I Found A New Place To Buy My Silver

Good evening all, today marks a pretty good day for my precious metals journey.
I found a new shop to get my silver from 😁

This place is a little one tucked away that I found while driving past last week. I've just not had the time to visit until today. It was a bank holiday in the UK today, so I had the day off, which just made sense to take a wander down and check it out.

So off me and my son went to have a little lookie at what goodies they had in store.

When we got there my son saw a giant treasure chest that he was rather excited to have a look at. He is 2 years old, and him shouting out 'Treasureeeeee' made the store laugh. He absolutely loved it, and now he calls it the treasure shop.

My missus has been after a globe for our living room for a very long time now, and lo and behold, there was one in the store!

So, of course, we had to get this for her, which meant I could treat myself too 😁

The obverse of the coin: The uncrowned portrait of King Edward VII
The reverse of the coin: Crowned denomination dividing the date within an oak wreath
Year: 1907
Value: 3 pence
Currency: Pound sterling
Silver: .925
Weight: 1.41 grams
Diameter: 16mm

Here we have a 1907 3 pence coin with .925 silver content. It was priced up at Β£4.00, which is a bit steep considering the weight/silver amount. But it had 20% off, which I didn't realize until I got to the till.
Still Β£3.20 for this is high, but it's a pretty nice looking coin, so I thought, what the heck.
The missus had banned me from buying anything today, so I didn't want to push my luck and buy a 1oz coin πŸ˜…

Overall, it looks to be in pretty good condition considering its age. It is rather small but I liked it, so it's now joined the silver stack.

Here's a couple of the cabinets, sadly not all of that is silver, but there were still some pretty cool looking bits in there.

I'm planning another visit soon when I can afford some more bits, hoping to go again later this week πŸ™ƒ

It's a good thing you got what you wanted and also something for the missus, hehe. It looks cool with the silver and black color combo.

It is always nice to come away with a buy you are happy with and make the wifey happy too.
