Greetings from Silver Enthusiast in Australia

[OldCoin]

Greetings new to forum after seeing YT video today, thanks for the great site. I thought it would be cool to join you.

I love everything silver and been buying silver since early 2000's, I believe in anything physical not into fake money, I like money from the days of old. My favorite coins are the .925 and .500 pre decimal Australian and British coins I have. I think my love for silver grew from when I used to sell silver rings at the markets years ago and being a treasure hunting metal detectorist. Later buying silver coins and a few bars, then selling at a loss and then buying back again at a premium, at least I'm well ahead in general on the spot prices now.

I hope to share the passion and even make a few friends on distant and same shores on the forum. Thanks again for the forum and Happy stacking everyone and God Bless from Australia.

You will have to wait for little while before you can upload pictures. This is to stop spammers on the forum. I think one you get few community points it will allow you to do so. Not sure about dark mode unless you computer or browser has it, I dont think the forum has one but one of the mods maybe to answer that.

I think if you upgrade to silver premium you can upload a profile pic....

You should be able to edit your profile photo now.

There was a dark theme for Platinum Premium Members in the past, currently there isn't as there are some theme issues that need to be resolved, but we can look at re-adding a dark theme for Platinum Premium Members in the future. In the meantime you may be able to enable a dark mode on your device which may add some limit dark mode sections when browsing the forum.

If you upgrade to Premium Membership you will also be able to edit your cover background header photo on your profile page as well as other benefits listed here. 

Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to private message me for assistance.

Thanks for the prompt help. The browser I'm using BRAVE is set to dark but this site does not view as such, hence my question.

I'd like to become a paid member in the near future, for now it's a pleasure to explore the site.

I will be uploading some pictures of a recent purchase when it arrives in a couple days, needless to say I'm excited 

Thanks again

I just paid a full year Silver Membership to support the forum and hopefully take advantage of the paid members only section, however I have some doubts that it will benefit members in my region to the same degree as in UK, but perhaps somebody can expand. Is there any section for my region I thought only USA, Can, UK, EU.

I have some bulk lots of Australian Pre Decimal Coins to sell, and I'm keen to swap some Perth Mint Koalas form 2010/11 for coins I want in my collection from other regions. I work it out eventually. Do people do swaps here?
