2023 Rwandan Silver Great Eastern Nautical Ounce Coin
I’ve had this since March of last year.
I had completely forgotten about this coin until I saw it on a dealer’s website. I thought to myself, ‘Wait, I have that coin!’ And sure enough,
Does this ever happen to you?
I created this blog mainly to document my journey of stacking silver and gold. Naturally, I feature most of my coins (i.e.,the single ones) as I receive them (they’re queued, of course).
I typically buy one, two, or three of each of the other coins.
I continue to add quarter-ounce American Gold Eagles, American Silver Eagles, and U.S. Constitutional Silver to my stack.
Being an American, quarter-ounce American Gold Eagles, American Silver Eagles, and U.S. Constitutional Silver form the core of my stack. In addition, these specific coins are the foundation of my stack because of their historical significance, widespread recognition, and investment value. For all other types of coins, I purchase just one of each or a few to diversify and enhance the uniqueness of my overall stack.

The SS Great Eastern was an impressive steamship
It was designed by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and launched in 1858.
Initially, the ship was intended for transporting passengers and cargo between England and Australia. Brunel envisioned it as a "floating city" that could sail halfway around the world without needing to refuel.
The Great Eastern's maiden voyage took place in August 1859, but it was marred by an explosion that caused significant damage. After repairs, the Great Eastern was converted into a cable-laying ship and successfully laid the first lasting transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866. This was a significant achievement in communication history.
The ship had a varied career, including serving as a passenger liner between Britain and North America, and later as a floating music hall and advertising hoarding in Liverpool. It was eventually scrapped in 1889.
The Theme
The ongoing series centers around historic sailing vessels, with each coin showcasing a different ship that played a significant role in maritime history.

That is pretty cool! I used to know some guys who were missionaries over in Rwanda a long time ago. They basically grew up over there. This is a really neat piece.
That's great to hear! It's amazing how experiences like that can shape someone's life. Rwanda has such a rich culture and history, and growing up there must have been quite an adventure for them. I'm glad you found the piece interesting, @bozz! It is quite a collection of coins.

Adding fractional goal to your stack is always a wise move @silversaver888!👍
Silver is always more explosive, but gold is more stable for the long play investment!😊
Absolutely, @silvertop! Diversifying our stacks with both gold and silver is a strategic approach. Gold’s stability provides a solid foundation, while silver can offer those explosive gains.👍 Keep stacking and balancing for the best of both worlds!😊

It's amazing, right sis? The history of trans-oceanic cable laying is fascinating and often overlooked. Who would've thought trans-oceanic cables date back so far! The detail on the coin with the ship, water, compass, and sextant really brings that history to life. Glad you enjoyed it, sis! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

No kidding. @trautenberk! Ships and the navy are all the rage on #silvegoldstackers lately. Seems like everyone's got a seafaring story to share. Any posts that have particularly caught your eye? 🚢📜 Are you ready for another coin with a ship?

I don't have any more ships on the coin. But I have a lot of them on stamps. Sometimes I'll do a post with a hundred stamps with a ship motif. Sometimes.
Another very lovely coin with ship, thanks for sharing sis !LUV !LADY
