Hello to one and all. Been a lurker for a short period of time, just to see how this site runs. Very impressed with the postings. Been stacking mostly silver, but have now started to diversify into gold. I don't collect a whole lot of high premium items, mostly stick to low premium stuff to build a bigger stack. That's just me. There are a lot of pretty things to collect if I had a bigger wallet. One of them being the Chinese Panda. I don't own one, but owning just one you can't do justice to the series. Always been jealous of the people who pick that round to collect. Well might as well get my feet wet. Here we go!
I'm sorry. Maybe I am thick as a brick, but "Jah Irie". I assume that means welcome. Taking a shot there.
Welcome Rastatodd...Welcome to ss...Hope you enjoy the topics discussed here...A few fights some times but as a whole we are all good mates when it comes to silver! Regards Errol 43
Yeah, even the most close familys has it's spats once an a while. It's good we are doing this online, no fist ta cuffs.
Sorry M8, I just guessed with the rastatodd tag you were....well Rasta? Loosely translated it means blessings, good vibes, welcome, good journey + a whole bunch of good things. G'day anyway.
Let me tell you about how I choose "Rastatodd". My first name is Todd and now how I came to be getting the first two syllables of my username. Has to do with a trip to Jamaica and me and my soon to be sister in law part taking of the islands finest. I don't believe I need to go on. Picture Painted. Right. Well I was in my twenties than and now I am pushing fifty. Those days are long in my rear view mirror. I use the username just as a chuckle of my very own. Remembering when I was care free and when there was no mortgage payment and no children needing for college tuition to be paid. But I'm very blessed to have my daughters, wouldn't trade them for all of the silver and gold in this world.
Welcome onboard, Jamaica's finest is obviously Rum and you collect gold and silver so I am guessing you are a pirate, good on you.
Right, you found me out Jislizard. Yeah, rum that was it. Rum. If my children happen to read this. Remember gentlemen. It was rum I was par taking of. Our secret. Right.
I see that there are a lot of members from Australia. You mean to tell me I have come across the holy grail of Aussie stackers. May I say a pipeline of Perth Mint products so well thought of in the stacking community that people are known to swim the ocean to get to the promise land. To strap the shiny chunks of metal goodness to their back for the swim back to the states. You know how the postal rates can kill you from Australia to the US.
I take it that "Bluey" is a region of the continent of Australia? By the way "Minnesota Todd" has a good ring to it. Maybe for a future username. With your permission Redback,
