Gorgeous skull and crossbones round from @BackyardBullion. Really gorgeous, I love the weight and how nicely it sits in the hand. Showed to my partner (another Black Sails fan) and I swear there was an audible "Squee!"

Put in my final purchase for 2017 for 25oz of silver.
That takes me to 523oz accumulated in 2017, and a total of 1325oz. 
I also have 1oz of gold.
 
Will have additional financial commitments next year but I think I should be able to add roughly another 500oz or whatever the equivilent in gold is the GSR moderates back to a level I'm happy to buy at. Bring on the zombie apocalypse!
