“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
At last! This is the first #secretsanta I am participating in my five years as a member of #silvergoldstackers. Late, but consistent. This morning I got the name and address of the intended 🎯 beneficiary so I should review the Secret Santa RULES of the original post once again. And the latest Secret Santa update post.
Next, is my first suggestion post. @silverd510 and @summertooth are on the 12 Days of Christmas theme. Short and sweet wish list posts, something I should consider trying due to my bummed right hand. I won’t do a full 12 but a few anyway.
From my “No Hope in Hell list…"
2013 Tuvalu 1 Dollar The Demeter
Reverse; The Demeter Passenger ship, Full moon, Bats, Whitby Abbey
Text; DRACULA, THE DEMETER
Fine silver .999, Weight 31.15g
Diameter 40.6mm, Thickness 4.0mm
Perth Mint, Mintage 3000
One coin from the 8 coin Series; Famous Ships that never sailed issued by the Perth Mint.
The Demeter is the ill-fated ship named in Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic novel, Dracula. The Film, The Last Voyage of the Demeter was originally intended to be released in 2022 but the pandemic pushed back the release date and is now currently in Post production with an expected release in August of 2023.
The story follows the crew and passengers of this doomed Russian schooner as it departs Carpathian traveling to London. Among the passenger, is an aristocrat with a private cargo of twenty-four unmarked crates. During the voyage, one by one, passengers and crew go missing … well you’ll get the ideal, don’t want to spoil the thrill. 🦇
2013 Tuvalu 1 Dollar The Demeter
Obverse; Queen Elizabeth II facing right
Text; QUEEN ELIZABETH II, IRB
Text; 1oz 999 SILVER 2013 TUVALU 1 DOLLAR
Edge Reeded
This is quite a scary coin to find at a mintage of 3000 pieces worldwide. I don’t expect this in my fishnet stocking unless I am really, really good or very ‘bad’. For now, a humbler coin that I can suggest to my #secretsanta is near the top of my real shopping list.
Scottsdale’s 2021 EC8 Anguilla
2021 Anguilla 2 Dollar Sailing Regatta
Reverse; Schooner, Sailing Regatta
Text; ANGUILLA, 2021
1 Troy Oz., .999 Fine Silver
Diameter 39mm
Mintage 25,000
Now that didn’t hurt did it? In fact, I’d be happy with any of the EC8 as long as it’s a sailing ship on the reverse like the; 2021 St. Kitts & Nevis, 2020 EC8 Antigua & Barbuda.
Note; I do already have the 2018 and 2019 EC8 Ships.
