My only "year of the.....". Time to start collecting the set
So now 2018 is well and truly upon us I've set myself my stacking goals and got all my stack out for a touch and feel session. I was looking at some of the very random assortment of silver I have. Nothing matches and the closest thing I have to a series of coins is a small date run of Chinese pandas 2013-2016.
Then I came across this little beauty a 2015, MS69, deep proof like, "year of the sheep" by the Royal mint:
The only reason I bought this coin was the fact that it was a 2015, the year my son was born, In fact most of my coins are dated 2015...
The Royal mint began to mint luna coins in 2014. The 2015 year of the sheep has a mintage of just 188,888 so was not a bad purchase at the time and with a grade of MS69 its up there with some of the best.
Wish me luck in my search. I definitely will get a few more before the year is out.
Nice coin and cool that it has significant switch the year your son was born. That coin’s a keeper. Happy New Year!
When I first started, it was the only way I could justify spending a lot of money on silver if I made the Mrs believe I was buying them cause they were the year our son was born. Lol
A mintage of 188,888? I’ve never seen that before!
Nice sheep! 😆😂🤣
Thank ewe very much
I want one.
Yea it would be worth getting a set of 69s together, im just getting 1 of each year, got the mule tho which is nice to have, my set will have 13 coins by the end.
When I grow up I want to be just like you!! Lol did you buy them new or on the second hand market? The majority of my stack are ebay purchases
Im a nibbler where silver is concerned, i dont buy bulk i find buying at least 1 coin a week as a reward for my hard work has built quite a nice stack since 2011. I buy alot of my coins now from silvertrader.co.uk, good place to get them one at a time. I do use Ebay, got all the backdated kooks off ebay and some harder to get coins. Yorkshire bullion and Chards are always good.
Very nice that you got that for your son's birth year. And it's a good coin as well.
Why thank you, thank you very much!! (that was my very bad elvis impersonation)
Excellent, I could see the lip curl in my mind, lol
I even gave a little shimmy of the hips. It was a wondrous thing to behold! Entertaining with just a little bit of sexy going on..
The fact that most of your coins are from 2015 and your son was born that year... if he grows up smart he'll thank you for it!
Btw, there are some little cute kid metal detectors these days :p
The plan is to teach him well and support him enough that he never need to get trapped in the "debt and death cycle" of bank loans and credit card debts
Robert Kyosaki calls it the Rat Race, and it is my mission to do the same for my kids one day.
