Ah, December.

As we all scramble to fulfil a year’s worth of lofty ambitions into the final month of the year, it’s important to remember that we can still make good on our numismatic goals.

I can’t help you join that gym, read those books, or master that clarinet, but I CAN give you the tools you need to boost your coin and precious metals collection ahead of 2024.

More on that below, but first, pop quiz hotshot (answer at bottom of email)! How long does a penny remain in circulation? 

It’s not every day that the grandson of a real-life ambassador has an old coin collection to sell.

Well, in this week’s video, that’s exactly what happens. And I take you through exactly what’s included in this little bit of history.

It’s like if Twitch and eBay had a baby…

No, really.

Imagine the market of eBay, the auctions, the potential to get great deals you don’t find anywhere else - and the live entertainment value of Twitch.

We all know what Thanksgiving means. It’s well and truly the beginning of the holiday season. And what better way to celebrate than with buying your very own Silverpicker Christmas Sweater, as featured on this week’s video.

This week, a question from Reddit:

OK. Good question here. Let’s break down Christmas gifts into two categories:

  1. Stocking stuffers: We’re talking about nice-to-haves here. And for this, I like to give the current year’s American Silver Eagle, or any other government bullion coin from this year. It always goes down well, is a full ounce of silver, and isn’t too pricey. I also like to give whatever Christmas/holiday related silver rounds I can find from the current year.

  2. The coin as the main event: If you’re planning on making the coin the main gift, you need to do a little research. You’ve got to first find out what the person you’re buying for is collecting, and what they’re missing in that collection. Filling that hole is truly a great gift, as long as it’s within your budget.

As for where to buy these gifts, you will never go wrong with Whatnot or Apmex.

Pop quiz answer: Well done, those of you who got it - you go straight to the top of the class. The answer is, of course, the 40 years.

See you next week!
