And I have done it! The set of silver pieces I've talked about months back is finally complete. The last piece of the puzzle was the ace of clubs.
On paper, a 10-ounce piece is not an astronomical sum. But, given the budget constraint when there are so many other assets out there, it took a bit of juggling.
At the time of this post, the spot price for silver is around $25.49 per ounce. With premiums and whatnot, such piece goes for $300 on the market.
Nevertheless, here is the entire set:
It's possible that I may one day see the rest of the deck in the same art style down the road. If I do, I may try and see if I could collect them all. It's somewhat humorous to picture playing poker with family using a deck of pure silver "cards". Now, imagine trying to shuffle them. Chances are, this mini-set might end up as a family heirloom. Well, that's a long ways down the road.
What's next? I will shift my resources back to smaller and more bland looking bars. I'd rather sell those than the more artistic pieces. The good news is, there are definitely cool looking pieces that are less than 10 ounces out there.
