Had another mail call today, this time adding something a bit different to my collection.

3 gold leaf notes from a small island nation I had never heard before called Antigua & Barbuda:

Unfortunately they are super shiny and I couldn't take any proper photos.

Now, there's not much info about them on the internet. Mine were minted in 1981 and they have a denomination of 30 $ each.

According to a post I found on reddit, they are still legal tender and if I visit the country I can cash them for the face value which typically exceeds what they go for, which is around 15-20$ a piece on ebay. As for me, I got each for 12$. Not bad!

Apparently they were never a big hit amongst collectors hence why they are so cheap these days.

As for composition, @kerrislravenhill informed me they are gold plated 0.958 silver, also known as Britannia silver. However this site claims they are 0.999. Dunno.

As you probably know by now, I am a sucker for shiny animal themed stuff so naturally I love them. And I think I got them for a really good price so a win in my book :)

I guess I'll take a break from German coins and cover each piece individually in the days to come.

Anyways, let's move on to the upcoming silvergoldstackers raffle!

Thanks to the juicy donations by @buggedout and @bulliontools the Europe hub will be giving out a total of 6.5 silver ounces to a lucky winner! There was also a symbolic donation by @youloseagain , I guess it will cover some of the postal fee 😆

So one lucky winner will be getting:
2 x Maples
2 x Guineas
2 x Silver dragon rectangle thingies
1 x mystery coin !

Not bad if you ask me!

Sorry, no photo of the mystery thingie, sorry :p Hint, it's one of my favorite coins.

Closing I want to remind you to follow @buggedout and @ssg-community for all the latest updates on the raffle! You don't want to miss it! It's gonna be epic!

This was one issue I couldn't reconcile since different sources claim either 999, 925 or 985 fine. Even Numista has been wrong on some of their information. In expediency I simply picked the most plausible by number most often claimed until I find a credible source.
A lovely and elegant banknote, but for the amount of silver in this note, the net difference is not really significant in Stacking terms.
I have two notes of this part of the Excelcior collection; The Queen Anne's Revenge and The Royal Fortune.

I don't know anything about Barbuda, but Antigua is a popular vacation destination in my area of the country (Northeast USA/Long Island). Seems to be relatively close by direct flight and people take short, sun-filled vacations down there.

My daughter said she checked it out and it's also a very safe place to visit (high on her list of priorities). She went to Curacao instead--also an island that is popular with NY tourists.

Just thought I'd add a little bit of Antigua lore 😇

Those notes were initially listed in magazines for sale. That’s why they never caught on.
As far as the Europe hub I’m grabbing that prize!!!!
