Canada Day bullion is here and so is #hivepowerupday

“Black birds...the ship’s taking on water! We‘re did it come from?” ~ The Bloody Raven

Wouldn’t you know it.
More than a week ago my Tenant calls me on my cell that there is an emergency and that I need to shut off the house's water immediately. A chain of events including the combination of a plugged toilet and a faulty flush mechanism led to this early morning flooding disaster.

To sum things up, the inspection and assessment deemed this as a class 3 biohazard, that is equivalent to a sewer water contaminated flooding. A Remediation crew had already sprayed yellow some stuff and setup a bunch of fans and dehumidifiers to prevent mold from getting a foothold.

I’ll be out at least a month’s rent plus a deductible. And that’s why I have an Emergency Reserve fund saved up. I still have a third of it in cash with the other two-thirds locked into gold. No sweat I’m set. But if you feel the need to support someone then please support @enginewitty’s family.

The Canada Day Shiny Bullion

Back to business. What can I say but aside from the natural beautiful and expansive landscapes of the country of Canada? Tall, lush rain forests, majestic mountains, fertile grasslands, fresh water that make Canada primarily a resource-based economy.
Canada is eleventh in world production of Silver by country at 24.8 million ounces but only an eight compared to Number one Mexico in 2018 according to Sprottusa.

Allow me to show you a few of my favorite bullion pieces from my stack.

2015 Canada 8 Dollar Maple Leaves

Reverse; Three Maple Leaves

Text; CANADA 2015, FINE SILVER 1 1/2 OZ ARGENT PUR

Diameter 38mm, Thickness 4.5mm

Silver 0.9999, Weight 46.64g

Engraver; Stan Witten

This chunky coin designed by Stan Witten, is an eye catcher to me. Distinct from the regular Bullion Maple Leaf in a much more natural representation of the regional Western Provinces, Central Provinces, and the Maritime Provinces. All unified to the same tree.

Text; ELIZABETH II, 8 DOLLARS

Next, and always impressed by a well-dressed officer in a sharp uniform, even better on a mounted steed and not necessarily a squad car.

2020 Canada 10 Dollars 100th Anniversary Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Reverse; Mountie on Horseback facing left

Text; 1920 CANADA 2020, 9999, FINE SILVER 2OZ ARGENT PUR

Diameter 38mm, Thickness 5.9mm

Silver 0.9999, Weight 62.68g

Artist; Paul Cedarberg

Another Canadian Icon represented many times before on earlier commemoratives and now for the first time on bullion coins and minted on even a heftier 2 oz. 62g size. Artist Paul Cedarberg’s reboot of his original work on the $1 1973 RCMP Commemorative silver coin.

”Honk, if you want to get arrested eh?” ~Anonymous Canadian 🍁🚚🚛🚚🚛🚚🍁

Also, an interesting match for obverse is the selection of George V for the obverse marking 1920s monarch or alternatively Queen Victoria 1873. If it is not ER II as we have enough of her likeness on too many coins. We Canadian Tax payers support her lavish lifestyle enough to the annual tune of $50 million per year.

Silver 0.800, Weight 23.3g

Diameter 36mm, Thickness 2.84mm

Designer: Dinko Vodanovic

Canadian politics is boring, so I’ll make it very short. This 1964 Silver dollar commemorates the beginning of Canadian confederation with it’s first conference of Delegates from three British North American Provinces at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on September 1st to the 9th, 1864.

On July 1st, 1867 the federation Dominion of Canada was formed by four provinces; the province of Canada who split to form Ontario and Quebec, the province of New Brunswick, and the province of Nova Scotia.
And the Federal government has been growing into the creature we have today.

The perplexed young computer gamer stuffed his gloved hands in his gortex jacket pockets and shrugged his shoulders, “I just donated $10 to the Truckers Caravan yesterday then today I get a message from CSIS saying… ‘All you bank account are belong to us eh’.” ~ Another anonymous Canadian.🍁🚚🚛🚚🚛🚚🍁

Thank you @punkysdad for loaning me this banknote.

I will be continuing this little Canada Day series through July 1st with the old ~~Constitutional~~ Confederational? Or perhaps, to be more accurate, Demonetized Canadian circulating silver coinage. I’ll be featuring 1949, 1958, 1967 with a few more bullion tossed in.
