for next time though!
My heritage is Irish and my Wife’s is Scandinavian so we call our little son Leon: the Viking Leprechaun — both of which are steeped in the lust for the shiny!
Hahaha! That is awesome... I see Halloween costume in the making with that name!
You're in dude!
Are you kidding me? I AM A VIKING!!! And I love silver.
100% Upvote for giving away cool shit!
True Story:
My mom has an Irish maiden name. She was told they were Irish through and through her whole life. Nobody ever questioned it. My mom is fair skinned and blue eyed blonde hair. But she is tall. 5'10" which is tall for a woman. Myself and my brothers are all 6 footers, big burly looking mofos. So my dad paid for my mom to have a DNA genealogy test a few years back. Turns out she is 60% Scandinavian and not Irish! She called me up and said "Son, your a Viking." I said "No Shit!" I call my blue eyed, blonde haired daughter my Viking Princess.
If you think about it the Norsemen invaded Europe and Ireland and Scotland for hundreds of years. So its easy to imagine a lot of Scandinavian blood running around with Irish surnames. One of my ancestors got knocked up by a Viking marauder and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Just Kidding. This is my favorite shirt.
Those crazy Norsemen running all over the place spreading their seed!! Haha, thats really cool, buddy. Love the shirt!
You're in!
Nice looking piece of silver there. I've always wondered if the vikings made it to Australia.
With as much as those guys got around I wouldn't be surprised!
You're in!
@stnwllstrtgc I Like Silver because Old Vintage Bars are like a Play Ground for me to find some ERROR that either Engelhard or Johnson Matthey made when they manufactured their bars...............................
Nice! I haven't personally got too into engelhard JM stuff, but I do like looking at the vintage stuff!
You're in!
great pal, thank you - v+r
Like right here, not many people know what v + r means. U are missing out on a great opportunity to share a little bit about ur service.
Have a pre-loaded message for whenever u resteem that says u are a paid resteem service that also rewards you a bigger upvote than it cost to use the service. U could use that as ur slogan buy a resteem for free... because ur upvote is worth more than the cost of the resteem. I think people would use a service like that often, basically u are getting something for free. :)
i am making this service to enjoy firstly and to gain loyal friends,
i had bad time in the last 2 years of my life bcz of my x-wife
i am just trying to survive, so when i support anyone in upvoting +190% i am actually not losing, i am gaining a friend, a loyal friend, and the fees is just a commercial thing.
therefore, i thank you again for your really good advice about the v+r , though, i need more fees count, but my power still not toooooo much strong, so slowly i grow in power and fees payers, as if i jump to so many payers, then i will not be able to fulfill my commitment towrads them, and as i am a man who fears god, i will not scam my friends,,,,
so i kepp collecting slowly new fee payers one new per week.
cheers mate
Great looking bar @stnwllstrtgc! I have always loved silver, as a hedge against inflation and a great way to save for the future. I have bars and coins that my Grandfather and father passed down, at nearly face value to maybe 3x face value. They saved this silver away in case they needed it, and passed it along when they could. I really love the look of the hand poured bars and the primitive looking rounds. Thanks, upvoted and following!
That is so awesome that your dad and grandfather saved and passed down silver. I hope to be able to do that for my children and grandchildren!
You're in!
I like how the Vikings arnt afraid of dying because they will go to Valhalla 🗡
In all the old Norse stories Valhalla sounds so badass...
You're in my man!
