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 8 - 2oz, 2018, figure 8, silver, antiqued coin:
Value - $150 (conservatively)
In the Chinese culture the number eight is considered extremely lucky as the Chinese word for ‘eight’ means good fortune or money. Also the dragon on the reverse is used as a divine mythical creature, a symbol of power, strength, wealth and good fortune, so when combined it gives you this amazing looking, "unique" coin.
Once again the Perth mint proves that it is at the forefront of modern coin designing. They always seem to come up with the best designs, and this is another example of how to DO IT RIGHT.... (royal mint; please take note)
- 99.99% Pure Silver
- World First Innovative Figure Eight Coin Shape
- Australian Legal Tender
- Limited Mintage – 8,888
- Presentation Packaging
- Numbered Certificate
This coin has also been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin may vary and so makes each coin even more collectable.
As far as I know (remember), the only people I know to have these coins are @raybrockman and
