The Hive community is full of generous people. It's one of the things I love about interacting with everyone here on Hive. As a member of the #silvergoldstackers we interact and share interesting coins, rounds, bars, or even jewelry made with precious metals like silver and gold. On occasions members will do free or paid raffles to win some silver prizes, about a month or so ago I was lucky enough to win second prize in one, @bitcoinman will be relieved to hear that I finally received the silver prizes he sent me from his free raffle. The postal service between Canada and the US sure wasn't very fast this time around. He sent it off about a month ago and it finally made it my way, and to boot they didn't cancel the Canadian stamp so I got an extra Canadian bonus. Now if only I collected stamps.... lol!
He sent me three one gram silver bars and a five grain silver bar as well. These are all fairly tiny but have great designs and are solid silver. I took one picture next to a tape measurer just so you can reference it's size. Aren't they cool looking! Usually you will only find gold bars in one gram or less, so these are really cool to add to my stack! Thanks again @bitcoinman !
They came inside an envelope with this cardboard protector inside
Once I flipped it open here is what I saw!
And my souvenir Canadian uncanceled stamp!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my post. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Enjoy what's left of your weekend everyone!

What are HBI units? They are units that you can purchase to sponsor someone and you in turn receive a unit as well. This way we both benefit! They give you occasional upvotes on your posts for a lifetime, and the more you accumulate the more often you receive upvotes and the bigger they can be. You can read some more here:
