A Little Silver To Stare At While You Wait.......

While we are all waiting around for the for the biggest damn event that's taken place through Steemit, I thought I'd show a couple coin shop pick-ups from my week in Phoenix.

First up, a lovely Johnson Matthey bar

Still foundry wrapped even.

Next up, my first piece from the Scottsdale Mint

Here is what the mint has to say about this beauty: Spanish minted cob coins were widely circulated throughout the 16th-18th centuries and are remembered for their crude, hand-struck and hand-trimmed production style. They were the original gold and silver rounds and were referred to by many (most famously pirates) as pieces of eight" or "doubloons". The Omnia 1-oz silver bullion round is our tribute to the classic design.

This is the first time I have seen one of these and I like it quite a bit.

Well, I'm traveling home today and have scheduled this post on the awesome eSteem app but I hope to home by 11pm GMT! I'm looking forward to the party on discord.

I hope you got your tickets, good luck in the raffle!!!
