Phew I did it !!! I made sure I updated my follow list, and am now following every member of the #Steemsilvergold community. Took a bit of time but so worth it. Now for a silver post. I have to warn you though, there is NO WAY I'm anywhere near as good or as interesting as the rest of the community, and as for photo's....@silvernova takes home the prize for that. But I thought I'd better try and take a few pic's of my latest arrivals, just so you all know I actually DO stack :)
In a salute to my Chen Tai Chi background, the first few are Chinese inspired from the Eternal Wisdom series by Silver Shield (BU)
I really like this coin, but maybe it should have been the other way round? The Calligraphy brushstroke matted and the rest shiny? What do you think?
And of course, from the same series, the popular Yin Yang (BU)
I also got these in copper....
Here's the Proof..my very first one!!
and THE proof of the Proof
OK now to mix it all up
And I can't go without doing a few pics of my NZ Trophy Silver Stag ON a Silver fern....about as imaginative as I get with Silver
Reverse is not the Queen, but New Zealand
So when I pulled these coins out I noticed spots on them...?? Does anyone know how to clean these off and where did they come from? Also...does anyone know if you can make Colloidal silver from your coins?
Anyway I am now waiting for our Silver Steemit coins to arrive!!!! Until then, I am following you all. Have an awesome day.
Nice brotha! I appreciate the follow and will make sure to give you a follow as I can see you are active and a fellow stacker. I just invested another $160 into the platform this morning so take an newly powered up upvote as well. I think my percentage, from an obsurd amount of upvoting and not having a slider yet, is below 30% but should still be worth a few cents.
After all the formalities, you pick ups were very cool. I especially like the yin/yang design and after seeing the other metal (I'm assuming copper?), the idea of making a detachable, half silver, half copper yin yang would be incredible. Or the absolute best, but hella expensive, would be a half silver, half gold version. I guess seeing the beautiful sheen of the coins got my mind thinking. I have no idea on the ability to actually produce something like that and if it would even be worth it for a company, but I think it's a cool idea.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing some more of your orders arrive and good luck stacking moving forward, my friend!
Wow thanks so much !!! Your idea is an intriguing one but very cool !!! No way I could afford the gold...I would have to have bronze haha. It IS a great idea though. Detachable would be fantastic...OK you got me thinking now...
Yes! Maybe they could even design a small magnet so that they click together very close. And yeah I couldn't get a gold 1, even though it'd be a small piece of gold. Maybe silver and bronze is the best way to go to make it affordable. Plus, if detachsble, we don't want it too valuable or it will always be kept away or on display, and what type of fun is it if you can never touch it.
We're probably thinking way too far into this, but who knows maybe @phelimint will come in, scoop the idea and run with it, although I doubt it, hahaha!
Hey you got it in writing here !!! :)
Welcome to the community! I love the SSX rounds. Chris Duane does and excellent job with them. And the NZ Stags are awesome. Looking forward to seeing more posts from you.
Thanks so much !!!
Those are some great looking rounds. Where did you get the New Zealand coin from? I haven't seen that one before.
I did a post on the NZ Stag coin and another NZ coin design, unfortunately the other Maori design coins are vacuum sealed. I get them from a great little NZ company called MyGold. Thanks for stopping by :)

Awesome shots @madeinhisimage you did well with your photo’s. It can be very hard photographing silver, especially proofs.
You have some great coins there, the stags look great on the New Zealand ferns! nice to see a silver post from you too!
Well that's real praise coming from you @silvernova, I think your way to kind haha. Thanks so much for the encouragement and yep, it's hard to photograph silver. The green of the ferns looks great...thanks again for your support
Cool coins. I especially love the Calligraphy brushstroke! Now following
Thanks so much!!!!
Nice coins, I really like that yin and yang proof coin there!
Yes am pretty stoked to have a proof. Thanks for your neat comment :)
