AWESOME SILVER HAND POUR Part 2: BUFFALO

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago  (edited)

I started "collecting" hand-poured silver in 2015 and only get those produced by friends from the silver stacking community, primarily to support their craft and to promote their YouTube channels.

I showed you a beautiful hand-poured silver EAGLE in yesterday's article. If you have not seen it yet, do go check it out here !

Much like my love for the American Silver Eagle, Morgan Dollar, Peace Dollar, Walking Liberty Half Dollar, Barber Quarter, Mercury Dime, and the American icon Statue of Liberty, I gravitate towards designs in silver depicting American symbols like the Bald Eagle and the American Buffalo. It is natural and logical that my first 1 oz gold coin is the 1st year issue proof American Gold Buffalo.

I gifted the first Buffalo Silver Round to a dear friend because that silver piece was so beautiful it needed to be shared.

Yet, it is a must-have piece for me, so I ordered another one!

Isn't this a magnificent Buffalo Silver Round?!!!

And just like the Eagle Silver Round, Rik stamped this Buffalo Silver Round with "SS" for Silver Saver, to ensure that it stays in my collection, LOL!
The American Buffalo is an American icon just like the Bald Eagle.

The Bison or American Buffalo became the first national mammal joining the bald eagle as an American symbol, which is America's national emblem since 1782. The US Congress passed legislation, the National Bison Legacy Act, which names the hoofed beast as a “historical symbol of the United States” and establishes it as the nation’s landmark mammal.

Thank you for viewing this article. I will see you again soon!

Very nice piece saver. The buffalo, and the eagle you showed yesterday, are both expertly wrought and somehow share a similar pride of being. Great Americana 😎👍

I love Americana, as you may have noticed, @thedamus!

...indeed. I like it lots! 😎👍

I have yet to get a RIX piece!

He does great work always. His pours are very polished.

@silversaver888 what a gorgeous piece and it is truly amazing how detailed he can get this art. Literally it looks like a buffalo has stuck his head in your window. Thanks for sharing!!

I hate to put them away, but I've got to secure my home... for reasons I will tell you soon.

@silversaver888 I understand securing your wealth for sure, but I do hope all is alright! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend my good friend!

Luckily there are some (real) buffaloos left. They are precious as metal now.

Yeah, many of the buffalos were cross-bred with regular cattle.

Only two genetically pure American bison herds were known to exist in the U.S. — in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park and Wind Cave National Park. A recent study revealed another herd in Utah’s Henry Mountains that appear to be the only known truly wild, disease-free and free-ranging bison population left in North America

Yay! I'm so happy you got another one! I know how much you loved it ❤️ It is one of my very favorite pieces because it came from you 😊 Thank you sweetie! My SSFL 👊 ❤️
