What is your most prized piece of silver?

[Mrpound]

Probably this.. first coin I ever got graded and me and the misses spent hours trying to get it… funny memories 😌

[MJCOIN]

Probably this silver 1 kilo Engelhard bar.  I do have a 100 oz Una & Lion bar too, which is with Royal Mint in storage and I've never seen in the flesh.

I'd keep that too

[Johnboysilver]

These I just love 👀👀

My first hammered coin, not worth much. I got it for about £10 back in 1994. Not even that pretty, Edward I 10A Canterbury mint.

Then Braveheart was released a year or two later and I thought, "Hey I've got a Patrick McGoohan coin".

I normally hate any coloured silver, but I love the different Aussie lunar dragon coloured. I have a soft spot for those in my stack

Oh, that is such a difficult question.  Everything in my silver collection is ultimately disposable but I would actually have a hard time of getting rid of anything!

But if I had to choose what stayed:

 

In terms of 21st century fine silver bullion, it would probably come down to the following:

2018 10 oz Valiant coin

10 oz Una & The Lion bar

2021 1 kg Queens Beasts completer coin

Honorable mention: 2018 1 oz Oriental Border Britannia coin

 

And in terms of numismatic UK predecimal silver coins - it would probably come down to the following:

1930 Wreath Crown

1887 Double Florin

1821 Half Crown with heavier garnished reverse

1837 Half Crown

1856 Gothic Florin

1900 Florin

1932 Florin

Honourable mentions: 1885 halfcrown, 1685 shilling, 1723 shilling (etc)

 

So basically I would try and keep 10 items and part with everything else... maybe 🙃

Opposite to your question: my least prized silver is a tube of Canadian Maples. Currently “buried”, but here is a pic nonetheless…

Good luck finding my hiding place 😆

I bought the set 10 years ago for about £350-£400 on a reputable auction site. All intact, and rare. Even back then, I was surprised I only had to outbid once.

For me, the most prized silver is the 1oz Asahi  silver bar.  It’s the very first precious metal I bought that got me started on the journey of PM acquisition.  So it’s mainly because of sentimental reason.

Can't pick just one, but a few -

• 2013 royal birth - because it's like the highest quality proof silver depiction of pistrucci's iconic design. 
• 1912 British trade dollar in almost uncirculated condition - because of it's history and imagery and condition
• Scotsdale aliens!!!!  they are just psycadellic...  brilliant.
• Perth mint rectangular dragon proofs  - the first proof coins i collected in a full set

Could go on... and on... I think about 1/2 of my stack I couldn't sell in my lifetime and the other half is pure investment with no attachment.

[Colnago]

Do limited edition Libertad proof sets count?

I have 2 sets 2015 & 2019, 1/20-5oz boxed & stunning …. 250 mintage

Oh, I have a 2011 graded pf69 set for sale at the mo.. 1/20-1oz 

[bearandhog]

[Scaffstacker]

Probably my recent vintage purchase a 16 oz Johnson matthey bar from 1968 supplied in a little wooden bullion crate It also came with its original purchase receipt,

second to this is my engelhard 10 oz waffleback bar.

im exactly the same , got the full set and the only coloured coins i own .

[watchesandwhisky]

This is my most prized piece, weighs about 100 grams but its value (of what I am unsure) is certainly well in excess of the silver content, I just think its such a cool peice of modern military's history. Purchased from the man himself who was relocating to Australia. 

I have a digital copy of the citation - this was taken from that.

"Royal Signals RSI silver medal awarded to SGT RH Richardson in 2016. Awarded for his role in providing close communication support during civil unrest and the conduct of flawless tactical operations to preserve sensitive material frequently whilst under direct personal threat."
