Went on Facebook to shop some fresh silver after a long time... I am withholding myself these days from making any purchases, as imo the prices sellers are asking are just ridiculous. Often 2x or even 3x the spot price, lol. And auctions don't seem to be a thing these days, so sniping at steal prices is not an option either. I ended up buying some small cheap swedish silver coins of very low purity (0.400) for a total of 6 euro. I still overpaid considering spot but I really liked their simplistic design and hey, 6 euros is like nothing..I guess I'll skip a meal 😆 No spoilers though, I will make a reveal post when they arrive.
While I was browsing I stumbled upon a two oz piece somebody was trying to sell for 400 euros. I immediately fell in love with it but no way I am fucking paying that much for 60 grams of silver. Still it is such an amazing piece I think it's worth a share.
Here's a video I found online. The details, the 3d design, the finish, everything is just perfect.
A true piece of art:
The box that it comes in is also very neat. I don't feel like referencing other websites today so go google it if you are curious 😆
The coin is minted by Niue Island and is named "PERSEUS" by the series DEMIGODS or something like that. Mintage is really low, just 650 pieces. In case Greek mythology isn't your thing, the coin features Perseus moments before beheading Medusa. It's a fun story give it a read.
I also found it on eBay for 250$ but again that's a price I am not willing to pay. I'd much prefer to buy some gold at these money. If you want to gift it to me though.. I won't say no 😆
