what was your first silver buy

[CultureOfCurrency]

First order had a silver buffalo that I gave away whenever I got monetized on YT (very sentimental lol). First premium was the Puffin of Alderney coin! I have documented all of my purchases on YT! Such a fun journey!

Don’t remember the 1st, but the last was the 2018 Eagle, from your part of the world in Beaumont, Texas, whilst on a ‘shooting visit!’ 
Now, it’s all about Gold for me, but recognise that Silver, despite the difference in value, enables the collector to get the latest designs for a fraction of the price. Photo shows all my ‘keepsakes’…..

My first buy was at the ATH in 2011, 2 100oz bard for $9600. I had just cashed out a 50k 401k that was invested in the banking sector and had lost more than half. This was the start of a 12 year obsession to bring down my average and re-evaluate my financial decisions. Since that time I started two businesses, invest mostly in them and a small amount in index funds. Now I am sitting at an average of $15/oz mostly from buying collections during covid near the $13 mark.

It appears I never gave a serious answer to this! 

Physical in your hands possession - 50oz Silver Brits from Chards in 2020. 
Prior to that was silver in BullionVault in 2014/2015.

March 2011 ... 100 1 ouncers from a European central bank at ...zero!

And it's quite a fun story.  The gold price was going up and up ...the central bank shop had commemorative 1/4oz gold coins for sale and never changed the price. When the scrap value became more than the sale price, it was a no brainer to buy, walk down the road to the dealer, sell at a profit, walk back to central bank shop and repeat.

When the gold coins ran out, it was time to head for their "party pack" of 1/4oz gold commems and 1 oz silver commems.

I went down with my daughter and a sledge one Saturday morning, loaded some boxes, hauled them home, stripped out the gold and sold to the dealer and got the silver commems for free

My first silver buy was a 10oz Johnson Matthey bar bought with money scrimped and saved from birthday presents and earned by mowing my neighbors' lawns when I was young.  I still remember the coin shop I bought it from.  It was owned by a real nasty dude (ex-cop) who always wore a pistol on his hip and the shop had a double entry door with iron bars that made it look and feel like entering a prison.

The complete set of Tuvalu Marvel 1oz series of silver coins. The first 6 in the series as a bundle. Back in 2019. I really liked the designs and they reminded me of my childhood when I use to watch the original cartoon series. Shortly after that I focused on silver britannias for silver coins.

A UNC 1787 George III Shilling with Semee of Hearts, absolutely over the moon, then I found out that it, and it's counter part "without" , are quite common coins.

My 1st silver coin was a Morgan Dollar 1887 (Which I still have)  Went into my local coin shop in 2012 to see what gold coins he had, saw it and thought of those classic Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns and banging it down on the bar ''whisky bartender'' and payed £20.  Will add a photo next time I get to it.

There is a little flat spot to edge Liberty side right hand side. Could have been banged on the bar with this edge.
