I got itchy fingers this morning  and made a purchase of some SBSS products  having  bought two each of the : 
 
1 oz 2014 Don't Tread on Me Silver Proof-like
 
1 oz 2014 Standing Freedom Silver Proof-like
 
1 oz 2014 Liberty or Death Silver Proof-like Round
 
1 oz 2013 Sic Semper Tyrannis Silver Proof-like Round (Mintage 3250)
 
1 oz 2013 Argyraspides Silver Proof-like Round (Mintage 2850)
 
 
I realize that they made go the way of the various "Art Rounds" in the future, in terms of losing their current numismatic premium, but I like them.
I don't like many of their other rounds (ie Bankster) which appear cartoonish to me.
In any event, silver only needs to go to $44/oz CDN for me to "break-even" on the all-in cost (S+H and Paypal fees), and I am certain that I will be keeping at least one of each of the two , for the  longterm .
 
By the way, I came across this video by Chris Duane this a.m.

 
Note: Video is essentially a sales pitch for his products, but it seems to have worked on me..

2014 NIUE (New Zealand Mint) 1 oz Silver Proof Black Rhinocerous  (Mintage 2000) from SilverTowne.
 
Pretty stoked myself to receive  after having come across an  unboxing video, the link to which I am unable to post today for some reason.( Just type into GOOGLE: black rhinocerous unboxing, and it should be the first thing that pops up (video by Angel SilverFourtySeven fast-forward to ~03:15). It actually comes in a very cool "crate" as a box, with magnets attaching the lid

Ladies, and Gentlemen, boys and girls, those of confused or mixed genders, young and old.
 
I would like for this to be the tread where we comment on the price movements of silver.
as i saw silver drop to 11.29. I thought to myself what is going on, and who knows the answer.
 
This will be the thread to discuss, movements, up or down, causes. Lets see how this pans out.
 
as i write this silver is 11.42, up 1.1% from the low of 11.29.
 
for me i can see silver being smacked down and trying to get back on it’s feet. as it climbs it gets smacked down again.

My 5 oz silver proof-like Freedom Girls. I've displayed a 1oz gold proof libertad for comparative size purposes.

Yesterday...

1981 proof sovereign off eBay

2013 Pronghorn Antelope from woody65

Returned my non-certified 2008 1oz Gold Proof Libertad (mintage 400 ) to APMEX due to obvious coin flaws. They were helpful throughout the process. Instead of asking for a replacement I elected to add to my collection of blobs and picked up 8 10-oz silver bars (5 RCM 2014 10-oz , and 3 APMEX 2015 Year of the Ram 10-oz (I have 3 each of the 2012, 2013, and 2014 10oz bars as well)}.

Stacker+++ Posted Yesterday, 11:12 PM:
" I have to say, that ram looks a little bit like he just skipped out of the closet"       ...now that you mention it, he does look a little light in the hoof...and his posture seems to be proclaiming "we're here..we're proud"!

As I promised, however I got these late yesterday, and could not be bothered taking pics...

BEST COIN I OWN HANDS DOWN. I like this coins, then any other coin I have ever seen, Either this coin or the 2013 panda is my all time fav coin... (Side not, also loving the new Koala Design, Perth mint have knocked it out of the park with the koala's and Kook's this year) 

Also the last pic.... Is a EMPTY sheet of 30 (Chinese Panda's come in sheets of 30). These Kooks fit PERFECT in the slots in the sheet, I also have 2 tubes of 15. ( I like to keep all my silver in tubes, hence why I put the Kook's in the sheet for the meantime until I get more tubes) 



​
 

Today I received  5 1 oz proof Kooks,slipped the VAT as well 
 

TWO Mongolia 2014 1000 Togrog Chinggis Khaan Proof 1oz .999 Silver Coins (one coloured and one non- coloured).
 
...So I came across the coloured version and liked the design. I am really somewhat against any sort of coloured coins (unless perhaps they are silver with gold gilding like the 2013 Canadian Maple Leaf Forever 1 kilo coin (mintage 600) which I don't have but would love to own}, but due to the low mintage (1000) and really only subtle colour silver black/white  to the coin I made the purchase. It was only afterwards that I realized that there was a plain silver proof version (non-colourized), so I decided that I had to have that one too, and pushed the button. Even though the mintage in now 2000 I still think that is a pretty respectably low mintage .
