A little silver post. One of my new favorite things to stack
Hi all.
I was playing with my silver today, as I do from time to time. It makes me feel like a big shot, even though I'm a small shot😔.
Anyway, I took some pics of one of my favorite things I've been able to buy lately, in fact I buy these instead of maples now when the coin shop has them, for the same price per ounce as maples!
These coins were issued to commemorate the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Quebec. They are 1.44ozt per $10.00 face minted in .925 sterling silver. So they're really nice sized! Here's a comparison next to a Morgan dollar.
So for any of you stackers out there, these coins seem to be coming onto the market lately, around here at least, and they're a fantastic and interesting way to add cheap bulk to the stack.
Alright, I took some pics of some of my fancy bullion as well, but I'll post that later, cause I love these Montreal Olympic coins so much that they deserve their own post!
Thanks for reading, and stay classy 😉
You know my dad was at the gas statuon and someone used a 1921 morgan and some other silver dollars to buy smokes. He bought it and gave it ro me. It was a fake, but the silver weight was roght. I think we sold it at a garage sale for $20 earlier this year. I should have melted it down with the others and made a nice bar. Would have been cooler.
fake but still silver? thats still a good buy. I have a "replica" morgan, but it is a 1oz bullion round and it only looks like a morgan on the one side, other side is stamped 999 silver
Nice stack. I’ve always like coins associated with an event or something historically significant
Thanks is KP. I like the commemorative coins or medallions as well, especially if they're the cheapest silver in the shop!

they look pretty nice. 925 silver is like jewelry? So it is the percentage of silver in the coin?
Yes. 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.
Those are some nice olympic commemoratives buddy! I like those very much! I'm still hugely a Morgan kind of guy, but I'd pick up a few of those!
Great looking coins @fat-elvis !! Upped !👍👍👍
thanks.

Nice! Those things are huge!
They are. I tell ya, when you start stacking them up and hold the stack in your hand, it feels fan- frickin-tastic! Thanks jbcoin!
Nothing like silverfeel
Yo fat-e, i have an original set of tbese in a box. My set has 4 coins in it and the sMe ones you have shown. I’ll post pics next couple days... cheers!
sweet. I was looking for a box for these, i found one on ebay for the original 28 coin set, but it was too spendy for my taste.
I’ve had mine since i was a kid... there’s only 4 in my set though...
