A silver surprise in the mail! / Re-blog lottery for a chance to win 3 HSBI!

avatar

The Hive community is full of generous people. It's one of the things I love about interacting with everyone here on Hive. As a member of the #silvergoldstackers we interact and share interesting coins, rounds, bars, or even jewelry made with precious metals like silver and gold. On occasions members will do free or paid raffles to win some silver prizes, about a month or so ago I was lucky enough to win second prize in one, @bitcoinman will be relieved to hear that I finally received the silver prizes he sent me from his free raffle. The postal service between Canada and the US sure wasn't very fast this time around. He sent it off about a month ago and it finally made it my way, and to boot they didn't cancel the Canadian stamp so I got an extra Canadian bonus. Now if only I collected stamps.... lol!

He sent me three one gram silver bars and a five grain silver bar as well. These are all fairly tiny but have great designs and are solid silver. I took one picture next to a tape measurer just so you can reference it's size. Aren't they cool looking! Usually you will only find gold bars in one gram or less, so these are really cool to add to my stack! Thanks again @bitcoinman !

They came inside an envelope with this cardboard protector inside

Once I flipped it open here is what I saw!

Sweet! Canadian Content.
The postage seems to take just as long if not longer coming in from the US into Canada especially if it is not registered mail. Often held up by the CBSA for 4 weeks long in a few cases before handing the package off to CanadaPost. From that point, trackable packages are often untrackable under ExpressPost until they are received at my Postal Box.
Re-blogging.

Thanks! It took a month at least so they are slow on the handover to the adjacent country. Bizarre! How did you like my Canadian stamp?

It's a 2022 reindeer Christmas Stamp, I recall sending a few Christmas cards last winter to a few relatives in the US, $1.30. I'm expecting the postage price to go up this July, maybe it was postponed until a few months before Christmas.
I don't collect stamps, though I save uncancelled stamps. I think there was an uncle of mine down in Seattle that did.
