God both last thread being either advertisement whoring or seething about advertisement whoring was awful.
Post the last precious metal thing you bought, and what you're hoping to get next.

Got a 2011 silver proof set today, got every silver state and territory quarter now more than halfway through every silver ATB quarter. Just an okay year. Gettysburg and Vicksburg are honestly kindof bland sculpts. Especially vicksburg, it's so flat and lifeless. Glacier is a nice idea, but too hard to really make out the details on a standard sized quarter. I'm sure the 5ozt version looks incredible (I think I remember photo bro posting it one time). Chickasaw is also a nice one in theory, but the big problem is the shitty "frosting" technique the mint used during this era just loves to hide small details, and this coins is VERY reliant on small details such as bricks in the bridge or the trees. The fields are nice.
Clear winner this year is Olympic. The Elk looks great, the sculpt of the mountain and the trees are exquisite, and I always love the fields of coins being used as water. Legitimately a great quarter. There's nothing much to say about the other stuff included, the Sacagawea dollar this year commemorates the Wanpanoag treaty from 1621, meaning we're 402 years removed from when some Injuns thought selling land for beads was a smart decision. Neat I guess.
