Set your dapp to Dark mode as I have updated my Monarch Precious Metals Halloween Tombstone bars collection. I am sort of hesitant about it acquiring the 2024 version’s Party zombie that is currently available. Why? I’ll explain later.
“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
First, I will have to introduce my new adorable stuffy black cat named, Twilight and he is going to help me introduce some of my latest back dated adds to my Monarch Precious Metals Tombstone Halloween series silver bars.
"Say Hello to my followers Twilight."
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
“What do you have in your right paw Twilight?”
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
“You found a knife? Of all my blades you pick this one little beauty. You got great taste for a cute little stuffy toy. I’ll have to put it away and talk about it later.”
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
“You are so adorable, just hold these for me.”
The 2022 Limited Edition Tombstone Silver Bars
It’s a ‘Catch up’ game for me. This annual series began before I started and I’ve experienced a few tough lean years missing a few in the past. I would like to complete the set, yet I am not going far of the way to get that done unless the opportunity does present itself.
The anthropomorphic spooky tree in itself is not an iconic Halloween feature but always sets the mood of any scene requiring the element of suspense, fear and horror.
My favorite Trees gone bad scene;
Imagine a forest full of them.😱
The series has evolved over the years having subtle changes as each year came and passed. Each production year capped at 2500 with private poured styled Investment silver and small market I won’t expect to get any premium on resale.
In the context of this annual series, this 2022 version shifts from the Brilliant polish to the old toned vintage style of bar.
Next Tombstone Bar
This older bar came out as a gimmicky experiment trading off the shiny for the iridescent eerie glow. Sounds cool huh?
MPM did not continue this in the following year’s edition so give them a little credit for trying but it doesn’t really work with me.
And while we’re on Pumpkins…
Only one Pumpkin has grown to the size of almost 30 cm in diameter. I consider this a success. I started with four seeds with one vine surviving long enough to produce this one fruit. The goal next year will be two fruit and hopefully a little bigger than this one. It’s more than enough for one yummy pie.
This alien fruit is also known as a Japanese pumpkin with a different texture and a sweeter taste. This fruit measures about 16 cms diameter and not very big from insufficient watering being once again the cause. I started with four seeds with one vine surviving all the bug and snail attacks. We’ll try again next year.
Now, about that knife…
"Twilight is such a smart kitty."
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
“I thought I recognized the ‘CLICK’, ‘CLICK’, ‘CLICK’ in the early hours of the morning. I checked my sons but they were sleeping. You had this knife on your furry lap. Were you playing with this knife?”
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
A discreet knife based on the full sized Ultratech series that can be carried in a watch pocket, on a key-chain, or in a purse.
(Imagined, “Meow.” )
“Why Twilight, I didn’t know you liked sharp pointy things. This can be too dangerous for a Kitty to play with. I can’t I cannot emphasize this enough, this is NOT A TOY!” 🔪
I still carry my Kershaw 4035TIKVT folding as my everyday carry in the event of an emergency or need. I can’t legally use this UTX-70 because my government deemed it illegal along with Butterfly knives and Shurikens. 🙄
This does have the heft and feel of a quality knife, Lighter weight than a full sized knife, comfortable grip, and sounds really badass when I push the Thumb switch to deploy the dagger styled blade with a distinct “CLICK!” Retracting the blade is just as instantaneous with a little more effort to pull back on the Thumb switch.
Monarch Precious Metals are among the first that pioneered the Halloween theme in poured silver products. The 2024 Tombstone Edition is a return to the Zombie theme wearing a party hat? This is somewhat a kooky departure as well as recycling the old 2015 Zombie bar. But what do you think? Should Monarch retire this series? Got a suggestion for 2025?

Physical precious metals bullion stacking is only a part of my personal overall financial strategy. What form in physical bullion style is my choice since I have already achieved my target goal in this investment category. Please, Do your research before deciding to buying any bullion products.
