Happy Birthday To Me - And Sweet 5oz Pony Express Bars

Yeah That’s Me ..

BDMiller all pudgy and happy .. And definitely way before I became a silver stacker, artist, photographer, poet, writer, husband… And the list goes on and on.

My mother sent me this picture in my most recent birthday card. I just celebrated my 49th birthday this past weekend, and I tried to keep it under wraps for the most part. The older I get the less I like any kind of fuss over my birthday. I have a big milestone birthday coming next year, and I’d rather it just pass by without any fuss. I’m not one for big parties and definitely not for the attention. The picture of me was taken a few months after being born, and just after my baptism. I think it’s important part of my life that I’ve kept my faith throughout the years and it’s something I can rely on day in and day out, regardless of what life throws at me.

More About The Silver..

Enough about me and my birthday… I already said, I don’t like a lot of fuss. So I thought I would include some silver I bought not too long ago. It’s not fancy silver, but rather what we call adding weight to the stack.

5 ounce SilverTowne Pony Express bars .. The are perfect for someone looking to add weight to their stacking investment. Although they are far from fancy, they still have a nice flare to them. What attracted me to these bars was the brushed look to their front surface and their chunky style. When you hold them in your hand, they have a nice weight to them and heavy feel. I don’t even mind the stamped design on the front because it’s not overwhelming or large, and doesn’t take away from the overall feel of the bar.

There’s no sharp edges on these .. And hardly any smooth shiny surfaces, except for maybe a couple spots on the back of the bar. Like I said, it’s a rough pour, and they are more for stacking than they are for glitz and glamour.

When you tilt the bar on its side, you can see that it’s not a perfectly poured bar. There’s some unevenness to it and chunkiness to it that to me is desirable.

I can include the link below, where they can be purchased. I purchased mine directly from JM bullion. Right now I think they’re running somewhere between $140 and $145 depending on how you pay. Obviously, there’s free shipping over a certain threshold. I believe I’ve seen them on eBay as low as $142 or $143 free shipping. That might be an option if you’re looking not to spend an arm of leg to get free shipping.

Mine were shipped in these individual Ziploc bags. That’s all you need. And really, you don’t have to store them in there unless you really want to. Like I said they are made for adding to the stack rather than worrying about their mint state for collectible resale later down the road.

When I purchased these, I picked up 30 ounces worth, or six bars, but I plan on picking up more in the near future. I like them that much!

Definitely more than I like. Anyone fussing over my birthday. Lol.

Thanks for the birthday card and the picture Mom and Dad!

Just had to include the photo of Pirate Molly and her silver booty...So Cute!
