Gothic Styled Stacking: Theme Collecting Intaglio Mint’s Vintage Horror Series
P
“Black birds tend to like Shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
It’s a tragic story.
Click here for the appropriate music while I get my hanky.
The trouble with Theme (Stacking) Collecting on my Quarterly Dollar Cost Averaging plan is that I could miss a silver round or two in trying to complete series. Right off the start and to my HORROR that nightmare had it come to pass.
With the character of the Canadian Silver bullion market and the so few Gothic Stackers like myself, I expected this Intaglio Mint bullion product line to be a slow mover and may just go down in price, especially in the Horror genre.
The Silver Round
“How good and thoughtful he is; the world seems full of good men--even if there are monsters in it.” ~ Count Dracula quotes.
Mind you that I am happy that this Canadian E-tailer who have been, albeit gradual, they had expanded a better bullion product line as long as I can remember making my first purchase from. But since the WallStreetbets effect over the last few weeks this Coin E-tailer suffered the same fate as their American counterparts.
Goodbye Frankie, Wolfman, and Swamp Creature, my post physical silver run assessment saw these iconic Horror monsters slip from my clutches when I decided to await on the next planned purchase list. With the $24 CAD high premium I felt the false sense of security knowing that they would be there on my next purchase window.
The Next Round
The Series is as follows;
- Dracula ✔
- Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (type 1) ✔
- Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (type 2) Sold out
- Frankenstein
- The Mummy
- Swamp Creature
“Oh, the terrible struggle that I have had against sleep so often of late; the pain of the sleeplessness, or the pain of the fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror as it has for me! How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.” ~ Count Dracula quotes
Intaglio also made these in 1 oz rounds, my retailer only had available the 2 troy oz rounds at the time. I wanted the 2 oz, size regardless as these often made in a better quality of relief than that of the 1 oz.
The Retailer is not planning to restock this series. So, in hindsight I could have extended my purchase and a bit more flexible with my Emergency Reserve funds. I am going to have a tougher time filling out this series.
Bonus Silver Skull
Beaver Bullion (BB) is a brand by John Masterson, a Canadian Silver Artist known also for his Masterson Pirate bullion bars line. Nice to know he is still pouring since I discovered his product line almost five years ago.
Despite my error in not being able to complete this set in the near future, I am content to have my favorite and most important round of the Gothic icon Dracula and ‘Count’ myself fortunate. To a Goth, any day can be Halloween!
I hope you enjoyed this spooky feature of silver
Thank you for dropping in for a look!

I like both the Drucala Coin and the bonus Beaver Bullion Celtic Skull you showed.

Hugs and Kisses, sis @kerrislravenhill 🥰🌺🤙

Dracula just looks awesome. Great relief, well stamped. I could easily tell it being the original actor Bela Lugosi who starred in the first movie role.
Always Sis, with eternal undying love 🤗 🌺 💖

Holy wow sis 😍
This is so up my ALLEY 😜
Love The Dracula 🧛♂️ and that skull is really sweet 😍 heck I love them all and I never seen any of them ever before. Amazing show sis 😉
Thank you for sharing and have a fantastic weekend.
And Happy Valentines day 💗
Intaglio is also known for small production runs so I hope I could still bag at least Frankenstein on the next go round. It's not like a popular genre except to me.
Thanks for the delightful comment Sis @saffisara

Awesome Intaglio Mint rounds, glad I didn’t start that series. Intaglio Mint rounds are hard to get now that they don’t sell direct. Nice skull too, don’t have a Beaver Bullion piece yet.
From the “Tag Master” I bow🥷🏻
I think I will get a capsule for Dracula.
Thanks for dropping in, and the reblog @silverd510

Since you like "Gothic" connect Dracula to QEII. Hint: the connection runs through the village of Owen unter Teck and the issue with the horses came to be one of @handofzara ' s reasons for the love of America!
Happy hunting!
There's no doubt about all the 'incestuous relationships' between all of the European Royalty and Aristocracy through the centuries I will likely yield some connections there are more things afoot that meets the eye. Village of Owen... huh?
Thank you for commenting @handofzara

Teck is the real clue!

I'm betting Prince Charles is not really a soft spoken compassionate Prince as touted by the Royal Press. But another royal egomaniac with an insatiable taste for power.
Diana discovered his true self and was eliminated from the Club.
My opinion of course.
Bela Lugosi over the Bloody Royals any day. 😉
@kerrislravenhill I hope you are able to find the remaining silver rounds to complete this set. The way @silverd510 was talking today on discord everything is sky high in premiums🙄
Happy to have my immortalized Bela Lugosi Dracula in my hands, if I were allowed one only it would be this Horror Icon.
Thank you for the encouraging comment @silvertop

One of the best...... Bela Lugosi was the one and only Dracula @kerrislravenhill !😀
The Count Dracula round is very, very nice! I like the candlestick especially! If you wait and are patient, I am sure you will eventually get the collection. Somewhere, someone will want to 'dump' that silver round, not knowing what they have. We've all seen when a relative who knows not what they have, that has been given or inherited, have sold it, or at times, if a real coin, used it as money and it ended up in a change drawer at the store!
Thanks for sharing your treasure sis! Take care!💜
But, I am grateful for what I do have, the Bela Lugosi's version of Dracula.
Thanks for your encouragement Sister @elizabethbit

11000? I guess I am more social than I think because I usually kept to myself. Sort of anti-social personally. I guess HIVE really does encourage us to socialize more than we think we do.

Ah ah You're welcome @kerrislravenhill, nice to see that you have the good mentality 😉🌹🌹🌹
Back in the 1960s, "Monster Movies" were the rave. Most kids loved them. Thanks for sharing the memory, @kerrislravenhill. Tickets were a Quarter Dollar (USD), Silver of course.
American productions have their own shtick and charm as well with a fun crop of Monster flik features.

The Dracula coin is really great ;)
Theme collecting makes Stacking fun, I was into horror in my younger years and a fan of the Dracula story.
