Hand Poured Silver Challenge: Hive Silver Hex

in LeoFinance2 years ago

Courtesy of Toxic Bullion by @raybrockman these are the original official/unofficial HIVE silver rounds. I like to let my photos do the talking for me.

These are among the very first pours that Ray did for Toxic Bullion. They have character! They are various sizes and there are some errors, but that's ok. I like them just the way they are!

The shape allows me to fit them together nicely... except chunky #18 at the top.

18 is much thicker than the others, a nice 1.8 ozt. Coincidence? Hmm...

I took this photo to show how WIDE #18 is.

All together, a whopping 4.43 ozt. Nice!!!

Story Time

I'm pretty sure I bought these using HIVE when it was fresh off the fork. I'd have to go WAAAAY back on the blockchain to find out what I paid for them back in 2020, it could be done with the right tools.

Whever I paid, it was well worth it to have this added to the collection. I remember marveling at the concept of "blogging for silver', which is an amazing way to extract value from intellectual property.

It's difficult to actually put a pricetag on these, since they are so extremely limited. Ray offered these shortly before he left the blockchain scene.

He sold them for $29/oz plus shipping. Somewhere I have COA's for these, I hope I can find them!

Only 25 of these are in existence today! Wow! I've cornered 8% of the entire collection!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Bank Bailout Special!

It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

Absolutely! And even better than NFT's these have WEIGHT. I like NFT's, but it's tricky clinking NFT's together in front of a prospective buyer... !ALIVE

You're also impressed by pseudoscience arguments that a fifth grader should be able to debunk. Just some perspective.
