2016 Republic of Congo Silver 1 oz Silverback Gorilla

Good evening, Steemians!

Tonight I would like to show you a pretty good looking piece of silver from my stack: It's my 2016 Republic of Congo Silver 1 oz Silverback Gorilla.

I believe I saw this coin on APMEX almost two years ago. I really liked the design, as it looks like the gorilla is staring right back at me.

I also like the border around the border of the coin. The triangular tribal symbols of the African culture look very unique.

Let me know if you picked up one or more of these coins. I also liked it because it came with its own capsule.

Nice coin and photos. I haven't kept up with any of the newer releases in the last couple of years

Once again, man ... a brilliant piece. This may be the best one you've shown so far.

I definitely think it's up there!

I have a couple of these. Nice coins, Scottsdale makes great products. You're pics were great too bud. Peace

Agreed! They do. Thank you :) I don't settle for just decent shots, so it takes me a little bit longer I suppose.

Great coins ive got 5 of each year and im waiting for 10 2017 gorillas which are out for delivery as i write. Great photos BTW im after a half decent camera, what sort of camera did you use to make these shots?

I'm just using my iPhone 7 :)

really !!! the photos look as if youve took the time to get the exposure and composition right, you must have a steady hand too as they look pin sharp. Well done id say. My 2017 gorrillas were waiting for me when i got home yesterday, they'd caused a bit of havoc, eaten the missuses house plants and snapped a few lampstands :-D The 10 Iguanas were climbing up the walls, the athenian owls were flying around upstairs and the 2016 pandas were eating the patio furniture

Hahaha what a zoo

Nice Konger!

Sweet coins, the 2015's are kickass too👍🏻

What an outstanding design! And great pictures as well, my man! Top notch! I'm not fortunate enough to have a gorilla but I appreciate your sharing it with us!

My pleasure! Thank you!

Nice coin. Don't see them in local coin store.

No, you sure wouldn't! I stopped going to LCS after I realized I wasn't getting any deals and they didn't have the variety I could get online.

Yes the only uncommon item I found was some Kitco silver round and Yamana gold plated silver round. Otherwise is more common silver coin and junk silver.

Fuckin dope!! And he's a fellow vegan haha

Haha yes he would be! haha

It's a nice coin. I gravitate toward whatever deals apmex is hosting. Yet every now and then I see a coin that's beautiful and at a good price. My most recent was the canadian steamboat wily coin. I really loved that coin. Thanks For sharing. :)

Nice!

Yeah i got 7 or 8 of the 2016 congo gorilla and 11 of the 2015 angry gorilla which was the 1st in the series...

The 2017 has just comeout
will get prob only 5 of them maybe towards end of sept..
I did hear the mintage has been reduced to 50k, like the 1st coin but the 2016 was 75k.
Great coins and like the mint packaging. scottsdale seem to be getting alot of commisions for coins since the did these..
so maybe they might do ok a little down the road.

I got this one too. It's my fav so far. Idk but I hope they do more of these!

I in on this series from the start and this the new design just had to find it

Looks good but not yet seen one in a vid yet
Deffo get 5 of these

Dam your in the ball today! Thanks for the info

Oh jeez, got 5 each of the 2016 & 2015's, both brilliant but might need 5 or 10 of these haha

Yeah they are pretty good coins i kept all mine in the omp but i seen vids of them out of the capsules and the details great. scottsdale really getting more and more commisions and putting out some great designs and no milk spots that i've seen. mintage down to 50k like first coin so thats the only downside i see. I'm vested in this series thats for sure. I'll get 5 and then decide if i'll get more..prob on my next bulk buy in late sept / oct

Followed you dude hope you don't mind

Nope, just wondering about those dragons.

Wow ok I might have to get some 2017s as well! Thanks for letting me know.

Your more than welcome all about sharing knowledge for me and gaining more and having fun along the way

nice man, these are one of the few coins I haven't picked up yet.
