“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

Since joining #ladiesofhive I am just elated getting into the swing of things and chatting more than my usual fare at their Discord server. I can get a sense of the real intimacy with my new sisters and talk about anything under the sun or the moon. To our founding sisters @thekittygirl and @silversaver888

My Lineup for #fiveouncefriday

Close enough to five ounces as it’s still five of something, right?

I understand that there have been a few similar communities in the past. But there was also a need of a fresh new start. I felt the new vibe and as a member of the #silvergoldstackers I pulled out my Moon themed silver today.

Sun, Moon and stars Silver Celestial Bar, Toned

A custom poured bar by

@dixiesilverminer With four diamonds studded around the crescent moon.

A precious personally made piece given to me by @dixiesilverminer. I hope dixie comes back to Hive someday but he is still active on Instagram and I still continue to follow their artwork. I am thinking of getting another Pirate themed piece from him yet like a silver shark.

2017 2 Canada Dollars Wolf Moon

Reverse; Silhouetted wolf howling in front of moon. Legend; CANADA 2017, JDM, 9999, FINE SILVER 3/4 OZ ARGENT PUR Fine silver 0.9999, 23.33g 38mm Diameter Mintage of Unknown

A much-improved version over the 1967 Howling Wolf half dollar, and a stunning representation of the timber wolf before the full moon. I have yet to find out if the wolf is a male or female.

2018 Australian One Dollar

Reverse; Kookaburra in flight under the Moonlight Legend; AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, P, 2018 1oz 9999 SILVER Fine Silver 0.9999, 31.1g 40.6mm Diameter, 3.21mm Thickness Mintage of 243,740 in BU

This Brilliant Uncirculated coin looks as if it should almost grade Proof in my unprofessional opinion as to the quality of the Perth Mint’s products. Beautiful profile of the bird, clean border, and just the right Cameo background finish for contrast and yet distinct with the moon in the background.

1960 Greece 20 Drachmai

Reverse; The Moon Goddess Selene on horseback 20 ΔΡΧ Drachmai Silver 0.835, 7.5g 26.2mm Diameter, 2mm Thickness Mintage of 20,000,000

According to the spurious “Delphi Scriptures” The Delphi Temple priestess Selene fell in love with an Italian Traveler name Ambrogio. They knew the God Apollo would not allow his servant to leave his Temple and thus began the tragic love story only a Greek soap opera can lay claim and any Goth gal can appreciate. Sniff. 😭

And finally!

2018 Silver Shield: The Queen Within

<center

Date of Issue March 19th, 2018 to March 26th,2018 Mintage in BU is 2,631 Silver 0.999, 31.1g 39mm Diameter Minted by the Golden State Mint

The Moon’s symbolism is synonymous with the nature of the feminine. In various cultures it represents the Mother and child relationship in nurturing, fertility and a caring nature.
Of cycles and rhythm.
Equilibrium and regeneration.
Emotions and Intuition.
And mystery.
Just don’t get her mad.
