a walk full of memories this Wednesday

A precious metal that I could buy since I didn't have any money restrictions. That is a good topic for a Silver Gold Stackers engagement initiative thanks to @thisismylife. She posted the initiative in here . It is difficult at first to imagine that, usually, we shop for precious metal knowing our budget right? I always sort stores by prices from low to high, so it is difficult for me to reach the top expensive billions. Once in a while I also receive by e-mail some releases so I can have a taste of the expensive taste.

I mentioned before the best cost-benefit to buy online for me right now is TD Precious Metals, a store from the Canadian bank TD. Why? The premiums aren't bad and after 100$ they ship for free. It is the best deal that I found for now. I want so badly to get a 1 Oz gold bullion, so once in a while, I browse their gold section, and I find a beauty that I even commented about on our Discord server. The St. Vincent & the Grenadines Humpback Whale from 2021. I love cetaceans and this one just hit my heart. The Price is from a regular 1 Oz gold, about 3,342.45 CAD. The gold spot is around 3,154 CAD so it isn't bad the price thinking that way. But still, it isn't money that I have right now to spend all at once.

It was good that I commented in the SGS discord server because I found that @dfinney had an extra silver of that one which I could buy! Soon I will post about that once I see it with my own eyes. This whale could be my top wish on my list. Yes. But like I said it isn't an impossible price talking about gold. So I decided to dig a bit more. If I had unlimited funds maybe I would have tons of coins around the gold spot price. But I would also go further and buy more expensive metals. So digging a bit I found a gold piece that cost almost twice the gold spot. I loved the art since it has more dimensions and it has a bit more of an ancient touch to it.

Greek mythology is also something that attracts me and the Gryphon is a beautiful creature from there. The mint that produced this coin is called CIT and it is a mint from Liechtenstein, a small country in the middle of Europe. The mint produces a bullion every year on this topic. In 2023 they minted Arethusa for example. The country that represents this coin is the Cook Islands. It is a collection that it would be worth to have it. However, the gold version of the Gryphon was found on www.goldsilverbullioncanada.ca for 5,799.95 CAD. It is a 1 Oz piece so it is a lot beyond the spot. The silver version on the same website is almost 220 CAD ( a regular 1-oz silver is around 40 CAD right now).

It is crazy for me nowadays to spend almost 6k CAD on something that I probably couldn't sell and get back. Usually, you think about buying gold closer to the spot thinking that if you need it in the future, you can re-sell it by something around the spot. When I have enough to buy a 1 Oz gold piece, I will buy a bullion that is very close to the gold spot, like the humpback whale. But still, I can dream of having this type of coin in my collection. I am looking forward to reading about the dreams of my community colleagues.
Eu mencionei antes que o melhor custo-benefício para comprar online para mim agora é o TD Precious Metals, uma loja do banco canadense TD. Por quê? Os prêmios não são ruins e após 100 dólares, eles enviam gratuitamente. É o melhor negócio que encontrei até agora. Estou tão ansioso para conseguir uma barra de ouro de 1 oz, então de vez em quando, navego pela seção de ouro deles e encontro uma beleza que até comentei em nosso servidor Discord. A Baleia Jubarte de São Vicente e Granadinas de 2021. Eu amo cetáceos e essa simplesmente tocou meu coração. O preço é de um ouro regular de 1 oz, cerca de 3.342,45 CAD. O preço do ouro está em torno de 3.154 CAD, então não é um mau preço pensando assim. Mas ainda assim, não é dinheiro que tenho agora para gastar de uma vez só.
