This is a chunk of silver that is 99.9% pure. It has been shaped into a 2 troy ounce cylinder and stamped with a commemorative design.
Technical specifications (specs) ;)
.999 (99.9%) fine silver
2 troy ounces
#awesome
The scene depicted on this pure silver cylinder is in commemoration of the transcontinental railroad completed in the USA on May 10, 1869
The above ceremony was a result of driving the "golden spike" that linked the eastern USA to the (soon to be) Western USA by rail. The actual golden spike used in the ceremony is in the Cantor Arts Museum at Stanford University in California.
Silver is a precious metal due to it's scarcity and industrial uses. Investing in silver is a fun way to diversify your investment portfolio.
Silver spot price (cost) is currently $25.55 per troy ounce. One year ago today silver spot price was $16.80.
I visited the site of this historic moment and I had a good time. This round was a gift from a dear friend called @dfinney.
Continue to have a nice weekend!

We have our own Vancouver, actually Port Moody, Last Spike commemorating the completion of the National Railway bringing BC into the Confederation of Canada. Regrettably the medal I have was bronze rather than Silver. I'm not sure if there is a Gold Commemorative issued.

OH then you and the Mr have to visit this place! Even though it is still in the middle of nowhere you can just feel the history when you visit.
P.S. @dfinney would kill me if I gave this away :o

Lol, I would not expect you to give it away, but should you need someone to hold on to it for you, I'm the one!😁
Sometime, maybe on the Saturday chat, I should tell you about our train history. Take care @summertooth!
