The silver has arrived

Well, in case any of you are really wondering what almost $600 worth of silver looks like, here it is:

Don’t try to steal it.  It’s in a safe place.  And no, I did not have it surgically implanted inside my abdomen, so don’t look there … please.  I ordered two 10 oz bars, which strangely weigh in at 10.9 ounces on my scale.  I also ordered 10 of the US Silver dollars which each weigh 1 ounce.  The coins were slightly more expensive per ounce, but I believe are better for resale and possible collectors items.  It’s kind of funny that these 2008 coins have a face value of $1.00 but are worth around $16 each.

Too bad that it’s not gold.  Then instead of $600, I’d be looking at around $24,000.  That is what’s crazy.
