Postal Express Mint: 2022 Happy Halloween silver art bar

avatar

It’s October, I’m pulling out my black chest of the fall season shiny. So I’ll have to get to my latest garden adventures in another time.

“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

I just want to assure my followers that I am still in the land of the living. 2023 to 2024 has been no doubt a tough year for me. Life’s adversities have again knocked the wind out of my sails and I need to work my way back. There are a bunch of half-baked posts sitting on the back burner that were supposed be posted over the last month but motivation, health and energy has been in short supply.

My latest chapter has given me further incentive to reclaim my health back and get my mind out of the fog. I’ve always enjoyed the fall season and I hope to leverage that into a measurable recovery mode. I’ve already got a lineup of Halloween silver including some Monarch bars and the new 2024 Scottsdale silver for this harvest month. Then finish off those old half-baked posts in November. At least that’s the plan.

Kicking off with the Postal Express mint

Colby Brewer is the founder, artist and proprietor of the Postal Express mint in Idaho, pouring his way into the Art bar and silver stacking community since the spring of 2019.

He does have a presence on Meta and Instagram but knowing some of you are not fans of either of these Big Tech social websites there is always his Postal Express Mint website where he hangs his silver minting shingle, mind you that the website is Under Construction. After perusing his Instagram page you will get a good idea of his humorous art style.

There are two styles of this fun Halloween bar, the first one as a milled One troy ounce standard sized silver bar, and the 5 troy oz. poured bar version in a collaboration with Kevin Bailey of Mutiny Metals. I don’t think there is a colorized version.

And he went through the expense of personalizing this bar at the bottom.

Often relegated as generic and clearance item silver, Art bars like these are intended as gifts for special occasions and holiday gift giving. Other Art bar themes include graduation, birthdays, anniversaries, special events etc. and often including a characteristic space to engrave a personal message or name. In the past I tried to encourage a friend to Stack some of her future savings to no avail. I sometimes wondered how she’s doing.

Once again my gratitude to Nyssacat for this fun Halloween themed art bar as a surprise gift, he’s even got this engraved with my name too. 💋

What Happened?

“It is not cancer.” Said my Physician much to my relief after the testing and imaging results. “It looks like Cholecystitis, you got a heck of a collection of gall stones plugging up things causing the pain and nausea.”

Fast forwarding.

I must have been really out-to-lunch for the few days following my surgery I was still wearing these things. Hmmm, I wonder if the jelly middle uses any colloidal silver?

My latest ordeal placed a lot more anxiety and worry on my eldest son. Following the loss of his Grandmother and my best friend in the last year, then seeing me in such a fragile and weak state, he admitted being very afraid of losing me. The cold reality is that we couldn’t guarantee being around next month or even the year, but we talked, hugged and promised to spend more time together, and God willing be together as long as we can. 💖
Living in the now.

Stacking Hive, Precious metals and love for those dark stormy days!

This silver bar is a recent acquisition under the CATagory of 'Gothic Styled Stacking 'so any Halloween related silver are kept in my lovely black treasure chest along with my silver Vampire denture and silver bat. 🦇
For the last several years I have been saving my buying power in the form of gold and silver bullion as a financial insurance hedge against the current flawed fiat currency system.
And I couldn't resist 'Twilight' my newest little desk stuffy. 'Twilight Black Cat' #13551 is a part of Palm Pals series by auroragift.com. I miss my previous Tabby cat, I hope another cat will adopt me in the future.

I think it's really cool that there's even a Halloween style silver. I didn't even know there's art in investing in it too! That black treasure chest sounds like one that you can loot in a fantasy game - full of shiny silver things ! 😍

Now I want a desk fluffy too, like a little black crow or raven stuffy that can accompany me in my table top games. 😊 I want to buy this too !

Look at these cards (photo from this Reddit guy called TimothyTG)

Witchcraft, heard of it but I never came across this.
I just found a little black bat stuffy toy for $15 CAD, awesome, he can go with my Vampire dentures in 0.999 fine silver.

