Hand Poured 3oz from the DON @raybrockman

Hello stackers, it has been a long time since I posted about silver but I got this piece from the DON @raybrockman about a month back and never got round to uploading any pictures of it yet. I did an unboxing video but im lazy to edit it and picture pictures are better than looking from a video plus im lazy to edit a video, did I say that already?

Shout out to @welshstacker for taking UK delivery and forwarding it on to me.

So, here it is, are should I say here he is

Like is said, I've had this a month already so I and Jimmy are already the best of friends. As you can see, Jimmy is blackened which gives him a really nice unique finish but most importantly, Jimmy can be handled so I part so blu tac on his bum and stuck him to the centre pole that holds my PC screens in place. Here is just chilling beside "Usain" the 2oz bullet I got from @monsterjamgold many moons ago. They seem to get along and Jimmy likes his spot where I blow spliff smoke in his face all day long. One time, he was so high, he fell off his spot but he was ok, he's made of solid silver so I put more blu tac on his bottom and he has been there since.

Pictures are not the best but you can see from the 360 that Jimmy is a chunky boy and when it comes to silver the chunkier the better, the weight of this small bundle of joy is a fantastic feeling in the hand. I have no idea how Ray did this, im guess using sand moulds are something similar. If you look at the pictures from the side, you can see how 3D the face is, especially the eyes and lips. He's even done him a nice set of teeth as well. A truly amazing gift from the DON, this will remain in my possession until im an old man with grey hair still sharing at it a hundred times a day stuck in between my screens.

Not been stacking that much the past 2 years, I got the crypto fever and FOMO'd during the bear market. I am watching the gold to silver ratio, I have a target to convert some silver to gold when it hits 50-1, by some I main about 80% of it. I would like to convert it all to gold sovereigns and play the long game with the hopes to convert the gold back into silver when it's over 100-1 again. Im not silly and expect this to take about 30 years. If we never see a 100-1 ratio again and I have gold, im not caring and I plan to live more than 30 years it happens 😎

Those gaps look small on the chart but they are a few months long each giving lots of time to sell and rebuy. I'll need to change my name to goldstacker

Most of my silver stack is gov bullion but many different types all carrying different premiums. This is very pretty to look through but a problem when it comes time to sell it quickly with a lot of work haggling with people with prices, reply back to time wasters, etc. After I convert my silver to gold, I'll deal with 1 coin and that's it just to keep everything simple. My fade for series has long burned out and im sorta only interested in the actual metal now. For gold, I pick the gold sovereign. They are just under a 1/4 oz each and can be bought very close to the spot if you buy pre-owned which is what price you'll get when your selling whether you bought new are used. Gold sovs are the most liquid gold coin in the UK and could be sold all day long in decent volumes. For silver, being from the UK, I go with Britannia's for the same reasons, they are close-ish to spot but 100% the easiest bullion coin to resell in bulk. It's nice to have a big collection of different coins and editions but at the end of the day, silver is silver and gold is gold.

I still always hold a personal forever silver stack, I have a lot of stuff I would not wanna sell. Gifts, hand pours, Monster Raffle wins, treat coins I bought myself and stuff like that.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my post. Shoutout to Ray again for pouring me this brilliant new smoking buddy

Stack on ta fook

Ha! That thing is sweet! He looks perfectly content having you blow smoke in his face all day. I'm sure it won't bother him in the slightest. You're now the second post today who has posted about a "friend" sending him silver. I'll say to you what I said to the other guy, I need to find me a friend like that. lol Thanks for sharing.

Ray for the win as usual. Don’t see him around much anymore though. He has always been super good to me.

I used to date this guy named @silverstackeruk way back in Steemit days. I wonder if you're related?

Ray does some cool pours buddy. Cheers!
