It's simple. All you have to do, is comment with an image of your favorite piece of silver or gold. It can be a coin, bar, round, fork, etc., but it has to be something you own (be honest, people). Feel free to use a picture you took yourself, or just pull one off the interweb.
Rather than using the number of upvotes to decide the winner (easily manipulated), or choosing myself (I know many of you, so that would allow favoritism to play a role), I'm letting my wife pick the winner. She doesn't know this yet... But I'm sure she'll be fine with it. Be sure to read the rules, below.
(Pro tip: My wife like animals)
Rules
One entry per account.
Entries must be submitted in the form of an image, not text.
Entries must be submitted by 11:59 PM CST on 7/12/17.
Must also upvote and resteem post, in order to be entered.
Winner will be chosen on 7/13/17, and the payout will be 5 SBD.
And finally, one of my own favorite pieces of silver (it's hard to pick just one favorite piece):
Unfortunately, I only own one of these now. Scottsdale 10 oz. "chunky" cast bar.
Good luck!
Upvoted and resteemed! It's just a simple piece of gold and kinda childish, but I really love this Hello Kitty Gold Necklace and Pendant :)

Hi @silverfortune! Here's my favorite silver: My #1 bullion is the silver eagle, second is one of the junk silver I bought at spot price from the Montreal olympics. It even has is little box that comes with it and it is a beautiful coin. But my favorite silver is the third one, junk silver of USA 1964 Kennedy half dollars. They're my best silver, the drawing, the weight, the shape, the sound, the iconic figure, Liberty written on it, I just can't have enough of theses.

On my first trip to South Korea after being reunited with my Korean family, my brother who was in The R.O.K. Marine Corps at the time gave me his specially made dog tags composed of silver(dog tags and chain). I am not sure of the purity, but if it is anything like their gold jewelry(24 carat), then it is possibly .999. It weighs in at 3.19 troy oz. The hallmark on the fastener clip says silver. Either way, this is my favorite piece of silver because it was given to me by my Brother, Yoon Hak Joong 21 years ago.

I love the most recent coin the most so far. Its the SS Gairsoppa coin. Its one ounce of silver and I love it because of the backstory of where the silver came from,from a sunken WW2 British Ship. Here are some pictures of the coin
The little Mark on the bottom of the SS gairsoppa side has since faded away but still love the coin.

I know this is not exactly what you asked for but this is how my silver came so, so long ago. I invested in silver in 2003 and cashed out my 401k to buy a couple of these. I was able to get in at around 6 dollars an oz and have never opened them.
Peace,

Very cool competition. My favorite coin is a Swedish Coin in commemoration of Knut Agathon Wallenberg (19 May 1853 – 1 June 1938) He was a Swedish banker and politician, he was also a Knight of the Order of the Seraphim. The Wallenberg family line is still some of the most successful investors and entrepreneurs in Sweden today.

Real money always feels good in my hands! The sound, the weight... True value that doesn't vanish within months... The thing I find funny from here in Canada, I try to buy a 2$ coffee with 5$ 1 ounce silver maples (which are legal tender, so by law they're obliged to accept it to their face value) and no one takes them! "It's too complicated to change them" last answer I got. Clueless sheeps! The funnier: A 6 pack of cheap beer with 1 once maple gold coin stamped as 50$. The owner told me: We don't take those! lolll Legal tender 50$ and the value of gold in it at that time: 1700$ can. Ok! Do you accept fiat notes? Oh yes, this is money... Great coin you get there, I think we're getting closer to use those as money again!

It was a tough choice for me but this is my 2012-s Reverse proof PR70 silver eagle and my phone camera does not do it justice. When I saw this at my LCS last year I knew I had to have it. I love silver eagles in general but the reverse proof is just gorgeous. The frosty backround really makes the rest of the coin stand out. My Reverse proof 50th anniversary Kennedy half was a close second. Ill feel better when I make a post about that lol!
