'The Sickness' - Photo share of Vintage Silver!!

I am sure it has been very obvious I have significant interest in the collectible vintage silver market. I try and evaluate my position and revisit previous experiences that ultimately led me to where I am today. .

The best way for me to describe my passion for vintage silver is by referring to it as "The Sickness". Fellow precious metal enthusiasts will completely understand what I mean by that. For those of you who don't. It literally feels like something has taken over your body. That "something" causes you to spend money you don't have, hawk EBay all day and night, put in contrasting light bulbs to take better photos, shake excessively during a silver auctions, postpone sex for a silver auction, and set your alarm in the middle of the night for a silver auction. . . Only a few symptoms to say the least...

**THAT IS THE SICKNESS SHOWING ITS TRUE POWER**

Now I can only hope that I am not the only one who does this 😅😥🤣. I was infected by the sickness the very first time I held a 10oz poured Silvertowne bar in my hand. There was no turning back. .

I want to present two silver ingots that highlight what collecting vintage silver is all about. .

☝️True natural patina on two iconic US based refiners. Where all of the sought after charactoristics are very prominent. This is what it is all about!!

COULD ALWAYS BE A WORSE TYPE OF SICKNESS RIGHT?

If you change the concept of an "ingot" for the concept of  a "commemorative", your article would be written by me.

I do believe it is called *Stackitis* here on the platform ;)

And I do think I am feeling the first symptoms myself XD

It is exactly as you have keenly observed Mr @pbock  
Please see my reply comment in this post to @silveringots on more details of this dreaded Disease and my efforts to make it more fun.  It is nothing to be taken lightly enough, except during the Monster raffle.

Both are very nice bars. I could understand getting up in the middle of the night to bid on either of them. There's something about older silver bars that just looks awesome. I like modern silver too, but the older pours like the ones you have are a cut above most of the current stuff.

Perhaps one day I could have my own Bot that can Upvote new @ssg-community posts that contain the word "Stackitis or Stackitus" in the title. For now, I wear my black Gothic nurse uniform, and my Medical bag is ready and equipped with a New electronic BP Cuff, Indicator Thermometer, Stethoscope, Oximeter, reflex hammer, and ~~dominatrix whip~~, *how'd that get in there?*
