Twelve days of Christmas - day 7...

When @silverd510 comes up with ideas theyre usually pretty good, but when it comes to #tags, and more specifically tag posts, he's a genius. His latest post idea for the #steemsilvergold group is a "TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS" theme and involves picking 12 Precious Metal items you'd love to receive.

Take a look at his twelve days of Christmas and see for yourself.

Here are the rules he made up for this little posting sequence:

• Start off with the lowest dollar items, building up to the one thing that would truly blow you away if you got it as a gift.

• The items have to be realistic!! No one is going to gift you an 1895CC Morgan silver dollar. Unless you are related to Bill Gates or any other billionaire.

• The top item can not exceed a value of $2000

Day 7 - A handpoured, "ripple" heart by @backyardbullion

Value - $60

Ok,so I've gone for something, again, a little out of left field! I'm a massive fan of handpoured silver and have a dedicated Community chest where I keep all handpoured silver items.

So I've gone for something a little bigger than his usual 1oz and opted for the 2.5oz(approx) version. I say approximately because no two pieces will ever be the same when hand pouring and that goes for weight too. It takes years of practice and patience to know how much you're pouring out and to get the weights perfect everytime.

Now I know youre thinking that it's a little bit pricey!! But ALL @backyardbullion pieces have been hallmarked by the Edinburgh assay office which makes them even more desirable.. This guarantee makes his pieces so special and a sign that his art has been proven to be pure silver by one of the oldest assay offices in the world. The assay mark is used as a sign of trust and will also help when selling on any piece in the future.
