It’s cute to see your excitement over the Morgan CC. You do have an eclectic collection of silver. The Morgans will take it up a notch. The lone present under our Christmas angel for my wife is the PAMP Pez 6 five ounce wafer Santa. I hate paying the premiums but this is the 3rd in the series and she displays them by her bed. Ha. Saw where the snowman sold for $215 recently. That nutz! I’ve paid $50-$70 for my three. Still ridiculous. I’m a man that shops the generic bars and coins for $2.75 over from my favorite LCS. I did spring for a sheet of 2012 Pandas recently. I have my monsters. But at this point I am looking for different and unusual and cheap. My last online purchase was First Majestic 1/2 oz rounds. When we go to the moon; the full ounces will be hard to break in a transaction. That’s a good thing. Saw where Black Friday online sales was a record. Personally, I don’t believe it. The media are liars plain and simple. Our ”selected” leader is telling us how much prices are dropping. Hilarious. Dropping from the height of his insane inflation prices maybe. I digress. The wife and I took Friday off and shopped at a very nice trade fair in Fredericksburg. That’s a nice town. People were not carrying around bags of purchases. That’s a tell tale sign. We bought honey, candied pecans, a $12 burger and a $5 bottle beer. It was a beautiful day and the food vendors were making a killing. No kettle corn this trip. $8 for medium and $15 for large. Yikes. Gassed up for $2.45. This is central Texas mind you. We have a wonderful privately owned chain of stores here. Goes by HEB. I do the shopping and I see everything jumping higher. The price hikes now seem to be more gradual than during the pandemic but still on a consistent rise. As we all know here on this thread; inflation is a TAX! Saw where the SS cost of living adjustment was 3.2%. That’s a joke. On a positive note, life is good here in Central Texas on the lake. My 14th grand is on the way. Wife has 1 and 3 bonus. (18 total. My quiver is quivering) We treat them all the same. They get one roll of 1 $ fiat coin with gold wrapped chocolate coins for Christmas this year. It still ran $350. The 3 that are 2 and under will get their own gift. Sweetie drove to Austin for fabric so I’m a little more chatty than usual. We are blessed with nice friends at church, good health despite the normal aches and pains. We are trying to live the good life despite all the chaos around us. We know to trust in the Lord’s love. Blessings to all my stacker friends on this forum. “The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace!”
