It Took 15 Years to Disrupt the $martphone🤳

Tech Startup With Traction: Turn your phone from a cost to an income source. Intriguing idea, isn't it? This is why, we have our eyes on the launch of Mode Mobile’s Pre-IPO Offering. It’s the latest in a series of impressive raises among smartphone innovators, likely spurred by Apple’s recent $3+ trillion valuation.

Mode saw 150x revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, a leap that has made them one of America’s fastest growing companies. Mode is on a mission to disrupt the entire industry with their "EarnPhone," a budget smartphone that’s helped consumers earn and save $150M+ for activities like listening to music, playing games, and ... even charging their devices?!

Over 11,000 investors already acquired shares — and with only days remaining prior to their bonus tier closing, allocations are limited.

Collector’s Corner - Yes, Somebody Else DID Pack My Suitcase

Let’s face it. Getting a package in the mail filled with mystery coins and currency never gets old. Frankly, it’s why I do what I do.

This week on my channel, I purchased a collection with high expectations. Because this wasn’t just any collection. It came in an old suitcase untouched for decades. Now if that doesn’t get the numismatic juices flowing, what will?

Did I score big or end up with a pile of duds? Are my pennies worth big money…or are they just pennies?

Check it out.

Q&A - Ask Silverpicker

A question from GoldenSpaghettiHoop this time around. Hey, that’s my middle name!

I love world coins. In fact, I am considering doing a "world type set," in which I try to get one coin from every issuing body (country, territory, etc.) in the world. Naturally, I would be sure to get each coin in silver if possible.

If you’re planning your own world coin collection, I suggest picking a country you find interesting. For myself, I’m trying to complete a full set of British Mandate of Palestine coins. Jetsetter that I am, I'm also doing Canadian and Philippines type sets.

As for the world coin I’m most proud of owning, it’s gotta be my 1931 Key Date 100 Mils British Mandate of Palestine coin that I bought for $10 at a garage sale—it’s worth $350!
