Hobby Collecting: Hand-poured Silver

         A week ago, I saw something I liked on APMEX. It's a hand-poured silver piece. For those of you who don't know what that means, here's a good article. In general, poured goods are usually more expensive.

         As you can see, it depicts the Egyptian goddesses Ma'at and Mut. No, I don't know the exact mythology, but it's good enough that I know the basics. The purity and weight is also there amidst the hieroglyphics.

         On the other side of the same piece, there are more depictions of deities.

         This time, we have Hathor and Isis. I bet many of you had forgotten that Isis is a name before ISIS. I like how the purchase included the little pouch you see in the picture. I can put the piece in there while having it sealed up to prevent oxidation.

         Like I said, hand-poured silver is more expensive than the usual pressed counterparts. But, it's a unique piece that could be very valuable down the road due to the craftsmanship.

         I've got another piece coming that's delayed by delivery. Look forward to it.