In my college years I got into the RPG; Vampire, The Masquerade.

Glad you're still in the land of the living my dear, let's hope all these health stuff is soon fading and back to your old (or better!?) self..

Following the loss of his Grandmother and my best friend in the last year, then seeing me in such a fragile and weak state, he admitted being very afraid of losing me.

I can only imagine how frightening that must have been, poor kid!

I immediately went to the postal express site and found it under construction as you mentioned.. now off to Instagram because I like the style!

Have a great day ahead !LADY much !LUV from Spain!

I was a workaholic after my mother, where I worked my regular night shift and did side gigs in the day to remain ahead of the bills until my Roommate started getting sick. Eventually I ended up caring for her for a better part of the day. I barely got 6 hours of sleep daily so the wear & tear really took a toll on my health over the last few years.

Nevertheless, this situation also took a toll on my two sons. There never seemed to be enough time to be together as a family. I tried to participate in a weekly scheduled family games time only to fall asleep in the middle of it.

Now that I am on Medical leave (And that may be permanent) , I have the opportunity to make up for the lost quality time.

If those leftover electrodes contained any colloidal silver by now it’s inside you……….😇😊
Now that’s a secure way to stack your silver, no one can take that from you Lol😊
Glad surgery went well, and that you are starting to feel a bit better @kerrislravenhill !🤗

I looked these electrodes up and dug deep. Silver is not mentioned in any of the several extracts that I sped read through regarding the hydrogel. A bevy of bio-synthetic compounds appear to be the actual mechanism that conduct k+/cl- signals into a measurable and quantifiable electron flow. It got into molecular geometry when my eyes started glazing over resulting in the concept going over my head.

Conclusion, we will never know if silver is involved in the transduction of bio-signals into electron signals and thus remain a product secret.

Thanks for coming aboard @silvertop

Take care of yourself, I understand what your eldest son may feel.
I lost my father when I was very young, and then my mother died, these events make me feel depressed, your eldest son could feel that way, but you are with him and if GOD allows it, he will spend a lot of time enjoying you company and vice versa.
A hug with much affection and respect

Thank you @lupega, That has to be my focus from now on. He may be a young adult now yet I will always see him as my son, both my sons. They wish to see me healthy again.
While I am on Medical leave, I am blessed to have the opportunity to make up for time I should have set aside in the past.

What a relief!
It would have been devastating to my boys.
I don't know about your situation but a lot a people I know have manifest many more health issues since the Covid19 Vaccinations. My health issues took a noticeable change right after the second mandatory booster. The Naysayers and Vaccine critics appear to have valid arguments.
The evidence is out there.

Thank you @fat-elvis

Parents just can't afford to underestimate the effect of personal loss of family members that are close to them. Even if it appears in control on the outside but under the surface there will be fears and anxieties that need to be acknowledged and addressed.
Talk about it, prayers, hugs, and not put these off.

Always, with !LUV 🤗🌺❤️

I love those bars! Scottsdale has some great ones this year, I'll have to look into the Polar Express in Idaho.

I'm glad it wasn't anything real serious, but still not fun to have. I'm glad you got the old gallbladder out! Feel better!

Welcome aboard @ladyaryastark,
This post is about the art of the pure silver bar.
For the last ten years I have been saving money in the form of investment grade precious metals, gold and silver. And in those years there has been lots of growth in the variety of these products that I collect and share in Hive's Leofinance Investment community.
My savings is literally a fun treasure trove. It serves as an inflation proof asset over the long term. I can sell it in the event of an emergency. I can use it as financial collateral to borrow cash for a business venture. Barter silver coins for goods and services. And ultimately a Financial insurance for all that I have worked for. I hope to pass this on to my two sons.

You're very smart, saving silver and gold is much better than saving in banks where money loose value every year.
