ULOG #0003 - Good News - STEEM is Up 💵 👍! Bad News

I bought ETH a week ago but I had to wait till today to trade to STEEM and SBD, but, both of their prices went up about 20% - 30% already!

I'll just have to wait for the prices of STEEM and SBD to settle down a bit before I trade my ETH for them.

In the meantime, my purchases of silver coins and silver rounds have been delivered and some have been shipped. I will share them perhaps once a week - it will give me a fun post once a week for a few weeks. I am also eyeing a few gorgeous silver coins and will buy some more as the prices of silver are still depressed - artificially.

So, here is the first coin that I am sharing:

Obverse: New stylized design of a Hawksbill turtle, also known as the Taku, swimming in shallow waters amidst tiny bubbles.

Reverse: The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2018 date.

PRODUCT DETAILS This coin is a continuation of the Silver Taku series from the New Zealand Mint that has grown tremendously in popularity in its brief existence. The coin combines the appeal of 1 oz of Silver with an elegant design that captures the beauty of the ocean.
Coin Highlights:
Contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver.
Coin comes in protective packaging. Multiples of 20 come in plastic tubes.
Limited mintage of less than 350,000 coins.

Hawksbill turtles are found throughout the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Named for their narrow, pointed beak, they are also recognizable by a distinctive pattern of overlapping scales on their exquisitely colored and patterned shells. This species typically avoids deep waters, preferring coastlines and coral reefs where they can find sponges, a primary food source for these omnivores.

Beautiful creatures, they make incredible migrations in order to move from feeding sites to tropical beaches that often serve as nesting grounds. Hawksbill turtles come to New Zealand every year from Fiji. Although they’ve been sighted as far south as Cook Strait, they are mostly seen in the upper North Island of New Zealand in the clear, shallow waters of the island shelve.

Like many sea turtles, hawksbills are a critically endangered species due mostly to human impact. Hawksbill eggs are still eaten around the world despite the turtle’s international protected status, and they are often killed for their flesh and their stunning shells that are highly valuable in some marketplaces.
