A nice gift to give for Christmas is simply a little SILVER!
Do you have a numismatic gift-giving idea for Christmas?
A nice to gift to give this Christmas is simply ...
I like silver. It won't stay at 11-12x face forever. A little bit now will seem like a lot, perhaps sooner rather than later! (Wait for it...Waaayyyt...) It might give your relative, friend, co-worker, or local bitcoin hobbyist some context when silver inevitably trades at higher rates. Shoot, imagine how nice they'll feel when a little 90% Washie in their hand, now worth about $3, is worth $10, $20, or even $30!
My lesser duplicates of 90% Washies, like the ones pictured below, will be a good source for little stocking stuffers this Christmas. Free silver? What's not to like!

I'll send you the address of my stocking.

Wow, I wish I had seen this before I posted my own idea, I could have just responded to yours. A great idea and I hope it gives someone the impetus to join our hobby.

I think it's a cool idea, but most folks would probably rather have a six pack of craft beer or a bottle of booze or some cookies or a pizza or...
So true. So, give 'em a silver quarter or 90% half dollar! Maybe they'll be more likely to keep it than sell it for $3 or $6, and they'll be glad you thought of them before it multiplied.
We did a secret santa again this year.
I drew the same guys name as last year.
Last year I gave up a nice raw 1922 BU peace dollar and the guy while checking it out Dropped it on the floor....Doh, nice rim ding.
This year a slabbed 1959 D Franklin half in MS65 FBL.
It's his birthday year coin and I showed him how to look it up on the NGC website.
Here's my Christmas present .
Gold is good, if it is jewelry.... coins/bars for non collectors go in the sock drawer or get pawned/sold. I only give a coin (ASE) for births in the family now. Cheers, RickO
And it's a matter of preference whether she likes 18K or 22K. It surprised me that she didn't want a 22K bracelet or necklace because of the purer gold color. 18K is a better color for some wearers of jewelry.
@tychojoe ...For a bracelet, 18K is better because it is a 'harder' gold and less subject to damage... Cheers, RickO
