Ol' Silverbeard is back, with another wee tale of recent plunder. Today i found myself drawn to the bullion store in town, as i had siphoned off some scurvy fiat notes from the trading parlours of ye ol' Blockchain.
With the damn things literally losing me money while they were in my possession, i knocked-stepped as quick as my good leg and me peg would transport me. I arrived and made some small chat so's to have them at ease -- i spied a 5oz poured vintage Engelhard for $350 !!! Ali Babba and Kalamazoo thar be a steep premium. I also saw some old 10oz JM bars (reverse loafs) that were $350. Zoinks! I tells ya, my cockles were shrinking back in horror, as me old rapier was rattling in its sheath!
I opted for the fiver they were parlaying for generic spot $120 cad
Nothing likes a fiver to makes ya want a little more! So i dug into the bags that the fools call junk and came up with these beauties!
And since the collection of loot knows no borders nor time, these too had to be purloined. Afterall, it was me n GA getting back to our nefarious past -- fyi, we rocked hard in the sixties!
And finally the coin splash -- of our war canoe and m2tm's pocket piece.
T'was a fine day for being a pirate! Y'Arrrr!!!
And now let me sing you a song about the Captain's platter, Yo ho ho!
There have been 4 people who have left correct answers in Steemit Chat -- 13/13's! and one who is currently sitting at 11/13
Get out yer spyglass @edxserverus! If you squint hard enough, you'll see land!
Presently, @owenwat, @kouloumos, @knowledge-seeker and the chief collector among us @phelimint have submitted correct answers and will be entered into my "Speed Round." Gentlemen, get out your muskets and put in your earplugs! This one is going off with a bang!!!
💥💥🌴🌞🌴💥💥
Tomorrow, Sunday, at high noon (or as close as i can make it here in Vancouver on Pacific Time) i will post 1 final question. The first one to answer correctly in the comments of that post will be the winner of me treasure!
Good luck to all! But especially to my fellow marauders at #teamcanada
And the fine folks at
Of course in me pirate's heart i do desire to see a fellow pirate claim the prize!
Y'Arrr!!!
It's too bad Stax hadn't entered yet 😳😳😳
C'mon girl, you can play too!
Avast ye Skull-duggering dawgs! May the wind be at your backs and the sun shining on the sea as your good fortune awaits!
Cheers friends! from @thedamus

Well, I see some good shit here, that NWT bar is a classic and as far as the junk, well nothing better than have a piece of real money that our governments once produced. See they don't like real money. Fucking nice score buddy. I need to send you some crypto so you can shop for me, looks like you have a good store to buy from... keep stacking that shit buddy...

Cheers Ray!
The main spots i go to are Vancouver Bullion and Currency Exchange (vbce.com) and J&M Coin and jewellery on Broadway in Vancouver. Both have product lists on their webpages — although J&m’s is a bit of a bastard to figure out first time...
goog ‘em
vbce is a currency xchange too so they price their bullion in usd too.
Keep on stackin’ buddy!

The reason i have the number of votes i do, as well as the payout, is because i am using the available boosting services on this platform — just like most everybody else. However, perhaps unlike most other people, i have invested a significant amount of my own money into Steemit.

Thanks goldkey! The US coins were $17 per dollar of face value, the Canadian ones $14ish in Canadian dollars. US is 90% and the Can is 80% silver. I just love the fact that people used to actually have money in their pockets!

I've just startet getting an interest for collecting coins. I would love to get hold of an coin from the roman empire. Just to hold and have something in my hand that is 2000 years old would be mindblowing. I'm also interested in Silver coins. Could you recommend any sites where I can read and learn about collecting silver coins?

Nice! @thedamus. You are going to get that silver bar at a deeper discount after this post! Those are some hefty premiums on the older bars for sure. I can usually pick them up at a decent price at my local shop, but man ya gotta be fast!
