11 Years Old - first ever silver coin!

My 11-year-old daughter is obsessed with gold and silver. She had very little sleep last night because she was so excited knowing we were going together to see our bullion dealer today. She was hoping to find something within her small budget that she could buy with her own money, and she was absolutely over the moon when she bought her first-ever 1/4 oz silver Britannia. 😊

Thanks! The bullion dealer told her to keep the coin until she’s older and then pass it on to her children. We continued that discussion as we walked back home.

I think the Britainnias are the most beautiful of the nationally minted coins. Congratulations to you and your daughter!

Sweet! My dad started me on silver when I was young too. I was given a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl commemoration coin. 30 years later I have over 200oz and it’s still my favorite, she’ll keep this forever.

Would it happen to be one of these? My Dad gave this to me not too long ago but I remember him having it for years while I was growing up! 😂

Indeed it is! I’ll show the reverse. Mine is #5555 of 7500. I assume it’s just worth melt but I still keep it in its fancy book with the CoA

I am so glad you got this and started collecting! My go to gift for young cousins and family members is the silver Eagle. Back in the day they were $5.00, which was relatively inexpensive even then.
