Silver coins: my latest order arrived
In addition to being into crypto-currencies, I'm also a gold and silver bug. A couple of silver coins arrived in my mailbox today, that I had ordered from JM Bullion, and I'll show you my unboxing pics.
I had ordered their 2016 5 oz Republic of Chad Egyptian Relic Series King Tut Silver Coin.
As you can see here, the box is absolutely stunning, I love the egyptian aesthetic!
Opening up reveals the coin. Most silver I buy is nice and shiny, but I love the worn, aged look of this coin.
Here is the coin out of the box. It has a simple and elegant look, I like the textures.
This beauty is a full 5 ounces of pure .999 fine silver. It has a face value of 3000 Francs, but I don't care about that.
This coin is thick! It has a very satisfying heft when held in your hand, also note the patterns on the edge, a nice touch.
And of course, I couldn't just get one; these two will add 10 ounces of pure silver to my stack.
Here is the link where I purchased from, only 4.50 over spot, not too bad.

The coins are definitely beautiful @neoxian
I'm hoping one day to begin a coin collection. It's really the only thing I'd probably ever hoard. LOL
I love to collect silver. I've got a 2012 lady liberty silver coin put up now and plan to by a new one soon. I was thinking of a silver coin with a panda on it.
Incredibly cool!!!
Love the sound and feel of silver !
Very interesting coins indeed!!
That is beautiful coin.
Great design and wonderful coin.
