Silver from the South Pacific, Silver Remains at $73
Sunday mornings I usually like to spend sitting in my backyard enjoying the plants, trees, and the weather. Mother Nature has a sense of humor it seems, since it's been raining all morning and expected to rain all day. At least it's not as bad as up north in the San Francisco area with a huge storm system moving through. Stay dry @silversaver888 !
Today I decided it might be fun to share some more silver from the South Pacific. This comes from the islands known as Tokelau. It's composed of three atolls with a very small land area. It's a protectorate of New Zealand with a population of about 2,500. I picked this up mainly because I had never heard of the place before, and it was pure silver. I recall getting a really good price on it because of the oxidation.
Have a look, it's a nice one Troy ounce silver coin:
About the coin:
From numista.com
Not surprisingly this wasn't made it Tokelau, they contracted it to the Pressburg Mint in Bratislava, Slovakia. Again, another place I know very little about. There were 15,000 of these minted in proof like condition and sell for around $93 in perfect state, I'm not sure this one would get that dollar amount. Would I ever buy another coin from the islands? Probably not, I bought this more out of curiosity not having any idea of it's origins.
What do they have do offer in Tokelau? Fishing and natural beauty, both great reasons to visit. Will I ever make it there? I doubt it, but here are some beautiful pictures to help you escape those winter blues if you live in the northern hemisphere!

The silver markets continue to hang on around the $73 mark. Due to the overall supply shortages and industrial demands the price doesn't look like it will be going down any time soon. With the Chinese restriction on exports of silver it will cause price to go up down the road. There was a time when the US produced enough silver at home that it didn't have to import it, but mining restrictions over the last couple of decades have slowed mining to a crawl. Now that copper and silver have become national priorities mining will likely pick up, but it will take years to see a difference in the markets.
Refineries are also in short supply, most are in China. So yet another item likely to drive those prices up. Silver is a smart place to invest right now! Here's the chart on silver prices over the last year:
From kitco.com
I expect silver to hit $100 in the near future, and it's something I never though I would see in my lifetime. It is exciting though! Invest in silver!
That will do it for this Sunday, I hope you all are having a great weekend. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below, and thank you for all of your support. Have a great weekend everyone!

That's a pretty cool piece. This reminds me of the watches I always browse when my wife and I visit the jewelry store.
Watches that I generally cant' afford... Things have all gotten too expensive the last couple of years!
A unique coin and pretty. I bought a "time" coin, Chronos, that has mermaids, also by Tokelau, I believe I have shown it here already (or not).
It has been raining here for two weeks straight, with only a day or two of respite. I miss our sun, @thebighigg!

A coin with a minimalist yet stylish design that looks good.
Good luck for anyone who could actually get good delivery bars from the COMEX at $73/oz plus their usual fees inside several weeks of searching through all the warehouse that's chocked full of silver bars to find just the right one.

Sometimes simple can be the most beautiful! Things are going crazy again today, $100 is coming very soon! Picking the right silver bar is always a challenge when there are so many nice ones to choose from! lol

Bratislava has a football team. It is funny but that is how much of my European knowledge was gained through football.
Thanks for the silver price update, I know I can rely on you and a great looking coin too!
It's up even higher today! Funny how sports can teach you a lot about geography! lol
Yeah I learnt so many European cities by football and saw so many places supporting my team in Europe too! Agree with you 100%
A very unique Coin, my friend!
Sounds like you picked up a good bargain, I do not even see the oxidation looks very nice!👍😊
What a beautiful place to visit, especially on a cold rainy winter day!☺️
Thanks! It was a good deal even with the milk spots everywhere! lol
A nice addition to your stack my friend, even with the very, very, tiny milk spots!!😇👍

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
