Want to see my poured Silver Skulls and Star Wars Masks-Who else collects poured silver.
I haven't seen a lot of poured silver being showcased here yet. This is something newer to me since I started hanging out on YouTube and I'm really getting and interest in poured silver products. There are a lot of very impressive artists doing some very unique things. I have just been starting into collecting poured silver and will showcase some more down the line if people are interested.
This first one I really like is a 2 oz Sugar Skull from Monarch Precious Metals. I bought it from colonial acres here in Canada. Sorry about the terrible photos. I just have a my Iphone camera, but hope to borrow my wife's real camera and learn to take proper photos (Perhaps @silvernova could give us all a lesson)
These next two I bought while I was at the Toronto Coin Expo, they were both poured by John Masterson from Beaver Bullion a very popular poured silver company here in Canada. The Storm trooper mask was poured in a limited amount for one of the Toronto area coin stores, Likely The Coin Shoppe, but I appear to have lost the COA. The Darth Vader Unmasked was a test product John did in a very limited run, but turns out they were not popular. I thought it was interested to see Darth Vader without his Iconic Helmet. I have seen a lot of very cool Star Wars pours and I know a lot of artist can pour pretty much anything on commission but I just haven't went there yet, because I know it's a slippery slope. (But if anyone is looking for a present for me, any Star Wars Silver is always great-this is mostly too my family who claims to read this and apparently never knows what to get me- (despite always telling them Silver))
My last poured skull is just a simple 1 oz skull with a maple leaf stamp on the forehead. This was commissioned by Canadian Silver Saver a friend of ours in the YouTube silver community for a limited resale on his site, so I had to get one. It was also poured by John Masterson from Beaver Bullion.
I just want to end with my all time favorite Poured silver item I have. My wood poured maple I showcased long ago [here].

Anyways thanks for stopping by and if you like I can certainly showcase some more poured silver products I own.

The storm trooper is quite cool, not sure about Darth Vader unamsked, looks like C3PO has got into manga and wearing a fashion face mask.
Wow looks sick, upvoted :)

They are a nice aspect to your stack man. I am not a big fan of poured myself but these pieces are pretty cool. I can see the appeal but I still prefer my shiny minted coins!
Your photo's came out good man. I hate to tell you but my secret is all in the setting the scene and making the photo look good before I take it, I am only using my Samsung S7 phone to take my photo's. I play with the lighting and focus and that's about it, then just some nice cropping is as far as I go for editing. It is a nice camera though.
I love my poured silver but I can seem to take decent pictures of the pieces I have dozens of things I would show
