in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

You guys seen these 10 ounce rounds from GoldSilver.com? Some of them have done very well on the secondary market.

limited mintage, but high premiums, so definitely a risky buy

I believe this is their version of the Athenian Owl. It's from their Modern Ancients series. This came in an acrylic block held together with magnets. Really nice presentation box too.

WOW. They are so beautiful! Your collection is awesome @sbsparts! Keep going!

They're beautiful. I wouldn't mind owning one. I really like the design of the ancient one too. Either would be a great addition to any collection... unless you have mice coins, in which case, the silver owl might eat the silver mice. You would then have a bigger silver owl, and a pile of silver poop. :D

Never seen these before - they look really nice. The flood of premium coins that came after the privateer popularity made me a little overwhelmed and I stayed away from most higher premium stuff, not knowing what would take and what I would regret.

It's beautiful!

That is a thing of beauty. That minted for only 90 days is gonna keep that premium high too.

You are showing the better stuff always here!

It is extremely beautiful, but looking at the box it is easy to notice that the premium is an exorbitant one.
How beautiful is the Athenian Owl! You will not pay less than $1,000 for one similar.

Wow, beautiful, just beautiful!!
