Hobby Collecting: Not A Bar

         The year of the rat has not been kind to the world. That is, if you are human or some of those animals who happened to become infected by COVID-19 as well. You thought the news about a tiger testing positive in New York was ridiculous? Wait until you see the true meaning of a global pandemic. Not even your furry friends are safe! Well, it's all preliminary and I am going off track.

         So, I decided to pick up some silver with zodiac designs. Since us retail investors beggars can't be choosers, it didn't matter what I bought. Almost everything on APMEX is at $5 over spot. Here is an example of what I obtained from their limited inventory:

         That would be the front and back of that particular silver piece. I'm not sure why the font on the back has progression of enlarged texts. The only thing I care about is that they are .999 fine silver.

         I also managed to pick up some other interesting pieces along the way. One of them is the silver arrow heads. Those come in one-ounce units as well. Now, why would you want silver arrowheads? Can you even shoot a silver arrow?

         If you live around the Rocky Mountains, you know wolves are a thing. One could never be too careful about them werewolves. /s

         There were other designs including Day of the Dead skulls, which come in two-ounce units. Unfortunately, those are too colorful for my taste. If I wanted to put more money into silver decors, I may consider silver bullets. You see where this is going? Although, those tend to price much higher than the already steep $5 over spot per ounce of silver.

         Since there's not much else to do right now, I will jump on interesting silver designs when possible. If anything, it is kinda fun.
